The market was set at a 2nd and it feels like we took less.
the 2rd pick value at spot 32 is 270
3rd at spot 32 is 116, 4th at spot 32 is 44, 5th at spot 32 is 27
116+44-27=133
I used 32 spot as both the the niners and pats could be at 32 next draft. I understand it could vary. i dont see how we got fair value when Sanu set the market.
Please don't take this as insulting, because it's not meant to be, but you don't see fair value because you're not honestly assessing the players. Sanders' contract is up at the end of the year, meaning San Fran gave up a 3rd and a 4th with a 5 rounder coming back for 10 games. New England gave up a second because they are getting Sanu for 25 games (9 this year, 16 next), if they want. Also, Sanu doesn't have the injury concerns Sanders has had, AND he is 2 years younger. It's not just all about who is the best player. Head to head, yeah, I take Sanders all day. But without knowing if we can re-sign him next season, or if he'll be healthy, and knowing Sanu is 2 years younger with a lot less wear on his body? That's a different story.
