This is a crazy reach. This guy would've been available at 93. 

You don't know that, dude.

This pick was a big reach but I'm more comfortable with this staff reaching than any of the previous ones.

[WOW!!]

This is a good point as well.. Way more confident on Evro and Capers then Snow..

[WOW!!]

I still don’t like the pick but some of you have made some solid points to lessen the blow a bit.. Board might be getting better..

[Pup McBarky]

For all we know, Johnson turns out to be the steal of the draft. But I still don't like that he sucker-punched a fan. That's BS.

I have no doubt that Evero was asked "of any defensive player left, or any edge left, which would you want?" With Caper's input, I'm sure, Evero said DJ Johnson.

I trust these guy more than any other staff we've had, and I trust them a lot more than any collection of draftniks out there.

Yeah, but there does seem to be some strong consistency between the last Rhule era draft and this one.   Some beat writers also pointed this out.  Which makes me think it’s Fitt and his scout team leading the show more than our coaches.   Also seems like the decision to go to #1 was a Fitt call….and they just hoped Reich would eventually agree to their consensus. 

I’m still not super high on Fitt and think we should have had a new GM come in to start the new era.

Don’t have a name today.  Haven’t put in the work.  

largely just pointing out my belief that Fitt and his scouts might have more to do with stuff than the coaches right now.  

[Shocker]

If I look at the Edge prospects that went after him I don’t see much.

Complain all y’all want - meanwhile the 49ers just took a kicker in the 3rd round 

Didn’t we just trade them Zane Gonzalez?

Giving away draft capital and making head scratching picks threeyears in a row now.  Matt Corral, Brandon Smith, Deonte Brown, Keith Taylor, Davion Nixon, Tommy Tremble all wasted picks. We should have hired a new GM when we hired the new coaching staff. Tepper is an idiot.

Damn yeah it was for a conditional pick too. Probably won’t get anything now.
