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.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
