Rivers to 49ers?

[dstew60105]

This was taken from the new Scout's.con mock draft.

<<One rumor that is picking up speed has the 49ers dealing this pick in exchange for Chargers QB Philip Rivers. It might not come to fruition, but it certainly makes sense for both sides. The Chargers would then have three first-round picks and their starting quarterback of the future in Drew Brees. The 49ers, on the other hand, would get a better quarterback prospect than they could find in this draft, as Rivers grades out considerably higher than Rodgers and Alex Smith (Utah). >>

If that happens, our opening day game just got alittle tougher. 3 #1's!!!

I just heard that on the sporting news radio update. I wouldn't blame SF for doing that trade.

That would be a win win for both teams.

That would be a great trade for them.........will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

But the #1 pick, I think SF get the #12 or give them their 2nd. The #1 pick for drew Brees, lol, going to SF with no targets would be a disaster for SF... then SD would grab MW first if it did happen....

Rumor is they would take Edwards with the first pick.

wow... signing three first round picks would be 'spensive for the Chargers......

They have the cap space to do it...then they would draft Spears...two starters to an already good young team. Scary...

Man, I wonder what kind of reaction it would have on the draft board?

that would be a coup for both teams IMO, Rivers is way better than either of the QBs in this draft. San Diego would rule this draft.
I don't think the 69ers will get a better offer for their #1, not in this draft.
The biggest problem for the Bolts will be when Brees goes back to sucking after they trade Rivers.

I'm with ya on the Brees thing...he will go back to being average this year IMO...with now excuses either. Imagine if you had Edwards, Gates, LT...there are no excuses in the world for him.

I'll throw in with you here as well, they should watch Brees for 1 more year,,, make sure it's not a trick!

Still, the #1 overall for Rivers seems like too much. Where is SD's actual 1st rd pick?

Trading Rivers is probably one hell of a cap hit.

they have the Giant's pick right behind us at #12 and then I think they are in the 20s with their own pick.

Imagine though if this trade goes through how many extra players San Diego will get in exchange for two guys who never played a down for them....Rivers and Manning. (I don't think Rivers got any snaps during the regular season anyway) That's what I call making the most of your picks.
