I hope he's right and Verge is wrong about our opinion on Jones. Not that it matters if the Niners take him at #3. I hope out interest in Fields is legit. If he's there at #8 he should be the pick. I fully expect a CB to be added fairly early in the draft. Everything about our defensive scheme last year was about covering for our weaknesses on the back end.

If true I'm glad they aren't buying the Lance hype. I'd love him later but early 1st? Heck no

I have no issues with a cb in a trade down scenario depending on what LTs are there. Or turning 8 into a top CB and a second level tackle would be productive IMO

I have warmed up to trading down, i have been doing a bunch mock drafts and the most fun i have had is drafting around 2,3,4. Its gonna be a lot of talent to choose from and guys that can play right away. As long as they take a LT somewhere in the 2nd im good with it.

My best scenario is hoping Sewell drops to us though.

Person doesn't know our draft plans. FFS. Drafting a CB in the 1st round would be a body blow to this franchise. What a waste. Our 1st pick should involve improving our passing attack. When the 4th quarter rolls around and it's time to air it out you need pass protection and weapons. CB in the 1st is a luxury pick for teams that are loaded on offense.

One thing is certain, its Surtain/Horn and then there is a gap between them and the CBs available in the later rounds. Plus, Jackson and AJ are our clear top guys right now. Jackson has a nagging foot injury that can hit any time and AJ wont even be available the first couple games. We are thin after that. Im just glad they are prioritizing CB over WR.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
