How's the 49ers cap space? I really have no idea. I figure, even if you are getting quality picks at 1-17, you're probably overpaying for all those picks and you're not able to pick up good free agents.
I'm not saying the 49ers specifically can't draft. I love Willis and Gore and Crabtree and all those other motherfuckers (besides A. Smith). I just think as a general rule, if my team was the 32nd best team in the league and had a #1 draft pick, I'd be writing a letter to my front office every day saying TRADE DOWN.
Besides, how much did the 49ers pay Rumph, and how much did they pay Alex Smith?

I just checked, Rumph had a 3.2 million dollar signing bonus and a 4 year contract that averaged about $500,000 per year. Alex Smith had a 50 million dollar contract with $24 million guaranteed. I'm not trying to do a lot of math in my head, but it seems like you can get about 10-20 Rumph's for every Alex Smith. If they're both gonna be busts, wouldn't you rather take the guy that cost you like $5 million total?
Comparing Rumph and Smiths #s are like comparing apples and oranges. The $ made rises yearly, and also QBs get more $ than corners.
Our cap space has been fine, i think the past 2-3 years we have had 15-25 mil in cap space lol. I agree for the most part with not wanting to pick #1, unless there is a clear cut prospect that gets cant miss reviews from every and fits your team, wouldnt u want Sam Bradford @ qb if the steelers were hurting? or Suh on your D-line? Shit even if your team had an Elite qb like Brady, Manning, Brees, you should take Bradford, and have him do what Aaron Rodgers did with Favre. Players are gonna get paid regardless by someone, until the whole rookie pay scale shit is fixed. My whole point is the Niners do much better when they have a crack at the 1st 15 players available, it seems after those players are taken, they just pick in the dark
