Day two picks. Who you got?

The pick at 43 is going to be so interesting. We figured D line in round 1. We knew it after Banks went. Theres 10 picks in front of us. It's very possible 2 of them are QBs. Consensus would be to go D Line. Its possible the Browns who have 2 picks avoid DT since they already took Graham. If you are looking at Darius Alexander or TJ Sanders, they may just have to survive 6 picks.

But the class is also deep at DT. This could be a chance to address another position of need

CB Will Johnson
CB Trey Amos
CB Shanon Revel
LB Carson Schwesigner
OT Aireontae Ersery

You can also go BPA and address a smaller need.

DE Mike Green
DE Donovan Ezeiruaku
S Xavier Watts
S Nick Emmanwori
WR Luther Burden
RB Trey Henderson
TE Mason Taylor

I just ran through 3 quick mocks to show you dont have to take DT here

11 DE Mykel Williams
43 LB Carson Schwesigner
75 DT Alfred Collins
100 CB Jacob Parrish
113 OT Charles Grant
138 DT Aeneas Peebles

11 DE Mykel Williams
43 CB Trey Amos
75 DT Shemar Turner
100 DT CJ West
113 LB Chris Paul Jr
138 CB Dorian Strong

11 DE Mykel Williams
43 DE Donovan Ezeiruaku
75 WR Kyle Williams
100 DT Josh Farmer
113 OT Anthony Belton
138 DT Vernon Broughton

yessir. man you are breaking it all down today

I know he has character concerns but I'm not against Mike Green. He can go get the QB. Mykel Williams can easily kick inside on passing downs. I think a run stuffing defensive tackle can be had after round 2.

But what do you do with Mike Green on the other downs? He's not gonna kick inside on the early downs. They want Williams to set the edge

Mykel has the ability to kick inside which allows for more flexibility in who you pick. Maybe another pure Edge, although that is not my choice.

Next most important to me is replacing Dre. Hence Schwesinger is the pick. Go get him.

I know he CAN go inside - but it's clear they want an elite edge setter in early downs. If they plan to line Williams up on the edge on first and second down - I don't know what a 2nd round pure edge player would do? You can't have him on the bench.

Id love to add the Mike Green but hard to see how he sees the field on the majority of snaps now. I think it's a DT, LB or WR in round 2.

Green can be a fresh edge rusher on passing downs. You can't have enough guys that can get to the QB.Bosa and Williams can't play every snap.

Nothing. Its a luxury pick. At first hes a pass rush specialist. Plays passing situations. Plays third down. Plays 2 minute drill. Implement more packages against teams that struggle to run. Use him more against the Kyle Murrays of the world. You play him in games where you are up 14 and the other team abandons the run a bit. He'd be a great rotational piece. Now, do I want to give up that draft capital for that? Thats tough. But getting to the QB is how you get the D off the field.

The 49ers aren't going to fill every hole on this roster in the draft. This is a building block year and an opportunity to get much younger. Take the best player available and stack talent. Now if the talent choices are close you'd probably go with a position of need.

Those Mike Green accusations must be insane. Because the talent is undeniable.

it's a very bad idea to get another edge with the 43th,... very very bad idea,... we have the f*cking Nick Bosa, we have a guy called YMG who earns $10 millions, we have a promising guy in Sam O. and we already have drafted with our only first rounder a huge DE prospect,..

but we don't have a starting NT, we don't have a starting 3-tech, we don't have a starting FS and we don't have a starting LB alongside Warner,... we cannot get all these starters in the 7th round

IMO it would be a horrible way of building the team,... and picking Mike Green would be the worst possible choice I can imagine

Hope we can get 4 picks tonight. Still a lot of great players that can immediately help us. CB, DT, LB and WR. Trade next year picks as well if needed as well have plenty comps.

Fine with 2 of the next 3 picks being IDL. TJ Sanders and Norman-Lott.

Defensive Tackles

T.J. Sanders -or- Darius Alexander

Either T.J. Sanders or Darius Alexander -I Would prefer T.J. Sanders if both are there at #43 and if SF wanted to go the Def. Tackle direction,They both would help our Interior D line immediately,and they are both similar in respect to their Weight 297-lbs TJ and 305-lbs Darius and their 40-yd time 4.95 TJ and 4.95 for Darius A.

They both offer different compelling "arguments" to be drafted one ahead of the other, T.J's 20-Yd shuffle is better at 4.67 compared to Darius 4.79.,But Darius is stronger he did 28 rep's.and "He has been tested, coming in with numbers including a 400-pound bench press . .T.J didn't Bench press?

2024 Stat's T.J. Sanders

2024 season: Played in all 13 games with 9 starts (50 tackles, 7 TFLs with 4 sacks, PBU).

2024 Stat's Darius Alexander Second-team All-MAC. Started 12 games (40 tackles, 7.5 TFLs with 3.5 sacks, 4 PBUs). Returned an INT for a TD i
The stat's for the 2024 season for both players were impressive .

They both had basically the same stats except TJ played in the SEC ,While Darius plated in the Mid American (Some NFL team's automatically throw extra weight on a SEC player's when comparing similar players) when evaluating and building their draft board).
btw T.J. Sanders earned First-Team All-SEC and Third-Team All-America recognition from College Football Nation while being named SEC Interior Defender of the Year.

B/C of the level of competition that he (T.J) played in, And him excelling in the Division
,And with him being named SEC Interior Defender of the Year in in one of the toughest Division's is probably going to move him a little ahead of Darius on some board's, But I think both will be drafted close to other, Just depending on how teams needing DT's see how both players fit in their scheme. A team drafting either one today, Will help their team in this position today.

Hopefully Rd 3 But they have Rd 2 Possibilities

Offensive Linemen:

Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota OT-His combination of size, power, and steady technical improvement suggests a player whose best football is in front of him.

Marcus Mbow, Purdue OT- Mbow is a scheme-diverse lineman with legitimate three-position flexibility, (which SF value's in their players) ,and he brings a a wrestler's mentality to finishing blocks.
