Let loose. Say what needs to be said.

I don't think it's homers per se, well maybe lol. But I think we all know though when they don't go with the guys you think they should go with, you will pan their draft. When they do (I.e the 2014 draft) you effusively praise it. And that's not really specific to you though MD, as that seems common for a lot of fans. I think that's why post draft grades/reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt. Appreciate you analysis as always this year

Mine ended up as:

1. Nick Bosa DE
2. Hakeem Butler WR
3. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson FS
4. Dru Samia G
5. Justin Hollins DE/LB
6. Kelvin Harmon WR
6. Te'Von Coney LB
6. Jordan Brown CB

Obviously, some of those guys went a lot later than I took them. And we will never know how late the guys the 9ers picked would have gone had we not picked them in that spot. In hindsight I'd have taken Adderly and then Butler later on. Or some other combination like that. But it's a fun exercise. It will be interesting how this class turns out. And also how our picks look vs Lynch's. Especially if we keep this up over the years.

I'm looking forward to it after watching what happened on day 2 and 3.

The homers praise anything the team does. The team could pick a player that was 7th round value in the first round, and the homers will defend it to the death. If another team had picked that player, they would howl in laughter.

In other words, I define a homer as someone who thinks a player suddenly becomes better once they put on a Niners' jersey. Doesn't work that way.

Remember the Praise to Baalke thread? That was homerism on steroids.

Can't disagree with that MD, however I also remember the opposite end of that spectrum faction that would s**t on anything Baalke (or Lynch today) did because it didn't align with what they felt should be done...even when he was making the right picks/moves early on. I prefer a middle ground where there isn't so much bias involved

Well I went for a bike ride and missed rounds 4-7 live. But I would not have drafted a punter in the 4th round.

With that, my picks would have been:

1. Bosa
2. AJ Brown
3. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

Since I didn't watch the other rounds live, I don't the option of picking guys and not knowing where they went (CGJ still available in the 4th round at 104). So, since I took CGJ with my 3rd round pick, I wouldn't take Redwine. So here's my armchair picks:
4. Dru Samia
5. Blake Cashman
6. Jimmy Moreland
6. Caleb Wilson
6. Kris Boyd

Although I am sad that we passed on AJ Brown, I still like Deebo Smith, he will be very good in Shanahan's offense.

The pick of Hurd was not who I would have picked, but after learning more about this guy and seeing him play, I am very excited to see him in this offense. I have huge hopes for this guy.

My pick of CGJ was more out of need. The only two FS I liked in this draft was Savage and Thornhill. I think they are the only two who can do well in a single high safety defense. So, in the end, I think that Hurd will be more successful than CGJ.

The punter pick was not necessary in my opinion. But, how many 4th round picks make it on the team past their rookie contract? Not many. So, I'm not going to sweat any pick past the third round. To me, those players need to be on this team for the long haul.

It will be fun reading this thread in 4-5 years to see how smart we all were.

1: Nick Bosa, DE
2: Dalton Risner, OG/OT
3: Hakeem Butler, WR
4: Amani Owuriyae, CB
5: Mitch Wishnowsky, P
6: Lamont Gaillard, OG
6: Terrill Hanks, LB
6: Emmanuel Hall, WR

I mean, this team could pick a 27 year old punter at the top of the 4th round and Homer's would justify it some way; praise it even going to extreme lengths.

Wait...

Haha. I was certainly one of those homers always looking towards the best possible outcome on this board and supporting every move and non-move made by the FO. I had my own plans and ideas I mapped out elsewhere but I get it. We're all Homer's at heart. Eventually I stopped doing that and let the evidence lead the ways...more balanced and objective. The rash of injuries delayed my objectivity a year for sure...never looked back. But the defenders-of-all (extremes) are as bad as the trolls, no doubt. Welcome to the zone!
