. . . and let’s not kid ourselves. This is right up there with the most important draft in the Shanalynch era. The team has shed talent and contracts like I shed brain cells at 5:00 PM. It’s survival of the fittest brain cells in my head. Stragglers succumb to the ocean of beer I subject them to.
Anyhow, we all know the big names on the O line and D line that look to be our savior. You have OT Will Campbell, OT Armand Membou, DT Mason Graham, DE Shemar Stewart, DT Ken Grant, OT Kelvin Banks, OG Tyler Booker, DE Mykel Williams, and OT Josh Simmons.
Yeah, there are safeties, a couple CBs and LBs scattered among the top guys, but for us I’m thinking we get one of those guys.
And NO I don’t want to see us draft TE Tyler Warren, but given the fact I think that Shanahan is about 99% in control of day one, we pick the TE.
Shoot me now.
They NEVER get who i think they should. The only time they got who I thought they should have was Nick Bosa. Well, I was all for the Trey Lance deal, but there were alot of people on the wrong side of that shit. Sub out Lance for Jones, and no trade, and we have 2 more 1st round picks.
I don’t know. These guys scare me with their seemingly wild-hair-up-the-ass picks like Ricky Pearsall.
Forty Niners Forever 
I think it would be wonderful if the nfl went back to the 15 to 20 draft picks each year. that way you get a chance to pick some of those UDFA’s before they could sign with another team. Don’t think we would have a practice squad any longer but I think we would have more of the players we wanted. I don’t know why they stopped that to begin with. My guess is it has to do with money.
Adding games should at least allow roster expansion.
Bingo. And yeah the 18 game season is coming. I foresee getting rid of preseason games and 18 reg. season games soon.
