John Lynch - 49ers GM

I like the draft a lot more at this point after seeing it play out more. But I still feel it's top heavy on gadget players that Kyle likes. Not enough meat and potatoes. Offensive line on the right side and Defensive line interior were needs. As is LB with the Greenlaw injury. Especially ignoring Offensive line with all but 1 pick up until now is unconscionable. We needed more than 1 offensive linemen. Multiple positions. Maybe even higher. I like the one we got. But we continue to ignore this. There is no way you could watch this team and think we need 1 Offensive linemen in the draft. It's just unbelievable. Some good players but still missing on needs. At some point they have to FORCE picking Offensive line. Many and high up too. We can't keep doing this. At this point the one we got has to work out, stay healthy and play multiple positions. That's a lot to ask.

Didn't address most of the glaring issues, run-stuffing DT, centerfield FS, 60% of the OL. Puni was a decent pickup and Green addresses a need but was a reach and not a great scheme fit to boot.

All the OLs that would be first-year starters were gone by #31. At that point, you look for BPA in a position of need. At this very early point, it looks like they did that. We could quibble over 10-15 slots but they picked quality players.

They just picked an OG from a quality program that will add some depth.

Gonna sound weird but I wouldn't have minded going d line as well. It feels like after missing out on kinlaw and Jackson and arnstead injured, we lost our edge in the trenches. Trent is the only physically dominant player there. Bosa is a great rusher but also became a liability in the run game.

Not really. Bosa is still one of the best run-stuffing edges in the game among elite pass rushers.

I like the one they got and he's one of my favorite picks in this years draft for this team. But I just feel we should have done more and earlier on the Offensive line. We have a lot of needs there. Instead they loaded up on Kyle gadget players for the offense. I don't think we need more of those. Assuming we are healthy at least. We have to fix that Offensive line if we ever want to win the Super Bowl.

We really need a run-stopping nose. It's been a need for a couple years now and the FO keeps piling up undersized penetrators.

I personally don't like the draft even after it's played out. I agree with your points of needs. I'm surprised they didn't go LB too. 100% agree about oline.

Going 2 WRs fairly early and a RB somewhat early is a killer for me for this draft. So many more important areas to address and other players we could've gone. Other than QB, I think RB and WR were our least areas of concerns going into the year.

Agree. We still don't have that guy. Need a guy for 2 downs only to really maximize the Hargrave signing. I think the 49ers just intend to play from ahead as their run defense.
