Who knows with Raheem Morris coming in, but I think the IDL would definitely be targets in previous years. Kyle Louis is definitely their type of LB, too.

Hope we grab Kyle Louis

Adam Randall. Robert Henry Jr. Those jumps'll do gentlemen. Those jumps'll do.

CB2: D'Angelo Ponds
NCB: Derrick Rivers

I think we pivot off the undersized players for awhile…Where is Takeo Spikes when u need him? LOL.

While this draft class is showing to be fast as f**k in their underwear. Is there a free site that shows their GPS speed in games?

We need to start getting some predictions on who will be the 49ers' WTF pick because we all know it's going to be one of those at 27.

"WTF this guy is projected to go in round 3!!"

My pick is Germie Bernard. He's my Ricky Pearsall.

That's a good one. He's definitely their type, and I think he tested decent enough for them to convince themselves into it.

Mine is Skyler Bell.

I can also see the 9ers falling in love with Bell due to his speed and contested catches he makes. Watch him be paired up with Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

It's too early to start a 2027 prospect thread, and I don't know where else to put this, but it needs to be said:

A'mauri Washington might have the nuttiest get-off I've ever seen. (only slightly hyperbolic here)

Oregon D will be fun to watch next year, he is a beast

Thoughts?


I could get down to this…if we do some work in FA on the defense

Cooper and Pregnon round 1 and 2 would be a homerun. Both plug and play starters at arguably our two biggest needs.

Stowers in round 3 isn't exactly Latu level but he wouldn't be my first choice there. I'd honestly think strongly about doubling up on OL and taking Dunker. LT Overton and Keith Abney would also be very strong picks there IMO.

Hell yes I could get down with this.

The first two picks are the best possible outcome for us IMO.

At 92 I'd double up at WR and go Kendrick Law to pair with Cooper Jr and Pearsall, but would be fine with Stowers as I like the player.

But getting Cooper Jr and Pregnon seals the draft and Lynch will finally not be busting on early picks like we have grown accustomed to.

Dunker likely is gone at 92 but at 58 I've been mocking Dunker to us after taking Cooper Jr in the 1st as assuming Pregnon doesn't fall to 58. Dunker also played OT so he could be used as depth there if Trent or McKivitz went down. Add Trey Zuhn C at 171 and we're golden as he has experience playing OT, G, and C.

27. Cooper Jr WR
58. Gennings Dunker G/OT
92. Kendrick Law WR
127. Zane Durant DT
133. Sam Roush TE
138. Max Llewellyn/Keyron Crawford/Nadame Tucker EDGE
171. Trey Zuhn C

Both Cooper Jr and Law are very physical at WR and willing to block and both provide lots of YAC. Paired with Pearsall and adding Roush at TE who also is a fantastic blocker and Dunker starting at LG and our run game should get back to being explosive. And then we can all pray Zuhn develops quickly and takes over for Brendel sooner than later.

I see no point in drafting Dunker if you get Pregnon. IMO he's a IOL at the next level. Also I think the person/vibes is pushing him up the boards more than the player. Doesn't mean he won't improve, the film is up and down though.
