Not much to say about the draft. Not with the Jimmy/Deebo saga playing out. But it appears as it is going according to the clock, not to the Twitterverse. The Panthers will make a deal in mid-June for Jimmy G. The 49ers brain (fry) trust will sign Deebo to a 3 year $75 mill ($40 mill guaranteed) deal in late June.
Day 2 of the draft see us with one 2nd round pick (61) and two 3rd round picks (93 and 105).
What do we need? A CORNERBACK!!!!!!

Not listed is Andrew Booth, Clemson; 6′ 0″, 195, 4.5 40.
Mental toughness issues along with double-hernia surgery early 2022. Projected as a late 1st-early 2mr rounder, he’s still available. Could even drop to 61.
Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington: 6′ 0″, 200, 4.52 40.
Another prospected laste 1st-early 2nd rounder. No picks, but a lot of defensed passes.
Roger McCreary, CS Auburn: 5′ 11″, 189, 4.5 40
Possible nickel corner due to smaller size but great at going after the ball. 6 picks in 35 games
 Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State Height: 6-2. Weight: 200 Official 40 Time: 4.53.
Like the size on this guy, but only one pick in college. If coachable, he could be a steal.
The next two picks? DE and Center.
Let’s do it!
6′ 2″, 4.3 speed? I’d say he’s an outside guy.
Yeah.
I used to be thoroughly baffled by Baalke’s drafts. This one has me scratching my head a bit.
CB and O line seemed to be the biggest needs and we ignored both.
6 picks to go. And there’s a lot of offseason left. Not quite ready to write this draft off.
JC Tretter has been saved as our FA on may 2. So maybe we can overlook C.
Despite this avoidance of trade downs NIck Cross was there as a starter week 1. A Taart with much better coverage. The one pick out of this abysmal draft that handed us a long term quality starter .
Moseley can handle nickel. WTF
They certainly don’t seem to draft the way one might expect. Either they’re really comfortable with Banks, Brunskill and Moore, or an OL pick is forthcoming, albeit a later round one. As for secondary, they must not see it as a priority with the Ward signing and the two guys they got last year.
There gonna bring in a bunch of UDFA’s also and usually a few of those make the PS and sometimes start.
Looking back at day 2 seems confident of Banks handling LG and Moore competing and eventually starting at RG this season. C is Tretter or Mack. If Mack stays this season Tretter will be his backup. FO does not have an urgency with IOL so the 2 rookies last year can be starters.
Comfortable with S so maybe Tyrann Mathieu is the Taart successor, announced after the draft.
Mosely nickel and C Ward and Ambry Thomas the outside corners.
This draft is for depth. #61 developed and starter opposite Bosa next year. #93 in RB rotation. #105 is 3rd down wr to stretch the field. 4th to 7th are depth picks. Only #61 was picked as starter capable, for next year at that.
They have vet FA’s lined up and announced after draft is my guess.
Yeah, but that shit is risky. Cross looks to be a bona fide star, but they are rolling with Hufanga. Can’t say that’s a terrible plan, but Ward is fairly frageeel. Corner is still my worry over safety.
Analysts panned the #93 RB pick. A reach, too early. Adam Peter’s is still with us. How could the draft team come to a consensus on this. Nick Cross fell to us, a surefire upgrade to Taart. Does this draft team have s drinking problem.
This was a glaringly horrendous pick.
Shanny loves RB’s and must see something in this guy.
They must have some kind of confidence that Mack is coming back so there’s that, but still we need depoth on the o line.
Love that song.
This is the day we usually find some gems. I hope that continues.
New thread is up.
