— The #Panthers get a 2nd round pick in 2023, a third-rounder in 2023, and a fourth-round pick in 2023. Plus, a fifth-rounder in 2024.Massive.
The #49ers go all-in, getting it done for one of the elite talents in the NFL.
The #Panthers load up on draft picks, preparing for a potential QB move in this coming draft. They have the chips. https://t.co/dBNBLq3Oqt— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 21, 2022
Niners fans are clearly hyped about the prospect of bringing in a huge offensive weapon to a dominant defense.
Wow! CMC’s the ultimate fit in the everybody-can-run-and-catch offense, but the 49ers keep throwing resources at RBs with limited success https://t.co/wd6Io6EesA

Are you kidding me? Christian McCaffery to the 49ers?
Well, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan aren’t giving up on this season. I didn’t even know San Francisco had enough draft picks!
Not often you get a big trade in the NFL. This is one of those. WOW! https://t.co/aYwSu9quXs
