We're not taking someone we envision simply as a 3rd down rusher in the first round period. Not right now at least.

Teams like the Pats/Eagles have the luxury to take part time players in the first. 49ers are not one of those teams right now and need an impact player in the near future.

I agree with this 100%. In fact, that's been my entire point.

Aldon only rushed on 3rd downs his rookie year...

Dude he's been so gung ho on Landry only every being a situational pass rusher, regardless of what everyone has said or examples proving otherwise.

Which led to him becoming an alcoholic and threatening to blow up an airport. Its a vicious cycle.

I'm not talking about rookie yr. Don't really care about everyone else has said. There are clearly better players that will be at 9 and people seem caught up in need instead of talent.

Plenty of examples to also show that Landry will struggle against the run and may be best at rushing the passer on obvious pass downs instead of being a 3 down player.

Regarding Roquan, if the team had Foster highly rated last year it wouldn't surprise if they rated Smith the same. They both have similar qualities and he's clearly a playmaker at the second level.

Maybe he thinks we're still playing fangio's zone blitz defense.

My ideal draft - Landry, Shaquem Griffen, and Arden Key.

Yeah, got us a super bowl loss. Still it goes to show - if you have an elite edge rusher, your QB doesn't have to be elite. The first three picks last year were defense, I can feel that happening again this year.

What are you talking about? I'm fully aware of the defensive scheme we are playing.

Some of the stuff Roquan does is just plain silly.

But he's not an elite run defender



You know for all the teams that ran the ball 30+ times last yr...oh wait there was only 5. There was 31 teams that threw the ball 30+ times last yr though. Damn near last in the league on getting off the field on 3rd down...that's a problem.

Dude acts like Landry rolls over on the ground on run plays yet wrath has pointed out scheme, coaching, and players around him play a huge part

Watch that video with this at the same time. It amplifies everything.



I'm a sucker for football highlight videos with epic movie themes.

That's what you'll be doing when the 49ers don't draft Landry.
