That was the 1st round trade, lol. SD traded with us to get Gordon.

Falcons big time winners in this draft. I think they have three starters next year, as well as a third corner and third/fourth WR.

How many 7th rounders could we possibly need. Why haven't we used any of these extra picks for an extra 4th or 5th rounder instead of being able to lock in more guys who are essentially UDFAs?

Surely there are some mid round players who will have a better shot of making the team than multiple 7th rounders.

Not if they have a similar grade on the prospects from here on out. They know their board.

Bennett would be a good value anytime now...CBS had him as a 2/3 rounder.

More like I didn't set myself up for disappointment by being convinced that a run-first team is going to go nuts taking a bunch of WR's early on in the draft. If people have unrealistic expectations of what sort of system this team is going to run, that's on them.


I've said for months now that defense, particularly the front seven was going to be a priority, because it was clear that is where this the team's strengths need to be in this system. People who lied to themselves and thought that the 49ers were going to go WR, WR, and WR, should have paid better attention to what Baalke and Tomsula and the rest were saying.

Tomsula also said he was fine with the DL. Baalke said that Justin's decision on retiring wasn't relevant to who they'd pick. I didn't want WR, WR, WR. But so far the team hasn' t picked a WR who will likely play this year. Some of us hoped the team would be more likely to have a winning record next season. Do you remember the losses to the Rams and Raiders?

When S. Johnson and B. Lloyd were signed, webzoners celebrated. I pointed out that the team had gotten no better with them, because they didn't improve the quality of the starters. T. Smith is barely if at all an improvement over Crabtree. Again, I point out that these draft picks and acquisitions so far do not improve the chances of the team to have a winning record.

TS wasn't signed to take Crabtree's spot. Two different type of receivers, TS will stretch the field, Crabs was a possession receiver. If the O-line can stay healthy, we will be much better on that side of the ball. After this draft our D will be a monster that other teams will not want to deal with...

Makes sense - just the outcome of our Day 1 trade for this Draft.
