I'm not sure quintessential means what you think it does.

4th was too high a pick to spend, but Wish was fine as a P.

"perfectly typical or representative of a particular kind of person or thing"

Like Wish is the quintessential weak legged punter who's a waste of a 4th rd draft pick.

recent drafts are hard to figure, as not much info is in on this years class (that hasn't even played), but this is from 2010-2020

kendall hunter
joe looney
quinton patton
marcus lattimore
bruce ellington
dontae johnson
blake bell
mike davis
deandre smelter
rashard robinson
joe williams
kentavious street

you tell me who you like on this list, this is what round 4 looks like

Or used countless first round picks on the likes of Trey Lance, Aj Jenkins, Kentwan Balmer, Kwame, etc.
Maybe we should've traded 3 first rounders for Wish.

yeah that's another way of looking at it. we got far more use out of wish than we did trey lance. it you want to comp apples to apples, see my list of round 4s from SF. joe williams for example, i don't show he played a single game. so to wring hands and act fussy over a round 4 pick is

Apparently a first rounder for a mediocre weak legged 30 year old punter is OK by you.

Pinion was nothing special. Certainly not worth free agent $.

He wasn't bad would have saved us a 4th round pick

Who cares about a 4th in 2019 six years later in 2025, lol.

Well we've got players like George Kittle, Dre Greenlaw, Jauan Jennings, Deommordore Lenoir, Talanoa Hufanga, and Malik Mustapha to name a few lol

1. We don't have Hufanga or Greenlaw
2. Exceptions that prove the rule. It's hard to get 6+ years out of later round or undrafted picks.
3. Two SB and four Conference championship game appearances during Wish's six seasons with the team. The team drafted pretty well I'd say, though the 2021-2022 returns were below average.

1. Both Greenlaw and Hufanga were quintessential in those championship runs
2. We have multiple players selected in the later rounds hitting or approaching 6+ years

And?

Again I say "A 4th round pick in 2019. Who cares?"

We got six years out of the guy. That's slightly better than your average 4th rounder. It's not worth being up in arms about it in *checks calandar* June 2025.

It's not a huge deal but it's worth criticizing spending a 3rd and 4th on two kickers that have been mediocre. For me I originally felt it was a good idea to reach K/P if they were a top end prospect but if you do, you want 10+ yrs to warrant the draft capital value at that position being drafted that high.

my view is if the club likes you enough to extend you, then you worked out as a pick

You do the best research you can at the time and you draft the guy that makes the most sense to bring in. What happens after that is unpredictable. I just can't be too upset about it not working out. 6 years isn't 10, but it's not 0-1 either. And 4th round or later guys fail to make every team every year and become 0-1 year guys.

That's applicable to every position other than K/P/LS maybe FB if you spend a 3rd round pick on any of those positions and they don't even come close to being a pro bowler let alone an all pro it warrants questioning of their draft slot and the GM
Most pro bowl punters come from bad offensive teams.
WE shoulda picked up Araiza when he got CUT.

Irief you seem really obsessed with Wish. I think you have a secret man crush on him but feel really rejected since he got married. But that is just my opinion. Hope you get over your crush soon now he has been moved on

You're arguing against a fake account set up to whine about a punter.
