Kyle going to be beside himself as this guy ain't making it to 27 if he runs an anticipated sub 4.55 and blocks like that.

After seeing that he is Kittle on steroids I mean damn. I'd be ok parting with a 2027 3rd (which is about what it would cost) to move up to 22 to take him if he even falls that far as he is damn near a like for like replacement of Kittle when Kittle is gone and Kittle a HOFer. How do you pass on that potential if he falls to 20-22.

Concepcion is really good and all but hands are average and don't think he is going to block with this kind of effort so if we did trade up in front of Philly to take Sadiq or Concepcion I hope it is for Sadiq.

Thanks for sharing!

One thing is for certain; our entire offense and run game works at a different level when Kittle is playing, mainly our run game. When he is out we can't move the ball.

Sadiq has been compared to Kittle and it shows. Imagine having two of them on the field at the same time.

He is also an elite receiver and will demand attention for defenses. Im not sure there is a better receiver in the draft than him when we pick at 27. Maybe Conception but he can't block. I like Denzel Boston but I don't think he will be available.

He is worth a trade up if Kyle was in love with the guy. Otherwise I'd prefer to stand pat and draft McDonald or Boston (if he runs fast).

I'm with you.

1- Denzel Boston (Likely won't be available)

2- Kayden McDonald (His draft stock will rise as the draft approaches. Probably won't be available)

3- Kenyon Sadiq (I could see a team taking him top 20)

4- KC Conceptions (Lots of receiver needy teams in the 20's

1- Denzel Boston (Likely won't be available) - if runs sub 4.50 he is gone by our pick. If 4.50-4.55 he could be there at #27.

2- Kayden McDonald (His draft stock will rise as the draft approaches. Probably won't be available) - Tyleik Williams was slightly better than McDonald and was drafted at #28 last year. McDonald has a semi-decent shot to fall down to us mainly because the Chargers, Eagles, and Bills good chance they go WR and drop McDonald into our laps.

3- Kenyon Sadiq (I could see a team taking him top 20) - if he runs sub 4.55 I don't know how the guy is not a top 15 pick and def top 20.

4- KC Conceptions (Lots of receiver needy teams in the 20's - yeah don't think he makes it through those WR needy teams to #27

Agree all four of those guys may be gone by 27.

McDonald has the best chance to make it to us and I wouldn't complain. Shanalynch have preached the foundation of the team is building an elite DL well let's get another top talent like this guy to pair with Collins and West from last year and let's see if anyone can run on us anymore with Bosa McDonald Collins Williams on 1st and 2nd downs with the two in the middle taking on double teams and Warner and Winters/Martin free to attack the football.

Hell I could argue that a guy like McDonald paired with Collins makes Dee Winters automatically a better LB and upgrades what we could see from him next year.

But this is a Sadiq thread and if he fell to 20-22 and Shanalynch parted with a 2027 3rd to move up I'd be stoked all the same.

The "we won't need this position in round 1" is the type of mindset that got us behind Seattle.

We need good players because our roster is full of mid-tier guys but lacks the elite talent that Seattle has.

If Sadiq is available at 27 we should get him. Heck if he is available around 20 we should trade-up for him. Last year I wanted Tyler Warren and that would have been a good pick even with Kittle on the team.

Stop drafting for need in round 1.

Facts. Id love a DE or OL in round 1. But player to player, Sadiq is a game changer. Never figured we had a shot so I didn't bother looking at him much. It would be a homerun pick and a great start to the draft.

I still need to sit down and watch Sadiq's tape, but from what I've heard about him, this seems like the type of talent you dream of having against a guy like Emmanwori. The Niners' are in an arms race against Seattle. They need elite athletic firepower like right now. If that's what he is, you can't pass on that.

Hard to see him lasting to even 20 for us to trade up.

Anything more than a 2027 3rd is too much to trade.

But on the board at 20 and we should start making calls for sure.

He won't be there but you're right. He absolutely should be the pick and we should take the best guy on the board.

They did that when they took JSN with DK and Lockett there and while i didn't love him going there I thought it was a bad pick for them because they had those guys. Egg on my face big time on that one.

i havent done a deep dive into him ill take more of a look after combine but he doesnt even have 1000 career scrimmage yards so im not sure how that constitutes a trade up and it isn't like he hasn't had a good qb . But like i said i haven't looked at him yet

He would be the first player taken in first round without 1000 scrimmage yards out of all skill positions

it really depends on FA. We need new starters for sure on WR, S, and LG (Burford and Bartch are FA). I would also put DL depth as a bigger need but that can be filled with day 2 and day 3 draft picks

I think TE would be a bit of a luxury pick. He is a good player but he wont be BPA either

I can't see anyone better at 27. I also can't see 26 guys better than him. Nor a guy at 27 that could do more in year 1.

I'm a little gun shy on Sadiq. The Niners haven't had great luck with offensive players from Oregon.

I'm blanking. I can only remember LaMichael James. What other offensive players were from Oregon? Surely it can't be Jordan James. Its year 1.

welp, we don't have spend our time with this guy anymore because there's no chance he's going to be around at 27 after his performance at the combine.

Damn. Im caving. Just when hes out of reach. Just dont be a f**king ram.

Was never a reality
