Hes not in charge.

I think what we are seeing is that this team has needs, multiple needs still and that they are trying to find some gems in the mid rounds. More picks is more opportunity. I've said this but they have to start finding those gems to replace the aging gems they have on the team right now IF they want to stay competitive down the road. It's a mix. They are built to win now, but I think they still have some glariing needs, especially at left guard and defensive end. I fully expected them to trade back and now let's see what they do with those picks. They need to nail I'd say at least 2 if not 3 very good players that will become cornerstones over time and I'd say a DE who can play and contribute now and a LG that will compete for the position and hopefully win it and be our starter for awhile at that position. They kicked LT down the road by resigning Trent.

Lynch is on the clock. NFC foes Eagles, Dallas and Giants hit home runs in the first round. Those teams got so much better.

I think this is a defining draft for Lynch. If he strikes out again. He's got to go.

They just created $11m more in space with an Osa salary conversion.

hmmmmmm

lol we have no idea who's having a good draft cause we don't know how these guys will be.

90% of these dudes will be absolute busts, statistically.

Let the draft shake out and evaluate it as the seasons go on.

No way?? Sweet. We have a ton of cap, which I'm sure most will roll over to next year.

I still think we sign or trade for a pass rusher.

Clearly we are getting Myles Garrett

Highly unlikely. Anyway, it's been a while since Dallas and the Giants were serious foes.

I think it's Maxx Crosby.

Couldn't care less about the 5th year option. We've used it once in 10 years and McGlinchey was gone right after. Players these days generally just don't last until their 5th year without producing and demanding a new contract or not producing and getting moved on. If they get a 5th year it's because they're somewhere in the middle playing inconsistent but showing flashes.

We gave up pick 92 for Osa, and still ended up with the 90th pick anyway. If someone had offered this trade pre-draft I would have absolutely taken it.

30th, 90th, Osa
27th, 92nd, 138

Now we can talk about value of the trade down from 30-33, but again, the 5th year means little to me personally so I view it differently. A free 5th (which we usually do well with) in exchange for trading down to 33 - a spot where there will be players we like - I can live with that.

Of course this is all dependent on what we do with the picks. No point nailing the foreplay if you can't bring it home for the finish.

Not to mention that the fifth-year option is even less important for a position like guard because it loops them in with tackles. Nobody wants to pay a guard tackle money.

With indications pointing to the 49ers targeting a guard with their first selection, the trade backs were fantastic decisions, especially given that the guy who is likely their target, Chase Bisontis, is right there for them to take at 33. Things couldn't have worked out better for them tonight if that's the plan, which I fully believe it is./

lol

This needs to be chiseled in Granite and placed at the start of every Draft day thread

Also going to compare he drafts to teams with multiple firsts picking high in the draft...ok

Yeah that felt disingenuous to me.
