K Harrison Butker Makes It To The Practice Squad. DT Eric Crume Released. Panthers Add An OT

John Theus is a 5th round pick out of Georgia in 2016. That's all I got. Surprises me since I thought we were pretty good on OT depth and the 49ers have a pretty trash line so if they are dumping him I'm not sure what we think we are getting.

Eh they're decent at OT. OG is where they're garbage at.

Crume played well in the preseason.  Sad to see him go, but as long as both Butler & Love are healthy, I guess it's an ok move.  Our top 4 DTs are certainly stellar if healthy.

A bit surprised we added an OT instead of bringing up a guy like Armah. but you can't have too much OT depth!

There you go. Butker cleared waivers and is back with the Panthers. We don't need Crume with Love and Butler ready to play again. Cole Luke will basically take a medical redshirt because we have  more talent and experience at corner now, and we just got a little deeper at tackle. It's getting a little harder to dislike Hurney lately. I still don't trust him running the draft but I will have to eat some crow and say he's done a really good job with the roster so far.

The 9ers have one of the better tackle tandem in the league

My thinking is that our coaching staff sees something in him. Matsko has been great at bringing some of these young guys along. Perhaps the OL coach for the 49ers isn't the kind that works well with young players who still need some teaching up.

But, like @KB_fan said above, I'd have been thinking Armah instead.

Relief to get Butker back obviously, but doesn't make keeping Gano at his salary any less moronic.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
