I don't think you'll ever see another Hershel walker type trade or Rickey Williams for that matter.
As for the Vick deal, SD never originally wanted to trade that pick, they wanted Vick but couldn't reach an agreement and rather then chancing he'd hold out, they made the deal.
They got #5 of the 1st round, #5 of the 3rd round, a 2nd round pick in 2002 (turned out to be #16) and Tim Dwight.
I could see something in that range for a team that wants Reggie Bush, maybe a two 1st round pick type deal or a 1 and multiple mid/late picks...
I just think too many teams are gun shy about dealing away the future for 1 player who hasn't played an NFL down yet, unless it's a team that really feels it's close and this would "put them over".
and SF would be able to do it, if they wanted to, you can have 2-3 top stars with big deals, it's all how you structure them and more importantly the signing bonus. From a quick search it looks like they were 3-5mil under the cap in 2005 and the talk is the cap will go up next year.
SF is in a LOT better shape then they were a few years ago after Carmen Policy left.
