I don't know if there is a thread specific to talk about draft strategy or if this thread is the thread for it. But this draft I would love to see the niners do almost the exact opposite of last year. Heavy on offense and for defense a safety and little else. I think if our defense didn't have the injuries they suffered this season it would be solid with the add off a FS with some instinct and range. The offense on the other hand is in need of updates at every position at oline, TE, WR1. RB is a maybe for me. I'm interested on how James looks next year and what the deal with Guerindo is.
any thoughts?

I hate to say it but we really need another EDGE and we need a pass rushing DT….I "like" Collins but it made no sense to take him and West. Collins was a complete projection as a pass rusher and overall it was pretty meh from that point of view…Neither guy is gonna be a straight up interior rusher like we need.

hopefully some stuff can be taken care off via FA. Also imo this isn't the draft to be drafting OTs high.

I don't disagree that we could better help on the dline. But I think if healthy the line looks a lot better than this season. My bigger concern is with the offense next season. Won't have Kittle for most of the season he's getting older and coming off a torn Achilles he is a question mark for me. WR is questionable with an often hurt Pearsall, could lose JJ and basically no one else. RB is a question with how we ran CMC this season and the depth behind him is questionable. Everyone on the oline seams replaceable other than TW, who we need to find his replacement soon. I want offensive upgrades/depth

I think SF goes trade or FA for a vet WR/TE. They kinda have to at this pt.

I don't see RB as a question mark at all. We got 3 RBs on the roster. I also disagree that we have a bunch of replacements at OL minus Trent. They need a LG.
Claiming he "fixed" sh!t but has 2 D+, 1 C+ and only 1 A... A- at that

I know the Ringer is jokes, but their mock has Jeremiyah Love lasting to pick 28, right after us. If he's there do we take him as the eventual CMC replacement? most places compare him to Reggie Bush, who I think would have had a different career if he played in Shanahan's system.

f**k the grades, look at the players! If we had that exact draft it would be the best of this regime; possibly best of all teams in this draft and I would sexually assault myself

Love the players, but there is no chance that McNeil-Warren and Dunker last that long.

Yup, Dunker would be an incredible pick.

Let me dream. They were there so I took them.

Didn't want to reach for TE just to fit that need so just gotta go out and sign Kyle Pitts and Alec Pierce to add to the offense.

For the record I'm fully aware most of those players will be long gone by those picks but they were there and who doesn't love mock draft porn?
How about this big nasty LG Olaivavega Ioane. He may be there at 27.

Improving the OL is always a good way to go. I think he goes before 27 tho.
