That's how you draft to re-build a D. Lynch should take notes.

AND they just fired their GM/HC and gave up a top 13 in this upcoming draft.

Pierce was dogs**t vs the run, surely wasn't worth 2 1sts. He's Floyd 2.0. From what I saw with Walker it wasn't anything special. Good football player but people in here were trying to call him freaking Parsons or something.

ATL's D gave up more pts per game than SF. While I don't always agree with Lynch and have no problem getting a real GM in here. The Falcons aren't the blueprint lol

I'm not saying ATL is the blueprint at all. I'm saying that even bad teams have good drafts. They nailed that draft. Billy Bowman was making plays before he got injured too. That draft is more to reference what we needed and who we took and who we passed on. Like every other year under Lynch.

Put those 3 guys on the team instead of Mykel, Collins and Stout and our D is much better IMO.

As for Pearce, everyone knows he isn't good vs the run but that's not his job. His job is to get after the QB and he is very good at that. Bryce Huff and Sam O are not good at setting the edge either and Pearce would have been a huge upgrade over them both.

Walker was very good. He will be a nice chess piece and probably more impactful than Mykel Williams.

I really hate to ask but it needs to be asked…

Are either of them minorities?

Clueless fans love empty counting stats and are unable to see the bigger picture.

Multiple comments above already pointed out the flaws above

Those defensive picks were so good the Falcons sucked worse than our D
-HC fired
-GM fired
-Gave up #13 overall pick for a 1 dimensional DE

Would our D be better with those 3 guys or the guys we took?

It would be worse...

The weakness on our D is run stopping

We drafted specifically to fix it (and I liked our draft for that)

You would replace Mykel with Walker
And Alfred Collins with all 240 lbs of James Pearce

Out defense would give uo 200+ rushing yards a game

Yes, and I love it because it benefits the 49ers with a comp pick if they become GMs in other organizations.

That is why I asked.

Lbs and safeties were a bigger issue than the DL.

I think getting Warner back coupled with Martin becoming what folks think he can be coupled with upgrading the FS (at least, maybe both) position should help.

For sure but they actually have to address FS early. Can't be another late 4th or 5th guy.
