Congratulations. You’ve just been hired as the San Francisco 49ers general manager. Unfortunately for you, the duration of your contract is based on the first move you make.
Let’s try to keep it realistic here. You’re not going to trade Brock Purdy or move all of your future draft capital for one player.

We can give you more flexibility. Let’s say you get one free agent signing, one roster cut, and then you get to make your dream selection in the first round. That would allow you to be diverse with your answers. Remember, there are no wrong answers.
We’ve tried to set the table with potential cap casualties, or free agents who could follow Raheem Morris, but the answers are never-ending because the way you look at the roster needs and how to fix the 49ers could be night and day from the person sitting next to you.

My answer: I’ll move on from Bryce Huff to create $5 million in cap space. I’m going to use that money to trade for Kayvon Thibodeaux and extend him. So we’re looking at Thibodeaux, Mykel Williams, and Nick Bosa. Then, come the draft, I’m going to find a way to come away with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. You’re welcome, Raheem.
What move would you make?
