Ruiz and Andrew Thomas....and also Willis and Wirfs lol

Great to have "your guy" when it's about half the picks...if one does well "that's my guy"

and how dare you hate on Streets...backup nobody

Not true. It depends on the player. Like NY i am a bit concerned about Banks but i'm willing to see what he has.

I actually wanted our first round pick in 2012 to be Kelechi Osemele.

It's about the player and their value in comparison to other players. It's also about the cost in free agency relative to other positions.

Yeah it's a bunch of BS saying I don't want OL too. I've had mocks every yr and they always have OL in there....I will say I projected some damn good ones too. Wyatt Teller, Braden smith, Brian O'Neill come to mind right off the bat...I did have SF taking Josh Garnett though

I had SF taking Josh Bell/Kendrick Green this yr.

I liked the Banks pick because I do think it fills an important positional need and he has some upside in pass protection but Asante Samuel Jr was there and fit our defense as well.

I'm happy that we acquired more picks and traded up for Sermon. Before the draft I predicted we would take an offensive weapon higher than most assumed we would and we did. Sermon was in my only mock so I'm happy we got him.

I don't think I would change our first 3 selections this past draft.

Oh I would have. I don't hate Banks or Trey..I get the picks and think they will be fine.

IMO there were better players to be had and guys that played the same positions drafted later with better value. Overall outside of Lance I wasn't a massive fan of this draft. As long as he turns into a FQB that's all that matters

What I mean is I would have been very excited to have Asante Samuel but not at the cost of not trading back to acquire picks and move up for Sermon. I was extremely high on Trey Sermon and although we have success with finding RBs late, Sermon gives us an element I think we were lacking in the backfield.

Nah, it was Wirfs or Lamb. No other options if guys want to talk value like you are at 50 esp. when compared to a dime a dozen run stuffing DT with bad knees.

Right no OG there BECAUSE there wasn't a OG WORTH a top 50 pick...how hard is that to get?

Dude I don't want to be an ass but I'm sure when he was drafted your were like...who? oh an IOL he must be good.

According to you and your devalued view of guards. To others, like the 49ers finally, they're much further up the positional value board especially after what they've just been through NOT valuing guards especially those where their strength is pass protection.

That's all I'm saying.

Your personal value system would probably never have you draft a guard within the first two rounds unless it's a bonafide HOF guard like Quenton Nelson. LOL

What's devalued? There hasn't been a ton of GREAT IOL in these past drafts overall. Compared to a lot of other positions and who starts at those positions (and where they were drafted) you can make a strong case that OG has a f**k ton of starters that most certainly are not top 50 picks.

Like I said I'll bet money you had no clue who Banks was or what he was good at prior to being the pick. Not trying to be an ass about it either.

My personal value system had SF drafting some damn good lineman which included IOL. I most certainly do NOT think Banks is 40 picks better than Kendrick Green. I don't think he's better than Creed or Quinn Meinerz if we're just gonna look at IOL.

LOL yeah if Thomas was sitting there at 14 you would have wanted him all the same...If wirfs was gone you would have wanted Ruiz.

I know such bad knees, he was out there practicing today lol. No need to exaggerate to push this dumb narrative. s**t is old and stale dude.

Not at 14! Ruiz? LOL...at the end of the first and at C only.

Kinlaw will always be on-off just like last year. Knees weren't made to support a freak-body like that. LOL

It starts with your personal belief system. That's going to influence your value draft board. You've proven that. To me, you devalued the position.

Of course I knew who Banks was. He was in your OL draft thread!

That's cool if you value those three with him. I can understand why. But you still wouldn't take any of them with the first 50 picks. That's my point.

I know and Wrifs at 345lbs will just have amazing knees too lol.

I'll take Trent, Kin, Aiyuk over Wirfs & Clyde Edwards-Helaire (who MM said SF was taking at 31) all day.

Never heard a peep from you about Banks….nothing.

Again it all depends on who's on the board…there were better prospects on the board hence why they weren't draft until later. I do not think Banks was a top 50 player in this draft regardless of his position, Toss in that he's playing RG and only that, yes it does lower his value.

it's one of the least impactful positions in the league. Money reflects that as well.

Seems the proper way to fan is root for Banks to fail so you can prop up Mitchell and talk about a dime a dozen run blocking guard ad nauseam

Ignoring of course that Banks biggest strength is his size and straight ahead run blocking.

Right lol? Yeah I'll be rooting for Banks. I hope he's a monster.

His strength is pass protection. Kind of important in a passing league.
