Niner Noise

● By Peter Panacy
There are a lot of good reasons why the San Francisco 49ers hold onto quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo despite securing the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft from the Miami Dolphins. That newly acquired pick will be used on a quarterback. But considering the Niners are in a position where they can win now, and Jimmy G has already shown he can take a team to the Super Bowl if fully healthy, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest Garoppolo spends one last season in the red and gold. And if Garoppolo puts in a high-quality 2021 campaign, he certainly just upped his trade value for San Francisco a year from now.
