Update: Barring a “seismic jump” from Trey Lance, a huge regression from Brock Purdy, or an unfortunate injury, Brock Purdy will be the team’s starter in 2023, per @MikeSilver
SF traded 3 first round picks for the right to draft Trey Lance and will now likely have to trade him.
Everyone reacting “Etienne to the moon” must not have seen Breece Hall in that Jets scheme the last few weeks.
James Robinson will probably outscore Etienne the rest of the year.
Najee Harris just said he just took a steel plate out of his shoe two days ago. He said that’s been in his shoe since he injured his foot in training camp. He feels 100%, and taking that steel plate out was the last step in the process.
Counter-points:
-Gibson's ceiling is capped by lack of passing down upside
-Gibson has had nagging injuries his entire career. The toe is still an issue.
-Gibson does not have a history of elite production
Barkley>Gibson

Najee Harris not being good shouldn’t be coming as a surprise.
Was entirely brand equity and name value as a prospect, with a “situation” argument being his best value add.
