Filled some holes on defense while also acquiring extra picks, well done. But now get some playmakers on offense, please and thank you.

you still need a corner and a safety in my opinion and another linebacker would not hut

No no no, the old Baalke Brigade argued until they were blue in the face about how solid his DB picks were, they had the PFF grades to "prove" it.

Seriously of course they need secondary help, but FFS thanks to the aforementioned moron Baalke this team of ZERO playmakers struggles to gain 300 yds and score 20 points...D is a work in progress but has been improved, now some attention needs to be paid to the offense.

This will be his true test. Even Baalke didn't f**k up getting Buckner. The offense selections will prove his worth.

Trying to track down the teams that might have competed with Bears for the second pick and have not found one--Jets never called 49ers

If they conjured this trade out of thin air, I am not sure if I will be in awe or worried...on one hand holy s**t, on the other if word gets out that you lied?

From what I've heard over the years, yes getting caught BS'ing another team in that kind of way is frowned upon heavily and can have a negative impact down the road in making other deals, with agents, etc.

But I have a hard time believing that a guy who seems to be a straight shooter like Lynch would scam a team like that, especially on the first deal of his first draft.

Of course I want a hard-hitting, ball-hawking, QB-killing defense...but in today's NFL you have to at least be mildly competent on offense and the Niners aren't even at that level. Liking what we've seen so far from Lynch, I'm betting he does get a few toys for Shanahan.

I read somewhere that it was the Bears who panicked themselves. They got phone calls from other teams about their pick and reasoned that these teams must also have phoned the Niners. Personally I don't care what Lombardi thinks.

It is starting to look like Lynch is the face of the franchise.

Shanahan seems to take a back seat to him w/public and press.

Is this good, bad or not matter?

I think you can count on them getting a RB that fits Shanahan's scheme well, a QB and a WR somewhere with the remaining picks, it won't just be an all defense draft.

If they snagged Nathan Peterman, Kareem Hunt and Carlos Henderson I'd be pretty content.

Got a few offensive guys in Free Agency so how do we know what this offense looks like when we haven't even seen these players play in this offense?

You are right, we still have plenty of picks to help out on offense.
