Yeah, let's not hyperbolize things. First, the 49ers already have studs on the roster in Kittle and Deebo, so let's not pretend there's nobody to throw to. Second, the draft doesn't end after they select at 13. They have more picks including the 31st overall. Finally, this is a ridiculously deep WR draft. There's going to be a surplus of options for them after 13.

Anything Is possible regarding the draft. I just can't see Shanny and Lynch passing up the opportunity to draft one of the Elite receivers of this draft class. I believe that's why they didn't rush to re-sign Sanders too. Shanny probably licking his lips at the thought of drafting one of the top 3 receivers.

Agreed. It was one of their biggest weaknesses.

And the fact that they did nothing in FA for a stud O lineman or WR is a problem when it comes to the draft

Yeah, I agree - no way after not signing Sanders - do we pass on one of the receivers at #13.

If Maiocco is right and Staley only 50/50 to return and Shanalynch wants to draft a tackle at #13, it was irresponsible not to sign Sanders on that deal he got from the Saints. We could have afforded that.

Zero problems with a tackle at #13 if we retained Sanders.

Might be Thomas at #13 now and trade back with #31 to 2nd round and acquire an additional 3rd and get a WR and then CB/IOL.

I have zero problem with a Tackle at #13, as long as we stay at #31 and take a WR there.

I don't mind a T at #13 either but feel better about Jeduy/Ruggs coming in and starting quickly and making an impact than I do the next tier of WRs. THat is the rub for me. WRs can take longer to develop and we need an elite plug and play guy now.

But sh** if Staley is 50/50 to play THIS year then have to draft Thomas at #13. Staley hopefully is communicating more clearly with Shanalynch so they know if we will have Staley for at least this year.

Even if Staley retires I still don't buy they draft a Tackle at 13. McGlinchey would have no problem sliding at LT. And anyone with PFF numbers could show that Brunskill wasn't too bad at RT filling in for McGlinchey.

You have to wonder if the season is delayed or shortened or even cancelled, what effect it will have on Staley's decision. I don't know if he would sit out a full year and then still come back and play.

This is based on what? He was a significantly better RT than LT at Notre Dame. Tons of former NFL tackles have emphasized how difficult it is switching sides.

How would the draft go NEXT year if there isn't a season this year????

What is the draft order? Cannot just give Cincy another #1 pick.

This offense won't peak without that WR. Ball gets out in 2.5 seconds anyway from play action.

Only reason why we would draft a OT is if we want to power run.

Matt Miller saying Niners take a WR or CB at #13. It's the smart thing to do. Don't overthink it Lynch

I think Brunskill would be asked to play Lt should Staley decide to retire.

Because he played LT in college, significantly better or not McGlinchey knows the playbook, has NFL experience and I'm willing to bet Shanahan wouldn't hesitate to put him there.

That's the thing - what type of receiver are we getting later on in the draft? Because we're definitely trading down from #31 - so we're looking at picking in the 2nd or 3rd rounds if we get a good trade.

The big curveball will be drafting a tackle even with Wills, Becton, Thomas, and Wirfs gone.........

Why didn't Shanahan try that in 2019 when Staley went down then?

Skule was garbage as a backup LT (62.3 grade and allowed 6 sacks even though Garoppolo was getting the ball out quickly). If our line is fine with McGlinchey at LT and Brunskill at RT, why didn't we make that adjustment last year?

There are four guys in the draft who were better LTs in college than McGlinchey. I'd rather draft one of them and keep McGlinchey at RT. I'm not sold on Brunskill being a solid starter at RT despite 474 snaps where he had a pretty good PFF grade.
