I've seen lower suggestions than that.

Not sure how it ultimately shakes out but yeah, it's looking like a pretty big whiff.

If they cant get a 2nd for him, I would just keep him and play him until Purdy is healthy. Maybe his stock can go up some....

Regarding Purdy...

That possibility makes some analysts think the 49ers are more likely to hang on to Lance.

If they were to part ways with him with Purdy still injured and Sam Darnold being the only other option though, yikes 😬

Yeah....with that news, no way they let Lance go for cheap.

Just saw an interview with Jalen Carter about the terrible situation that he was at least involved with where 2 people lost their lives. He said teams will probably take that against him.  He said absolutely nothing about the victims or anything about the situation.  He had Drew Rosenhaus sitting right beside him.  I just wouldn’t touch this dude in this draft.  He is out of touch with reality

The talk was Atlanta at #8, but I imagine there was more press than here about this situation there.

That's your reason. Why would he talk about the accident?

 

He's trying to get drafted. This is why you hire an agent. They keep it about football.

 

 

My point was he needed to be that closely monitored by his agent even in an interview.  That doesn’t feel right to me

I agree it sucks he didn't mention it, but that's not why they are interviewing him so I can see both sides.

He said that he wanted to tell his side.  However, if you are interviewing a player involved in this horrible event sitting on his couch before the draft, the issue is character.  His agent on the couch was not there for cosmetics--he knows he has a delicate situation and did not want his client to be compromised by a reporter--but the risk of his character being damaged was real and the comment Shocker makes is a fair one.  However, I can say that any comment he makes could probably be used against him--so any good lawyer would advise him to not discuss the victims.  You have to imagine the tape being played in court--"I feel so badly for the people who died." The jury could equate that with guilt or responsibility--I have not been keeping up with the details, so I am just speculating.

Drew Rosenhause has been in a lot of interviews with his clients. I think you're reading too much into it. He's a kid and was probably scared of the spotlight.

 

That is fair…I understand the legal implications.  Why are we here though?  He has had serious questions about character outside of this incident.  I hope he succeeds but I wouldn’t pick him, too many red flags

He's still rated as a top 3 prospect in the draft. Some team will take him my bet is Philly.

 

He cost himself a few extra mil though he was going to be the 1st defensive player off the board before the accident.

 

Brandon Miller from Alabama had a similar situation. I don't remember him doing a public interview. These are kids at the end of the day. At that age I would be scared to talk in public as well.

You could be right but my tolerance for spending a top 10 pick on a guy with these red flags is much lower than yours.  The guy is a super talent but could be a huge headache

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
