I always welcome another defensive line prospect but that should be limited to late day 2 and FA.

They aren't taking a guard in the first.

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.

Just sign someone. There's consistently decent safeties available in FA

This would be the best FA play. You can get a high quality player for very little.

We need every help we can get but I would go for a TW successor in the first place too/rather.

He'd better be able to play guard. Can't afford a player in first that isnt starting or contributing a ton.

And again we haven't needed top end safety play to have a top 10 D. It's always been about the DL and then LBers. We've suffered tremendously with injuries in both spots, which has exposed the safeties.

Go look at the safety rankings on PFF, I think there's only 3 1st rd picks in the top 20.

it's simply not a position you use a 1st on unless it's some ridiculous talent or far an away BPA.

Who said they had to take one in 1st? You are talking 3rd or later.

The 9ers haven't shown the ability to consistently land good safeties in the later rounds. Corners either.

People consistently talk about needing a dominant o line to win a ring when the two times we lost in the sb it's because the dbs blew coverages on big plays. Had a pop up pick our safety dropped that likely gets us in a 3rd SB, nevermind the poor coverage in the game to start with.

Seattle sure isn't regretting the Emmanwori pick.

Emmanwori is a beast. We need one of those ASAP

Draft is not for immediate success (only), it's rather mid- to long-term

Also I'm not saying don't take a safety in the 2nd, I'm saying this team needs other pieces that matter more than safety. Dude is gonna have to be far and away BPA imo.

I mean if there's an OT sure, from everything I've read and seen this isn't a great OT group at the top. Also sounds like Trent is gonna be back TBD though.

I mean BA is done here, they absolutely need a legit WR preferably a X

Back then when we got Pearsall, some were scratching their head bc some ppl think in short term only.
Now we got almost nothing at WR. Dear "experts", what would we have done without him this season?
But but but. No but, there is always an injury risk and there are contract talks (back then with BA, last and next off season with JJ and you got salary cap issues like Deebo).

I would agree if principle. But when you have a lot of needs like 9ers do you need to prioritize having a starter be taken.

Also as NY has said it's a lackluster group. Is there a guy you like in particular or just want the position drafted regardless?

WR is a little different than OT imo. You got two starters and they don't rotate. Sure you can push the rookie inside but at that point you've invested in a OG with high end capital for a couple yrs, kinda kills the value of a rookie deal.

We will see I'm all for BPA at a high impact position…also I will disagree that we don't need another legit EDGE.

Disagree

Disagree that linebackers and safeties were a bigger issue.

Our DLine is atrocious. Nick Bosa can mask some of that and Mykel was good as an edge setter but this current DLine with 20 sacks on the year and little to no pressure is a MASSIVE problem.

We can have multiple Patrick Willis' and Ed Reeds in the back end and it wouldn't matter one single bit.

Sam O
Bryce Huff
Keion White
YGM
Clelin Ferrell
Kalia Davis
Jordan Elliot
rookie CJ West
rookie Alfred Collins

All have no buisness getting significant snaps. They are all backup level players and the only 4 guys who deserve to be here next year are Huff as a nickle rusher only, Sam O as a backup, Collins as a two down run stuffer and West as a backup NT.

It's a massive failure by Lynch.

The softest team in the league has piles of injuries again. Hamstrings and ankles like usual.

We will probably be down to Eric Kendricks, Garrett Wallow and Curtis Robinson at Lb.

16 missed tackles. Tons of mis read plays. Not saying the d line was good but they weren't to blame for 3rd and 17.

Watch the Rams and compare their play in postseason to Seattle and Philly defensively.

16 missed tackles 10 yards downfield.

How can't the Dline be blamed for 3rd and 17? Uh maybe because Huff got blown up, couldn't set the edge and the RB was 10 yards downfield before he was touched.

I don't know how you can argue this. It's common basic knowledge. No LBer or S will have success playing behind a DLine like we started this year.
Patrick Willis is ready right?
