Here's what I think now that it has settled in.
Did they overpay for Clark? Sure, they did. I don't think it was a dramatic overpay though.
The 29th is practically a 2nd rounder and a late 2nd in 2020 (lets be realistic, they are taking the lesser one and at least 1 of us of the 49ers are going to the playoffs....if not both teams and it would take a Pat injury for us to not make it). That's a future late 2nd, which carries the value of a late 3rd today.
Staying at 29 would have been the drizzling shits. They basically sent the value equivalent of a 2+late 3rd for a high end edge Defender. It was going to cost more to land one in the draft.
Saying this is the worst overspend is the stupidest ****ing thing I've read yet today (Hamas). Must have been under a rock when they spent 33 + another 2 for tiny hands checkdown or the 35th pick for Afcasselstan. Ease up on the waterworks because uh, this isn't even close.
They just need a #1 corner and they'll have a very competent Defense. As for the cap. Do you guys still give a **** about it?
