Trade for Brown and then yes

I thunk Lynch has done a great job this off season in free agency even though they didn't have a ton of cap space. He's addressed nearly every position of need already and we still have 11 picks in the draft. The pickup of Hargrave was by far rthe biggest but he jumped on that right away before any other team could get involved.

Nice job John.

Go Panthniners!

I concur.

It looks to me like Lynch is trying to address every position of need by adding free agents. Even if they aren't great it makes it possible to draft players based on quality rather than players that they need. They will still probably draft guys at DB, O line, and edge but they don't need to feel like they have to pick someone at one of those positions just because they need to fill it. If there's a quality player that slipped down and is sitting there when they pick they can draft him even if it wasn't a huge need. You can never have too many good players. It gives you depth and the ability move on from someone at contract time. They can also use multiple picks to move up since they won't have as many positions that have a pressing need.

If you go back at the beginning of this thread there were a lot of doubters about the hiring of Lynch because he had no experience. No doubt he's made his share of mistakes and I'm sure he would be the first to admit them if you asked.

Still, he and Kyle along with Paraag managed to rebuild a team that was one of the worst in all of football and get them into the SB within 3 years. That's no small feat. If you think it's not just ask fans from teams all around the league that have never been to a SB. Lynch seems to be learning from past mistakes which shouldn't be surprising. That's the type of player he was. Whatever he lacked in athleticism he made up for with brains and determination.

You absolutely NAILED it!

I'm kinda surprised with how many free agents we added so far. they have made it clear that they will have one of the deepest teams in the NFL by bringing in starters from other teams to server as backups on the Niners.

The 2019 49ers had an unreal coaching staff and front office.

Makes it even more unfathomable that they couldn't close the deal in the Super Bowl.
