Well, we "worked hard" to finally get a great draft position, but the QBs aren't up to snuff, and the other studs....Garrett prob goes to Cleve unless they screw up yet again. Allen, definitely destined for all pro, is something we already have taken last two drafts in a row, as our first pick. Love to have him but we need NT, ILB, OLB, WR, FR QB, RB, CB...all as impact players. This yr the talent doesn't line up well for us.
HOWEVER:
What we like and what we want has no bearing on what Kyle and Lynch want. IF it so happens Garrett is gone, and kyle /lynch think Trubisk is the best thing since sliced bread, then bingo, we got kyle's FR QB. If, however, he doesn't see a guy who is extremely accurate, is smart, has good mechanics, makes good reads, goes thru his progressions well....then that is a different matter. In the end, it matters what kyle thinks he can do with which guy to become our FR QB....or he may decide there is nobody who fits the bill. Then we move back if there is NO impact player at #2 that fits our needs. There are some at 4,5, 6 and some QBs at 10-15, maybe a Mahomes/Peterman at end of rd 1 or start of rd 2....but it all boils down to what kyle thinks he can do wiht so and so Qb. It may be he ONLY wants Cousins...or garopp. We aren't going to figure it out because it will matter to kyle most on what he can do with everyone of the available QBs. Maybe we don't take any until rd 4. And then take 2. STill and all, it boils down to what kyle sees with each and everyone. I just hope he doesn't take Kizer. The others like everyone else, i just don't know. But Kizer no way. In his shoes i would stay and learn another 1 yr, 2 would be even better. He just has way too far to go to play now.
And as SheHateMe notes, somebody always is around to do something stupid to move up for a QB. In the end, that may very well be our best play. Let someone else make some kind of stupid offer. Whatever, finally I feel like we are represented by a couple guys who will do better than the old regime. So bring it on and let's see what happens in draft.
And keep in mind, the team drafting ahead of us gave up Wentz last yr for extra draft picks a couple of which are already gone .I still think they fool us all and pull Watson out of thin air. Hey, he almost beat the #1 team in the nation LAST YR and DID BEAT that same team THIS Yr. So maybe they know Watson is the guy with "IT". Have to admit this will be one interesting draft. Meantime, i am hoping we forget last yrs FA and turn our attn to getting a NT, WR, RB, ILB and OLB. Or a corner. Who knows, but it better be an IMPACT player at whichever slot it is. And with real luck, it sure would be nice if we could fill TWO IMPACT slots in FA. Remember...this yr we don't have trent out there, nor do we have tomsul...nor Chip. That alone ought to make us a lot more desirable place to land. And Lynch is well known and well thot of, and KYLE....he will be our lucky charm, right after he directs the falcons to a win over the favored PATS. Think about that as an ad: Kyle Shanahan, OC for the winners of SB 51, now the HC for the SF 49ers. That has GOT to get us some notice by a number of talented FAs.
