And I meant to say potentially moving to C next year.

Yeah but Drake is by far the best one. Never understood the hype around Trubiski, he was nothing more than ok.

Every Mack Brown team gets worse as the season goes on. Same story every year, drives me nuts as a Tar Heel. So I don’t necessarily put that on Drake. I do however think Drake can play well within a system, not sure Williams can. I like Daniels, but he also had crazy talent at WR.

Will be interesting to see. I have Maye as my #1

I think he was injured this year, but had good production. He’s 6ft but a bit thin. He’s very good at creating separation and getting open, so that’s the appeal to me. I would say that is the number one thing I look for. I’m done with contested catches type of guys. I think he is decently fast as well.

Since my favorite Jackson Powers-Johnson seems to be a mid first rounder at this point, how about Graham Barton? I know nothing about him outside of some draft profiles. He’s a tackle who can play G/C. Sounds like a great player on paper. Could play LG this year and move over to tackle in 2025. Any insights or opinions about him?

Sounds like a number of folks have them neck and neck.

Me too. I was hopeful back when I started the thread, but now it’s a long shot. If by miracle he’s there, he’s the no brainer pick.

The big difference with Morgan vs. his predecessors is that at his first press conference he didn’t hesitate to openly criticized the current roster, talking about the lack of the player type we need etc. That on its own gives me hope and makes me wonder how much actual input he had under Fitt.

Btw, if I just bought a team for $6B I would do the exact same thing, but still funny

This gives me some serious Tepper vibes lol

I would keep the pick and reset the QB salary clock. I would take Maye.

That read as if she’s best friends with Burns agent, wow.

What I saw was someone who rarely hit his WRs in stride. They had to stop a lot to wait for the ball or do circus style catches. So that’s why I don’t consider him accurate at this point. Not sure how they actually measure accuracy as that doesn’t match up to what I see. But that is just my opinion, and maybe I’m completely wrong, who knows?

Isn’t he known as a kind of malcontent / underachiever? Or do I have him mixed up with someone else?

The sticking point is the amount of money he’s asking for, that could be used elsewhere, when he’s a liability against the run and only gets double teamed 15% of the time.

Here are two things I’d love to see: 1) Trade our 33rd pick for Brandon Aiyuk and sign him to a long term contract. 2) Trade Burns for a 1 and 3 in this year’s draft. Might be a stretch, but not that far fetched. 49ers would be able to find a very good replacement WR at a much lower cost with that pick. And it would give us an established #1 WR who meets Dan’s dog criteria.

It is irrelevant that he is our best pass rusher on our team, his pay and importance to us is about how good he is compared to others around the league. I mean would you pay top money to Tremble just because he is our top TE? Or top money to Chuba because he is our best RB? That kind of reasoning makes no sense. I do like Burns, but not enough to get even close to what he wants.

I like Burns at the right price, but I still think he can be worth more if traded for picks (assuming a 1 and 3 at a minimum) as that would give us a good chunk to also sign another player.

They should extend him, he’s still playing at a very high level and can fir many years.

We have to go BPA with the state of our roster. That’s how the Lions built their roster and it is something to mimic. They were widely panned for taking a RB and LB in the first round, but they were both BPA in their rankings, and it paid off handsomely for them. We need great players and not reach for a position.

Completely disagree (which is ok) that Tepper sold Young to the org. Fitt loved him for years and it has been reported over and over that the whole org was sold on him. But I agree that Tepper was probably ecstatic that his preferred face of the franchise was the same player pushed by the GM and coach.

Ability to get open and create separation should be an absolute priority. I don’t care if they run a 4.7 Throw out the RAS metrics. Draft someone like McConkey. No more projects with upside kind of bs in round 2-3, that’s for round 6-7.

Just did a few rounds, but would love to see it:

I believe the general perception is that Wilks wasn’t as good as Saleh and Ryans. They both were good enough to get HC jobs. I’ve seen some numbers backing up the notion of a strong year for the 49ers defense, and it was. But it didn’t reach the heights it has in the past, despite same or better roster. The expectations for a DC on that team are just so high. I wish he would have gone there and blown the doors off, but that just didn’t happen.
