Nice recap. I am looking forward to see how things develop with the Raiders. I think you should trade for Jordan Mason. I would hate to see him go but I don't see how he gets many snaps with CMC back healthy and Mitchell back as well. Purdy doesn't trust him in the pass game so even though the 49ers need RB depth I think they would move on from him for a third rounder. He is a restricted FA so they would probably have to put a 2nd round tender on him.

You had me until the draft compensation part. I don't see them trading a third rounder for a RB. They'd just draft one in the third (or higher).

I'm all for throwing a little money and Mason, though.

Unless you are drafting Jeanty, there is a good chance whoever you draft is not as good as Mason. Pete will love Mason, he runs like Beastmode.

I am happy for the 49ers to keep him but I don't think he will get a lot of reps with them. I would like to see him thrive elsewhere and preferably in AFC.

I'm not even opposed to the idea. He's exactly the kind of back we need, because the backs we have who might be worth keeping are not that kind of violent power runner.

I just don't expect them to trade a third for another teams backup RB.

Who cares if he is a backup? He was third in the league in rushing after 1/3 of the season. Clearly he can be a number one back. Can he stay healthy with that running style is another question.
