AdrianLesnar's Guide to the Superbowl.

FA:Jimmy Garappolo, QB. 6yr/145mil: No explanation needed. Allen Robinson, WR. 1yr/14mil: Sign to a one year prove it deal to test the explosiveness post ACL. Would be a low risk, high reward signing since we easily have the cap space. Best case scenario is Shanny gets his Andre Johnson. Worst case scenario is we spend a portion of our enormous cap on a 1 year red zone weapon stopgap. The fact that he played a prostyle offense in college, and is only 24 as a 4th year player, he should be able to both step in right away and contribute as a true #1 for a large portion of Garoppolo's tenure. Ryan Jensen, C. 5yr/42.5mil: Losing our 2nd round pick in the trade for Garappolo, coupled with our need for an immediate starter and upgrade, means we must buy our center in FA. Ryan Jensen will help reestablish the tough guy culture. Shaq Barrett, SAM. 4yr/28mil: If the Broncos don't tender him, he is an absolute must sign priority free agent. Overshadowed by Von Miller and Shane Ray, he has always came up big when asked to step in. 3 down strong side line backer with major pass rush ability. Hopefully, with the Broncos relative lack of cap space, need for a QB, and money already tied up in the position for Miller and Ray, we get a shot at Shaq. Reggie Nelson, FS. 2yr/5mil: I'm not sold on our depth at FS at all. Ward, again, can't stay healthy, and, while serviceable, wasn't too impressive in his return to safety anyway. A lack of depth at Nickel CB also, which would force Ward to move over, as well as the lack of veteran depth at FS only makes me more nervous. Reggie Nelson is up there in age, and I believe will be coming out of his 12th NFL season. Could be a solid short term contributor if the Raiders are ready to move on with Joseph and Melinfonwu (they will.) Eric Reid, S. 3yr/13.5mil: Can play SS, FS, Nickel Safety, or LB. Carlos Hyde, RB. 3yr/15mil: No sense in creating holes where there isn't one, and then using valuable draft capital to fill it when the team is so devoid of talent in other key areas. Draft: 49ers move down from 10 or 11 to ~26, trading with Jacksonville not at all unlike the move the chiefs made to acquire Mahomes. Jags are so close to having a complete roster and don't risk missing on their FQB in Baker Mayfield. In return, we acquire their 1st, 2nd, 4th, and next year's 1st. (Derrick Brown, DT1T and Joe Jackson, RDE, here we come ) R1: Dallas Goedert, TE Plenty of names to go after in this spot from Rashaan Evans, LB to Brian O'Niel, OT, to Isaiah Oliver, CB, but I think the need for a 3rd down security blanket and a red zone weapon has made it self abundantly apparent this season, even with Jimmy G. Goedert, Kittle, Robinson, Garcon, Goodwin, Taylor is a hell of a loaded pass catching corps. R2: Marcus Davenport, DE Davenport gets first crack at being our LEO of the future. Tremendous size and length with the athleticism to match. Not the fastest or most bendy guy in the world, but people his size should not move the way he does. Solid get off, can convert speed to power, and can shed blocks in the run game. R2: Jeff Holland, EDGE Hell of a technician when it comes to rushing the passer. Will create looks for him in situational pass rushing downs. R3: Desmond Harrison, OT This one is a bit more projection as there is not much film out on this guy, but from what I have seen, this guy has wheels. Big and strong, but highly athletic with great feet and speed. Converted tight end I believe who should blow up at the senior bowl. He fills a few needs: Staley's eventual replacement, backup tackle so that it doesn't have to be Beadles, and competition at guard until it's his time at tackle. R3: DJ Moore, WR This will be Garcon' s replacement in a year or two. Few inches taller and he's a 1st round pick any year. R4: James Daniels, C/OG Highly athletic, outside zone caliber prospect. Can compete at guard with Garnett and backup center. Will eventually replace Norwell. Has medical concerns and is slightly undersized, so will be undervalued, luckily for us. R4: Devron Davis, CB We need a new starting corner opposite Ahkello, badly. Devron has great size and demeanor, and excells in every facet of what the coaches and scheme ask of our corners. R5: Michael Joseph, CB See above. R6: Kemoko Turay, DE Marcus Davenport light. Another special physical specimen to try and develop into a LEO of the future. R7: Khalil Hodge, ILB Absolute tackle machine. R7: Frank Ginda, ILB Another tackle machine, this one from San Jose State.

I'm sold, we still won't generate much pass rush, but our receiving corp and protection get much better.

Seems a little overboard on edge defenders and I don't like Reggie Nelson AT ALL, but good otherwise.

I'm confidence in our Safety position. I think we need a #1 corner and a speedy LEO. That will improve the rest of the secondary.

Agreed. Why an aging safety from one of the worst pass defenses in the league? I would take an aging Jonathan Joseph at CB over him in a heartbeat.

Clearly stated im looking for a veteran presence at backup free safety for dirt cheap. Not a CB. Ideally, he should never need to play a down.

I love it. Fantastic work.

I really believe a trade down like that would work and Jacksonville would be an ideal partner. Nice comparison to the KC trade last year for Mahomes.

I really like Goedert. I think he goes in the range of last year's 1st TE picked by NY at 23 Evan Engram. I'm a huge fan and him and Kittle would be a dynamic 1-2 punch.

I like your picks but I would replace Davenport with a RB or Guard.

That is beautiful.

Also, why do you think Shaq Barrett won't be tendered?

I'd prefer to resign Hyde and take flyers on pass rushers, but if Hyde was to walk, that is definitely the pick I'd use on a RB, preferably Ronald Jones II.

As for Shaq, it's more hope than expectation. I do think that there is a chance they decide they have too much invested in the position between Von Miller and Shane Ray.

Barrett is a good selection, but what about Smith. He was brought here to start and has excelled big time at sam

Malcolm Smith is a weakside linebacker

Smith is a WILL.

Also Barrett will most likely get a first round tender...might be a shot we can work out a trade.

thats what i would be hoping for too. Im sure Peters would lead the charge on signing Barrett too or at least working out a deal

Barrett is a restricted free agent so prepare to give up a high pick if you want him because Denver is not letting him go.

Davenport may be flying up the board so I doubt we'll land him.

As far as trading down goes it really just depends who is after us. If teams need to jump Denver and we pick right before them we're in prime position for a big trade. Not sure if it will play out that way but with 4 possible top 10 qb's you never know.

Overall very good mock though.
