For what it's worth, the #49ers did have a real and legitimate offer for someone to come to No. 2 yesterday. #Bears offer was best value.

I think we go with a RB if we pick offense day two. Shanahan will want to take pressure off Hoyer and will want to recreate the RB combo he had in Atlanta.

They could get crazy and move into the second for Kizer but I hope not. I think RB or CB will be the next pick. Our TE group could be bolstered via free agency. If at all. Barnidge makes sense.

If we move back into the second I see us going after a pass catching RB. A guy like Alvin Kamara. Or we could get a bruiser like Mixon. Lynch doesn't seem to be afraid of players with some baggage but Mixon may be too much.

If we can land Cook that would be great but it would cost too much to move up that high. I see us taking Kamara or the best available CB.

Reported we're looking for a TE tonight...we'll see a ton of good prospects. I'm on the hunt bandwagon. Like kamara but he's gonna go high imo

The 49ers are thinking hard about drafting a TE today. Kyle Shanahan picked Jordan Reed with the Redskins in round 3. SF needs a playmaker

Gerald Everett has been connected to the 49ers throughout this process.

Nice. I thought Evan Engram might be a guy we would target before the Giants snagged him. Everett is a similar matchup nightmare. I thinK Shanahan will want that type of piece in the passing game, as well as a versatile RB/WR like Curtis Samuel.

I'd keep an eye on these names . We're 2/2 for drafting guys we had a pre-draftvisit with. These are the guys that we visited with that could be there at 66/67:

51 Ahkello Witherspoon CB
66 Dion Dawkins G
69 Dan Feeney G
70 Julie'n Davenport OT
72 Tim Williams Edge
77 Kareem Hunt RB
78 Carlos Henderson WR
87 Teez Tabor CB
88 Nathan Peterman QB

Biggest concern with Everett? 8.5 inch hands. That's entering Presidential territory

The point is they didn't need to. He was gonna be there at #3 for them anyway.

Honestly they didnt know that...lynch said we were open for business. More than one team could have wanted Mitch including the browns.

Lynch said himself that there were other offers for the pick. Even if you think he's a liar, the Bears gave up very little to get their QB.

I expect to see some offense in the coming rounds, however, I have more confidence than some in the guys we picked up in FA. Those guys, along with a coach that can scheme mediocre players into decent talent, will make the offense average at least. We discussed Hoyer ad nauseum in the QB thread, but let's just remember he had four very good games with Chicago before injury. The guy is not chopped liver.

Good point. Free Agency was mostly devoted to improving the offense, so I figured the draft would be more slanted toward improving the defense.. None of the offensive guys we signed are elite players or anything, Garcon clearly being the best of the bunch, but they fit what Shanahan wants to do and he will scheme up some success on that side of the ball. Defense needed a serious infusion of toughness and speed. They got that with Thomas and Foster.
