John Lynch - 49ers GM

Do we need to keep drafting the same position (D-Line) with our first round pick or is this a sign of bad drafting?

I think we need to take BPA, including OL, DB, LB, WR OR whatever position. We don't even need super stars, just studs. Look at what KS did with backups and guys off the street!

John Lynch needs to go. His contract decisions the last few years warrant firing. The Deebo, Aiyuk, Williams, McCaffrey and to a lesser extent Kittle and Juice contracts effing killed us this year.

The team that just won the Super Bowl used the 18th pick on a guard and the 35th pick on a safety. Something we would never do.
If you take the BPA I think in the long run you will be better off. Draft BPA early, need later.

I'm more concerned about the reality that only 3 first round picks by Kyle and Lynch in 9 years are still on the team but then the second reality kicks in that none of them really contributed to this team this year and that 2 of these guys were our last two picks.

He'll be feeling the pressure this offseason. If we don't make any big moves, then this needs to be the best draft of his tenure or he's out IMHO.
The Seattle and LA GMs have lapped this fool. AZ will probably build a SB team before this guy does.

Funny, people said the exact same thing last offseason.

Right

I agree. The old saying is you can never have enough pass rushers. I honestly don't/wouldn't mind the first round pick being d line, as long as they actually HIT on it. Aside that thinking I believe most of us agree just take BPA.

As many picks as we have used on the DL 1st round we should have an alabama peak rotation yet it was one of our weakest positions. WTF
Trade Nick Bosa for draft capital or fire this clown Lynch.

Can we all agree that this guy's inability to draft impact players for the past 3-4 years is finally catching up on us. We are only getting by because of coaching and old core players.
