The Ones That Got Away

Antonio Gibson.

He's got tremendous star quality and is a perfect fit as a modern RB that can do it all. I think he would have been a monster here and eventually would have taken over as the primary RB.

As much as I feel the exact same way... I feel like KS won't draft a RB high again knowing how they find guys in UDFA that do the job and I doubt they ever give franchise RB money to any player.

Oh yeah! Forgot about Gibson. I had him ranked higher than Aiyuk actually! Another low-volume high-impact YAC guy in college. Aiyuk is obviously more polished as a receiver, but Gibson has experience playing true RB and ran .21s faster in the 40.

Good post!

IMO, they'll be trying to get McKivitz to play Guard.

This kid is a freak and Wilson might utilize his ball skills and versatility and length. I like what Schneider has done for the cheat birds we just need to keep pace.

What is it with you and freaks lol

Lamb and then we should have probably traded up to take an O-lineman in the late 20s.

Was watching an interview at the combine with McKivitz and he mentioned playing guard in the senior bowl, and that some teams were even asking him if he can snap. I am confused about what the 49ers want to do with him. KS and JL mentioned that one of the options for the draft was to move back to 14 and get that 4th rounder and keep it for McKivitz. He was their target O lineman, even without the Trent Williams deal. They were not planning on taking Wirfs. So if the Williams trade did not materialize, and there was serious questions about that as the Redskins were talking to multiple teams, McKivitz was always the backup plan. To me that implies that the viewed him as a possible LT or at least RT. Others think he is moving to guard. Maybe he is just seen as valuable depth across the line, while being a developmental prospect for a certain position.

His film is spotty at tackle to me. He plays way too tall, with his hands low for way too long, and is routinely burned by the speed rush dipping around him. 4 years starter with a ton of experience, but does not look refined at all. Obviously that leaves room for improvement with some real coaching, but I'm not seeing a starting LT. Not sure about a starting caliber guard either, and he is more of a neutralizing blocker. He seals the edge well, but he is not a hog molly coming around and locking on to guys and driving them back 5 yards. He has the right temperament and has some athletic abilities to move around in space and a zone scheme will cover up some of his deficiencies and play to his strengths. I do think he will be functionaly at guard, but I am really curious about his ability at center.

My post about the one that got away was going to be about Bryce Hall, but I abstained because O Line was the bigger need. Not sure if Hall would see this field this year. I'm betting McKivitz does. Just hoping what the 49ers saw in him can be maximized.

I'm happier with Kinlaw and Aiyuk than Lamb and Blacklock tbh.

I just think Aiyuk fits this offense perfectly even if Lamb is the better overall WR.

I've said for year's we needed to upgrade our returner as well and Aiyuk > Lamb at it.

No regrets overall i'm satisfied
there was no point going up
we couldn't trade down too far
but i was hoping the Eagles would make a trade offer for #14 and we would have accept it for their 2nd round to draft probably Aiyuk at #21 then trade back from #31 and collect a 2nd in 2021 and pick a quality CB and OL in this year 2nd round
But i understand the choice of Kinlaw it's part of their plan and i respect that

in this scenario you are adding WR, CB, OL with quality picks, but would not have another pick until 156. Are you taking a DT there? And if so who?

Right, this pick makes sense to me if they're looking at Mcvitz as the LG of the future. Otherwise, kind of a head scratcher.

Last year, there were two players that I wanted.

1. AJ Brown over Deebo. Deebo has been great in Shanahan's offense, but AJ is a true #1 WR.

2. DK Metcalf over Jalen Hurd. This is not one that stated in the forums like AJ Brown, I didn't dream that there was any way that Metcalf would fall to the last pick of the second round. I wish Shanalynch would have traded up to get Metcalf.

This year I wanted CeeDee Lamb or Ruggs at 13. With Ruggs off the board, the choice was easy, for me at least, take CeeDee! So, just like the AJ Brown vs Deebo Samuels battle, I will be watching CeeDee vs Aiyuk. I know it's different situations for both players, but I will be looking for their body of work over the season.

So, I'm going with CeeDee Lamb at 14, keeping the 4th round pick, trading down from 31 to the 40's, drafting Blacklock, and drafting Tyler Biadasz with our 4th rounder.

Except DK was taken in the second round and Hurd in the third, so they couldn't have taken DK unless they took him instead of Deebo. That's a no for me.
