Or just fxxk it, let Kyle take Trubisky at 2 and be done with it. LOL.

OK, if there is zero chance we are taking him, why are you even posting about him then? LOL.

It won't be sad day for me if we pass on him, it will be a sad day for the 49ers franchise.

There's a reason RBs don't get drafted high

Marshall Faulk was drafted #2 overall, as was Ronnie Brown. In 2005 3 rbs were taken in the top ten picks. Stop misleading people, you should add IMO to just about everything you post.

This is such BS, OK so we will just fxxking carry on drafting defense for the rest of the century then!

And I did mention Joshua Garnett who was by the way a trade-up back into the end of the 1st round, hardly a full blown legit 1st round pick plus is not like he has been playing like a stud neither.

I am done with you lot. Post whatever BS you want.

Fxxking complete waste of time.

Can't argue facts = done with me.

Got it.

Don't worry. Plenty of time until draft day. Fun's not over yet.

RBs don't get drafted that high anymore should be the term.

The NFL is very different from even 10 years ago. More teams are using the passing game to setup the run or use short passing game instead of the run. You don't need these monster running backs to run all game long.

Faulk was also a totally different player and was very well rounded so the comparison doesn't make sense.

Fournette is a great back but given our situation and the way the league is these days the move just doesn't make sense for us. He'd be a great fit for a team like Jacksonville who has some really good pieces in place but doesn't have a proven guy at RB.

In the last ten years we have Zeke, Gurley, Trent Richardson, McFadden, Spiller, AP,

So 6 guys in the top ten in the last ten years... that's nothing.

Hahahaha I posted all the RBs that have been first rd picks over the past 10 yrs earlier...go check out all those HOFs

How about you read up instead of just jumping in on posts

FYI falk is the opposite of LF...not even close to the same running back

I take it back to the QB for point 3 lol. Clearly they can move the ball, but can't put it into the end zone. But look at it this way, say Geep Chryst or Curtis Modkins (with Chip Kelly's offense) were calling the plays on those Houston, Washington, Cleveland teams. What do you think the offenses would've ranked then? And Atlanta had that elite talent for years, with a good play caller in Dirk Koetter and they never looked that good. I think with what we have now, along with another running back, Kyle can get us to 20-25th on offense. Nothing to write home about, but it's only year one. On defense, add the right players in that front 7 and we can answer a mystery I've been wanting to find out for 3 years. What would our secondary look like with a pass rush?

I'd love a QB too, but it's just not there.

I don't judge things off how the worse coordinators in football would grade out there (Chryst). Kelly is a great offensive mind and the only thing that can derail him is lack of talent. He'd do fine in Hou and Atl, in Wsh it would be a mixed bag because he'd get Griffin killed. Ryan has thrown for 4,500 yards for 5 straight years now it's not like they were garbage b4 Shanny. No doubt Shanny opened things up and it's a combo of him finding his system backs added with already established elite talent like Ryan and Julio.

20 to 25th is a long ways away to go and I just don't think Thomas gives us a great front 7 just yet. No exterior pass rush still so we'd still end up having to throw down a 1st at de like Atl, Jax and Seattle have.

My wanting to take Thomas first also includes Lawson in the second and a trade up for Willis or Bowser. Now those moves might give us something in our front 7. Inside and outside pass rush covered. If Aaron Lynch actually gives a damn and Brooks performs well, we could possibly make some noise on defense.

We also went all in for the best OC in football who's style of offense would have to completely change with Fournettes skill set. Draft him high and you change the entire offensive philosophy that he used last year to get the falcons to the Super Bowl.

I mostly like what we have at 3 tech that's why I would pass on Thomas. We do need to improve our run defense and that's why a rotating tackle like Tomlinson would be a great pick but people are giving up on AA way too early, Ronald Blair looks to be a great situational pass rusher and we got a likely future all pro in Buckner at 5 anchoring the other d line spot. We got about 100 needs no way am I spending our 3 top picks on one area. You brought up that it would be passing on Reggie White but I'm perfectly fine passing on Reggie White if I got Bruce Smith for the next decade.

Bruce Smith was a #1 overall. I'm confused by your analogy.

If I drafted Bruce Smith and he's already showing to be the dominant end and the next year Reggie White pops up you can justify passing on him esp in the salary cap era. Yes, there's 2 ends and they both can play but it's not needed. There's a reason you're picking that high again too you got issues all over.

Deforrest allows us to pass on Thomas especially because I think they're both best at big end, nickel DT. I'd feel great walking out with our future nose and Leo in this draft. That extra beef will go along ways to help the run d too
