Mock April 4th

Hurney has stated he wants to set up to be able to go BPA.  And I honestly think he will go BPA at the top

That being said

 

1st: Calvin Ridley- How Ridley falls blows most peoples minds.  DJ Moore is the hot new flavor of the week after the combine and workouts, he's shooting to the top of many WR boards.  Sutton is up up there among them too.  With 5 QBs going in the 1st, 2 WRs going off before him.  Ridley gets pushed down.  Hurney and Norv Turner cant help themselves but sprint up and pick him

 

2nd: Justin Reid (via trade)- I just dont see Reid going in the 1st unless we pick him.  And had Ridley not been there he may have been the pick.  Reid falls to the 2nd and Hurney cant just stay put.  He trades up using our second 3rd rounder.    Valued at 150, the pick wouod move us to #40, but we may be able to get a few spots before.  We have seen Hurney jump when he sees a guy he likes (Otah, Brown, etc)  giving up that 3rd sucks for those who hoped we could get 4 guys who can make a impact.  But the likelyhood of getting someone with that other pick would nowhere close outweigh the option of getting Reid.

3rd: Rashaad Penny-  its going to be one of the big backs.  I think Chubb and Freeman go ahead of him.  With a deep RB class, its going to push guys down.  Barkley, Guice, Michel, Ronald Jones, Kerryon Johnson etc all going in the 1st 2 rounds.  The bigger more 1 dimensional guys like Chubb, Freeman, and Penny fall to the 3rd.

5th: Dalton Schultz- much like Kittle last year, Schultz falls.  He is a Y TE or TE2.  Hardly used at all in the passing game at Stanford.  He was a bigtime blocker and a major key in the Run game for CMC and Love.  His coaches claim he has all the tools to be a big factor in the passing game.  He wasnt the Freak athlete Kittle was last year, which is another reason he falls.  Current WR coach got a birds eye view on this kid as he was the RB coach at Stanford.  Schultz can come right in and fill the hole Dickson left 

6th: QB

7th: BPA

I like the way you think. I just started getting heavy into researching specific players by watching condensed full snaps of theirs on youtube. I am very underwhelmed by Reid. I watched a good bit of Penny too and feel like he should make it to the third and probably a good pick for us their. I do prefer Ronald Jones but seems unlikley he'd fall that far. 

I think we are going to part with a third to grab a coveted player, then it should be Ridley in the first, as it seems highly improbable he makes it all the way to us at 24.

won't be upset but I honestly would rather us get MORE picks instead of less. We just have too many needs still and desperately need young talented depth at multiple positions 

 

I should have said "if".    I get that but how many times have we been able to fill needs in rounds 4-7?

I was more referring to picking up extra second and third rounders but your point stands

    • They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.    
    • well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn. 
    • JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
