I liked Jarrett Kingston, and he was quickly poached once ShanaLynch put him on the practice squad. Keeping him would have put our 2024 draft on a better footing, in my opinion. I agree that we might have an overload of talent on the offensive line, but that's a good problem to have, and not a bad one. We translated an overabundance of Linebacker talent into a 5th round pick that translated into a younger, bigger, faster KJ Wright (Jaden Duggar) by trading Dee Winters. Hopefully, maybe, if ShanaLych gets into a Jarrett Kingston rookie OLineman situation, they would opt for a trade (or cutting a veteran free agent) instead of putting the rookie on the practice squad.
Toth is an interesting prospect, I look forward to seeing how he blends in with the current OLine squad that we have. Between him being a depth piece versus a talented rookie - I'd rather keep a rookie OLineman though.
Something about Duggar just stands out to me. I think he's going to be an absolute stud after a year or so. He's a perfect fit for Morris's scheme, IMO.
yeah, it's a good problem to have but still a problem. Kyle usually rolls with experience. He might not let the young guys play in the pre season. Hahaha so teams can't see how they look. We'll probably keep 10 o line.
it'll be interesting if keep a 3rd qb on the active roster
I really like all our 2026 draft picks. I think - if all things go right with this draft class - it could be the best draft class in Kyle's career. After Adam Peters left, I think they changed a lot of what they did in the draft evaluation process. Just my opinion, but when he left, I think the 49ers started drafting better.
Usually problems have one or more solutions - hopefully one of those solutions results in more draft picks.But to your point, I think Kyle's going to go with what his position coaches say to him. I think he trusts Foerster enough to allow a rookies to play (Conner Colby) and same with KJ Wright regarding Duggar if he can beat out Greenlaw (god forbid if Greenlaw gets dinged too). 49ers played a lot of rookies and 2nd year players last year, sometimes by choice, sometimes forced by injuries. We'll see what happens, but I'm jazzed by the fact that they are one year (or more) ahead in the franchise rebuild/reload process.
I hope so. Seems like they're less focused on "Draft Value" and keen on "get the guy we want right now cause he might be gone soon". Which TBH, I agree with to an extent. You have to factor in that there are 31 other teams draft boards, different schemes, different needs, different drafting strategies across the league. it's impossible to guess whos' going where.
I firmly believe in taking a guy that you love, and believes fits exactly what you're looking for, over "draft value". but within reason. You don't take a 5th rounder in the first, kind of thing.
This year, the team really seemed be like "eff it" and pushed that. lol either that or their board drastically varied from most peoples outside of the org.
overall, I hope it works out. would be wonderful to have 3 straight drafts where we get a lot out of them. We don't have a ton of "needs" right now but addressed some important ones, while building for the future.
I'm very intrigued by the huge corner and Dugger. those two seems like they could be a huge part of this defense, especially with how large they are, over the next 2 years. they just need some coaching up.
I also remember some TE in some NFC championship game missing another block and pretty much ending the season of the 262nd pick in the draft that year.
