Not gonna lie, a trio of Evans, Pearsall and Cooper would be absolutely filthy.

Starting to lean this way. Just completely shore up the WR corps

I am not against it, but if they still have you and me pass protecting for Purdy it isn't going to matter. I would then want the next 5 picks to be all trenches tbh. (and we still need a FS)

In your scenario if all trenches after WR in the 1st...

#27. Omar Cooper Jr WR (WR room fixed)
#75-80. Gabe Jacas EDGE (trade back to #75-80 for a 2027 3rd/4th)
#127. Landon Robinson / Zane Durant / Chris McClellan DT (whoever is still there)
#133. Tristan Leigh OT (will replace McKivitz in Year 2 and has excellent upside to the point might be able to trade McKivitz for a late 2027 draft pick 5th/6th rd)
#138. Jalen Farmer / Fa'alili Fa'amoe G
#139. Dallen Bentley / Sam Roush TE (counts as trenches since they are excellent blockers in addition to catching the ball)

Then after the draft send a 2027 3rd to ATL for Jessie Bates III to start at FS.

If Shanalynch LOVED Cooper Jr the way they loved Deebo (and Aiyuk for that matter) - then fine even though I prefer no trade up in the 1st as want to use that ammo to trade up in the 2nd if an early 2nd round guy that we love falls to 50-52ish OR trading up from 127 into the late 3rd using a 2027 4th.

But if trading up for Cooper Jr wait until #24 and would cost a 2027 4th and 7th round pick to move up three spots to grab him. If he goes before #24 it wasn't meant to be and Concepcion easily could just be there at #27 no trade ups needed. Plus say Cooper Jr was our guy not KC well some teams behind us may be super keen on Concepcion and want to trade up 3-8 spots to select him which would give us at minimum value equivalent to the 3rd we gave up for Osa.

If we love both guys just draft Concepcion at #27... if Mesidor is not there lol

Smartest longer term play would be to just take Iheanachor at #27 but eff it I want Cooper Jr or Mesidor if one of them is there.

No trade up. Let the board come to them.

No trade backs, either. They've proven time and time again that they're not smarter than everyone else. Take BPA that's right in front of you.

If Kenyon Sadiq makes it to the Lions at pick #17 ... I'm at least making the phone call. Cost to move up would be a 2027 2nd and 2027 4th (or pick #127 this year).

If we wanted to be super aggressive I would not be upset over that move.

#17. Kenyon Sadiq TE (absolute freak beast ... blocks as good as Kittle too ... Brock would utilize this dude to torch SEA's D... their biggest weakness last year was defense vs TEs. Imagine Kittle AND Kenyon on the line together vs SEA both fast and can block like tackles on help open huge holes for CMC ...)
#58. Malachi Lawrence / Cashius Howell / Zion Young / Gabe Jacas EDGE (any will do)
#127. Kendrick Law WR (is a good blocker as a bonus .. more explosives for CMC with Sadiq/Kittle/Evans/Law blocking downfield)
#133. Bud Clark S
#138. Jalen Farmer G
#139. Kaleb Elarms-Orr LB (BPA pick and a heat-seeking 4.47 speed missile... Dre 2.0. From scouting report: "In his final season, Elarms-Orr amassed 130 tackles, 11 TFLs, four sacks, and two pass deflections. His 85.7 PFSN LB Impact score was fourth-highest in the FBS, and per TruMedia, he logged a sub-10% missed tackle rate, while also eclipsing a 20% pressure rate on pass-rushing snaps. At 6'2", 234 pounds, Elarms-Orr has good size and lean mass, to package with blistering 4.47 speed and full-field range. On top of his explosive athleticism and long speed, Elarms-Orr also brings excellent baseline urgency and physicality, as well as power at contact crashing into gaps. He can be over-aggressive on misdirections at times, and his processing and reactions can be a tick faster overall, but he has improved that part of his game since 2023. He checks the boxes as a gap attacker, he's an ultra-competent blitz threat with impressive pass-rush efficiency, and he's shown he can play square to targets in zone coverage. Best in downhill response, run-and-chase, and blitz roles, but possessing measured appeal on passing downs, Elarms-Orr has quality starter potential and is a quality rotational presence on day one." Sounds like Dre Greenlaw to me with maybe even more upside .. )

Oh ... and if AJ Haulcy fell to #58 I'm taking him and getting my EDGE in the 4th (Keyron Crawford/Max LLewellyn) assuming we sign Joey Bosa.

SF should NOT be giving away high draft picks in 2027.

What TE in next year's draft or the year after or the year after is as good as Kenyon Sadiq in terms of upside, 4.39 speed, athleticism, mauler blocker, etc etc.

This guy (to me) is worth giving up a 2027 2nd. DET prob want our #127 thrown into the deal instead of a 2027 4th so we're only giving up one pick in 2027.

And we are GETTING a legit superstar potential TE that CAN BLOCK just as good as Kittle. Go to his thread and watch this guy on the videos posted.

Trade Renardo Green after the season for a 2027 3rd and can recoup a pick back that is just one round lower than the 2nd we gave up. Plus if we're good this year that 2nd should be a pick between #55-64. Im willing to part with that to get Sadiq RIGHT NOW and help us this year beat Seattle as their biggest weakness is defending TEs. Good luck to them defending Kittle and Sadiq on the field at the same time.

This helps our pass game AND running game as we could not run vs Seattle. Draft Rutledge at #58 a run game mauler road grader at LG starting right away next to Trent and imagine a left side of Sadiq - T Williams - Rutledge all right next to each other and Mike Evans blocking downfield and Puni pulling to the left and Juice as well.. we are going to get a lot more explosive runs from CMC and have a fighting chance to get SEA out of their vaunted cover 2 shell where they make it difficult to get explosive plays in the passing game.

Brock will assault teams with Sadiq, Kittle, Evans, and Pearsall all on the field at the same time.

The more I defend this move and think about it the more I think we should do it if Kenyon is on the board at #17. Does not work even at #16 and becomes too costly so I wouldn't even pick up the phone unless he is there when DET is on the clock. DET could say no too to take Sadiq for themselves - but they already have LaPorta so if Sadiq is not their guy maybe they would do the trade.

Did you know that the Niners tried unsuccessfully to trade up to get Mykel Williams? Glad we weren't successful!

Yup, and that didn't surprise me at all to learn. The 49ers are terrible at letting the board come to them.

Which means we're gonna waste draft capital and trade up in the 1st for a guy that easily could have been there until #27...

Sigh.

Stop falling in love with players unless going to fall in love with a handful of them so you can be comfortable with any one of those guys which prevents dumb trade ups and allows the board to come to them.

If you trade up it needs to be for someone elite a top #15 pick somehow falls to 20-23ish or whatever and then you do it if you want.

Yeah, exactly. You can be sure that the 49ers are considering trading up for a guy they love that will likely be there at 27. I love Shanny and Lynch(less so), but this is one of their most glaring flaws. It's wild how bad they at getting value with their picks and working the board.

On the bright side: they don't have many picks, so that makes it less likely they will be willing to pay the asking price to move up.
