And no mention of Drummond… 

I missed that, but good point.

Then we need that pass rusher regardless of Burns future in Carolina.

 

Yes, doubly so. And perhaps we should make that our top draft priority rather than a QB. I think it is a surer fire deal -- but I really wish we had a way to evaluate Matt Corral before getting there, though.

I appreciate that Fitterer was upfront with CMC.  One of the many things I disliked about Gettleman was that he didn't even tell Smitty he'd been traded.  You can make the tough decisions without being a jerk.

Decent chance those 49ers picks become top 10 - they have been hit hard with injuries and have a tough schedule ahead. 

 

Tankathon has them at 11 this morning....that would be great, but you're right, it can get better....two top 10 picks in the 2nd and 4th, and 1 in the third....would be nice

Damn. I'm gonna have to read that while on a longer break.

We also need a legit, young MLB.

There’s an internal belief the roster is in a spot where you could drop a good quarterback in and the team could really take off.

The team braintrust seems to share the notion some fans have expressed that the roster is good, just in need of a quarterback and the right coaching. PJ Walker's performance this past Sunday could be considered evidence to that effect.

I've been saying this for a while. Defense is good enough. O line is great now. We have some weapons. We still need some pieces - DE/Edge, MLB, DT, TE, WR maybe RB, but overall we can drop a QB in and be competitive. Many of these can be fixed in this upcoming draft if they hit on the 2nds. We could be playoff competitive in 2024 with the right QB and HC.

Yep, still have some holes, but every team does.  Nobody has studs at every position.  As it sits now though we have young studs in the most important positions besides QB.

WR1 - DJ Moore

QB - ??????

LT - Ickey

CB1 - Horn

Edge - Burns

IDL - Brown

Those are considered the core positions for every NFL team, and we have nailed all of them with recent draft picks.  Still need an MLB, possibly another good young WR (we will see how TMJ pans out) and another disruptive Edge.  Personally I think RB is fine with Foreman and Chuba as a backup.  Foreman has consistently shown what he can do when given the chance.

I'm not sure I'll ever pull against a team as much as I will the 49ers this year. I've never hated them, but there is too much draft positioning on the line.

Oops.  Shoulda said cut instead of traded.

Roquan Smith from Chicago? Ha I know he’ll get paid and it’s a lot more efficient to find our own guy in the draft. I really don’t watch the bears but what little I do see that guy looks good

 In the interim, Fitterer, in conjunction with owner David Tepper, assistant GM Dan Morgan and cap chief Samir Suleiman, huddled to come up with a blueprint for what they wanted out of a deal, and the first-round value was central to that, in giving the team a piece of capital it could use to get a quarterback and augment the existing young core.

Still an extremely big concern for this team going forward. Tepper, you fuging hired a GM, assistant GM and cap guy. Trust them to do their fuging jobs and stop meddling.

Burns is our only star, he's a great teammate and person. Premier pass rushers are hard to come by. Glad we're keeping him.
