Is Moody an especially good field goal kicker?
either way, Few positions in the NFL are proven to be more valuable than the kicker. So much riding in such a thankless position. How many super bowls won by the kicker? They must’ve really liked him and likely got word that he wouldn’t be available for their next pick

Moody is really good. Also... Robbie Gould is 40 and one of the most expensive players in the league at his position. I think Shana-Lynch took Wishnowsky in the third too didn't they? He hasn't exactly been elite but getting a 10 year starter in the 3rd round isn't a bad deal. Kickers score points too. The safety from Penn State they got at pick 87 looks good to me. They also got a backup TE. For a team that had no picks in the first two rounds and very few open spots on the depth chart I think they're doing fine so far. Still need an OT and a LB though.
Darnold was a third overall pick himself. If he outplays Trey Lance and gets us wins until Purdy is ready to return then we still came out ahead. I don't care about how many picks we gave up to get Lance. Lynch and Shanahan have swung and missed on most of their first and second round picks with the Niners and we still have a roster stuffed with Pro Bowlers and we're in contention almost every year. That's all that matters in the end.
I mean, I think he's been dead.
Darnold got 4.5 mil guaranteed. I don't think he signs with us or we give him that much unless we told him that he'll got a shot to compete for the job, or he'll be the first guy in line if Purdy isn't ready for the regular season.
My guess is once we have some sort of timetable on Purdy, we'll ship off Lance. The benefit we DO have is I think you still get a team to spend a 2nd on him, just because we aren't totally sure he's bad yet. Been more bad-luck why he hasn't played yet.
