2026 NFL Draft April 23-25th

Kyle should pick a Kicker and end our misery.

We need so much - TE, OL, pass rusher. You wonder if we will just take the best player available at these positions.

It will be nice to have Fred Warner and Bosa back next year. Hoping we sign our kicker Eddie.

Would like to see us take BPA C/G with that pick. That's a perfect range to get that sort of player. Followed by a Safety.

My top choices at 27 as we sit here today

Cashius Howell
Emmanuel Mcneil-Warren
Caleb Lomu
Ahkeem Mesidor

Assuming the following players are gone.
Downs
Tate
Bain
Tyson
Beason
Love
Mauigoa
Fano
Bailey
Reese

There are a lot of needs here. We need a strong and fast WR I believe, one that gets separation and gets it quickly. Actually, I would like two of those so Purdy's 3.2 second hold time can drop down to under 3 seconds. I'm not sold on Pearsall that's for sure. Guy has talent, but man, he's hurt a lot. We need OL and DL help right away, and a safety would also help. My fear, they again go after defense and ignore the OL this year thinking that they are just good enough. That worries me a lot. The OL needs upgrading at center and guard. I agree also we need to start looking for Kittle's replacement. I think the Niners are going to sit on that for another year and do that next year, I think. Just a gut feeling. Tonges can catch, and they can use Juke as a blocker as needed until Kittle returns. Farrell, well, we all know how well that worked out. Another contract they front office must be regretting.

Just a lot of needs and they won't hit on every player, no one ever does. Then in free agency I don't expect a top tier player to be brought in, probably players in the upper 1/3 of their position because they'll cost less and can fill a role on this team right now. Maybe a couple of older players. We'll see what their strategy is come March through May.

There's literally an entire forum for this!

But you only get 1 pick at 27 and have to choose. I would go OL. If Brock does not have time we are screwed.

BPA in terms of who we think can be an impact player. I dont care what position. We need so much that focusing on a singular position is a fools errand.

Would love to trade back into the 2nd and pick Omar Cooper Jr and at 58 take Ted Hurst if they both run sub 4.5

Pearce/Doubs in FA

Would go a long way to Seattle not laughing their ass off at our lack of speed and playmakers on the outside and us actually scoring a touchdown or two or three vs them.

Plus since they would be top picks Kyle would actually let them play as rookies.

Grab Ruttledge at G at 92 and Linderbaum in FA and we're getting somewhere on offense.

1. Pearsall
2. Pearce/Doubs
3. Cooper Jr
4. Hurst
5. Watkins
6. Cowing

Williams - Ruttledge - Linderbaum - Puni - McKivitz

Sounds good!

Lot's of differing opinions on what they need and all are correct. Interesting that many feel a WR is the top need when it was the running game that suffered so much. Kyle's offense is built around having a stong running game. The Niners were 5th in passing yardage and 24th in rushing.

WRs not being able to get open killed us vs Seattle. Brock bought a ton of time with his legs and still no one open.

Cooper and Hurst with Pearce/Doubs in FA fixes that and we can still grab a dominant G in the 3rd round and sign Linderbaum at C.

So can fix a lot of things in short order on offense if they decide to attack it early in the draft and FA. Or they could focus on the defense and getting it back to an elite unit which is fine too. Will be very interesting to see what Shanalynch does.
