you do realize that the 4th overall player in the draft will make MUCH more money than the 13th and 17th overall players combined, dont you?

In 2009:

-4th Overall Pick, Aaron Curry, signed a six-year, $60 million contract including $34 million guaranteed.

-13th Overall Pick, Brian Orakpo, signed a five-year deal worth $20 million , which includes $12.1 million guaranteed.

-17th Overall Pick, Josh Freeman signed a five-year, $26 million contract, with 10 million garaunteed.

So, if the move was motivated by not wanting to pay "1st round money" to 2 players, how is it logical to pay one player more than $10million garaunteed MORE to ONE player? Just admit that you did the move to help the skins and we'll move on

no one wants a safety that bad. Ever. especially when they have more pressing needs. The 49ers need STARTERS at right tackle and cornerback. While safety is definitely a need for them, they have two promising young safeties on the roster already. Still, they don't have anyone to play or RT or start opposite Clements, who has himself lost a step or two. At t his point, the 49ers wouldnt trade up for anyone, especially not Berry.
