49ers: The highs and lows of March by Orly Rios Jr.

The 49ers made a major move on Tuesday, trading with the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

The gun-slinging 2014 second round pick from Eastern Illinois, was expected to be the Patriots QB of the future, but not anymore. The deal went down like this:

49ers get: Jimmy Garoppolo Patriots get: 49ers second round pick, No. 46 overall and 4th round pick, No. 27 overall

The move not only gives the 49ers added depth at QB, but also gives the team a sense of comfort knowing that Garoppolo is backing up Colin Kaepernick.

Appearing in five games last season as a backup to the greatest living American, Tom Brady, Jimmy completed 70% of his passes for 182 yards and a touchdown pass, good enough for a QB rating of 101.2.

Garoppolo not only will backup Kaepernick, but he’s also expected to acquire his college jersey number of 10 from WR Bruce Ellington.

In the meantime, if you’ve gotten this far and still believe this is an actual story, then consider your self OWNED!

Happy April Fool’s Day! From your friends at NinerNoise!
