I was the guy who wrote a lengthy post detailing why / how I ended up drafting Sermon at 1.08 even though I probably shouldn't have. Part of my rationale was to target a specific player's 2023 1st round pick, while I was unable to get my hands on that specific pick, I did get a pretty juicy looking '23 1st:

Gave - Trey Sermon / Marquez Callaway / '23 3rd (late)
Got - '23 1st (early) / '22 2nd (early)

Probably could have gotten more a week ago, but happy to turn a late 1st in an average class and a WW pickup into an early 2nd and early 1st in better classes.

Pretty nice haul imo. Well done.

Mitchell Week 2

Sermon Week 3

I'll argue Sermon did a better job than Mitchell getting positive yardage even when being hit in the backfield. Stat wise it doesnt look like a great game for Sermon, but tape wise he did quite well imho.

cos they got tired of the "pounding the table" joke. show the world they can draft a total bust without having to move up.

Here are his carries from Week IV

As with the previous week it looks like he did a very good job of constantly moving forward & getting yardage even when hit behind line of scrimmage.

Also I found this interesting

Shanahan said Sermon is still figuring out the proper tempo with which to hit the holes.

“Guys who just run full speed through there sometimes, run into the backs of people and can't hit it the right way and they miss a lot of holes and opportunities,” Shanahan said. “And then some guys slow down so much to try to hit it, that you had the holes there and it just passed them. And they got 3 yards instead of 8 yards.”

It was a problem Mostert during his early days with the 49ers, Shanahan said. But Mostert learned how to harness his speed and choose through which lanes to run. Mostert became the team’s leading rusher in 2019. He averaged 5.7 yards a carry in 45 games with the 49ers since 2017.

“That's something Raheem didn't have right away, but holy cow, did he get as good as anyone as I’ve been around at being able to use his speed while getting to the right holes,” Shanahan said. “It takes guys a lot of time.

Good job, but my god, it's no wonder you've won 4 of the last 5 championships when trades like that happen.

No disrespect to you at all, you're just making trades to improve your team. I just don't understand who would make that deal with someone who's been winning year in and year out. Dude must be in love with Sermon and Callaway.

I appreciate the calculators say this is an overpay right now, but part of my logic is Sermon and Mitchell are the only two backs under contract in SF after this year. I've seen lots of armchair analysis saying that Sermon will pair better with Lance's game. I also figure that if it doesn't work out, Mitchell is the best placed player to benefit so I can fall back on him.
