🏈 2024 NFL ENTRY DRAFT 🏈-Do not tip picks!

Our front office seems to think this is a weak draft in terms of late round depth. that's the only reason I could see them trading 2 5th rounders (money round) for a fourth round pick (RB).

I don't see any of our pics, making it to a second contract. I also don't think any of them will get a lot of playing time, not because of them, but because our roster seems to be loaded. We are drafting back up's and ST players. But I'm sure they will be given every opportunity to shine, take positions, and cut their own path.

In a vacuum judging only by talent acquired, I give it at A-. Looking at how it relates only to this year, I give it a B. Looking at how it relates to the team moving forward, C+/B-. We have enough to piece the trenches together for this year, but moving forward we have the existing RT question mark, then you add in Trent being a year closer to retirement and Banks being due a contract we may not be able to afford and then whatever position Puni doesn't take, whether that's center or RT. On defense, I still have hope for Drake, but there's still a question mark at end, hargrave is older, and the pieces we used to plug holes this year are starting to walk.

You're waaaay off on this. I've been following the draft closely the past 10-15 years and this is the best draft the Niners have had that I can remember just in terms of need/fit/skill/potential. Obviously you never know how prospects will turn out but for all the things above it's been an A draft

I disagree. The Niners could have traded down and gotten most of the guys they picked later while acquiring more picks. Example: Malik Mustapha in the 4th round, described by NFL.com as "having a chance to be be an average backup." Green was considered a 3rd of 4th rounder on most boards. And why do you give up two 5th round picks to move up 6 picks in the 4th to draft an RB that will hardly ever play? There was still a very versatile O-Lineman and good pass catching TE on the board at that point.

People think of just this year. But next year we only have 3 WR's signed (Deebo, Bell, Grey), hopefully will be 4 after Aiyuk, but never know. We are probably losing Juan after this season, almost certain if we sign Yuk to a big deal. These picks are for 2 years for now. The Draft isnt about now.

100%. Hufunga is gonna be in a contract year and coming off injury, that's where the Mustapha pick comes in. We only have a couple CB's under contract after this year hence the Greene pick. Both those players fit well and have a ton of potential. CMC can't go forever and Mitchell is always hurt. Guerendo is the most athletic RB for his size in the last 15 years, he could be a real stud

I don't know how we let Jared Wiley get past us. Completely miffed how we don't see him being an immediate contributor vs a RB who likely won't be in the rotation at all this year.

Gould is a nice pick here, went higher than I thought. All the small speedy receivers popular flavor of the year

That's who I really wanted. My only guess is they they really believe in Latu and Willis.

Then you must not like Worthy either as NFL said of him "eventually be an average starter" and he went 26. lol

Campbell will replace Greenlaw until he's ready to come back. DFF is also pretty damn solid.

Agree with DFF statement, but what happens when Fred gets hurt?

We have ZERO ZERO ZERO insurance depth in that scenario. Just sayin.

Who could we draft as insurance to Warner that is better than Campbell, DFF, Winters, Robinson, or Graham? We have plenty of depth there.

We can't have a probowl backup to every starter.

We would have to move up but Jeremiah Trotter would be a good pick as insurance in the LB core. I am quite surprised he's still on the board

What in the hell are the 49ers doing? Just about everyone they've drafted has been a reach, and they just gave up two 5th round picks to move up 6 spots to draft an RB who will probably never get a carry. Their two current backup RB's hardly get any carries! And their past two 3rd round RB's were busts. Hopefully Pearsall will be a good "move the chains" type WR, and Puni will be a versatile OL, but outside of that, this draft seems like waste!

Mitchell (injured a LOT) and Mason are FA after this season and will cost more than a 4th round rookie to keep.

Guerendo reminds me a lot of Pacheco - speed and power. This is a solid pick that provides better, more reliable depth behind CMC

Honestly I want Jeremiah Trotter Jr., they gotta add more LB's.

Disagree but one point for you. We didn't give up two 5ths to move up 6 picks. Check your facts.

Faster than Pacheco and probably a better receiver.

When you draft a player it is for the next 4 years. The pick isnt all about the fit today. You have no idea what the organization is thinking of doing next offseason.
