The San Francisco 49ers have concocted one hell of a smoke screen

Why would taking a jab at Garrett help them "sell" the number 2 pick?

Don't answer that because I already know what you're going to say.

"because then teams wanna trade up because Garrett might fall"

Trades aren't made until draft night. After the Browns have picked.

There's other reasons why its dumb too but I'll just leave it at that.

There was a ton of detail surrounding Jimmy Garrapolo deals as well, to the point of saying it was basically a done deal. Going into detail is meaningless, it's just a team trying to set a bar for what they might take. I'm sorry, but I don't buy this one at all. Geez, this stems from the presser where DG seemed to giggle a bit sort of like he did last year in a comment about CBs. How about the part of the presser where he actually stated how excited he was to have 4 top 100 picks and how about the fact that 16 off our official 28 (can't figure out who 29 was) visits are in the range of our picks at 40 and 64?

The thing is, it's been talked about among scouts for a while that the Bengals and Panthers are dueling out trading picks to land Fournette. 

Who knows. I hope you're right.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
