No. Kap wouldn't get traded for linemen. You never want to pray to find an NFL-caliber QB, and Blaine Gabbert ain't winning shit. You can get lineman in the 5th and 6th rounds who become Pro Bowlers more often than QBs. The only way I'd see Kap getting traded is if he doesn't fit the new coach's system and he wants to sell high on his most valuable player.
PFF ratings are generally bullshit to me, but it's one of the few measures people have for Moneyballing football. Personally I follow FootballOutsider's statistics more than PFF. Regardless tho, it doesn't take a genius to realize the 9ers have lost a plethora of talented starters this offseason, and they're more likely to be average or bad than NFC Champions. They're particularly thin at linebacker and OL. Boone is reportedly unhappy with his contract (something my team is also experiencing), and with Davis' retirement at such a young age, it's a wonder whether Kap will have any protection this year. Willis wasn't expected to play forever, but Borland was a big surprise, and with Bowman (PSU graduate like myself) coming off such major injury, there's real concern about the ILB position.
