I've gotta jump in on this mess. 

1. I don't want to draft Pickett at 6, but I'd gladly take him in the teens if we trade back.

2. I believe Pickett will have a Mac Jones type rookie year where he plays the best of all the rookie QBs

3. The hand size thing is hilarious to me. Who cares if he has small hands if he showed he can read a defense, make good decisions, and make accurate passes? I feel like the last few seasons should have hammered in that concept to our fanbase by now

4. The NFL ball and college ball are the same circumference. So it's hilarious that people are making the point that he's going to struggle throwing an NFL ball.  

- Pros: 11 to 11.25" length, 28" circumference

- College: 10.5 to 11.5" length, 28" circumference

5. He's shown the ability to learn and improve while in college, so the fumbles can be avoided with proper two-hands on the ball technique while in the pocket. 

That is all. 

The pro ball is a larger circumference and length.

Secondly the pro ball is 100%leather. College balls can be an ultra tacky synthetic material (not only grippier but doesn't get as heavy in rain)

Pickets hand got bigger?

not that uncommon, use different techniques and you can get your hand bigger over a few months. Josh Allen did it and I'm sure there are others that have managed to do the same..so probably not that uncommon actually.

I get why people don't want Pickett, but the hate on him is a bit off to me. If we are taking a QB at 6, I'd prefer Willis for the upside/homerun vs. conservative/low ceiling aspect. 

That being said, I can make as many arguments as why to NOT take Willis as I can to not taking Pickett. 

Hot take - I'd prefer Pickett/Willis over Mac Jones.

The only coach that travelled to the pro day of course. 

 

If he didn't go, we'd have people on this board bitching about Rhule not doing anything but sit in his office. He's gonna get poo on no matter what he does... But this was the right thing to do for Rhule.

      Seahawks or Rams

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.

      I don’t know about shadowing and all that, but according to this, whatever we are doing is working
