I wonder if we would have considered him if we would have kept Buckner and not needed to draft Kinlaw?

We should have drafted him, he was BPA at the time.
We did not Need to draft Buckner's replacement with our first round pick. There were red flags, and the team ignored them.

If we kept Buckner then we lose Armstead and the team probably has the same DT need when making the first pick (whatever it changes to b/c of the Armstead/Buckner difference)

True, I forgot about that situation.

We are most likely always going DL over OL if there is a need.

Prices just keep going up

We are having terrible timing with these signings.

great publicity for the team.

Storyline on NFL network, sportscenter if fire!

They need Williams more than Aiyuk. The WR group is still good without BA. If Williams isn't in the O line they're in real trouble. Brock running for his life. CMC getting stuffed.

I sadly agree so it's wise Kyle and John loaded up on o-line prospects this last deaft. Especially at tackle.

They need both. You can't have Deebo as your #1 WR, You just can't. Deebo vs Sauce Gardner, Yeah good luck with that.

Yes, but this shows the problem of drafting for need instead of BPA. When we went on the clock, I admit I screamed CeeDee Lamb!!! Then I thought wait a minute...we should be on the phones right now trying to trade McGlinchy, and then draft Wirfs. That was before McGlinshy's big drop off, and I think we could have gotten a 2nd rounder for him. I personally would have aimed for a Wirfs/Robert Hunt combo, but if they were set on replacing DT early they could have easily gone Wirfs and Raekwon Davis. Still the biggest reason fans hate trading away Buckner, was because of the way we wasted the pick.

A lot of us wanted Wirfs. Fine we got Trent after which then made some sense, but most scratched their heads at kinlaw. It is safe to say if we drafted wirfs and still traded for TW we would have been better the last 4 years. They have built a great roster despite some glaring missies /blunders early in the draft.

if Trent is being unreasonable it's going to be interesting.
