"Id begin this offseason by trading a [----] 5th to Minnesota for Jordan Addison. Why is this move #1 Because I also need a FA WR and I dont want to be held up by agents because Im viewed as desperate or needy for a WR. I also want to take the #49ers drafting a 1st round WR off the board because there are other more pressing needs IMO. What would your first move of the offseason be as 49ers general manager https://t.co/mYUriLCFjO What would your first move of the offseason be as 49ers general manager https://t.co/mYUriLCFjO"
