Like someone else said, need to build around a QB, not a RB. We only made the playoffs his first year when he wasn’t the focal point yet. 

Just curious, what does it mean when people suggest we were "building around a RB"?  That seems to imply that we were intentionally making CMC the focal point of our offense. Like I could understand if we invested in a bunch of run-blocking o-linemen to put all our eggs in the rushing basket. 

But it feels a lot more like we were trying to develop a passing offense, just failing miserably at it.  Since drafting CMC, we've invested pretty significant resources (money and/or draft picks) into DJ Moore (drafting + extending), Teddy, Sam Darnold, Robbie Anderson, TMJ, Matt Corral, and Baker to a lesser extent.  Not to mention our choice of OCs (Brady and McAdoo) who have traditionally been much more pass-focused.

Rather than "building around" CMC, it seems evident we tried to complement him with a strong passing attack but failed biblically so we were just resigned to feeding CMC as the only way to move the ball.

They should be.  This works out great for CMC.  Panthers Nation will always love him.

It's a bittersweet day for sure.  Hope CMC balls out in SF

I wish CMC well for sure but hope the 9ers lose every game for the rest of the season. I want higher draft picks!

Sooooo this inept franchise has wasted generational talent in cam, Luke, and now cmc…who’s next to die with the modern browns? Horn? Brown? Maybe our first overall?

I can hardly contain myself waiting to find out.

Each of those players has/had serious injury issues and concerns.  With a healthy Cam, a Luke without concussions, and a CMC without his injury issues, things would have been different. CMC might "still" be in his prime.... but for how long?  I am sick of the "wasted generational talent" stuff.  We reached a Superbowl with Cam and Luke... we had a 15-1 season in 2015. We all know why and how we lost (no reason to bring that up again).....

Bridgewater was mostly because of Christian I'd say but that's it

I don't regret drafting him. One of the picks I loved from the start. Obviously would prefer if the 49ers don't end up much better record-wise because of the draft picks but would also be a shame if injuries continue to be a problem and we never get to see him at his very best.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
