Well, we traded down twice out of the 1st round, swapped a 4th for a 3rd and gained a 6th round pick. But there are still a lot of good players available.
My son thinks we are going with Boston. I think we go with Howell. Could still go O line with Chase Bisontis. Safety with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren or Treden Stukes. Reading the Chron this morning they referenced the Niners 1986 draft.
No 1st round pick but they nailed it. Wow. A few small-school guys thrown in the mix.
Round 2, Pick 39: Larry Roberts, DE (Alabama)
Round 3, Pick 56: Tom Rathman, FB (Nebraska)
Round 3, Pick 64: Tim McKyer, DB (Texas-Arlington)
Round 3, Pick 76: John Taylor, WR (Delaware State)
Round 4, Pick 96: Charles Haley, DE (James Madison)
Round 4, Pick 101: Steve Wallace, OT (Auburn)
Round 4, Pick 102: Kevin Fagan, DE (Miami)
Round 5, Pick 131: Pat Miller, LB (Florida)
Round 6, Pick 162: Don Griffin, DB (Middle Tennessee State)
No wonder they called Walsh a genius. This is one of the best drafts in NFL history.
Forty Niners Forever 
Cruising in with another OT that should stay at OT with Enrique Cruz Jr Kansas 6’5 315 lbs long arms for a tackle and a stat Brock Purdy would love 0 sacks allowed in 660 offensive snaps!
Actually he’s 6’6 325 lbs that ran a 4.94 forty most impressive 96% in OL class
he can compete at OG as well
from the Lynch transcript on Cruz:
We did more work and got to a point where we think he’s a tackle. We think he may have guard flex, but we’re excited to add him to the to the offensive line group to add some competition.”
I just rely on the fact that the Niners know a lot more than I do. hope it turns out to be a great draft.
I didn’t recognize one name we called.
Just read where Kiper said we were the only losers in the draft. Now I know we did ok.
there you go. A golden seal of approval.
thanks for the bday wishes.
here in Carmel with my wife and my dog.
Nice.
Happy Birthday Chuck, I hope the Mrs spoiled you!
Happy Birthday Unca! And a Giants win today!
Happy Birthday Unca!

WOW!!! Lynch nailed it.
Develop asap. Carter Willis center. Enrique Cruz LG. Cruz same height & weight as Puni.
Oops Puni 6’3″ It does not get any better than this. Can he slide over when TW retires
Sounds like “wheat separated from chaff” as the bible saying goes. You’re right bakkenton, per this article, it looks like the Niners have found a potentially good offensive lineman (LG) to develop.
Next to day 3 of the draft today is my second fav. It’s UDFA day and i guess maybe tomorrow to but I don’t think we are going to pick up more than 8.
For me that was just an OK draft, a few reach players IMO and I don’t see any diamonds in the rough after looking at their highlight reels. I will be overjoyed to be wrong.
I do think its time to shake up the evaluation and player choice process. Lynch is big into his “consensus” in the room, pick by committee approach. The problem with that is a horse if designed by committee becomes a camel.
I feel like the coach has too much say. As in another first pick WR to study for a year from the bench although since Shanahan regards a WR blocking skills above the typical prized traits of a WR he may actually see the field as a defacto run blocker.
A RB in the 3rd, again, but this time its a guy not regarded highly enough to even get a combine invite. Taken as the 3rd RB off the board. They are 0 and 3 at this and staring 0 and 4 in the face.
The team badly needs some impact players and good GM’s find them year after year and even an occasional poor draft year doesn’t kill the team building momentum, but what does is year after year poor drafting and that has been the Niners. I just don’t see 4 players in this draft that are impact guys.
Again, I hope I am wrong.
my gut reaction was the ranking of the #33 should have been 10 to 15 picks.later and how many 2nd or 3rd would we have gotten. That void between #33 and #70 hurt especially since EMW and Pregnon were both there.
Niners have good contacts at Washington to know about the WR but they still screwed it up.
For me this draft was salvaged by Willis and Cruz. Don’t dick around and you’ve got C and LG starters in 2027 and maybe a TW successor .
Willis is 10 lbs lighter for guard. Both is only 300 lbs and too tall for C.
fucking spell check Toth not both
Hopefully they’ve done something to address both lines, but we’ll see. As for WR, look who they’ve lost in short time–Deebo Aiyuk Jennings for start, plus Kittle the rock missed bunch of time.
Always going to be challenge to navigate what shanny wants v. overall needs to remain competitive in very Tough Division. Ultimately up to coaching staff to do what they can with who they have.
As for Giants, Schmitt happens and bottom 5 in lineup did most of damage yesterday to help bail out top guys not named Arraez, who has been revelation.
Years ago when I was playing co ed softball one team in our league named themselves Shit Happens. We thrashed them and in hand shake line I complimented coach and he said, “Yeah well sometimes shit happens to us.”
I don’t hate this draft, but I sure don’t love it. The WR at 33 looks like a stud. Good hands, fast, best blocking WR in draft. Can play H-back. Is not good at winning 50-50 balls.
This guy was probably on more team’s radars than the experts thought. I thought we could’ve got him later. Of course, can’t be sure of that. I do like the player and we do have him.
Height fills an important need. Situational pass rusher.
The RB was a head scratcher this early, but he does run people over. We need one of those.
I really like the Enrique Cruz pick.
All in all, we will just have to wait and see. I remember not liking the 1986 draft at the time. I was happy to be very wrong about that one.
Berger the first thing I thought when I saw our new RB’s picture was that he looked like Frank Gore. I think about the same size and weight I believe. So if he is even 1/4 as good as Gore then he’s a steal.
I also think that a lot of the RB love comes from Bobby Turner and I think he holds a lot of sway in all our RB picks.
Casey at the bat for a 3Run Homer! 6-3 Giants!
Lee 4-4 on fire 🔥
yeah baby!!
BOOM!
nice come-from-behind W for the Gmen to take the series. Need a few more like this.
Outstanding win and Roupp was terrific lasting almost 8 innings.
Gotta love Roupp.
I refuse to post Led Zepplin videos.
Huh? Why Unca?
I’m joking. Sort of. Just got tired of the hype. Everyone listened to them and I just got tired of hearing most of the overdriven teenybopper whole lotta love type songs. Plus they ripped off a lot of old blues guys by changing names and lyrics. Like the Lemon song is Killing Floor. Whole lotta love. Howlin’ Wolf sued and Zep settled out of court. Whole lotta love was an old Willie Dixon song. Dazed and Confused, jimmy page stole from a Yardbird opening act, Jake Homes.
On and on they ripped off tons of bands and musicians.
I do like Physical Graffiti because the only song from that that got any airplay was Kashmir. That, and Achilles Last Stand I can listen to. Presence is OK.
Led Zep weren’t “The Lone Rangers.” Lots of other rock bands ripped off Blues songs, albeit, you’re right Led Zep was the most publicized of the bands that did it.
There’s stealing riffs and there’s stealing written songs.
It just kinda pissed me off that Zep was so cavalier about stealing money from the blues guys they were ripping off. Guys who were struggling
The Stones would bring guys like Buddy Guy, BB King, John Lee Hooker, and others on tour with them to help them out.
Zep settled like 10 lawsuits out of court.
They also ripped off Gallows pole . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye2N_2ce3QE
Dude is dealing. A Farhan special. 12th rounder.
Hmmm, that opening riff sounds familiar.
chuck I can’t put any music videos with the picture anymore. When I hit the’/’ in the responce box no nothing drops down. I must have screwed something up. So I guess from now on all I can do is music from a url
Never mind I found another way
OL Willis has mentioned learning OC twice since being drafted, and I think there is a clue in there? (1st paragraph of the Standard clip).
looks like he’s still doing it
Do love that Leadbelly version.
