Yeah braddah I'm a fan of Jacas. This class has so much depth; it would really be a damn shame if we don't dip into it multiple times.

We only have 7 picks ... doubt we go EDGE more than once if at all (depending on FA)

I'd be good with Lawrence/Howell/Young if either one fell to #58.... but that is the ideal spot to draft an immediate starting LG also. But if Lawrence/Howell/Young are on the board at #58 can take one and draft Febechi Unwaiwu at G at #92.

27. Max Iheanachor OT
58. Malachi Lawrence/Cassius Howell/Zion Young EDGE
92. Febechi Unwaiwu G
127. Kendrick Law/Malik Benson/Bryce Lance WR
133. Sam Roush TE
138. Chris McClellan/Landon Robinson/Zane Durant DT
171. Dontay Corleone DT

Welp, looks like the 49ers can't ignore edge now.

Thank god because they shouldn't have before the Huff news either, but probably would have.

First Michael Taffe, Daylen Everette and now Romello Height in for a visit. Could this be the season I get one or two players I like!!!!

Yes

Caleb Banks broke his foot at the Combine.

I think the Osa trade had him as an unlikely target.

lol wasn't he your favorite!!!

Huff retired.

EDGE definitely in play in Round 1 (Mesidor - please trade back 3-6 spots first) or Round 2 (Lawrence/Howell - use a 2027 5th to move up to 52ish to nab one of them) or trade back from #58 to mid 70s/early 80s and grab Jacas. Or use a 4th and grab Max Llewellyn or Romello Height at EDGE.

I'm warming up more and more to Mesidor at #27. No guarantees to get Lawrence/Howell/Young at #58 and the gap is big down to the next tier with guys like Jacas and Height etc.

Mesidor is already a veteran lol at 24 years old and ready to go off the EDGE. And with Huff retiring my primary focus is back on EDGE.

AJ Haulcy at #58 would be interesting as well for our defense to immediately start at FS with Mustapha at SS

#27. Akheem Mesidor EDGE
#58. AJ Haulcy S
#127. Chris McClellan / Landon Robinson DT
#133. Malik Benson WR/PR/KR
#138. Sam Roush / Joe Royer TE
#139. Jalen Farmer G

We really should sign Joey Bosa at EDGE on a budget 1-year deal as well.

All three of those better be for possible 4th rounders as none are 1st or 2nd rd picks (or even 3rd rd picks)

Romello Height has been mocked in the 2nd round. The others 3rd and 4th round.
