Grier pick trade 15 for 29

[Mr Fan]

How does guy keep his job, now that the draft order is settled. HE decided to trade the number 15 for the number 29 during the Waddle trade up.

Perhaps Grier could be useful in the future if we just ask him what he wants to do and just do the opposite.

The point of the trade was to get their guy and pick up and extra 1st so they can trade for a qb if tua doesn’t work out.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Let’s fully put this in perspective. First, we don’t know if Philly demanded our pick or the 49ers. If waddle was our target it shouldn’t have mattered.

Second, let’s say this was a Grier decision. Well, quite frankly I would do the same thing. Logically, if the 49ers want to trade up for a project QB who you suspect will start games given his lofty draft status then why wouldn’t you bet on your own team to outperform the 49ers.

His magical time machine that is supposed to show him how SF finishes the following year must have been broken that day. If SF had done poorly it would be to our benefit...

It happened.

Crying over it now does nothing except add to your constant moaning.

if Grier had traded Miami's 1st round pick, a lot of people would be on him for not believing in his own team

 

[traptses]

Well he didn’t trade 15 for 29. He traded our first round pick instead of SFs first round pick. In hindsight, our pick was the better pick. But damned if you do, damned if you don’t, if he traded our own first, the comments would’ve been “Grier sucks, he’s not even confident in the team he built”

 

[PhinFan1968]

At the time, Miami’s 2021 outlook was very promising. Blame the HC for devaluing the trade after the fact, with that BS early season showing.

 

[Fin-Loco]

I think there are enough examples to grade Grier on before we go into MF'ing him regarding being able to forecast a team's record a year before. SF outperformed their expectations.

 

[fishbanger]

He should have stayed at 3 and drafted chase or pitts

Ehh can’t play Monday morning qb. I certainly liked our chances more than the 49ers. 9ers got hot midway through the season, they are looking to move on from Jimmy G so Lance could struggle and give us a top 10 pick next year. This draft class isn’t great either way the real tell of the trade is next years pick. Draft is solid in wideouts but it’s a pretty big log jam in that mid 1st to early 2nd wideout between London,Olave,Burks,Dotson and you can even throw bell and pickens into that early second late 1st range. If you choose to go oline at 15 you probably miss out on 4 maybe even all 5 top linemen. 30 has a nice range of talent however I’d prefer we pick up free agents for oline rather than draft, we’ve tried the oline in 1st round before

My only thing is why didn't you protect the pick with a clause of keeping the best pick of the two?

 

[FanEnSpain]

well, im not sure if anyone expected the 49ers to go so far.

Including their own fans.

It is what it is—nothing we can do about it. Having a pick in that range may give us an option we wouldn't normally consider if the pick was higher such as trading the pick for an established NFL player like an OL. Depending on how the draft falls, positions like RB, one of the top OC, or OG could also be in play.
