Slater was picked several picks below us. If someone wanted our pick in that range for Fields/Mac then then we have traded down and still had Slater available. That’s all he is saying.

But if you beef of the OL and try to get a team “ready” for a rookie QB, you would think we would win some games. He is averaging 5 wins a year with a terrible OL.

A productive starter at pick 6 isn’t a good thing, plus your sample size is going to be very small. You have 6 years with only the top half and only OL with the jury being open somewhat on these past two years. If Slater gets injured and can’t bounce back he will be considered a bust (for example) is Bectum in NYJ considers a bust with his injuries and where he was drafted? https://theriotreport.com/bust-alert-choose-wisely-when-drafting-an-offensive-lineman/ There is an article the Riot write about drafting OL and how it can still be a risk from 2019.

People on here acting like OL can’t be busts as well while we are rocking a 1st rounder in Erving who is replacing a former first rounder (several years later) Matt Kalil. If we draft a top LT without trading down just know next season might look very similar to our past couple games (rookie LT playing solid, but teams just blitzing Darnold up the middle). I’m ok with us taking one, but the following year may be terrible. I really want a new coach and trade down….

Yep and this year was suppose to be Howell and Rattler at 1 and 2. Banking on next year is risky, plus we have no idea where we will be picking…

I’m sure you did because you have been wanting a LT this whole time (understandably so), but the actual data aside from your eye test disagrees. I have no problem drafting Neal/Cross if we can’t trade down. I think we can slide BC over to LG while serving as a backup LT. LT is possibly the 2nd most important position outside of the QB. It’s the same reason I wanted Fields last year even after we traded for Darnold. Having several options until you have a solidified starter at one of these premier positions never hurts. One can always be flipped for trade capital like the Ravens did with Brown if they both look like great LTs.

Why would you think he isn’t? He is basically a question mark that has looked promising in his little playing time despite terrible coaching.

Jim Harbaugh did pretty good his first year with the Niners too. NFC Championship I think?

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/niners-still-haunted-by-jim-harbaugh-mistake/13084/?amp It was the relationship he had with the owners. It was dumb to force him out over their egos. He knows so to win was had the Niners playing better than Wonderboy Kyle is now.

First round sure, number 6 overall…. not so sure…

I’m ok with Baker, but I’m not wanting to trade for him. If he is cut I’m good with offering him a contract. The trade capital would have to be very minimal as in similar to how the Broncos got Teddy.

I’m so jealous of Bengal fans right now. Burrow/Chase is the best young combo in the league. Higgins and Mixon are just not fair and they still haven’t fully addressed their OL yet.

I hope they don’t try to get cute and mix it up like this. Moton is a great RT and ok LT. I’m not a fan of drafting a RT at 6 that might be an upgrade over Moton and then playing Moton out of position. If we draft Neal he needs to be our LT and hopefully a great one. LT Neal, LG BC, RT Moton would he a good core with a FA G/C plus late rounder to compete with Brown.

Says the man who sighed Erving and Elf early in free agency. Should have combined that money for a premier G like Thuney…

Seriously! At least he (in theory) would get better over time. These are terrible vets who are falling over and tumbling into players trying to block…

My dream scenario would be trading down to acquire a 2nd while still landing Tyler L from Iowa. Then we could grab Howell/Strong in the 2nd. This gives us a young talented QB plus a OL core of BC, TL, and TM. Grab a vet G in FA plus late round draft pick and our line should be much better.

He has definitely flashed potential, even with this sad excuse for a coaching staff around him. Get a coach that knows what he is doing and he can be a solid player IMO.

If we trade down and get Tyler L, I’ll be happy. Gives us a OL core of BC, TL, and TM. If we are stuck at 6 and aren’t in love with a QB then I kind of like Cross the best. He is a pure LT. Some scouts are saying Neal is a RT at the next level, but they said the same about Slater and look what happened…

Us fans trying to see it…

If we get a new coach to develop these players I can get excited about YGM, Burns, Brown, Chinn, Horn, Shaq, and Henderson developing in this young defense.

I figured you would be. Breaking poo and cursing at people is just an loud and obnoxious way of pouting. He was upset because he was getting his ass kicked so he flipped out. Cam was pissed because he got his ass kicked (physically also) and shut down instead. Cam’s was a much more meaningful game and season ending with some terrible calls/no calls.

I give a damn if we are playing well enough to earn the respect from people around the country. I also had no problem with Cam being visibly upset the same night he lost the biggest game of his life. Tom Brady got shut out by the Saints during a regular season game and was seen yelling at their coaches to “go fug yourself” followed by slamming and breaking a tablet on the sidelines. Something tells me you are ok with that though…

Yeah that might have been the worst coaching performances I’ve seen. They were missing Saquan too…

This is a lot about nothing. Sam isn’t the guy that will talk down about anyone. He isn’t a very good QB, but from what I can tell he is a nice person. The offense has gone to complete poo and it doesn’t matter who is playing QB.
