Now that President-Elect Trump is beginning the process to put his staff and cabinet together, here's my mock on how we're going to make the 49ers great again.
#1: We're going to get rid of the bad people: O'Neil, Kaepernick, Gabbert, Wilhoite, Bellore, Dorsey, Purcell, Bell, and Draughn...gone.
#2: We're going to build a strong defense: Ed Donatell - new DC - 49ers. Former DB coach for us under Fangio, and now the DB coach in CHI.
#3: We're going to make some great deals...believe me:
- Trade 2nd round pick for Patriots Jimmy Garoppolo - QB - Patriots
- Resign Dawson, McDonald, Kerley, Harris, Hodges, Armstrong, and Ponder.
- Free agency: Bennie Logan - NT - Eagles; Cordarrelle Patterson - WR - Vikings; Cornelius Washington - DT/DE - Bears; Stepfan Taylor - RB - Cards
- Extend: Aaron Lynch, Eric Reid, Carlos Hyde, Daniel Kilgore
#4: We're going to create new jobs...through the draft. And we're going to make other teams pay for it.
NFL Draft -
R1: Myles Garrett - DE/OLB - Texas A&M | No brainer pick right here. Starts out in an Aldon Smith pass rushing role and moves to a starting role.
49ers trade 4th, 6th, 2018 2nd round pick and Tank Carradine for Cowboys 1st round pick
R1: Corey Davis - WR - Western Michigan (via DAL) | Another no brainer pick right here. Critical need addressed at the WR unit.
R3: Kendell Beckworth - ILB - LSU | Day 1 starter next to Bowman at ILB. Armstrong and Hodges as depth.
R4: Jeremy Sprinkles - TE - Arkansas (comp) | Goodbye Blake Bell. Hello Sprinkles...mhmmmm Sprinkles...
R5: Ejuan Price - DE/LB - Pitt | He could be the next Elvis Dumervil. Undersized pass rusher, but could be a gem.
R5: Lucas Crowley - C/OG - UNC (via WAS)| Goodbye Marcus Martin. Hello Crowley.
49ers trade 6th round pick for Jets Bryce Petty - QB.
R6: Erik Magnuson - OT - Michigan | Competition and depth at tackle.
R7: Obi Melifonwu - DB/LB - Connecticut (via CLE) | Developmental ILB.
R7: Dare Ogunbowale - RB - Wisconsin | Large RB as a reserve and ST player.
#5 - We're going to make the 49ers great again!
