Best ever hunh? The emotional overreactions are just

Dawand Jones and Freeman were on the board, we don't pick again until the 5th and we take a ****ing kicker and a ****ing broken tight end.

Seahawks and Eagles got better.

This front office is so ****ing dumb. Holy ****.

K. Still a hyperbolic overreaction IMHO.

Seahawks and Eagles got new talent, but those players are not guaranteed to live up to their draft status. Maybe they got better, maybe they didn't... we'll see.

I think he meant, they at least attempted to get better.

And the guys we drafted isn't an attempt? You can't knock the front office for overdrafting but then not praise them for getting a great value pick in Brown. The same mocks that had Latu and Moody later had Brown going earlier than 87. Need + value makes it a great pick. The tight ends are even more highly regarded than what anyone thought, so maybe Latu waa drafted right where he should've been. I'm on record for hating the Moody pick and I stand by it. But we got the best kicker in the draft and of he pans out, it's at a fraction of the cost of Gould. All 3 will be starters or play significant snaps this year.

Also the Eagles getting better logic is like arguing Jalen Carter is better than Javon Hargrave. Even in my hope for Moody, at no point would I argue he's better than Gould. The Eagles are worse until proven otherwise. Still going to be a really good team, but I'm not crowning them on the strength of adding a guy who was 9 lbs heavier at his pro day and couldn't even finish his drills. Are you kidding me?

I wonder if the people worshipping at the altar of Jalen Carter were kicking Drake Jackson for wearing down as the season went on.

Good his name comes up @ this time because,...for everyone in other threads hoping and praying that we take a "safe" OLinemen with @ least 1 of our 2 highest remaining picks in the 5th,..... let's remind ourselves the McKivitz and Jaylon Moore are our last 2 5th round OL picks by this staff.

Given the round, were they good moves? And are you willing to wait for development if we go with OL in the 5th?

McKivitz has played decently in the few starts he has had. I just don't like the lack of competition.

McKivitz Is very happy with how this draft is going so far.

The Niners just restructured CMC's contract to save $8M. Doesn't that suggest signing or trading for a new player? Likely a starter?

More likely signing someone. Still some players out there.

With the pick of Dee Winter, a speedy Special Team LB, it is abundantly clear the staff is far more confident in McKivitz than we all thought.

He's Keith Fahnhorst, I'm telling you.

Not just that. 9ers just didn't value a weak OL draft all that much.

This.

Maybe an URFA or FA still available.

LMAO. It's the Mike McGlinchey approach...never bring in anyone to challenge him and get the best out of him.

You say this every year though.

Didn't say it the last two because they weren't weak years.

You just wanna sign and draft people to say you did it, I want value adds who can play.

I feel like mckivitz has a lot of competition?we have a handful of young guys on our roster and signed some guys. Nothing sexy but it's still there.

maybe we just didn't think there many guys worth drafting but the time our picks came around? I don't think it's any reason to be furious.

Odds of a 5-7 round pick coming in and being good enough to be the starter is a stretch. Lol

Command wants every pick to be an OL every year. Value be damned.

I think we should have more confidence in the guys we've been developing. Look at banks!? He sat a year and had a great year last year.

I think mckivitz and Burford will surprise some. I also think Nick Z may surprise some, apparently he's having a great off season and developing his body nicely.
