Olsen is gone, Shaq and Bradberry might elect new teams, Cam will likely elect elsewhere with uncertainty and his last year under contract being in a brand new system. Ron has been here for now almost 9 years, new coaches almost never come in and win... There is one coach that could be on the market that is proven enough to keep this team together... Jim Harbaugh. His last season in SF was 8-8 and had success almost his whole time there. If our 1st is high enough with a 6-10 7-9 finish, we could possibly command a trade up for Hurts, Herbert, or Burrow. Likely only need top 5 to get any of those 3 names, possibly top 7 depending on the teams... There is zero scenario Cam comes back on a contract year to play for a new coach with the injury risk. But this locker room is pro Ron, just don't see it being kept together with FAs once he leaves. 

 

Michigan loses to Ohio State again, we likely will be in the running for JH... a man can only hope.

If you think high draft picks are important I urge you to research how many former first round draft picks are currently starting for us on Defense.  I think there are 9.  How's that defense looking?!?  

Top draft picks get to hang around mostly because they are top draft picks.    No one gives up on a top 10 pick until the 4th year.   3rd rounders get a year, maybe two if they flash.

There is a built in bias for high draft picks to succeed.  Otherwise GM's would be exposed as the dart throwing monkeys that they are.

There is no meaningful difference in roster talent among the 32 NFL teams.  Every team has 53 guys that have survived one of the most rigorous weeding out protocols known to man.

Year over year Success is based in culture and coaching.   The GM is responsible for the culture and the Head Coach is responsible for, well, the coaching.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
