No other way to put it. This team’s immediate future is in the hands of one Trent Baalke. A guy who has pissed away a loaded roster, and backfilled it with dogshit. Sure, he doesn’t stand alone on the pile of garbage that has become the stink by the Bay. Young Sir Tweetsalot played his part in alienating the previous head coach, and then hiring a fall guy to take his place, further driving guys out. But still and all, the GM is in charge of getting the talent here. Through the draft, and through free agency. And the occasional trade.
We all are familiar with Baalke’s draft record. And we all saw the tremendous haul we got with our cap money. Zane (Meet the) Beadles, and a backup QB who’s name slips my mind. Oh yeah, Huey Lewis. The News isn’t good however.
Anyhow, based on how these last few drafts have gone, I have no idea what Trent has in store for us today in the 1st round. We are in desperate need of O line help, CB help, ILB help, and WR help. Funny thing is, I wrote this exact same fucking thing last year. Trent did NOTHING to address the needs of the team last year, and we paid for it dearly with a crappy line, an inconsistent defense, and a punter we wasted a 5th round draft pick on who turned out to be a vanilla-flavored turd.
Today? No clue. With us out of the QB sweepstakes, and no QBs of note on the horizon for next year’s draft, my hope is that we build up the O line. Namely an OT. Someone to bookend Joe Staley. Fortunately, it looks like we’ll be able to get Ronnie Stanley. The Staley/Stanley show. Laremy Tunsil, the top tackle in the draft, won’t get by Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens. Vernon Hargreaves is also on my radar as a CB who could very well slide right in to the line up.
Unfortunately, there’s an injured guy who looked to be a top pick until recent knee issues popped up. Yes, the undersized part-time RB and feisty ILB Myles Jack. Leave it to Baalke to draft a guy who’s undersized, hurt, and on a gimpy peg. We are thin at ILB, but still, I’ll give up the team if he drafts Jack . . .

Yeah, that sounds about right. Scotty built the team. Trent has been overseeing the dissolution.
He got unlucky with Aldon Smith, amazing talent, amazingly small brain.
Emphasis on “small.”
Wow, Ryan Fitzpatrick would rather sit than sign.

So he says. $8m is way more money than he has made so far and to be honest he looks like a good back up, mediocre starter to me so maybe he squeezes $10m but I don’t see anyone else knocking down his door.
They are gonna stretch this draft out for no reason but advertisers, what a load of crap
yup
Double “yup.”
Trent is pretty damn good. Two QB’s down Tunsil to go. We get one of my top four !!! Goodnight to all !!!
Ozzy probably takes Buckner
1. Goff – Got that one right
2. Wentz – righto
3. Bosa – sure
4. Elliot – he’ll be great since Dallas has a line now.
Jax takes Tunsil.
Omg omg two picks to go. Buckner and Tunsil still left. Omg can we get this lucky !!
Guess not lol

Tunsil goes to Balt tho.

Yup Ozzy won’t pass on Tunsil
If we do, I’m quitting the team.
Omg Tunsil or Buckner !!!
If we don’t build the line, we are dogshit.
Wow! Stanley to Balt. We should take Tunsil.
