Still plenty of time between now and the draft but it seems obvious Pickett will be under heavy consideration for us. The hand size stuff is funny but more just for headlines. All I need to know is can he play football? If it's him or someone like Jimmy G then I would rather just roll the dice in the draft. Folks need to go ahead and accept we will be throwing high draft picks at QB until we hit same as other franchises before us. This was the future that awaited us when so many of you were practically celebrating the demise of Newton's career. Don't cry now.

Jimmy G actually has a lot of good options in free agency. Steelers went to post season and need a QB, WFT, Green Bay if Rodgers leaves, Seahawks if Russell leaves, NO, Tampa Bay. These are all teams with good talent. The question is if they think Jimmy G is the missing piece. He's proven in two big time games (super bowl against chiefs and this NFC championship game) that he can manage it but won't win you the game.

Don't they all want to go to winning teams?  Good luck with that.  I'm pretty sure the 49ers will trade Jimmy where ever they can get the most value!

There is still consideration given to the player’s choice.  It may not be a great choice but if he really doesn’t want to go he can kill it.

Eh questions swirled around Herbert too. It is revisionist history to suggest that he was a slam dunk consensus top QB. Even fans here talked junk about him for months.

I was on the *OFFICIAL JUSTIN HERBERT BANDWAGON* and begging Fhule to listen to Marty on that one.

I'm on the *OFFICIAL CARSON STRONG BANDWAGON*

Of course Mr. Hometown Hookup thinks Pickett is Hebert when we all know Pickett is Chris Weinke.

This is a massive draft for Matt Rhule, who might have to make the playoffs in 2022 to keep his job.
 
Fitterer and the Panthers could do a lot of things with the #6 pick, take a quarterback, an offensive tackle, best player available, or possibly even trade out of it and accumulate more picks in return.
 
In my opinion,the most popular and most obvious thing for the Panthers to do would be to take an offensive tackle now and a quarterback nex year..
 
One or more of the top rated offensive tackles,Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu or Charles Cross should be available when the Panthers pick.

I could definitely see him landing a similar gig to what he had this year. Basically a steadying force to keep the seat warm for a young guy a team is developing. Jimmy has a rude awakening coming if he thinks he's going to walk into the locker room of a good team and have them plan to build around him. He's a stop gap/veteran mentor type of QB. Probably a damn good one. Very reminiscent of former Boner Alex Smith in that regard.

Draft an OT at #6 and try like heck to get Stronger at QB by moving back up into the second and drafting Carson Strong. 

Last draft I advocated for us picking Parsons/Pitts in the first and Kyle Trask in the second. I hope they'd look back at how that would have been a damn good draft decision.

Again, Hog Mollie Olineman in the first, try like heck to get into the second round for a QB with a Strong arm. Strong.

Acquiring Garoppolo could be an option, but it would require some cap magic to make it work. The problem I have with this acquisition is that it is going to cost us a similar deal to what Wentz cost the Colts, which is a day two pick with potential for it to become a first round pick. I guess an alternative could be a Garoppolo for McCaffrey deal which gets us a quarterback and gives the 49ers a player that would excel in their system, but I'd hate to see McCaffrey go. 

Personally I'd just draft a quarterback and let him compete with Darnold and Newton (if brought back). Best quarterback wins.

i think garropollo ends up in denver. Maybe even Green Bay. Denver is a decent QB short of being competitive, somehow ended at .500 this year. 

The fact that Pickett's hands are in question, I don't want him now. It's ridiculous that these franchise QB's such as Allen Herbert and Burrow all had the biggest hands and a rocket arm. If someone has this, jump on it. Otherwise go LT.

Well he's already proven he can go 5-12 and that may be good enough to win the NFCS next year.

That would take our #1 for 2023.  So a hard hell no

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
