Jacob Cowing-WR-Arizona, 135th Pick, 2024 Draft

Oh no, and with this terrible draft history there we are, languishing at the bottom of the NFC West and a laughing stock around the NFL.

They've been horrible at drafting in the early rounds. I think that was Kyle's fault because he fell in love with a RB or TE or Kicker and drafted them too early in rd 3 instead of later. Then the scouts took over the draft in the later rounds and they did great drafting in rd 5, 6 and 7. I think/hope that they have done better in 2024 and 25

Over their first 7 drafts in the first 4 rounds, Shana-Lynch has made 21 poor draft picks and only 5 good picks. So only 20% of the picks were good, and 80% of their picks in rds 1-4 were bad.
It's amazing that they are good despite their horrible rd1-4 drafts. But they have drafted great in rd 5-7

I understand your logic here, but as a 49ers fan I don't care about what other teams are doing.

Crazy thing is, we are right back in the thick of things with that drafting history and a ton of injuries. Why argue this stuff now???

I am hard on our team, but if it works lets acknowledge that too. GO NINERS!!!

I understand. The point i'm trying to make is a handful of guys on here love to s**t on the draft picks and act like drafting is so easy but don't realize the other 31 teams in the NFL are doing the same exact thing. Whats even crazier is despite the bad picks and injury luck we are in the middle of a dang playoff hunt but yet here we are complaining.

When the Niners made the trade to eventually select Trey Lance i swore that trade would either make or break this regime regardless who they picked. They barely even skipped a beat. No doubt in my mind if Warner and Bosa wasn't injured we'd be the strong favorites to win a Super Bowl this year.

Is she still hurt?

Yup.. everyone knows if you don't play well your first year, you can never be a good player.

It's amazing. So many bad teams in the NFL and we have all these potential GMs right here on this forum. They never miss on their picks. /s

Wow Taylor Rapp as a Ram had 9 picks in four seasons, that's a bust?

John Johnson in four seasons, 8 picks. Bust?

Joseph Noteboom started 71 games for the Rams, that's a bust?

I could go on about your list and players being a bust, but I think you and me define bust differently.

It was reported a while back that he was supposed to activated after the bye with YGM. But only YGM was activated it seems

Larry Kreuger or however it's spelt from Pig and a Pickle sponsorship, mentioned he can't climb the depth chart now this deep in the season, especially with the punt return guy Sky Moore getting more reps and doing better at this point. Let alone we have Kendrick Bourne -
Demarcus Robinson
Ricky Pearsall
Jauan Jennings

So unless there's an injury to these guys, don't count on him being elevated. It's clear the 49ers are focused once again at the D-line

wasted... I can't believe we keep drafting his type of a WR then not use or even give him a chance..

Instead we stay w/a sorry Kenrick " Dance w/the Star " ...

I agree, I mean, you would think putting Cowing and Moore on the field for at least one deep ball a game would be nice. But it is what it is, I just hope they stop neglecting the o-line.

Cowing's future is tied to Skyy Moore's contract negotiations. If Moore is extended then Cowing might not have a place on this team.

I don't recall him making an impact on special teams even before he got hurt.

What kind of hamstring injury did this guy have for him to be on IR this long?
