As far as drafts go, this one was all over the map according to the wonks. But like I always say, fuck the wonks. I like the pick. Williams is an edge-setting DE, and that is something this team needs. Williams is young, a bit raw, but very athletic and looks to grow and learn from the get-go. I like the pick as it wasn’t a reach and it fills a big need. For once they went the way I thought they should.
Banks and Membou were both taken, so that made our pick all the more easy. The coulda had a more polished guy like Kenneth Grant, but there are still a lot of DT available at 43. TJ Sanders springs to mind. Would love to get him.
Surprises? Jax throwing the kitchen sink at Cleveland to get Travis Hunter. Cleve now will get Mason Graham and (100% lock) Shadeur Sanders and a boatload of picks. I think Cleveland wins that deal hands-down. Jax is Jax.
Also a bit surprising is the New York Giants trading up to get Jaxon Dart. Sanders fell out of the 1st round, reminiscent of the draft snubbing of Aaron Rodgers all those years ago, but hey, it would be a trip to see Sanders go to the Raiders if Cleve doesn’t take him with their 33rd or 36th pick. I hope he goes to Oakland, uh Vegas. They’d be fun as shit with Jeanty, Sanders, and Bowers.
Also a bit stunning is the two Super Bowl foes a) made a trade, and b) got huge bang for their bucks with their picks. The Iggles traded up one slot to get the baddest LB in the group, Jihaad Campbell, and KC filled a position of need, getting OT Josh Simmons. Simmons is a rick coming off patellar tendon surgery, but if he works out, he’s a steal.
Day 2 approaches. Scourton’s off my board since we got Williams. TJ is who I’d like. Not many OTs anymore, but I wonder if we may take a flyer on a guy like LB Carson Schwesinger. Lots of CBs available as well, including (!) Will Johnson, Trey Amos, Shavon Revel, Azareye’h Thomas, and Benjamin Morrison.

CB ..Upton Stout Western Kentucky
Yeah the knock on him will be his height 5’8 181 lbs but look what this frame did at the combines…4.44 forty ,Vertical Jump 37.5,1.51 10 yard split,10.8 Broad jump but the kicker is he Topped all DB’s at the combine with 21 bench reps at 225.. So yeah he puts the work in on his body, and he’s a seek heating middle like Martin! Even told Lynch on the phone “I’m pissed for greatness” and kept repeating “Let’s GO,Let’s GO ..Lynch said it was the best call he’s ever made hands down!!
Thanks, guys. Been fun hanging here with y’all over the years. Saw my first post was Sept 8, 2011!!!
Saw the 140 tackles for Martin. That gives me hope. Stout has a great name anyway. Sounds like a hitter.
we needed that trade or two yesterday. We need quality starters. Are totally unprepared to handle TW out of game.
Relying on backups Bartch, Zakelj, Hennessy to cover the intentionally bottom-bitched Oline to prevent our soon $50+ million franchise QB from being seriously injured. The last of the publicly mentioned OT worth a chance was gone at #99, Charles Grant.
We traded up for noone. 3-tech DT Darius Alexander and LT to be Grant were badly needed.
How come Shanalynch still have a job. Where is Jed York. Dream on but a lot of day 3 are backups. Hopefully we got three quality week 1 starters out of this draft.
Jesus. Your guy didn’t get picked so the sky is falling.
New thread is up.
I’m looking at OT/Guard Marcus Mbow Purdue 6’5 300 lib could move right into LG but also Tackle fill in.
CJ West
I had a feeling we weren’t done on the Dline.
Are they only going to pick defense players?
I can’t image they think their Oline is set. That would be foolish
300 lbs and you expect him to anchor
He is a project, listed at 316lbs. They will probably beef him up.
At this point very few will be able to step right in and play especially on the Oline. Hopefully they have their players in line.
At least we are in the 5th rd and hopefully we can find another gem.
So this draft was all about the D, according to Niners Nation, Kyle/Lynch have never made the Oline a priority in the draft. I hope Brock is not running for his life on 3rd and long
Walsh drafted undersized linemen that could pass/run block. Granted players have gotten bigger and faster but you’re going to tell me you can find players who can do both. Oh that’s right we are talking about the Niners that prefer to run and only pass when necessary. So they look only for players that can run block. This has been the case way before Kyle/Lynch era. Think Alex Smith. Good strategy!!
