Yeah last year we had no one at WR w the injuries. Could also say if Pearsall gets hurt all we have is an older Mike Evans and a bunch of nothing. We need someone who can challenge Witherspoon and match his talent and give him trouble.

WR is still a way bigger need than people have been recently saying.

Zero issues going WR at #27 dont care if it's Cooper, KC, or even Boston. Although not running a 40 still really bothers me and makes skeptical. Guys who run fast run the 40. And for his size a 4.55 or better and that would be great and perfectly fine. Not running means he is a 4.6 guy and doesnt want anyone to know. Still like him as a player though has great hands scores TDs tall etc.

Also Cooper Jr and KC I think are clear BPA over Lawrence and some of the EDGEs of we are talking about value.

So many different directions we could go at #27. Hope we get a great player.

Disagree. Pass rushing DT couldn't has been an issue since Buck was traded. But I hope we draft a WR so we can see a top 5 offense improve meanwhile our dead last in sacks stays the same.

Rams still lost to the Seahawks with 2 stud WRs. Nachewa vastly better than any WR we are going to be trotting out there.

Umm Rams actually scored a lot of points vs SEA's D.

To win games scoring points matter and actually sustaining drives moving the chains and gaining TOP matters.

Not going to win scoring 9 total points in two games vs anyone. If we want to beat SEA we need to fix the offense first and Evans/Kirk are just band aids for this season and if an injury happens to Evans/Pearsall we are in the same boat as last year vs SEA.

Guess I'm now talking myself into Cooper Jr/KC/Boston at #27. Ideally Boston would be after a trade back to the early 2nd.

Then get Oscar Delp at #58 (im tellin you watch his YouTubes!) who is a faster Kittle and can catch get YAC and block and those two picks immediately help Brock out in the run game and the pass game. Get a G in the 4th and trade two of our late 4ths to move up to early 4th and secure Jalen Farmer who is the fastest and strongest G in the entire draft. Grab Keyron Crawford/Max Llewellyn/Romello Height/Nadame Tucker/Barham with another 4th rounder. Finish it out with Landon Robinson or Zane Durant with last 4th.

Cooper Jr/KC/Boston + Delp + Farmer gives three players who immediately help the O and add young talent to that side of the ball. Not to mention if we did a pick swap with AZ for their 65 would be even better

Top 5 offense means NOTHING if that top 5 offense can only score 9 total points in two game vs SEA. It becomes meaningless.

Oooo we can score and do ok vs other weaker teams and get in the playoffs and get our asses kicked again by SEA and kick a few FGs.

SEA exposed us and Im glad they did so we can take extreme measures to fix it.

Plus we get three quality starters back on D that impact getting sacks that were gone most of the season last year. So we dont know how bad our pass rush really is since we lost Bosa and Mykel early last season.

But look man Im totally good with an EDGE at 27 or 58.

Ideal world we trade back to 35 and pick swap... grab a WR at 35, an EDGE at 58, and I can still get my guy Delp at 65. What would you say to this?

#35. Concepcion / Boston / Bell WR
#58. Mason Thomas EDGE
#65. Oscar Delp TE
#133. Jalen Farmer G
#138. Landon Robinson / Zane Durant DT

I don't disagree that a IDL rusher is a need, however this draft is pretty bleak on that.

I think we all agree the only reason we were any good on offense is because we have CMC over 500 touches. That can't be a thing going forward.

Also lets keep it real we lost Bosa for most the yr then Williams. Thats two young players coming back and adding Osa as a top tier interior rusher.

Yeah we lost Bosa. And that's kinda a reoccurring thing with the Bosas. I'm not anti Mykel and hope he can take another step but let's be real he wasn't doing much in the pass rush department when he got hurt. Adding Osa helps much like adding Evans and Kirk and getting Pearsall hopefully back completely healthy. You know I respect your guys opinion but no matter how much you or Ezekiel say WR is a bigger need I will not agree. Our Defense was absolutely pathetic last year with a DC who is phenomenal. I don't think there's a gap between Howell and Conception as far as player.

Im all about Cashius Howell instead of a WR with our 1st pick.

All I was saying was WR is a bigger need than people are trying to say recently that it isn't.

The guy I want the most is Delp at TE as I think he is George Kittle but faster.

Pick swap with AZ for their 65 to get an NY / Hysterikal / Zeke approved mock with our first three picks

35. Cashius Howell EDGE
58. Keylan Rutledge G
65. Oscar Delp TE
133. Kendrick Law WR
138. Landon Robinson / Zane Durant / Kaleb Proctor DT
139. Travis Burke OT (we met with him)

If you told me Law would 100% be available in the late 4th I'd be more good on passing on WR early. Dude is a DAWG like Jennings but built like Deebo and runs a 4.42 and can get YAC and blocks.

Williams literally had two games before he had to play out of position until his injury due to Bosa being hurt. I agree he's not gonna be some elite rusher. He will make his hay inside like you want.

Osa is in his prime and under contract past this yr, Kirk doesn't move the needle much imo. Evans is great, he's also an injury waiting to happen and more than likely out after this yr.

our D was depleted beyond belief. It wasn't like we just lost one guy there.

I think Howell is a one trick pony with limited upside and snaps. I don't hate him or think the one thing he can do isn't impressive. I don't see that as a top 27 pick though.

KC is an amazing separator, something we simply couldn't do vs Seattle. He's got high end speed and YAC/punt return ability. IMO he's a bigger waddle. If he's there I'm running the card up and going to get a DPR at 58.

We can't depend on CMC to get 500 touches again. Think it's kinda foolish to assume Evans will be a 17 game starter or anything past this season.

I will say. I don't really want Cooper Jr at 27 he's not in the same tier as KC. Same with Boston, I actually like him more than Cooper. If KC is gone I'm looking to move down at all cost. I might be talked into taking Bisontis.

Give us a quick mock NY

My favorite EDGE now is actually Gabe Jacas who can do all the things and got double digit sacks last year.

#35. Gabe Jacas EDGE
#58. Keylan Rutledge G
#65. Oscar Delp TE
#133. Kendrick Law WR

What would you think of that?

Every 49er is an injury waiting to happen. Drafting in fear of an injury then we should draft an RB early in case CMC gets hurt. Are you not concerned with KCs hands? Amazing separator is a bit overblown also.

He's the best separator in this draft.





hands can be worked on, Devante Adams had horrible hands his first couple yrs in the league.

honestly don't think he will be there when we pick, but if he is Kyle could have a field day with him.

I'll add I'm not pounding the table for KC or really any player at 27.

We all know WR is a need. We cant go into next season with Robinson and Bourne getting meaningful snaps (spoiler: we arent). But Seattle dominating us has far more to do with the OL. We need to run to draw the safeties up. We need to attack Emanwori in coverage.

They will either stubbornly die in nickel, or they will get beaten over the top in base by a healthy kittle, Evans and Pearsall

Amen.

Why is cooper not on same tier?

Watch for the Christen Miller DT surprise at #27 too. Lynch never shuts up about the DL being the foundation and Miller is a lean 6'4 320lb beast against the run and has pass rush upside. Mykel's best friend. They could still go EDGE at #58 and grab Mason Thomas or get a G and TE. It would match their philosophy and I do like Miller the player even if I wouldn't go DL with our first pick.

But im mentally prepared for it. If we traded back to 30-35 id be totally fine with Miller as the pick as he is being sleeped on. Maybe cuz his name is so bland and not memorable ... Christen Miller.

Trade with AZ for their 103 and 183 and a 2027 4th

#35. Christen Miller DT
#58. Keylan Rutledge G
#103. Oscar Delp TE
#104. Jaishawn Barham / Josh Josephs / Derrick Moore EDGE (trade two 4ths)
#133. Kendrick Law WR
#138. Keyron Crawford EDGE (double up at EDGE)
#183. Travis Burke OT

Could work.

Rutledge, Delp, and Law all great and willing blockers so helps the run game vs SEA and matches our run first philosophy. Delp and Law are also fast (Law 4.42 40 and Delp 4.44 40 as a TE...) and specialize in YAC and Shanahan specializes in creating space for YAC. And we get two EDGEs that are both DPRs that have talent and can compete hard against the other to see the field along with another blue chip top talent to add to the DL rotation. I mean do we think West and Collins have shown they are going to be dominant stars? I like them both but they haven't proven anything like that yet and we need to keep drafting top young talent to add to the group.
