To me, it's as much a fit as Bosa in our scheme. He's the ideal C3/man outside. Tall, lengthy, physical, great ball skills and at the point if attack and absolute shutdown through first 2.5 seconds. That's a younger Sherm.

it was 3yrs $27M with a s**t ton of incentives.

I'm not debating playing a rookie QB vs a rookie CB. I'm saying you can find scheme fit CBs later...ton of good zone DBs. This D is based around the DL.

you're spending up for CBs (whether it's draft/free agency) if they're man CBs...something we don't do a ton of compared to the rest of the league.

There's a bunch of good C3 prospects that fit the bill...I'll be shocked if they draft a CB at 12.

Yes, but, those incentives, if met, meant a top paid corner. His performance in 2019 pushed his 2020 earnings to 14m. That means they're willing to pay high for high production at CB. It was 3/27 because Sherm bet on himself.

While there are good prospects, they're also looking at watching the Spoon project from hindsight. He was a perfect scheme fit/prospect but wasn't blue chip. Surtain is and, IMO is can't miss for this scheme. We don't have a long term answer at either CB spot. #12 on CB isn't a stretch by any means.

I don't see that happening at all....our defense is built around the DL and getting pressure on the QB. They run some sort of zone shell like 70% of the time.

You're not drafting a zone corner at 12 overall. That's for straight up man/press guys and we don't do that overall.

Ton of good zone guys in the middle rounds.

if you think they're drafting CB you're gonna be let down.

I doubt it, but I like the versatility a corner like that brings.

I also hear the calls for QB and it makes sense if Jimmy isn't the guy. Hoping he is the guy AND is willing to lower his cap number.

I doubt seriously that we draft a QB, anywhere in this draft. If we do it'll be be in the first round, or not at all. I've made this point before, when we extended Rosen that indicated to me that they weren't gonna be in the QB sweepstakes in this years draft:

I think picking up Josh Rosen on the cheap wasn't a bad move. I really don't see us drafting a QB high in the draft (if at all), at least not this season. Shanny & Lynch need to refrain from drafting a project QB - i.e. anything other than a 1st round QB. Shanny and Lynch have 4 seasons left on their contracts. They don't have a lot of time to be d!cking around with day 2, mid-round, FA project QB's. And with all the looming FA's they don't have the luxury of wasting picks on QB's they have to spend more than a season to develop. So, IMHO, we either draft a QB with the 12th pick or don't draft a QB at all in 2021. I see us developing Rosen, and drafting a QB in next year's draft depending on how things turn out this season. I don't think Rosen takes more than a season to develop. Plus, I think Shanny & Co. wants another season out of Jimmy G. That don't mean they won't put a bid in for Dehaun Watson, as they should. But at this point our best option is to stay with the QB's we have on the roster, hope Jimmy can stay healthy, and hope Rosen . . . can realistically push Jimmy for playing time. If Rosen shows us anything I think that puts an extremely short leash on Jimmy (as it should) and forces Jimmy to stay available.

Now, we just extended T. Williams to the biggest contract for an O-lineman, picked up Alex Mack (which I really loved), extended Juice, re-signed D.J (which I loved), and look to be extending/signing more. From a financial standpoint this won't make sense. At present we already have a $28.1 mil cap hit at the QB position alone. Add that on top of ow much a 1st round rookie QB makes! This is a SB-ready team. Drafting a QB in the 1st to sit on the bench, while sounds good, isn't smart financially for this team.

We'd be better off filling other holes that'll be playing THIS season. And for me, CB is that hole we need to be filling with our top pick.

I'm going future FQB. We shouldn't have the opportunity to do this in the near future, but just like when Reid had Alex, they were just good enough to be a playoff team. If the goal is to be a dynasty you draft that FQB and let him n learn and develop. In. 2 years when we need to sign Bosa and our WRs we have the QB savings. Plus anyone rolling and confident Jimmy G will suddenly be iron man is a much more aggressive bettor than me. I don't think Jimmy gets any respect, and when healthy in the playoffs we've had to go run heavy to reduce his exposure.
The idea that anyone thinks they know what we are doing at 12 is laughable. The moves made in free agency could not have been anymore precisely designed to be able to go BPA at 12. They did exactly what they had to do to have a starter quality player at every spot and are free to draft to improve not to fill need. Who ever slides....that is our guy. QB, CB,OL, Edge...doesn't matter.

Fair enough. That can push center to day 3 since we have 2 years to develop said player, but I'd prefer a guy that can play immediately if necessary.

I doubt it, but I like the versatility a corner like that brings.

He has no reason to lower his cap number...

You want him out of town on the next thing smoking and he has no reason to lower his cap number? Okay.

Technically, no he doesn't. But if he's as limited as you perceive him to be, he will want all the talent he can possibly get on this team.

No body knows, but that's what mock drafts, these boards, and all those experts are all about. The WZ usually locks in on a guy like Mac and is severely disappointed when we draft DL again...

At least we don't have a nut that writes his picks in a sealed envelope or picks injured redshirt players who could have been 1st rounders had they not had this career threatening injury in college.

I see your thinking. I don't really disagree with that. However, after we extended Rosen, and the massive extensions that we HAVE to do (Warner, Bosa) before their rookie deal ends, you really think that the smart thing to do financially?

I have the same concerns - and frustrations - about Jimmy G. as everyone else. But like it or not, unless we're signing Watson, Jimmy is our best option. And since we're talking about a SB-ready team it makes more sense to sure up and fill holes that will have the biggest bang for the buck:

- starting CB opposite of Verrett (top need)
- a starting slot CB (K. Williams likely gets picked up by the Jets)
- shoring up the O-line (need an interior O-lineman)
- Ford's replacement
- starting safety (hopefully Sherman re-signs and make the switch)
- D-line depth (because we're gonna lose a lot of it)

That's just a few. It makes better financial sense to build and secure around Jimmy.

We're thinking similar. I'm good with Jimmy as a starter for 1-2 years, while our rookie QB learns the NFL game and is tutored by Shanny. Then by year 3 at the most, Jimmy moved on, we save over $20M on his annual contract, then sign one of those other key guys.

Don't be a spoilsport These conversations are fun for fans all over the nations. Of course nobody knows who their team will pick. But it's a lot of fun predicting it, hence mock drafts.

If there's one thing I've observed about Lynch, Shanny & Co. drafting is that they are the antithesis of BPA. Shanny demands scheme-fit, up and down the roster (which makes mocking 49ers drafts even more fun). Even with late round flyers have fitting skills that Shanny uses. He's stubbornly steadfast on that, talent be damned. Shanny isn't drafting players that don't fit the scheme, no matter how talented they me be.

For example, for years I've been banging the drum for us to draft a physical big-body WR. Over and over Shanny simply would pass on them. He finally did it with Hurd. But when you look at what Hurd can do it makes total sense, namely his versatility and athleticism. And for a player his size he possesses fluidity to run very good routes. You just don't find those in combination in most physical big-bodies. In Shanny's hands a healthy Jalen Hurd is a lethal weapon.

Question: How has BPA worked for Dallas?

I think we went run heavy because it was working. I swear it seemed like we were running at a clip of 7ypc. It was like the 95 Huskers or something. If it wasn't working, I doubt Kyle would've ran like that.
Its good that we shored up the three points. Niners believe in center and the tackles, so we will never shore up the middle. Think of the theory on triangles. However, if they are thinking of the future and don't want to reisign McG past his option, they may shore up the middle with Rashawn Slater and kick him outside. Very athletic and strong, just shorter than people want in height and arm length.

Plus if you want to take the run game to the next level and have good insurance. Not a bad pick. Fits niners MO of building within the trenches first. Though DB, trade back and DE are possibilities. Maybe even QB. Though if they get Flacco, that might be out.

I think they have made some nice moves. I feel like Shanahan and Lynch think they are ready for a super bowl run. I get the feeling they thought that last year. They blow up the draft and only draft 5 player. I think they will do the same thing this year trade up and get what ever player they thing put them over the top. I'm not sure what position that will be, I get a feeling it will be a QB. I do not feel like the team is one player away. I think the team needs starting guard and O line depth, there back up are not cutting it. They need DB they should have drafted some last year. They need pass rush help, and they need a franchise QB. Can you do all of that in one draft. Not really only if you get really lucky and find some of the players in later rounds. I think there are some nice Offensive line that can be drafted in the second and third round that have a chance to develop into good players. The Dillon Radunz, Creed Humphrey, Quinn Meinerz are the type of O line that build depth and step in next year when player leave or are not resigned. I think Jalen Mayfield would be a nice top 20 pick that could play Guard this year and move out to tackle next year if McGlinchey leaves or is not playing well. Will they do anything for the O line probably another 6th rounder. As of right now one injury on the o line and there the same spot they where last year. One last thing Trent Williams is most likely going to miss somewhere between 1 and 4 games and they will have a back up in at left tackle.
