It’s why it was stupid for SF to trade all those picks for a QB back then. 

The thing that confuses me with Purdymania is that the same team traded a boatload of picks to draft Lance just the year before. So if Purdy is this good, how good is Lance, who they apparently still have glowing reviews of? The same front office made both moves--and also traded for Jimmy G in the first place, who was supposed to be replaced by Lance, who would have been backed up by Purdy. It's also the same front office that drafted Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk, Bosa, acquired Williams and CMC.

They're either really fortunate or really good. 

The SF front office might be like San Antonio in the NBA...if they're after someone, maybe everyone should be after that same one. If Lance was worth 3 1sts by that front office, he's easily worth later picks by a less credible one like ours.

I give them credit for taking their shot. They had a complete roster that gave them the luxury of taking that risk. It just look like they chose poorly. Imagine if Lance was the real deal. Could you imagine what this team could be doing with a truly elite talent at QB? Yikes.

It was just a weird pick. I was certain they were going Jones but the pick should have been Fields.

Oh, I agree. I really do wonder if the rumors are true that they made the trade to target Jones then let all the backlash talk them out of making the pick?

Than again, it's not like Jones would've been a good pick either but you also have to wonder how he'd look in that offense surrounded with those weapons. It'd be like being back in Tuscaloosa.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
