That was pretty good. Don't agree with some of the points made but it's great to see someone taking the time to make such a thoughtful post.

Pick 74 Carolina Panthers Jordan Burch Oregon · Edge · Senior

Pick 57 Carolina Panthers (via LAR) Jared Wilson Georgia · C · Junior (RS)

Pick 8 Carolina Panthers Walter Nolen Mississippi · DT · Junior Speaking of Quinnen Williams ... Nolen earned that comp this season from Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding, who coached the three-time Pro Bowler at Alabama. Nolen's explosiveness off the ball and ability to chase down plays make him a potential top-10 selection like Williams, and pairing him with Derrick Brown means trouble for opposing offensive lines.

Agreed. Dan Morgan got Mike Jackson for our 7th round LB I think he's confident he can find another low cost starter if he can't re-sign Mike.

We were last in the league vs the run these are our current d-linemen: Derrick Brown, A'Shawn Robinson, Jaden Crumedy, Sam Roberts, Jerrod Clark and Shy Tuttle - its clear our biggest need is D-line

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco lists the Bills, Chargers, Commanders, Steelers, and Texans as best fits for a Deebo Samuel trade These are all teams that check the competing for a title, obvious wideout need, and/or ties to former 49ers personnel boxes. Maiocco writes that Samuel produces better in zone coverage. For a team like the Bills or Chargers, he’d add on to their run-game structure by giving them an ancillary runner and end around threat out of the backfield. It’s likely that these teams will all be bandied about as destinations for Samuel, Cooper Kupp, and most of the other big names on the market outside of Tee Higgins this offseason.
