HBB 2021 No-Trade Mock

I really like your draft picks.

I don't think we will be able to rely on Richburg at center and I think that there will be more cap trouble than you are expecting or accounting for in this mock draft if we keep garoppolo despite drafting a first-round QB. My only other comment is that TJ vasher is tall lanky and a good deep threat, but I wouldn't call him a " big " receiver per se.

I think they might start the season this way then assess which big contract would be let go. If they start 0-3 you might see more than one big contract go.

I like Trey Lance. Great arm, very mobile, but inaccurate as hell!

i don't see him taking the field right away which is why I see Garoppolo staying at least a year. Lance has to learn the pro style offense, but a run-heavy team like the Niners is an easier transition. Of course the elephant in the room is the salary cap problem.

How you resigning guys and retaining Jimmy? You got almost 40 positions you need to replace (not all high end spots I get that) and only $25M to do it in this scenario.

Not a lot of options. Try to restructure some contracts. Maybe trade Tomlinson and Gould to alleviate cap space, and hope you can find adequate replacements.

Relying on rich burg an our current IOL to keep our qb healthy = 2020 all over again

IOL upgrades are priority number 1

Lance is going to be a good quarterback but he's not a Kyle shanahan quarterback. It's going to take him a few years to be a Kyle shanahan quarterback. He's a run first guy and Kyle does not like that at all

The 1981 49ers needed a heavy influx of defensive backs and they chose four in the first 7 rounds. Similar situation exists today. Resign the following starters:
1) TWilliams, 2) Verrett, 3) Juszczyk, and 4) Brunskill

1 Trey Lance QB - Probably stick with JimmyG one year then hand over the reins to Lance.
2 Tyson Campbell CB - Moseley/Verrett are the starters, but choose a outside corner early given Verrett's injury history.
3 Drake Jackson IOL (comp pick if Saleh leaves) - He becomes the main competitor to take Richburg's spot and allows 49ers to dump the big contract.
4 Shaka Toney Edge - Ford is the other contract that 49ers want to dump. Hyder, Blair, Thomas, Willis and Jordan are all free agents, with Hyder likely getting a bigger contract elsewhere. Blair coming back from injury is a big question mark, and the othere are bottom-of-the-roster guys. My alternative draft has the 49ers grabbing Paye or Rousseau in the first round and skipping a QB pick altogether.
5 T.J. Carter CB - Has the speed to cover the slot
5 Keith Taylor CB (conditional pick from Kwon trade) - competes for depth in sub packages
5 Demetric Felton RB (comp pick from Sanders leaving) - RB that is a good pass catcher and can also play slot WR
6 Ronnie Bell WR - Replaces Bourne and Taylor as 4th option, assuming Hurd is healthy this year.
7 Tyarise Stevenson DT - big NT that rotates with Givens.
7 Tarron Jackson Edge - Beefy Edge depth behind Armstead and Street.

On paper the team looks good if healthy. If the picks pan out, 49ers can move off the JimmyG, Richburg and Ford contracts, then extend Warner and Tomlinson. McGlinchey probably will also be extended but I don't see them exercising the 5th year option.

Completion percentage is not always a very good indicator of accuracy. If a lot of his throws were Alex Smith, Sam Bradford, Drew Brees type of short throws than I'm not impressed at all. In the case of Lance, his accuracy is above average imo. Hopefully if we pick him, he will have a Josh Allen type of leap in accuracy
