* Coverage S. Who needs one? Ignore button.
* Offensive line. Who needs it? Late picks or ignore button.
But lots of fancy shifts and motions. Unfortunately it won't overcome this. This doesn't even include the 3 first rounders for Trey Lance. Which was a catastrophe. Just too many holes in the armor. If all you bring is shifts and motions and are a catastrophe at everything else that's a big problem.
A little early in the day to be hitting the sauce.
No sauce involved in this. Just cold hard truth about Shany and his failed regime. You will never win like this.
Don't know about sauce but you do understand that's not how drafts work right? Things change. Teams draft BPA(or at least what they consider that to be)
Injuries aren't something you can project. Especially when you go out of your way to draft guys who don't have injury history anymore. Pearsall never missed a game in college. Mykel only dealt with one injury and played through it unlike many others who would've missed a lot more time.
Mykel was drafted because they felt he was the BPA and gave them versatility on the DL and to start gave them an edge who was going to improve a terrible run defense - he did that in a big way until his injury. How about the fact that Bryce Huff retired from football? Pretty obvious why we have a need there if we keep losing players either via FA or retirement.
Evans and Kirk are both old. We selected Pearsall when we had what we figured was a prime Brandon Aiyuk and still at least expected a year or two of Deebo. Were the Seahawks hitting the sauce when they drafted JSN even though they already had DK and Lockett?
Coverage S was a need. I'm sure who they had available wasn't a good enough fit for them to pull the trigger. I have no doubt that if Thieneman was there at 27 we'd draft him.
All that complaining and the team just went 12-5 despite missing some of our best players and going into the season expecting Aiyuk to contribute. Clearly those fancy shifts and motions are doing something right. Not sure why you're even bringing up Trey Lance 5 years later. We've moved on, you should try it.
Wait, did SD say Shanny and his failed regime? Man, I didn't know going to what 4 NFC Title games(right we did go to 4, the two we were in SB, plus the loss to PHI & LAR), and then 2 SBs, plus countless 10+ win seasons, Playoffs nearly every year since 2019, except 2020 & 2024 seasons, yeah I don't see how he's failed, sure we haven't won a title, yet ppl think Harbaugh was a success and he went to one SB, lost it, idk how many NFC TItle games we went to and lost, what 2? SEA & NYG? Suire his tenure was short, but he had a huge ego, as well as Baalke, but damn, I don't see how Shanahan has failed, do ppl really wish we went back to the dark ages, when we have the likes of Erickson, Nolan, Kelly, & Tomsula HC or Baalke, McCloughan, & Jesus I forget who was GM under Erickson, was it Walsh? I seriously can't remember that long ago, I was like between 18-20yrs old, I'm now 42 almost.
I get why ppl aren't happy with Lynch's drafting, we do need to do better in the 1st-3rd rds, but damn, we've gotten plenty of talent from every round, Bosa, Kittle, Warner, Brock, McKivitz(whether you like him or not he's a top 10 RT, and the league lacks quality OL), DMo, Hufanga(sure he left but he was too expensive IMO for basically what we have/had in Brown & Mustapha), Dre, Jauan(Sucks but he overpriced himself, and should have taken the $15M APY deal), Burford(Not great but he started plenty of games), DJ Jones(Again he outpriced himself), Stout, Green, Puni, Mustapha, Brown(Not great but he's decent IMO), Winters, Bethune, even Aiyuk & Deebo were fine till they went all diva, West, Collins, Colby, players like that have upside, plus trades for Trent, CMC, UDFA/SFAs like Tonges, Breida, Mason, Bourne, Moseley, Sam O, among others.
Jury is still out on Pearsall, Mykel, Martin who all have tremendous upside, plus I do like the players we got in the draft, despite the RB pick, and the stupidness of a consensus board.
And sure he made some stupid picks & trades, Buckner, Kinlaw, Thomas(even though he was consensus top 10 pick despite that being a bogue thing IMO), Foster(I blame Saban for lying to us about him), Lance, Hurd, TDP, Sermon, Williams, Gray, Jackson, but I won't look at late round picks who didn't work out as most of those guys are unlikely to actually work out, I know the Malcolm Smith, Kwon Alexander, & Jerick McKinnon FA signees weren't great, but Ward was a great one, so was Juice.
So while I get ppl being upset, I mean look at all 32 GMs and teams, not everyone hits on every pick, trade, and signing, hell before the JSN draft the Seahawks weren't doing good, Rams also whiffed on a ton of picks, but because they won 1 SB everyone is all over them as if they're the best thing ever, yes Howie Roseman is the best GM in the NFL, I agree with that, but beyond the Eagles, Rams, Seahawks, Chiefs, I'm not sure who else would be better than the 49ers at drafting, FA and trades, I mean c'mon, Cowboys finally had a good looking draft, but how many bad picks have they had before, NE under Belicheck, or how bad the Raiders have been, Cards, so many bottom feeder teams are horrible, sure the Jets had a good looking draft, but they can't develop for s**t, at least Shanny has shown he can get the best out of his players, especially low rounders and UDFAs and low cost signings, hell look at teams who have went nuts in FA, Vikings in 2025, they didn't do jack, released Allen & Hargrave from last years class, all these top tier FAs who got overpaid, they hardly ever work out, plus at least under Lynch we've given out extensions and good deals, like Brock, Kittle(x2), Warner(x2), Trent(x3), CMC(x2), while Baalke didn't do jack extension wise, except Bowman but that didn't turn out good, nor was the Vance McDonald extension, or FAs, one of his biggest gets was Zane Beadles, yeah not great IMO, not sure how he got another GM job after 2016.
And I'm looking at FA and extensions from a money standpoint and how they did afterwards, yes the Deebo & Aiyuk ones were bad, but those who were good outweigh the bad ones big time, and I think our FA class this yr was strong, getting Evans for $14M APY, Dre on a 1yr $6.5M deal, Hobbs on a 1yr $3.5M deal, Lowe on a cheap 2yr $4.625M APY deal, Kirk on a 1yr $3M deal, plus he traded a 3rd(92nd) for Osa, while the Bengals gave up the 10th pick for Dexter Lawrence, who is close to 30, and they gave him a 1yr $28M extension, while Osa makes $20M APY, and IMO is a better pass rushing IDL than Dexter is, but that's my opinion.
So yeah, while not amazing, John isn't anywhere as bad as the majority of the NFL GMs, and Shanny is a top 5 HC, so they're a top 5 HC/GM duo IMO, and I wouldn't want anyone else, as any other team, outside of like 8-10 would want Kyle as the teams new HC IMO.
