Coronamadeggon? If hindsight is 2020, I don’t want to look back. This travesty of a season fit snugly into this tragedy of a year. Too much to even think about, let alone document, so we’ll just let this season go.
Yes, this team has a ton of question marks for the future, but we have our closing game with the Beater against the Seahawks. Little hope for us in this one, but then again, I thought the same thing about last week’s game. Robert Saleh’s defense came up huge time and time again as we thwarted, for the time being, their playoff run.
Today? Of course we will be without Trent Williams and Brandon Ayuk, so there’s that. This one will be driven by the defense, but i don’t think we can hold Russell Wilson down for four quarters.
We will likely be somewhere around 10-12 in the draft after the loss. Is that good enough for a QB? The way the draft is shaking out, Trey Lance may be the only one available. Is he worth it? I’d tend to think we will go CB since we ignored it so badly last year, and it bit us in the ass with all the injuries, but we have a lot of time to work that out.
Forty Niners Forever 
And, I’m not averse to Mac Jones from ‘Bama even though he’s not a mobile guy.
Is he worth the 12th Pick? Hard for me to say, but I love his size and decision making.
Has an arm to go deep and looks to be very accurate.
Give him some protection and I think he’s an NFL caliber QB.
Not to mention I like his Center Landon Dickerson so….why not?
Ready made combo plate 😀
Right now we sit at 12. I would almost put money on it now that we move back for more picks. We have so many needs that unless there’s a guy they can’t pass up we should just go for volume.
All about the slotting and grading process Winder.
Lynch should be getting better at this with time.
He and Shanny have blown more than a few Picks together.
I’ve always had a tough time with WR and QB slots because the bust rate is always high.
We need volume for sure.
As always, I enjoy getting my head into the process to see how they attack it.
I might get into it a little more this year. I do appreciate all the research you do every draft season.
Thanks, it’s an addiction 😀
I lean on Defense over Offense too.
Not sure we can expect Bosa to pick up where he left off, at least until the knee is tested and, isn’t a mental hurdle for him.
Ford was a wasted investment and Hyder might follow Saleh.
Gotta give Nick some additional support either way, via Draft or FA.
I’m gonna go with the higher rated player between DE and CB if I had to turn in a selection right now.
The kid I posted last night from Wake Forest, ‘Boogie Basham’ would be a great option IMO.
He’s likely nowhere close to Pick 12 but not sure at this point if he’s gonna make it beyond RD1.
Looking over the FA list there a few good CBs that could be had as cheaper/younger options to Sherman too.
Assuming he leaves, Cleveland has 2 guys that could fit.
Kevin Johnson and Terrance Mitchell.
We have to consider the cost of keeping K’Waun and Verrett too.
Here’s the final Picks tally as I was able to locate –
Round 1: No. 12 overall
Round 2: No. 43 overall
Round 4: No. 108 overall
Round 5: No. 139 overall
Round 5: No. 157 overall (via Saints) * Kwon Alexander trade
Round 6: No. 170 overall
Round 7: No. 194 overall (via Jets) * Jordan Willis trade
Round 7: No. 204 overall
I read if Salah leaves the 9ers pick up a 3rd as well, so there’s that.
Trask from FL could sneak into RD2? He’s a big kid with plenty of arm talent. Off the radar perhaps?
He’s also listed on the acceptance list for the Senior Bowl –
yeah, we should be drafting a QB every year or at least every other year. I still really like both Nick and CJ but they both have their shortcomings and in this league that won’t get you very far. I like that they are both very tough competitors.
I think both Trask&Jones are second rd picks if the 49ers want to pull the trigger there.Trask probably the better option being there, and frankly he’s as good as Jones anyway imo..
I think a guy like Trask can be developed nicely with a couple years on the bench. At least one anyway.
I’m not sold on Jones.
Saw that we signed former Raider DB Obi Melifonwu –
His Brother is playing in the Senior Bowl – Coincidence?
Ifeatu Melifonwu / 6’3″ – 213
He hasn’t played since 2018, my guess is camp fodder unless he proves himself.
I say keep Jimmy G another year and use the high pick on D Edge or CB. O line is 3rd for me.
Keep Rosen as back up and develop him as insurance for the almost inevitable Jimmy G injury. Rosen was rightfully a high pick who has had a shifty hand dealt to him to start his career.. Draft a qb late round to develop or sign the Beater to a cheap deal.
If we draft a QB, please, PLEASE, he better have more legs/speed than JG, The Beat, and Mullens. In this day and age, unless you are Brady, you HAVE to be able to escape the pocket. Our boys cannot.
