Now that I think about it...

…The draft didn't go as well as I originally though and I'm kinda pissed.

  1. It's like nobody has faith in Moore yet. Does he really need 2.5 rookies to back him up??

  2. We still only drafted one D linesman.

  3. I don't understand why we picked up Wallace Wright along with all these WR draft picks. Now we have 7 wide outs, even though we're a team that rarely uses our #3 guy.

  4. Armanti Edwards could've been snatched further down.

  5. Do we really need three more defensive backs??

I thought the draft went well considering who the picks actually are, but all together… Some picks just seem like wastes.

Don't get me wrong, they were all great picks, but we barely addressed our D line, which was our biggest concern entering the draft.

I was wondering the same thing regarding the DL situation but with all the DL that were taken in the draft, Fox might be preparing to garbage pick and make a DL out of those guys. Similar to what we did with the OL a couple years back

i disagree. d-line was the 2nd biggest need. wide receiver was the biggest. steve smith will be 31 this season and he's the only reliable receiver we have. we've tried in the past to draft guys hoping they'd turn into something and none have. we had to draft a bunch this year in hopes that one or two have long term potential. we have plenty of average to undersized defensive tackles. there weren't any good huge nose tackles that we could've gotten that i know of. what did you want us to do?

You're all tearing me up about this, but of all teams in the NFL, we don't need to draft 3 wide outs. Yeah, they can help on special teams, and yes, we can cut Jarrett and Kenny Moore. But our D Line has no depth what so ever. We could use free agency I guess, but I don't see us being very active at all, as usual.

Hoe does the DLine not have depth? You should recheck the roster.

If anything depth is the strength.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
