And the speculation continues. . . . So far our 1st pick in the 1st round will be: Mitch Biscuit, DeShone (Walking Dead) Kizer, DeShaun Watson, Salomon Thomas, Myles Garrett (dream), Jonathan Allen, Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker, Mike Williams, Marshon Lattimore, Corey Davis, and even Leonard Fournette. Stop me if you’ve heard others.
The only guy who hasn’t been slotted to us (that I’ve seen anyway) is Marlon Humphrey. Seeing as we lost the likely-to-be-looking-for-work-anyway-till-he-got-arrested-and sealed-the-deal CB Tremaine Brock, and are looking to move Jimmie Ward to FS, this just might be the call.
Then again, we’ve drafted a bunch of CBs in these past few years. ACL guys and non-ACL guys. 4th rounder Rashard Robinson, showed a lot of moxie his rookie season, and looks to be in the mix as a starter. 3rd rounder Will Redmond, the last of Trent Baalke’s ACL guys (“I guarantee he’ll be ready for the 2016 season!”) is healed up but it’s hard to know what they have with him. He’s got tape out there on him moving very well on his repaired knee. K’Waun Williams, this new front office’s first move, is an intriguing candidate as well. He seemed to know his injury better than the doctors at the Factory of Sadness, sat himself down, got his injury confirmed, and sued Cleveland for incompetence or some shit.
Then there’s Prince Charles Iworah . . . He played a little last year after being cut, signed to the practice squad, and promoted to the team late in the season.
So, shit. We probably don’t go CB. We’d go safety before CB I’d think. Tartt is a solid starter. But after that it gets thin. Bethea is gone, Reid is a question mark after all his concussions, and Ball & Sunseri are backups at best. Ward should be a solid addition to the mix, but depth is a concern at this point. Hooker has had a stellar college career, but two surgeries. One on a torn labrum and one on a hernia. He played through the injuries, and played well, so this likely doesn’t hurt Makik the Freak.
I’d love to trade out of the 2nd pick, but I don’t hear enough clamor for anyone to want to jump to the 2. I mean, if there was a top-tier QB among the chaff someone might make the jump. Cleveland could even trade up to try and get Garrett AND Trubisky with the one and 2. Maybe they’ll settle for waiting at 12 because he could still be there, but that’s a risk. For them.

Didn’t see your post of the Schefter tweet til now, Flav. Ya beat me by 20!hours. Doh!
If Cleveland passes on Garrett I will be ecstatic.
So will my eldest Son – He’ll be doing cartwheels if Garrett lands in our lap.
The Trubisky haters aren’t going to like this:
SANTA CLARA – The latest pre-draft buzz is the Cleveland Browns are considering North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky with the No. 1 overall pick.
With the NFL draft looming two weeks away, 49ers general manager John Lynch said the debate of Trubisky for Texas A&M pass-rusher Myles Garrett, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, makes sense to him. But he also realizes it’s that time of the year when it it difficult to separate information from misinformation
“We’ve looked at it from every angle, and from the beginning, I thought that maybe the perception that this isn’t areal strong quarterback class, I think that’s in the eyes of the beholder,” Lynch said. “We have our own feelings. There’s a lot that we like.
tru dat
FWIW, Vegas has jumped on the Trubisky gravytrain.

That would be the Trubiscuits and gravy train.
Good pre-draft song
If Trubiscuit goes no 1 I’ll be the happiest guy on Earth. And like I said, I guarantee you we don’t take him if Cleve takes Garrett. IMO, we SHOULD be making noise about picking him to generate interest in a trade partner. Namely Cleveland. We can trade back to 12, get some more picks and get Corey Davis. If we don’t get any takers, so be it.
I see your smoke and mirrors and raise you a 13 month old baby that broke the looking glass . . .
One of Stevie’s best
QB’s are sometimes fool’s gold in the draft. They look and sound so good. They practice well and say all the right things……..except they can’t play in the NFL. Get a pass rusher and forget the QB.
So they’re taking off the tarps in Oakland? How many of you are turned on by sitting in the nose bleed seats at Oakland? Anyone an A’s fan and willing to admit it?
fuck oakland
omg now we lose our #2 CB and let our best QB walk . somebody shoot me
Bang! Oops……I didn’t mean to shoot him officer, it just happened that way!
and to think I could have been a Patriots fan
OK so we need a QB, WR, CB and pass rusher . Not to mention …
anyone else thinking trade down ? Maybe Cleveland ?
Did you read my post, ROB?!?
When did you realize all this ROB?!? Old news!!
Yeah, I’m thinking Cleve could be a trade partner if we make noise about wanting Falsebisky.
Also, John Lynch unfurled the welcome matt to 49er alums and Steve Young took him up on it. At least it means we are ackowledging the past.
said Lynch:
Anyone miss Baalke? We all had rage ……..united by a common purpose. RAGE!
about fukking time
Wow. Saw Trubiscuit on John Gruden’s football qb show, whatever it is, and Trubisky comes off like a total dumbshit. For all you guys riding his dick, you should be worried.
13 starts against some weak-ass college programs is no way to judge a QB. Especially as a 1st pick in the draft. He has a loooong learning curve ahead of him.
Yes it’s too early but heck I’m an idiot fan so what the hell…….Giants sure suck. Can’t even win with BUM. He should just ride around on a horse…….that would be more entertaining.
They extend this draft bullshit for way to long, especially for just 7 rds. They should go back to the 15 rds and do it in February. Since they say there is no real time off for the players I am pretty sure we would see a better product if they could get more practice time. Anyway, once again I am sick of wading through all the crap that is out there wondering just what we might do.
Yeah it’s getting so boring around here that we don’t even manage to throw a few insults at the “other” blog anymore. No energy in this offseason. Perhaps a trade for something would help. Now fewer trades are happening as teams just settle for their picks. Perhaps at the last moment a blockbuster will fall from the skies.
