Jeff Duncan on Sean Payton 2023

Sean isn't going to sit out for more than a year. I think the plan was already in place when we used our first pick this year to trade up and grab Olave. We knew that we could recoup that pick with Sean's trade. The bad thing is no one saw it as a top 5 pick, there were playoff aspirations. We see how that's play out. The #1 landing spot in S.D. is currently the holder of the 20th pick, yuck. We need the Jets or N.E. to jump them and that way we at least are guaranteed the 18th pick. A guy like Andre Carter would be there and if you have an opportunity to draft him, you run up the podium with that selection. Get a Minshew, or heck, Dalton for one more year and make a huge push to draft Williams in 24. Then we have Caleb Williams, a still young Kamara, Olave, Shaheed, and a decently young offensive line in front of em. That can be some great building blocks for our future and remain as a contender with only 2 down years in between a coaching regime change as Jim Harbaugh leads us in to the future.
