He’s already looked better than Kalil ever did here. Not sure he’s going to be a long term elite player by any means but man has he been a revelation for a 6th round rookie, and he’s versatile as hell. I’d say that he’s got a long future here at the very least as a core depth player.

I mean realistically at this point he looks like a starter. Sure he whiffed on a sack, but even elite tackles get beat sometimes. So far he's looked pretty outstanding overall, especially for a rookie. At this point we should drop the 6th round draft status thing because it's obvious he'll stick and outperform his draft position even if his play tails off some.

I’d pump the brakes a little bit though. OL can get figured out too. People forget because of the Super Bowl, but Remmers was amazing for the 2015 regular season at RT. Miller crushed him and then he was figured out and has been a liability since then.

If Little comes back and balls out at LT I wonder where he ends up on the line. 

I think at this point you have to say Daley has outperformed Little, don't you? Forget what round they were drafted in, strictly by on field performance, isn't it kind of hard to say you feel better with Little as your LT than Daley? And that's not a knock on Little at all, he's looked good before he got hurt. I just think at this point, how can you not say LT is Daley's job to lose?

I mean if Daley starts to get beat on a regular basis we can revisit the conversation, but I don't recall that many instances of tackles getting "figured out". IMO Remmers is not a good example of a tackle getting figured out, he's an example of a coaching staff not figuring out at any point in a Super Bowl that your tackle needs help against a generational talent pass rusher.

I'm still very iffy on the line in general.

I've said all season that our concentrating on short, quick passes makes our line look better than they really are.

The 49ers showed how we could be beaten if you had good enough secondary to cover tightly.

Kudos to them for doing what they need to do, but I'm still not ready to praise them too much.

OK, you’re right, fit the kid for his gold jacket

...

How you gonna turn my "I think the rookie has earned the starting LT job on an otherwise weak OL" into "He's Canton bound!" C'mon man, that's not remotely what I'm saying. I'm saying that based purely on play to date this season, the LT tackle job should be Daley's until proven otherwise.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
