I think there are plenty of WR's for some keen competition...not counting on Hurd, but there are several other guys including Jennings I think can provide Jimmy/Lance plenty of good targets. Beyond getting our QB of the future, this draft was more about beefing up the OL and adding significant firepower to the backfield. Have to remember Mostert, Wilson and Gallman are only signed for this season. Of them, maybe one or possibly two are likely to be re-signed. My first choice would be Wilson, who showed last year how good he really is. I'm stoked about both Banks and Moore...Aaron's a huge man, but Coach says don't be fooled by it, he can move. I read he's an excellent pass protector. Moore may shift inside, we'll see. The important thing is these guys can help build the OL corps into a real strength. RG has been problematic for too long & I see Banks as the guy to change that. Thomas and Lenoir should be pretty competitive for roster spots...again, only Moseley's signed beyond this season. Really like Hufanga, the S out of USC. We're obviously going to play a good deal of smash-mouth football, which is music to my ears. It'll help Jimmy/Lance in terms of play-action, no doubt. Long drives keep opponents on the sidelines and give our defense the rest they'll need. I really like what ShanaLynch did in this draft...no nonsense, kick-butt approach.
I see the first 7 picks as making it, they're not gonna cut Thomas after taking him in the 3rd, also Lenoir I think makes it. the only pick I'm unsure about is Mitchell.
I think the Sermon pick seals the deal for Mostert not being here in 2022, he's 30 or so, wanted a new deal last yr, after he signed a 3yr deal the yr before. I think Wilson re-signs, and Gallman if he indeed makes it, no GTD money, but should make it.
Agree, it will be interesting what the 49ers can get for Mostert if they decide to move on from him.
Yeah, I'd prefer to keep all 5 backs, I know that sounds crazy, but I have a feeling Kyle will fall in love with Mitchell, and won't want to get rid of any of them. If we did, and Mostert gets traded, I think a 4th rd pick is fair, if Breida got us a 5th, Raheem should get us a 4th, both were on 1yr deals or in last yr of their deals.
