Niner Talk » Jacob Cowing-WR-Arizona, 135th Pick, 2024 Draft

Personally I think the thought process here is that they are going to play Willis at FB while Juice is gone, so they need a backup TE in case one of Kittle/Farrell get banged up.

I agree, but I also am intrigued with Jake Stoll's potential. Can they find another Jake Tonges? Jake Stoll almost looks like Tonge's twin - from an athletic perspective.

This game will come down to the trenches. Last year their dline dominated this oline. But our oline has been improved, mostly in pass protection, but I've noticed a renewed nastiness.

I've noticed an improvement out of the right side of the line. The left side, not as much. Trent just doesn't collapse one half of an entire defensive line like he once did. But I agree that the interior run is important. I would love to see Black rip off some big chunks of yardage. Lost in last week's win over Denver was an absolutely crushing block from Brendel that put Kittle untouched into the endzone because he was given a street sized path to run through.

The 49er defense is much, much improved. The Seahawks did not have to worry about Warner or Greenlaw in the final two games last season. Dre, for some reason, always saves his best for Seattle. He frustrates that team to no end. I would not be surprised to see him come up with a few key plays tomorrow. I'm also hoping to see a little life from last year's first round draft pick. Williams sounds as if he's ready to make an impact. Tomorrow will tell.

Agree 💯%, Dre and that defense will be key. As for Trent, I think Puni, Brendel and McKivitz are doing so well that they are running more that direction versus any fall off from Trent. I think they are holding back some Trent Williams run plays for Seattle. I can see Trent bulldozing that Seattle Left Side in a specially designed Kyle Shanahan play for a TD that wins the game, a la how Kyle burned Denver with that Tight End Screen pass.

That playoff win from last season felt pretty good

Right, which is why I specified regular season. Of course playoff wins feel better every time.

For sure.QB were getting killed. Joe Montana htiitng the frozen Meadowlands turf always comes to mind...Jim Burt?

The Giants got him bad twice. Jim Burt in '86 and Leonard Marshall in '90.

When you have an elite QB, your window is always open. We need the draft capital to keep restocking the roster as it ages. The last two drafts are looking pretty good so far. Whatever moves we make, I don't expect it to be massive. Expect a trade for a guy like Mack, or a run stuffing dlineman that is under the radar. I doubt we'll trade for an expensive star.

This. Joe won 4 with completely different teams, Brady also. But other key pieces like TW, Bosa, Kittle and Juice will ALL need to be addressed very soon to keep a legitimate window open. Purdy has proven he can do it with just about any WR.

Personally, I'm eying the defense. I can see Bosa kind of getting injured more than I'd like, and there are some (what it looks like) some excellent pass rushers/defensive ends in the 2027 draft. I'd love it if they can convert Mac (who's sitting on the bench and not contributing - in a sense because he's basically insurance) into draft capital for 2027. Now of course the risk is Brock getting hurt and we'll need a QB that can at least get us into the playoffs. Having Mac will be a must if that's the case, and ultimately that's what my gut says. I don't think they are going to trade Mac. But man o man if we can get some draft capital to move up in 2027 and have a shot at some of those top notch players - my mind says it's worth the risk.

Just trade for Jeffrey Simmons and call it a day. Dude would immediately improve a very good defense, and if Bosa and Williams stay healthy, the defense would keep us in every game so long as the offense continues to hum.

JS is a key piece in the Titans rebuild. It will take a king's ransom to get him

He could also be a centerpiece of our D line. I'd be fine giving our 1st this year and a later round or player to get him.

Some players aren't for sell.

The draft in 2027 is supposedly deep in edge rushers, and its supposedly has several generational offensive tackles too. I defer to the draft nerds on the draft, but its something to consider in whether to keep Mac for this year *only* or to trade him for a possible elite edge rusher in the draft or additonal draft capital to bolster an aging offensive personnel. I'd like next years draft to be one to keep multiple Superbowl windows open in the future while Brock is at his peak.

NOPE - the window has been open forever. The time is now. Not half assing it bc you're worried about the future.

That's the trick of it. 49ers won the Superbowl in 1984, and Walsh was able to trade up and get a WR in next years draft. Now maybe he got lucky, maybe he was a genius (I think the latter) but that WR turned out to be decent. Look at how much better Purdy is with Evans. We have Stribling coming back soon, hopefully 💯%, but knowing the Substation Gods, they are out to get us - so depth at WR is a must going into next year. Also Trent isn't getting any younger. The QB's blind side protector has to be a top of the line athlete otherwise Brock's not going to survive once Trent retires. Mac *might* be needed should Brock go down and *might* be needed to get us into the playoffs like last year. But with the OLine playing so well, and Jimmy out there as a backup - *and* Kurtis looking good in Preseason - it might be worth the risk. That's all I'm saying.

Brother, he's 9th and 10th in these lists.

Not sure why you are hanging your hat on the draft run by Shanylynch.

You must have forgotten the current record 4-0 (soon to be 5-0)
