With that said, lynch didnt do enough to address the defense during the FA period
They signed Kwon Alexander, traded for Ford and signed Verrett, you're not going to fix all the issues in one year. I'm guessing next year they dedicate the draft to the secondary and any upgrades needed on the OL.
Just when I think Lynch is finally pulling off a decent draft he pulls a head scratcher in round 3. So many good players left on the board, to pick a player that might not even be draft with a top 67 pick is crazy. Then again marijuana is now legal in CA. Maybe he had an edible and thought he was in round 7
Interesting pick. Was actually hoping after Bosa we would go with a second tight end to run an O similar to the Pats when they had Gronk and Hernandez. That's the feel I'm getting from them selecting Hurd.

He has the juice to run routes and get consistently open. He is as raw as sushi right now in his footwork, but for a team that is patient, they might have a really good number two WR in about three years. He just needs a LOT of work.
This makes him a day 3 pick not a high 3rd rounder especially with more pressing needs and given we took Samuel with a high 2.
Don't be surprised if Mathew's is the odd man out. Although surprised, Hurd is an intriguing pick. Running back skills with a record of success and learning to become a receiver. Just think if you have Pettis, Samuel, Goodwin, Taylor on the perimeter and Hurd lined up in the back field. Hurd can run effectively. How do you defend that?
I think they carry one less RB than last year. No need to have Morris, Wilson etc anymore
We can get a short yardage back, a wr, a hybrid......an OW.....offensive weapon. If the guy played RB he is going to be a beast with the YAC. I like the versatility. He's like a cordarrelle patterson for us.
We get a guy with size.......what's not to like? Yes we got Deebo.....but we need more weapons.
