Butler selection Presser, 7 teams tried to trade

  When the 49ers and the Seachicks took those guards, it probably skyrocketed the trade value.

If I'm not mistaken during the pre-draft presser, DG referred to the OG Garnett that SF took...maybe some gamesmanship that caused SF to trade up? I was looking for the transcript to the presser but I think I remember him saying something about Kelly and Garnett.

yup. not only is is the pressure of that contract stuff off but he just physically got pressure released by these dudes in the middle. i would not be surprised to see him have one of his better years as a pro.

He was also interviewed and asked after he he resigned with us who he wanted us to draft. He said "dline man!" Mentioned getts philosophy about pass rushers.

It's picks like this (where you can now rotate 3-4 DT's with very little dropoff) that keeps you getting after the QB for 60 minutes, instead of 45-50...  This pick will save Star and KK 10-15 snaps a game each, keep the entire DL fresher, the enemy OL worn out, and the QB with a dirty jersey...  This is the kind of selection that makes protecting those 4th quarter leads a little easier...  Makes that 4th quarter drive for the opponent a little bit tougher...  I'm looking forward to seeing how this beast is used!

Not to mention that a collapsed pocket means that the QB is out there alone somewhere where the DE's or blitzers can get to him. I bet that our LB corps loves this pick.

So we probably won't be drafting a DE in the second round. I'm hoping we're going OL. 

As the Butler pick showed (once again), it's BPA all the way, and if a DE is at the top of the list in the remaining rounds, you can count on that DE becoming a Panther.

"Plays with energy and shows the same intensity in the fourth quarter as the opening drive. Consistent competitor with a strong football appetite."

And you know intensity and consistency played into the high grade we awarded to Butler. This kid was a 2 star recruit out of high school so he's used to proving people wrong about his talent.

Every GM in the league is playing WWGD...What would Gettleman Do.  I f he says he's picking a kicker at 62, there'd be a run on kickers in 50's. 

Or at least they should be.

Yeah you are right. I am especially high on Delaire.

I'm there with you.  Delaire should see this  as a sign and double up his reps at the gym, come into camp a monster and win himself more reps during the season.  If he can show flashes like he did his first few games with us, he can compete with kony and cj, bring some qb pain.

Not to mention that this kind of constant pressure will give QBs Happy Feet.  And that is a good thing.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
