RB Elijah Mitchell Thread

I know. He's a gem, in the 6th round for sure. Hate to lose Adam Peters if he's the guy that picked Elijah. Hope Mitchell comes into 2022 season ripped like Deebo. Deebo had some injury issues early in his career, and now it looks like those have been overcome. Hope Mitchell does the same. He's a beast on the ground.

I'm pretty sure he was a draft crush of Kyle's.

And we didn't even use him in the pass game, something people say he's even better at then running it. Complete fkn stud and to think he was our last pick

Elijah and Ambry - two total steals of the draft.

A lot of people s**t'n on Ambry early in the year just because it wasn't his turn to start. Zone gonna Zone

Ambry is going to be a really important player in this next divisional game. He has to go one on one with the best WR corps in the NFL - IMO - and win.

I know everyone is in love with this kid and for good reason. He is as tough as nails but vision wise he misses a lot of lanes on the stretch play which would be real big gains. Something Mostret and Wilson did but just couldn't stay healthy. Maybe Wilson gets a few carries and pops a couple this Sunday.

I have a gut feeling that Peters is the head decision maker on picks after the 4th round.

Such a far cry from what people were saying week 1

I think its a collective decision- or i should say- they collectively rank the draft boards, but ultimately the guys who pull the trigger are Kyle and John, but I get your point - a lot of the dirty grind work is probably done by Peters and his assistants. Garbage in garbage out, or in the case of Peters, gems in, gems chosen.

I'd be surprised if there's anything formal, but I assume that as the draft goes deeper, Shanahan/Lynch just put more trust in what Peters and the others say. Like, they know who all the players are and when they expect they're available, but probably aren't as well-scouted on guys as the draft goes on.

Because you hear stories of guys being championed... Like, I think Peters really fought for Ambry Thomas... And then not to pick on him, but I'm sure it's to his chagrin, we've heard of Shanahan really liking Dante Pettis and Joe Williams.

Ultimately, Shanahan really only has time to look at prospects when the offseason starts, and Lynch also divides his time to the in-season roster as well (and seems more of a big-picture, uniting leader anyway). I'd actually be impressed if Shanahan/Lynch were as well-scouted on Hufanga or Mitchell as they were on Trey Lance.
