Re; needs, it is pretty simple: either Kyle protects JG or he doesn't.. with Talib and Marcus peters, plus darnold plus throw in suh....we better be ready for that. I don't believe Laken and Magnus can handle that. Garnett would have his hands full too.

According to most reports the team thought that Tomlinson improved a lot as the season went on and I will continue to beat the drum for Magnuson until he proves me wrong. Had a Lisfranc injury in the early second quarter of his last game, which he apparently thought was a bad sprain or broken foot, and just had the trainers tape it up tight and he went back in and finished the game. How can you not love that kind of toughness, however nuts it might be. I suspect that the scouting department is working hard going through the list of guards available in the draft and the team will end up picking one or more at some point

But Trenton Brown played through a torn labrum that required surgery and he's fat, lazy and uncommitted. Go WZ! j/k

Yes sir!

Nice to hear Sherman said he'd be ready in a month or two at the latest!

I didn't want to start a new thread but wow 😮

I read more about Dick's achillies heel operation. It's interesting how medical science has progressed. They used to tear open the knee to fix an acl, now it just takes a tiny hole. Same with the achillies. Wait till they start fixing concussions - they'll probably do it though the nose.

LOL!

Here's a couple of our boys staying in shape.

Things to think about when putting your mock drafts together, added to the OP.

Shanahan Draft Tendencies per The Athletic / Synopsis by GoldenJoe

TREND #1: He rarely drafts Offensive players in RD 1
- Over 10 seasons Shanny's teams have drafted 4 offensive players in the first round and only at 2 different positions (OT: Brown and Williams) and QB (RGIII and Manziel)
- We are set at both of those positions

TREND #2: He NEVER drafted RB or TE before RD 3
- Only one offensive player ever picked in RD 2
- Joel Bitonio in 2014 (Browns) is the only time he's selected an O player in the 2nd round
- Generally finds his offensive talent later in the draft

TREND #3: He does draft Offense in RD 3:
- Nine (9) offensive players taken in this round over the last ten (10) drafts
- Finds undervalued players here, it is his sweet spot (notable names: Slaton, Reed, West, Coleman, Hooper)
- Looks for players who are better on tape than their combine measurables
- Very good hit rate here, Niners have picks 70 & 74 here

Tight Ends: The last three TEs drafted by Shanny (Reed, Hooper and Kittle) have all run 40's faster than 4.75 (combine average for TEs), he values athleticism, route running and catching over pass blocking.

Wide Receivers: Shanny has lacked recent success here, most of his best WRs were already drafted (Julio) or through FA (Garcon)

Thanks NC

So maybe CB/DL as our #1?

Perhaps. But Kyle has really only had total control this past year so it's difficult to draw any hard tendencies but some of it seems spot on. Defense the first two picks, offense after that. It matches Bill Walsh's philosophy as well...get talent on defense and coach up the offense.

Curious as to how many picks he had in each round. Using four out of fen first round picks for offense is just one from even.

It will cost about a 3rd round pick to move to 6. I would do that and grab Chubb or Nelson. Elite players are hard to come by. Imagine Chubb on the edge of Nelson solidifying a guard spot.
