I really like Purdue but Mac Jones has shown it is more of the coach/system than the qb and Purdy makes more than Herbert, Jackson, Hurts, Stafford, etc.
49ers always seem to make questionable decisions and they never really seem to pay the price. Lance, Purdy, Aiyuk all seem like wastes of draft capital and cap space.
They still have Chris Godwin, Tev Johnson, and Egbuka. They could also get Evans and Irving back for the regular season finish. I'm thinking Baker doesn't miss too many games. Sorry, not seeing us winning the division.
I think we see some regression to the mean, and we end up picking at no. 11. Arvell Reese LB OSU come on down. He is moving into the top ten on a lot of mocks which is surprising for an off ball linebacker so we may not even be around (I think three qb's go in front of us though). We could take and edge (Davide Bailey TTU) or a DT (Peter Woods CU), but I don't want to see us reach for the injured CB out of Tennessee (Jermod McCoy).
Don't we have until May 1, 2026 to exercise the fifth year option for Bryce? If so, i think we take a wait and see approach since next year is still a bargain for us. It would be so stupid to give BY an extension. He will be here in '26 though.
