49ers acquire No. 3 pick in NFL draft; Are Jimmy Garoppolo’s days in San Francisco numbered?

It’s not summer yet, but we have a blockbuster.

The 49ers executed an NFL-altering trade on Friday, sending their first-round pick to the Dolphins for the No. 3 overall selection in the upcoming draft, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Check out the details.

Filed to ESPN: Dolphins trading No. 3 overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers for the No. 12 pick, a 2021 third-round pick (SF’s comp pick for Robert Saleh hiring) and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, per sources.

Blockbuster deal with massive ramifications for years to come.

Wow. General manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan must really want one of the top players available this year. That’s a lot of capital to trade. First-round picks have lost their value a bit in recent years, but that’s three total traded by the 49ers front office.

So what are they after? Per Schefter, San Francisco has entered the quarterback sweepstakes. Their holding onto current starter, Jimmy Garoppolo, for now, according to Schefty’s sources.

49ers now square in the QB mix, but are holding on to Jimmy Garoppolo and have no plans to trade him, per sources.

Either Ohio State’s Justin Fields or BYU’s Zach Wilson figure to be available, however. It seems as though Garoppolo’s days in San Francisco are coming to an end. It’s hard to imagine the 49ers trading so much for anything but a franchise quarterback.
