The floor is two 2nds? Not a chance we get that. We would be lucky to get a 3rd.

jumps the 49ers in a trade-up, and selects that player.

Seeing as most teams use the Draft Value Chart, or a facsimile thereof, why not include Mac as added value to
lessen the cost of a trade-up, to preserve as much draft capital as possible, and then move up in the draft.

With Chicago losing to the Rams, the 49ers are locked into pick #27. I'm not saying that they can't get a decent
player at #27, but moving up to the middle of Round 1 would be a better option, if trading Mac is in their plans.

Not a bad idea but then you are placing all your trust on the ability of Lynch and Kyle to nail the pick. If they botch the pick then poof, you've essentially given away Mac for free instead of trading him for an experienced player.

I get where you're coming from, and it's a legit concern. Sometimes you just have to have faith.
The NY Jets have two 1st Round Picks: #2 & #16. Who do they have at QB at the moment,
better than Mac ... also, who could they draft that would be immediately better than Mac Jones !?

It wouldn't hurt for Lynch / Shanahan to contact Darren Mougey (Jets GM) to see if they have an
interest in swapping picks. I doubt they'd give up their #2, but Mac Jones and the 49ers #27 for
their #16, might be doable.

Not a prediction but the Jets are drafting a QB IMO....they don't need to invest so much in landing a Mac when they can get a transitional guy without any draft investment.

As a friendly back-and-forth, I'm curious who you see in the upcoming draft, as a transitional guy.
There are (at times), a surprise selection ... but I don't see a transitional QB coming out in 2026
that the Jets can draft at #2 or #16.

Let me clarify...they can get a transitional guy in F/A. D.Jones, M.Marriota, T.Taylor, Jimmy G, R.Wilson, A.Rodgers are all just some of names available this offseason to begin with as a F/A without having to give up any draft value.

They are going to draft a QB with that #2 pick is my honest opinion...do they immediately hand him the reigns or go through a veteran first remains to be seen....being the jets they will probably start the rookie on that lousy team.

Now that the first big trade has happened, what is a realistic return for Mac Jones?
Steelers 85 and 99
Vikings greenard or Jordan Addison
Jets 44
Cardinals? New coach would be a good fit for jones
Miami 43
Falcons?

Just lower the price for Mac and trade him to the Falcons or Vikings.

2026 3rd
2027 3rd or 4th

That should get it done. We need the picks and an extra 2026 3rd should get us a really good player.

SF doesn't want to trade him and the league doesn't value him enough without Kyle.

3 trades id like to see.

Mac Jones + Guerrendo for pick 44 and Breece Hall
Mac Jones for Greenard
Mac Jones to Miami for a 1st (dont think it'll happen but an unreliable Twitter account speculated this trade was at least discussed) which i would probably then use on CB Mansoor Delane

We really need a game changing wr. Seattle has one, the rams have 1, I would love to see the jets wr on our team but I know that won't happen. I'm sure Mac would help the Jets, I just don't want all # 2 type WRs (like GB) if we get an Addison type from Minn in a trade

What part of we totally suck with 3rd round picks to people not get? (I'll give you Fred Warner but he's like the only home run 3rd rounder in about 8 years.)

We can easily play hard ball holding him into next years trade deadline

Then just flip use the 3rd to trade up in the 1st or trade down for 2 5ths
