Also no way we draft a TE in rd 1, much bigger needs than a TE, idk much about Pitts, but we need a new EDGE, a CB, IOL, and FQB before another TE, can't possibly pay 2 elite TEs long term. Plus Bosa, Trent, Warner, Deebo, Aiyuk, Kinlaw, Dre, etc....

Could sign 2-3 FA CBs for that much.
They won't be as good as Trent at his position
No argument there at all. Just tryna avoid a Brian Allen/ Dontae Johnson situation at corner. Those day 3 guys and UDFA are gonna be free lunch for D.Hop, Lockett, Metcalf, Kupp/Woods. But ya know, I guess they could always draft a CB in the first.

They way Kittle plays... I just hope he stays healthy. Broken bones in back to back years makes me nervous

People need to realize it's not about the average per year, it's about guarantees, and the structure of the deal, in 2021 Trent's deal would likely cost like $5.5M against the cap, you keep a top 3 All Pro LT, even at $18M to $20M a yr, but again, guarantees are the biggest thing, throw $40M at him, $30M at signing, 5yr deal with easy out(s).
And that's why you're AB. In that case, I'm all for it.

He played that Arizona game with some broken bones in either his foot or ankle.
Edit: yeah. In the first Cards game in 2019, he broke his ankle. He finished the game but my point is not that he be active, but that he be healthy.

Do you mean his knee? It was his knee that got hyperextended. This was the injury in AZ that caused him to miss a few games:

He didn't break no ankle because if he did he wouldn't have played the remainder of the game nor would he have only missed 2 games. His injuries have been football to freak injuries, not because he's blocking his ass off or running over someone.

Nah, that was this year. The broken bone in his ankle was last year.

Here's the article from last year. I remember because he had a touchdown on a big play despite the injury. Regardless, those are injuries nonetheless and over time, those lower body injuries can affect some of the abilities that make him great

That video is from 2019. It's from the first matchup vs Arizona from last season in AZ. He hyperextended his knee on the first drive.
But I totally forgot about the broken ankle thing from last year. Guys like Kittle will always be at risk of injuries because they give 100% on every play. That doesn't mean we need to spend a first-round pick on a TE. That's terrible management of resources.

I think he's top 10 but he may easily be there where we pick. He wouldn't be an optimal pick but jeez, if we had Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle and Pitts, I could play QB haha. Pick Pitts in round one, CB in round two and interior OL in later rounds and call it a day.
Pitts would add a huge dimension to this team.
A first round TE that would be lucky to catch 30 passes?

He is not really a tight end. I would consider him more of an H back. Sort of like what Hurd was supposed to be before he fractured his back and what not.
And ya he might not be the most optimal pick but damn......

What if the Niners draft Pitts at 12 and wait for it... Kittle n' Pitts is born.
But seriously Shanny has been wanting to run two TE sets with us here from the beginning (rumors of him wanting to trade for Engram last year, give Kittle some rest, signing Reed, etc.) is something I can see happening.
He also wanted to sign Hooper this past off season as well
