Well, at least bore the shit out of them. As hard as Jolly Roger wants to keep football in the mind’s eye 24/7/365, now is the time for nothing. Mel Kiper’s head hasn’t even been exhumed and attached to a Disney automatron president and propped in front of a desk at ESPN headquarters.
Sure, we can keep up the QWillimas/Bosa/Sweat/Josh Allen talk, because that is what we got now. We WILL get a pass rusher with our first pick. It just depends on where that pick is. We do have a thin batch of picks this draft, and that kinda sucks. One thing Baalke was able to do was round up a lot of picks. Sure, he fucked them all sideways, but we stand here with 6 picks instead of the bounty we have been used to.
So, trading out is high on the list of to-do’s for John Lynch. If we can trade down and still get our guy (likely Sweat or Allen) then more power to them. This of course is predicated on the Giants and Raiders needing to deal with us or AZ.
If you believe the hype, AZ is all about Murray. Going so far as to floating Josh Rosen for a 1st round pick. Seeing as that is a complete non-starter, the whole thing may be just a smokescreen to draw the Giants into a desperate trade to get Kyler.
As it is for me, I’d like to see us grab:
- Pass rusher/edge guy
- WR
- Safety
- TE
- O line
- CB
If we can finagle picks out of NYG or Oak, go for it.

Yeah, the NFL sure does stretch this crap out. I imagine someone must like all this ‘suspense’ but not me. You always have your die-hard-drunk Jets fans at the draft no matter where it’s held plus every armchair GM that thinks they know something no one else does. They probably like the wait but who knows, we are all at the mercy of the mighty NFL
Very insightful, Chuck!!
Thanks, skippy. Hey my list might change. I’d beg out of the TE at 3 if there’s something better available (CB). It’s called adapting with a moving target.
I must say I never got anything close when Baalke was drafting, but I feel like these guys are more in tune with reality instead of by-the-book BPA. Not that that means I’m gonna get this right, but it makes me feel like they will.
I never got it right with Baalky either. I guess i got it when Buckner fell to us but that was just luck that he lasted so long.
If its not an april fools gag the Niners have traded for Julio Jones
And yes its an April Fools joke…
Didn’t see that one.
Don’t even joke about that! That’s my worst nightmare, being stuck playing in an ex-junkyard next to Great America
What has Julio won with the Falcons, skippy? Zip. Zilch. nada. He’s won as much as you at the race track. You done mucking the stalls at GGF?
Keep sending them up, and I’ll keep shooting them down, dingleberry.
Too bad about the AAF. Spurrier and Sing had a good team.
Really? Was the football decent? Didn’t know the teams, the times, or where they played.
Poor NoFear has no football to watch now. Ba ha ha . . .
The Orlando Apollos had a horrible name, but they played solid well-coached minor league football. It’s really hard, though, to put truly exciting football for the modern fan on the field with NFL castoffs at QB.
Charlie Ebersol? He must be the kid of Dick Ebersol, the NBC TV guy. Bill Polian of course we all know. Huh.
Yeah, the NFL has college as the feeder for players. There isn’t enough elite talent to support more teams let alone an entire league.
Around the Bay area, I sure didn’t hear anything about the league.
I thought it was a pretty good idea if for nothing else maybe some players could bounce back. But without people in the seats, and TV money it was bound to crap out.
Then…there’s this –

Wow. That’s fucked up. Makes the guys running the show look like fools.
Funny thing is, my wife does temporary housing. Mainly corporate, but she’s put up Gregor Blanco, Hunter Strickland, Brandon Crawford, a couple A’s, and a couple Raiders including Malcolm Smith, over the years. Got to meet Blanco a few years ago.
Got to see (and put on) his WS ring.
The AFL had Joe Namath.
The USFL had Herschel Walker and Steve Young.
The AAF had Johnny Manziel.
‘Nuff said
Johnny $$$ couldn’t even cut it in the CFL.
The team I fell in love with was Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green. They were champions then defeated.
Teams adjusted and they added Kevin Durant. They were champions twice more, but I couldn’t love the KD team as much.
Then they added Boogie Cousins, 5 All-Star lineup. Losing, fight between KD and Draymond, KD leaving?, Steph looked like he wanted to be anywhere else, Boogie sucked. They brought back Andrew Bogut from their first championship team.
It’s April, playoff time. Livingston and Iggy have 3 rings each to show they’ve been there and are there. The Warriors are a sleeping giant just now waking up. They look like your sister growing up when she’s having a real, real bad day. Run. Run fast. This team is fucking great.
After a season of malaise and some incredibly bad losses they are rounding out nicely.
Heard Kerr the other day say, yeah, these guys didn’t lose like this 3 years ago. They are getting older. Sustaining te excellence they have been at for 4 years and a thousand playoff games is tough. There are games that they just are out of gas.
Ahhh good times.
Thing is, I think maybe 3 of those plays were designed runs.
Nice, I kinda forget how quick he was. He made some of those runs look easy and you know every defender was out to get him.
Yeah, pretty amazing that in all those runs he never really got clocked. And yeah, you know guys out there wanted to lay him out.
I would go with Bosa for our first pick. Juan Thornhill with the 2nd.
If Bosa is there at 2 I think we take him. I don’t see anyone giving us a deal that we can’t refuse.
If Bosa is gone, trade back if possible and hope for Sweat.
yeah, that would probably be the best thing we could do. But, our love for inside Dline just might shine through and we take Williams.
The raiders don’t want to deal with us
Gonna turn in my work for the OL as 1 bunch this year. Not seeing a need for OT this time around.
Thinking G/C for the most part….Pipkins could be a late RD/UDFA option as a swing tackle?

Sweat’s 4.41 is pretty insane. We could trade with the Giants and get him pretty easily. I’m with y’all though. It would be hard to pass up Bosa/Williams if there.
Qnd I could see us taking a flier on a center with our 5th (6th) pick, or UDFA one.
Teams are really gonna have to do their homework on Sweat’s heart condition. But he does have some great Numbers and shouldn’t last too long.
