Be still my beating heart. So, the weekend draftapalooza begins at 5:00 pm sharp PT. Which means I’ll be stuck on a Bart train underneath the icy waters of San Francisco Bay. The pisser is, for that stretch of the route, internet coverage is gone, so I’ll prolly miss a few. Actually, I might be in a bar, but I digress.

Still think Tremaine Edmunds is the guy. After that, I got nothing.
Forty Niners Forever 
i’m fine with this pick. Not exciting but a need. I’m a little surprised they didn’t trade with AZ, they could have still gotten him I think. Whatever, gotta protect the QB
no idea….
Absolutely a need as long as he’s a talent worthy of a #9 pick. I didn’t read anything prior to the draft linking him to the Niners.
The Bucs are going to have a hell of a defensive line with McCoy and Vea in the mix.
Staley, McGlinchey, Richburg Garnett, Brown
I thought McGlinchey was a tackle. Seems kind of light for a guard.
He is a tackle LJ.. A Left Tackle
Big boy at 6’8 308lbs
McGlinchey some say would be a better fit at RT which is Trent Brown’s position so that will be interesting in trading camp, theirs talk about Brown’s work ethics being under par and he will be in a contract year coming up I believe? So he better step it upGood pick I’m warming up to it Jimmy G needs to be protected better this pick will help..
He played both LT and RT at ND, just not guard. I was just commenting on Rob’s post, which looks to have McGlinchey at one of the guard spots.
Some of those Brown’s fans didn’t look too happy when Mayfield’s name was announced.
all they do is make bad decisions so you have to think, just based on their track record, that Mayfield isn’t going to pan out. At least not as a super star. How many QBs his height turn into super stars? Total reach with the first pick in the draft.
I thought for sure they would go Allen
Da’ron Payne to washington
Trent Brown hasn’t been offered a contract yet by the NIners so you have to think the writing is now on the wall for that dude.
We have needs all over the place but I guess rebuilding our OL is a good start. They must really like this kid to have spent the #9 on him
Best OT in the draft !
Anyway, my record of not getting it right still stands. So it probably is a good pick.
Edmonds to the Bills
One of the draft “experts” on NFL channel predicted the Niners would pick McGlinchey but for the life of me I can’t remember the mock draft expert.
I saw that too.
I really like the McGlinchey pick!!! He was on my list last night. I thought we would trade back with AZ but when I saw what the Raiders got I knew why we did not trade with them.
I’m wondering now if the Bears got back at us from last year.By taking Rogan Smith who the 49ers liked too along with the Raiders who traded out of their spot after he was gone..
I like are pick and obviously Edmunds wasn’t the fit the 49er wanted so be it and hop on the OT Train 🚂
The Raiders wanted McGlinchey. That’s why they traded down.
All I know is ai heard this morning that the Raiders were very high on McGlinchey and he would have been drafted by them. No way he would have been there in a trade. This was made more apparent with the Raiders taking a tackle anyway at 15.
Edmunds fell to 16. Huh.
I just wonder if AZ came to us or a trade, but seeing as we are in the same division I’m sure they were leery of it.
I’m glad we didn’t get Roquan. He’s not going to work out.
Flav, Scotty McCloughan is on the Browns now. He’s been nothing but money for the most part. My eye test on Mayfield is busteroonie, but Ward is a solid pick. A little surprised he went so high but he’s a player. I liked him for us.
Scotty will be back on the bottle if Mayfield flames 🔥 out!
4 QBs in the top 10 and they all are risks. I told ya these teams were desperate.
Hey, I; m late to the party. I’ll just keep firing of posts . . .
