The way the doors been slammed in our face on the offers we've put out says nobody is going to part with a #1/franchise QB and it's far from surprising. But its why I baulk at trading for Jimmy G. We'll be competing against 2-3 other teams, with probably better trade capital, forcing us to offer over the odds to land him. And SF would be quite happy to rip us off, so to speak.

Keep the picks for this and next year, get Winston or Trubisky in FA and draft BPA at #11 (if that's Willis then all to the good). For me, Jimmy G is effectively on the same level as Winston, maybe even Trubisky so why give up picks when we can pick up an FA without giving up draft capital? If one of the top QB's isn't there at #11, draft BPA or trade back, then pick up a QB in rd 2 or 3 and have them battle it out with TH to be backup. If they truly are good enough for #2 at that stage, then waving bye bye to TH isn't a big deal and if not, they can go on the PS as a project in case next years draft doesn't net us a starter. I just don't think there's anyone worth trading for at this stage, as we won't get value.
