Agreed. After what happened with Burrows, I dont know how you cant prioritize building a line around your young QB. The track record of first round WR's is worse than RB's it seems. Most the big time young receivers were in the 2nd and 3rd round.

ROFL at people shitting on Jimmy G as being a benefactor of the run game and defense, but praising Alex "I'll settle for the FG" Smith, as if he's some sort of passing dynamo.

That'd be a really compelling argument if I said Alex Smith was way better than Jimmy or if anyone said he was a passing Dynamo. Keep knocking down the straw man.
They're different players but at their 49ers best, they were about the same tier. I'd still put smith higher since a team oriented around defense and the run game probably benefits more from consistently less turnovers. Plus, Alex clearly has better playoff 49er games than Jimmy g currently has (not to mention his Kansas City career).

Not really that odd. Gruden has likes a 1 2 punch running combo. It mixes up the options and helps keep the backs healthy through the season.
Jacobs is great but is already taking a lot of wear and tear after 2 years. He played the last games of the 2019 season with a fractured right shoulder but still managed over a 1000 yards. In 2020 he had an ankle injury at the end games of the season and was not that effective. He wasn't the only reason the Raiders fell the last half of 2020, defense was the main issue, but it didn't help.

I guess Booker was a FA so getting someone to replace makes sense. Just odd to pretty much blow up your OL releasing guys, trading your good center, then bringing in someone like Drake behind Jacobs.
As to your point, I'd think they really need to put money into the OL and defense more so than a potential challenger to Jacobs. They could likely draft an RB with a mid round pick if they needed to.

Yeah, his one win against the Saints (admittedly good) and complete inability to do anything offensively against the Giants the following week is a pretty amazing record
. Even fucking goddamn Kaepernick had a way better playoff record than that.I would agree that at their "peaks" they are roughly the same. Alex had less turnover potential, but he couldn't push the ball downfield to save his life. Jimmy has a lot higher turnover potential, but can actually connect on a deep pass occasionally.
