This is my Thursday column.
What would you would do if you ran the 49ers?
The trade deadline is 1 p.m. Tuesday, and your team is in last place in the NFC West. Should you keep fighting? Or should you give up now, prepare for the future and trade a key player like Anquan Boldin for draft picks?
Keep in mind, draft picks may not help you. Your general manger, Trent Baalke, doesn’t seem to know how to use them. The past four drafts, he picked 41 players and came away with only three good ones — running back Carlos Hyde, outside linebacker Aaron Lynch and free safety Eric Reid.
