Oh.My.GGGGODDDDD!!!!!!! Can’t tell you how fucked up this all seems. The blathering will stop soon. The only good news on my side was getting rid of cable so I didn’t have to see Mel Kiper’s fucking jet-black helmet head obliterating my consciousness.
Still, the pundits-o’plenty are out in force touting, discounting, prevaricating, dithering, and yammering non-stop about our pick. It seems to be the most interesting one since it is pretty much set in concrete that
The Jags take Lawrence and the Jets take Wilson. This is written on high on whatever it is they write it on in Cleveland, but that leaves us with the trifecta of you know whos.
Irish posted an interesting column from the Athletic that pretty much gave away the secret that any QB with a pulse and a completion percentage over 65% garners overenthusiastic love and accolades from scouts/owners/coaches/GMs that this is the next coming of Joe Montana. Well, nix that, his arm wasn’t big enough. Hence him being a 3rd round pick.
Which leads me to the other albatross in the room that many many of these high QB picks flame out spectacularly. Jared Goff being the latest among the Vince Youngs, Tim Couches, Mitchell Trubiscuits, Carson Wentzes, and Todd Marinovitches.
The NFL landscape is littered with 1st round casualties among the needles in the haystack like Aaron Rodgers (barely a 1st rounder), Patrick Mahomes, Big Ben, Lamar Jackson, Andrew Luck, and Peyton Manning.
So, where does that leave us? Fuck if I know. The consensus is that Jones was the guy they fell in love with from the get-go, but that Trey Lance has narrowed the gap considerably. Fields isn’t even in the discussion. Even so far as to Lance lead the handicappers who bet on this kind of shit. Normally I would hold that in some kind of esteem, but I’m still more that afraid that Shanny set his mind to Jones on March 26th, and hasn’t budged an inch.
I fear a gigantic outburst of angst from the Faithful come that 3rd pick. Haven’t even considered what we do at our 2nd pick. CB/OL, I’d think. I may be too drunk to care by then.
Shock the World at 3.
Draft Pitts 😀
A lot worse picks NJ..
Yeah just run the ball all game with Kittle&Pitts
It would keep Jimmy G healthy!
But that’s just not going to happen,
I’m doing my best Kevin Costner (Sonny) Draft Day moment and despite all the hype and haters the guy who’s going to prove them all wrong will be with my green piece of folded paper that says:Justin Fields No Matter What.. Kyle won’t screw this up Jones was always just smoke and hype,No to Bo Mac Jones Callahan
Niners have a top 10 OL , good run game,great young receivers with YAC abilities, a top 3 TE now with Kittle ( maybe higher if he stays healthy right along Kelce and Waller) they just need the dynamic all purpose QB and ready now with more college starts then Jones and Lance. Lance would be the second choice but he’s just to green when there ready to win it all now.. Fields is also the highest according to PPF rated QB on second read throws with a minimum of 60 attempts at 90.6 Wilson2nd 90.4 Lance 3rd 87.4 Lawrence 7th and Jones 9th..
On KNBR Brent Jones is picking Lance
The blathering will never stop on this assisted living version of a forty whiners blog.
Aaron WANTS to come here. We almost traded for him. Today.
Again, I’ve yet to see a decent explanation as to how any kind of “smokescreen” would benefit the 49ers. Assuming Lawrence goes to the Jags and Wilson goes to the Jets, as close to locks as you can get in this situations, the Niners will have their pick of the remaining QB’s in the draft, whomever that may be. So why a smokescreen?
Why leak that they want Jones, then take Fields or Lance? How could that possibly benefit them? Answer: it can’t. Brace yourself, Kat, for the very real possibility that in about one half hour Mac Jones will be the newest 49er.
LJ..There not taking Jones, they immediately become the laughing stock of the draft.In à agência where everyone’s looking for the next Patrick Mahomes, Jones won’t be that period!!
U have to draft a multi-dynamic QB and that’s either Fields are Lance.
We’ll see! LOL. This shit is crazy.
fuck, this stands to be a travesty. Watch them take Pitts and we trade for Rodgers.
Well, if they’re going to do it, they’d better hurry up.
They can do it with their pick. Throw in Jimmy G as well.
If we pick Jones, all it means is that the entire organization licks Shanny’s balls. Not a good thing. It’s what got his dad in trouble.
FFS, what the hell is taking Jacksonville so long?
I’m sure the NFL said “take your time” Sell more shit, run more ads.
Probably exactly it.
Why does anyone listen to Mel Kiper? The guys acts and talks like he’s a football expert. To hear him talk, you’d think he’d been an NFL coach for years.
He’s a douch nozzle of the highest order. I don’t watch ESPN for that fact.
My fave.
That was funny as hell! And so true about clown 🤡 Kiper!! Who in the hell is Mel Kiper? He’s never ever put on a jockstrap , and he has less knowledge then my postman! Great stuff!!
Pick 1 – Shocking – Trevor Lawrence
They sure milked that one.
That video is hilarious. Tore ol’ Mel a new one.
Jets get the same treatment. Don;t see how they don’t take Zach WIlson.
Then again, they are a pretty stupid organization. Gonna see how they do with Saleh as their HC though. Hopefully they get their shit together a little.
Man, Wilson looks like a high schooler.
10 mins and we will know who the next QB will be a Niner. Everyone who writes or is on an SF radio station is saying it will be M Jones, but they all hope it is Lance
The fact that everyone from the entire 49ers organization to the millions of fans, writers, and broadcasters all want us to take Lance, and if he goes with Jone, he’s gonna regret it.
Pick 2 – Zach Wilson
Here we go, boys!
Oh boy.Here we go
Here we go
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Woo hoo
BOOM!
I have now moved away from the ledge
Boom or bust, fingers crossed its boom.
Wow, they went all in.
Fantastic. Now we can relax
Whooooooooooo boy. If Shanny is truly the quarterback whisperer, then we have a very bright future ahead of us.
