3 firsts and players?   Come on man.  

If you think of it this way.... 49ers traded 3 first round picks and a third round pick for Trey Lance. They traded 4 total picks for an unproven player (who hadn't played in over  a year).... If they are asking for a defensive starter in return... is the deal really that overwhelming?

Their team is in a much much better place than ours.   How do we build the line without picks?

Besides what do we do with the #1 pick?  Draft Thibodeaux?  That still doesn't solve our quarterback problems since none of the quarterbacks in this coming draft look worth a top 5 or 10 pick.

Evan Neal would work just fine.

It'll be quiet around here if all these people leave after we trade for Watson

Won’t be much of a loss from what I’ve seen. Let’s face, most here just talk. They’ll still be here if Watson is the QB.

From a organization stand point it can’t get much worse than it is now. The Panthers were 3-1 and their stadium was taken over by Eagles fans. The Panthers were then 3-2 and their stadium was taken over by Vikings fans. 

After the initial poo storm passes and if Watson can win games all of that will disappear over time.

But Lance did not have potential felonies against him. This sends a message to the fan base--something that should devalue Watson---they want top dollar.  SF paid too much.

This is a good point, and I don’t disagree with it. My only counter point is that I’d be extremely concerned with all of his riches, if tepper didn’t confirm that this would not be a long term concern. I’d expect tepper to have DW do the following (if/once proven guilty)

 

1. apologize publicly

2. go through a rehabilitation process

3. Give back to women rights betterment programs

4. Community service 

 

if those aren’t in his plan, then yes. Stay away from this deal.unless our legal system just doesn’t do anything with the supporting evidence, then it’s a non (legal) issue.

Watson can be our face of the franchise, leader on offense, and all around ace in the hole. CMC is fantastically talented and a HoF level RB, but his body is toast. Without CMC we need more offensive firepower, and that is Watson. 

It’s a hell of a gamble to make Watson the face with his allegations

I really don't think there's anything here. Joe Person first of all....

Second of all the other stuff is just repeating what Joe Person said and there is no verification or anything in addition to Joe Person just saying this....no one has a source is what it really is.

I wonder why fans think it's just going to be Watson out there on offense alone running around throwing the ball to himself? Did CMC die or something? DJ and Robby were lethal with Teddy, so imagine Watson throwing to them. 

Well Robby would have to catch the ball first...

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
