Unless somebody comes offering a QB level trade package, Burns is here to stay and that's a good thing.  1st rounders are enticing, but established guys who have proven it are even better. 

I'd rather have 1 Brian Burns than 1 Shaq Thompson & 1 Vernon Butler for instance. And yeah, 2 first rounders could turn into 2 of the greatest players in the history of the game, but they could also be busts. Established guy who's grown into a leader on a young defense? I'll take that.

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.

Considering Tepper is the owner, he should be at very important meetings like this that involve the teams future.

Since he let the experts he hired do a great job, I would not say his interest in attending could be considered meddling.

You don't really think they were going to trade CMC without consulting Tepper?  You don't trade the face of the franchise without clearing that with the owner first.  I hate Tepper as much as the next guy but him being on this would be expected.  That would be a sure way of getting fired if you didn't.

and then CMC picks up the playbook and the 49ers become the best in the NFC West

Geno and a Rams team in need of a CMC or OBJ are not going to keep a CMC focused 49ers team from taking that division

Or he does what every RB under Shanahan at the 49ers does breaks down. Ask around you might be able to trade that Panthers 22 in for a 49ers 23

Sure, consult Tepper on making a move, include him in the meeting; but "huddled to come up with a blueprint for what they wanted out of a deal" is taking his involvement much too far. The worst franchises in the league are the ones with meddling owners. Tepper doesn't know sh*t about football compared to the experts he should be hiring and he shouldn't be involved in coming up with a blueprint for what we want in a trade.

Agree on football decisions and I definitely blame him for meddling in our yearly QB clusterfug, but draft capital, pick value,  those sorts of things are his bag. Analyzing value of things. Placing a value on something. 

And financials or contract issues that could be part of it, that is boss/owner stuff too. 

Just do not let him pick the coach, the players, none of that. 

I have an idea that would allow him to play with his toy though. Do something like let him have the 7th rounder every year to play with, maybe he’ll get lucky. No one much hits on 7th rounders he can probably do about average.

      Refs are dildos, PP got no motion, and First Shot Freddie reared it's ugly head again. That said we are outplaying them, so far. Need to clean up the turnovers. But, if we stick to our game, we should beat this team.

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      By Jmac · Posted

      The biggest need on defense is a finding a pass rush. Picking 19th makes it tough to get a blue chipper. Trey hendickson or Maxx Cosby would obviously provide fire power. Would you invest the $$$ to bring either one in or pull a trade, or is their a 2nd tier guy you would target? Hu If not, what later first round edge rusher would you target. Trading up to get the guy if possible? What u got

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      Here we go again with wasting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks on offensive lineman. 2 free agents. 1 high football IQ leader in the 2nd or 3rd round for the interior. Two Day 3 starters. Stop wasting draft capital or be left behind. [if they enter free agency or the draft] Braden Smith in free agency or draft Carter Smith, Brian Parker II (leader), or Isaiah World. Take the one that slips. I know some are going to go after Carter Smith's arm length, but I'd rather have him with his fierce grip and control of lighter speed rushers than a top 10 pick LT waist bender on skates. If Bryce stays and needs to rely on popping out of the pocket to win games, then you need a Carter Smith or Brian Parker who can redirect a pass rusher at the rusher's hips. The lack of control by Ekwonu and Moton on their pass rushers change of direction is what always frustrated Bryce stepping up in the pocket. They are leverage tackles for a pocket passer that ride the pass rusher out.  Carter and Parker can create passing lanes for a QB who wants to step up, pop pass, and escape. Draft Carter Smith and Brian Parker if they fall. Then trade Moton and place Brian Parker at LT and Carter Smith at RT. Could it be possible to flip Moton for picks that get you both of these tackles with 2 picks? I know fans would hate even entertaining this, but if you want Bryce to win, he needs to rely on his limited but highly effective skills. If you don't like these options, you may as well just stick with Yosh and Brady at LT. The pool and projections will shape up in the next 2 months, but I hope this front office stops making the classic mistakes of losing the draft capital battle that a dynasty must win. Save the 1st and 2nd round picks for core defensive players.
