The question then turns into whether or not the value is worth the trade. Instead of discussing the players, let’s take a look at the history of trading. Warren Sharp, creator of Sharp Football, put together some detailed analysis on this very subject.This isn’t so much related to the top of the draft as it is compensatory picks. It’s a very interesting article. The common train of thought is that building through the draft is the best route for team building. While that’s true, it’s also difficult considering that you only have seven draft picks to hit on. If the goal is to not over pay other teams free agents while accumulating more draft picks https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Garrett-Celek-Jersey , compensatory picks are the way to go.How the 49ers stack upOne of the most difficult decisions teams make every year is valuing if a player is worth an extension. If that player isn’t critical to your team, it’s smart to let another team overpay. This is how you are awarded one of the 32 compensatory picks that the league hands out every year. It’s a numbers game. The more picks you have, the more opportunities you have to come away with good players.Sharp on the chart above:The last 4 of the 5 teams that won the Super Bowl are in the top 5. That says something. The 49ers come in at 12th. The team is also 10th in “total comp picks by round.”I’ll be interested in how this shakes out for the team in the next couple years. They’ve been aggressive in free agency. If a guy like Dee Ford or Kwon Alexander don’t work out, them walking will surely lead to a high comp pick. With the amount of cap space the team has, they should be aggressive. Now that comp picks can be traded, that allows you to maneuver in the draft. Teams like the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens take advantage of this. Will the Niners join the party? Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days).

Kyle “the new Fooch” Posey said it plainly:Translation: once Weston Richburg is fully cleared Arik Armstead Jersey , Johnson would be wise to have his bags packed.Basic infoAge: 28 (turns 29 on January 9, 2020)Experience: 5 seasonsHeight: 6’ 5”Weight: 309Cap StatusThe details of Johnson’s contract have not been announced, but odds are good that he’s receiving the veteran minimum which, with 4 to 6 accrued seasons, would be $805,000. According to Spotrac, though, if he did not receive more than $90 Frank Gore Color Rush Jersey ,000 in bonuses (which seems like a safe bet), his cap hit will be only $645,000. In any case, his contract is almost certainly not guaranteed so it’s unlikely there is any dead money at all if he’s cut.What to expect in 2019:Johnson has been kicking around the league for five years. Last year, the Dolphins signed him off the street in October, then suffered a horrible rash of injuries. Miami coach Adam Gase’s reaction in this November 10th interview tells you what you need to know:The punchline? Johnson played a total of one offensive snap in the six remaining games. Guess it didn’t go so well. (To be fair, he played three or four special teams snaps per game for a total of 19 plays.)Odds of making the roster:This team is likely to carry two centers, and those centers are extremely likely to be Weston Richburg and Erik “Goldmine” Magnuson https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Bradley-Pinion-Jersey , who also plays tackle. If either gets injured before the season starts, Johnson will have a fighting chance — but the team may also bring in another center (perhaps a veteran who gets cut from another camp) to compete with him. Johnson seems like a nice guy, and he’s had a good run, but his odds of being a 2019 49er are very small.
