What's been worse? I guess Watson and Trey lance, but 49ers got a 4th round pick back and lucked out on Purdy in round 7 so Lance didn't set them back at all. 

I'd say Walker, Watson, & Lance have arguments.  Depending how this works out, we'll definitely be in discussion for #1.  Honestly, every trade we've made under fit has been terrible.  All reaches, needy grabs or an unnecessary roster purge for spare parts. 

Never a true "we wanted this specific guy" trade. 

Darnold was just awful comp.  He should've netted maybe one 3rd and a late rounder. 

Corral was obviously the last QB left they liked and we didn't have capital to trade higher (desperation & bad scouting..Howell was there). 

Brandon Smith was this grab based on a RAS score (Fitt's crack)

DJJ was the last remaining on their EDGE tier (desperation move and badly scouted EDGE board)

CMC was desperation setup for gaining picks back after losing a ton in the above terrible trades

Then we immediately use the picks gained from CMC for a bonker #1 overall trade up (which never works)

I said elsewhere...the ones we didn't take:

2021 Trade Down would've gained an extra future 1st.  But we stubbornly took Horn.

2022 Burns Trade for (2) 1sts

 

Just terrible, desperate, needy bologna.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
