Offseason Post #1 2019 - Thoughts on the off-season so far...

Marvin49 · 2019-04-03T12:19:03-07:00

Hey all!! Just decided to stop in, say hello, and post my thoughts on whats transpired this off-season. As always, feel free to ignore entirely as I'm sure many will. :D 1) QB: Obviously, Jimmy G is the man, but I was happy to see they didn't trade Mullens. I don't know if that were ever a possibility, but if he's as good as he played late last year, He is great insurance for Jimmy, he's got a few years left on that rookie deal, and his value will likely only go up. I think its pretty clear though that CJs days are numbered. Surely people still attack the pick to begin with, but IMO you can't destroy the pick of CJ and at the same time ignore the FA find in Mullens. Draft is a crap shoot. You certainly won't hit on all and its best to simply ignore draft position and just see what players come through for you regardless of original draft position. 2) Dee Ford: I mean clearly it depends on which Dee Ford we get, but on the surface of it I really like it. This tram has needed an edge rusher for a really long time and at no time was in more apparent than late in games last year. They needed that Leo position BADLY. He fits the bill pretty perfectly. It kinda reminds me of when the Seahawks signed Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett. Cliff Avril to me was an overrated Speed rusher from Detroit. Bennett I though a flash in the pan. WOW was I wrong. Those guys tormented the 49ers for years. Ford is perfect in that Avril role and as for the Bennett role.... 3) Nick Bosa: We don't yet know if Bosa is the guy, but I really hope he is. Its funny...All of the sudden when I watch analysis of him online I see stuff like, "when maybe is isn't that great". "He isn't an elite athlete and that's a top pick". "He isn't the fastest guy". "He's got a great motor and he has elite hands, but...". Right. If HE isn't worthy of a top pick, then who is? Q Williams? Right. I really like the guy and if Q is the pick, so be it, but people act like somehow he's a surer bet than Bosa and that's ludicrous. Moreover, its not a position of need. It reminds me of the Manning/Leaf debate many years ago. Manning: Finished Product. Already reached his ceiling. Leaf: Much better athlete. Much higher upside. Yeah. OK. I'm not suggesting Q will be Leaf, but whenever I read that a guy has already reached him max potential, I keep looking at the players who they said that about and how they played in the league. I wan't Bosa. I want to fix the Pass Rush THIS YEAR. I want to see Solomon Thomas playing Inside all and make people figure out who the hell you double....Ford, Buckner, Bosa, or Thomas. 4) WR: I feel like pick #36 is reserved for whatever WR is left to pick, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them move up into the bottom of the 1st round to take a guy Kyle really likes. Who do I like? I'm all about AJ Brown. I think he has the potential to be a superstar in Kyles Offense. Having said that, I could also see Parris Campbell or Deebo Samuel, who couldn't be more different from each other, but I think both would be good. Both of those guys would be good after the catch, but with very different styles. Kyle is great at getting guys into space. As for Free Agents/Trade? I NEVER thought Antonio Brown was an option. Never. There was a time they were looking for veteran leadership. Guys like Elvis Dumervil or Pierre Garcon. That time is over. They didn't need an expensive, aging vet who just had a personality conflict with his previous team. That is not their MO. Beckham? I think they wanted him bad, but were right to not let the 2nd pick go without getting #6 in return. Matthews? Honestly, I'm not convinced at this point he even makes the team. 5) Kwon: I ain't gonna lie. I was a bit shocked at that signing, but I don't hate it. I see what they are doing. You gotta ignore the $$$ as its pretty much Monopoly money in the grand scheme. Its just the way the business works. It seems like they are almost looking at a Jacksonville model with those LBs who just so happen to run the same defensive scheme. :D I know, what a coincidence. :) It does though highlight the Reuben Foster mistake, and I think we can call it that. It sucks because the dude has so much ability, but I really don't think the team had a choice here. They made a team rule, he broke it. Bye. 6) Tevin Coleman: Didn't see that one coming at all. Love. It. 7) Jason Verrett: That's a real nice roll of the dice. I mean its possible that he'll just never be able to stay healthy. Its also possible its just been an extraordinary string of bad luck. I mean Frank Gore tore ACLs in back to back years in College and that dude is STILL playin'. One year deal, Scheme fit, Very Good player when healthy, what the hell? 8) Safety: This one I don't get...and it isn't the failure of the 49ers to sign one that has me confused. Its the fan base insistence that they so desperately needed one. Yeah, Earl Thomas would have been nice, but was that really necessary? The 49ers secondary struggled badly last year, but alot of that can be helped with improved pass rush and more importantly, Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't the only 49er who got hurt last year. At this point last year, everyone was singing the praises of Adrian Colbert. He did struggle a bit before being lost for the year, but that guy is still on the team. So is Jimmie Ward. So Is Jaquiski Tartt. So is Marcell Harris. The real issue last year for me was injury and the CB opposite Sherman. Between Verrett, Witherspoon, Moore, and a greatly improved pass rush, I never saw Safety as a huge need position this off-season. 9) Arizona: Methinks they've just gotten way to frustrated with Russell WIlson and figured they needed their own Hobbit QB. In all seriousness though, I have alot of questions about Murray, but Wilson and Murray would highlight the 49ers need for speed on D. Dee and Kwon make alot of sense. 10) Draft: Is it draft time yet?
