We did better than OK but for me I give it a C+
It wasn't the kicker that bothered me - it was no top tier OL.
For me RAIDS had a very good draft but cripes, with 3 first rd picks, plus a slug more in rds 2-5, what would one expect. As for us, disagree only slightly in grade... Lynch could have gotten piggy and traded down, thus insuring we get no Bosa. The fact he didn't despite some awesome offers, I would expect, was a terrific move , even tho it was very simple . I bet anything he and kyle were offered a bunch but they held to their guns and took the true blue chipper. Sounds easy, but was a lot harder to actually do, i bet.
Sure agree with your "It wasn't the kicker in rd 4 that bothered me...it was no OL in rd 2." AFter that, i wasn't much interested in drafting yet another backup OL. So even tho we got no OL high, the drafting of Bosa alone gets us a B-. He is that good and we needed him that bad..BPA intersected with NEED.
Then, in addition, we get two talented WRs, who may help us move the chains on 3rd downs and RZ. Also we got a starting punter who may have some tricks up his leg kyle uses. As for the rest, i hope all make the squad, but wouldn't bet money on any.
Next yr...OLs, and Ss. And I sure hope kyle is done with his 2nd rd and now 3rd rd WR picks. And I'll say the beads that kyle is right on the Deebo and Hurd thing...ie, that with them here , the OL gives its usual 2 seconds to our QB and after that craters...or disappears. I sure hope this works as it would make us ready to compete this yr. No point in contemplating what happens if the Deebo Hurd thing doesn't work ...it has to. Still, we got Bosa. B-
