Speaking of Justin, I don't think his draft stock should have fallen the way it has the past few weeks. I really do feel like he should still be considered the #2, no less than #3 QB in this draft. A team passing on him and choosing someone like Mac Jones could end up in some ways mirroring what happened regarding what happened Mitchell Trubisky was taken higher, when teams passed on Deshaun Watson.

Agreed with what you said but to your point in bold, I don’t think it has fallen quite as much as the media claims. It’s always easy, around this time, to forget that media may have some inside scoops but they aren’t the front offices. He could and still probably is #2 on most draft boards. I find it funny as well that a guy can not play a snap for 6 months yet according to the media, he is far behind lance and Wilson. 

Good thing for us is the thoughts around Trevor have not waivered much, if any, since his last snap. Great day to e a Jaguar.

It is interesting to hear the media keep hyping up the other prospects, especially since when the season was going on they were saying Justin would go no less than #2. At least a few were even making a case for him to be the #1 pick. Now they are making it sound like he might be waiting for a bit to be called and they keep touting prospects like Mac Jones as going very high. This feels like it could really could be another Mitchell Trubisky/Deshaun Watson situation. The 49ers need to be careful and really think about what is the best direction for their team. They will get a lot of ridicule if they don't end up making the right decision regarding QB. If they pass up on Justin or take Mac and he doesn't do that well, they definitely won't look good. Especially considering how much they gave up to get to the #3 spot and since it looks like they are already ready to move off of Jimmy G. (Who has ups and downs and an injury history but still helped take them to a Super Bowl not too long ago.)

It's quite possible that Garoppolo could be traded this weekend.  It'll be interesting to see what they could get for him.  On the one hand, he has QBd the 49ers to a Super Bowl and is still relatively young.  There will still be some QB desperate teams out there by the middle of the first round.  On the other hand, it's beyond obvious the 49ers have given up on him.  Despite his resume, the 49ers feel he is obsolete for their purposes.  My guess is they get a 2nd or 4rd round pick for him.

As for Minshew, I would be okay with the team keeping him, as long as we only see him in a preseason game, or in mop up duty in the late stages of a blowout Jaguars win.  If he stays, though, it would be quote the dynamic.  Two popular QBs on the team...both with interesting hair.  You couldn't have two more different personalities-at least from what I've seen.  You have Trevor Lawrence, straight laced devout Christian, already married, highly drafted, tall, strong armed.  Then you have Minshew, the mullet wearing Burt Reynolds reminiscent, spunky guy who got an offer from a porn site to do exercises, who has worn some outlandish clothing for laughs.    As for why they didn't trade him before now...who knows?  Maybe they think they will get more for him if another QB gets injured.  Maybe they'll get more for him as the draft progresses.  Perhaps the most interested said to wait until the draft.  Maybe they actually like him and they want strong competition for the back up spot.  If we deal him, I wouldn't expect to get more than a 4th or 5th.  But if he's traded, I too hope he goes to a good situation, as long as it isn't to a team I hate, and as long as he doesn't come back to beat us.

I had definitely thought they might trade Jimmy tonight. Though, now reports are coming out from Adam Schefter that the 49ers are not looking to trade him (though teams are asking about him), unless they are blown away by an offer. I wonder if they are bluffing a bit or trying to force a team to give them a good haul for Jimmy. I think they could definitely work something out and trade him back to the Patriots. I also wonder what other teams are asking about Jimmy. Maybe a team like Washington. 

And I've heard rumblings that the Lions might even be looking to make a move regarding QB as well, so maybe something will happen on that front. Maybe something interesting might happen there in the draft or with Atlanta. Atlanta could definitely turn things on its heels in the draft if they actually went and got a QB with their pick. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't do that. Maybe they will try and trade back.
