s**t, I would push for it, but the haul required to acquire this dude is probably going to be too big ie multiple first round picks and more. Not sure the Niners can afford to do that given that they badly need those picks to continue building out the roster.

Raiders are never dealing with us.

Brady needs to make the deal behind the back of Mark Davis.

Let someone else give 2 firsts for Crosby or whatever they want.

Greg Papa said the Raiders were ready to send us Mack if the Niners sent them Defo, and the Niners said no. It didn't happen because of that, not because they wouldn't do a trade with the Niners. I have no doubt they'd send Crosby to the Niners if they were willing to pay their price.

No argument from me with this. I think early on, they get locked into these traits and the traits dictate where they draft these guys. It's always a nice skillset, but usually does not work out. I love West and Collins, but who else is there? Anderson can be a run stuffer, but he's a bubble guy. If we are going to get to the point where we overwhelm guys with our front four, a pass rushing DT is needed.

The point was to have Williams get pushed inside on those passing downs. Even white is more of an interior rusher. We still need a legit edge across from Bosa and a guy that can still do work when/if Bosa isn't on the field.

I said both though- edge and defensive tackle. Furthermore, how is our interior rush right now? It's a need. We certainly are in no position to turn down using picks on guys that can get the QB.

Would he be effective with this group of DBs? I don't know. I still think they get confused too often on zone coverage and leave guys wide open. Maybe it's just because they're a young group and still learning to play as a unit.

Or maybe it's because our leader Fred Warner is not calling the plays and lining the D up.

Or maybe guys are wide open in zone because the QB has all day to throw and find open guys?

We play zone almost predominantly because we don't want to give up the big play. If we played man with this non-existent pass rush the big plays would be constant vs this D.

Fix the Dline and the whole D is elevated. Plain and simple. Look at every top D and all the past SB winners and they all had a ferocious pass rush.

It's obvious when Pearsall doesn't play how badly we need receivers.

If Jennings lose we will have to add at least 2 high quality receivers.

Less rah-rah, more addressing this OL.

Needs to go imo

Agree. He needs to step down this offseason.

He should be fired. The lack of pass rush (among other deficiencies) has really hurt this team. And trust me, Mykell Williams wasn't going to help. Dude is a run stuffer—that's it.

I said this months ago. Lynch thought he was cute when he openly declared that he was emulating the Rams strategy of drafting all defense this year. The results were horrendous. The Rams acquired instantaneous talent. We nabbed guys who maybe will work out someday, but are simply flashes in the pan right now.

What makes this all so tragic is that we—of course—played well against a poor schedule this season. We aren't contenders, but we were good enough to win a bunch of easy games. The result? We won't sniff a Super Bowl, but we've played ourselves out of the high draft picks that we desperately need. What a kick in the teeth.

f**k off

12-5, hell of a good season for a rebuilding year where we're just trying to offload dead cap money.

Hard pass on moral victories.

same the same s**t literally every year. This dude sucks at drafting and this team is deprived of talent.

Seeing him annoyed pissed me off. He built this.
