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.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
