From ESPN:

First, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith pumped up his biceps.

When you pump up your biceps, you develop some swagger.

When you develop some swagger, you go 13-3 as a starter and advance to the NFC Championship Game.

When you go 13-3 and reach the NFC Championship Game, you get a little cocky.

When you get a little cocky, you suggest you could beat out Peyton Manning in an open QB competition.

When you suggest you could beat out Peyton Manning, you suddenly realize Pro Bowl voters robbed you.

When you think Pro Bowl voters robbed you, you resent a rookie from a 6-10 team going to Hawaii instead.

When you resent a rookie going instead of you, you take unsolicited shots at Cam Newton's credentials.

When you take unsolicited shots at Cam Newton's credentials, stud linebacker Jon Beason rips you on Twitter.

When stud linebacker Jon Beason rips you on Twitter, your friend Patrick Willis, who is even studlier, rallies to your defense.

When someone as studly as Patrick Willis rallies to your defense, you start to feel invincible.

When you start to feel invincible, you contemplate a career in the UFC.

When you opt for a career in the UFC, Brazilian mixed-martial artist Junior dos Santos pummels you into oblivion.

Don't get pummeled into oblivion.

Embrace the low-keyed style that worked so well for you in the past.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
