Wasn't the moving to 3 inquiry before we got Sam?

Reference?

Straight gangster stuff

I had said Derick Brown if he was there, but thought Simmons was the pick if not. Was that not the case? Genuinely curious.

I know there were some people in the building like Fields, but not the right people. Once Darnold became our QB we became committed to him, clearly. I also thought we would have taken Mac Jones at 8, which obviously was not the case. Fields was not in the conversation at 8, not really anyway.

Hard to say. I don't think they had any intention of drafting a QB in this class unless it was Lawrence as more stuff comes out.

1. Pitts 2. Sewell 3. Chase 4. Horn

Yeah it was the weight and character issues. He is considered a risk at a position you don't want someone to have weight issues.

I feel like this is definitely a call out for being okay with the Little pick.

All of this is entirely irrelevant. We have the talent to compete for a playoff spot right now.

I know there were people in the room who loved Walker Little, and I think that's where the anger stems from. Still though, Marshall was an excellent selection where we got him, and I am not so sure we are done at LT.

Would you spend a 6th round pick to clear 900k of cap is ultimately what it comes down to

but I also thought we would take Mac Jones so...meh.

Oh no, I've been pretty adamant that we would NOT take Fields. I was implying that other teams would want to get ahead of us because they thought we would.

Yep. I was wrong about Mac Jones. I was completely convinced the 49ers were going to take him and that other teams loved him. 49ers are good at smokescreens it would appear.

I'm optimistic you will love my lasagna recipe if you give it a chance.

Thanks Rayzor! Much love

Our total grade: A I think that's how averages work I guess, I'm not very good at math.

Big men that can start or provide depth late. Love it. Big brain GM time.

JOAT and I have always gotten along well and go back. Good to see him active in the main forum.

Not sure why it posted twice, but this is the correct thread lol

It posted early so I had to edit it in but it's there lol

I posted this all on twitter first so the commentary is limited by character length. Enjoy 1. Jaycee Horn: Big physical boundary corner that allows our defense to run a lot more man with our physically dominant d-line. This is how you win super bowls. Was my top rated corner and fits like a glove with an ultra high ceiling. Grade: A 2. Terrace Marshall: Traded down multiple times and still got a player would have been comfortable with at their original spot. Big physical specimen that dominated SEC competition constantly. Familiar with the Joe Brady offense and allows us to be vertical constantly. Grade: A 3. Brady Christensen: Can compete at both G and T. Ultra athletic with room to grow, dominated competition at BYU leading to offensive boom. Good coaching will unlock starting potential. Grade: A 4. Tommy Tremble: Physical specimen that will take over the H-Back spot to another level. Need to develop as a pass catcher but wants to be in your face blocking you violently. Value was not quite there this early. Love the player, hate the spot. Grade: C+ 5. Chuba Hubbard: One cut and go back who runs tall and runs hard. Dominated early in his career but fell off a bit last year. Will be a great compliment to CMC as a hit the hole runner. Grade: B 6. Daviyon Nixon: Unbelievable athletic ability and quickness for his size. Dominated in 2020 (noticing a trend?) Could start right away opposite Brown. Tremendous value as I had him as an early 2nd round pick Grade: A+ 7. Keith Taylor: Tall and lengthy corner who plays to his strengths. Had a tendency to get burned vertically at Washington (I caught up on tape of him last night lol) may be a candidate to play a safety hybrid. Good secondary depth Grade: C+ 8. Deonte Brown: Mammoth human being that got a PHD in mauling the competition. A bruiser who plays guard like a power back will certainly compete to be a starter early. Struggles in advanced pass blocking scenarios, and has some off the field concerns Grade: A 9. Shi Smith Shiiiii. An electric slot receiver in the mold of Jamison Crowder. Will look to take some of the Curtis Samuel snaps that we lost. Has some kinks that need to be coached out, and is limited physically, but will compete for slot snaps. Grade: B 10. Thomas Fletcher He is a long snapper. Idk what you want me to tell you. Seems like a nice kid. Allows us to save 1 million against the cap. Grade: Long Snapper 11. Phil Hoskins: His nickname is "Big Snacc" if that tells you anything. Body type of a hardline nose that plays like Aaron Donald. Interesting skillset that will likely struggle to make the 53. Intriguing value this late. Grade: B+

This is the best class we have ever had imo.

Holy poo what a draft
