Shanny has said, you really don't know what you have until you get them in the build with the organization, regarding the draft picks.

Kyle has a relatively good hit rate with regards to QB's - relatively speaking to other coaches. He hit on Jimmy. Keep in mind, *nobody* knew what or who Jimmy was really, until he played in Kyles offense and went 5-0 in 2017. Prior to that, he was an unknown quantity, not unlike Purdy before the Miami game. Reid had his Jimmy in McNabb until - 17 years later - he hits on Patrick. So, as the saying goes, luck is sometimes spelled W.O.R.K. Kyle is supposed to be an offensive genius. Well, that is supported by the fact that he was able to luck into finding a Purdy in the 7th round. At least it didn't take Kyle 17 years to find Brock.
I wonder if there's an active purpose to supplement the top end qb with a later round prospect. Shanny and dad did the same with RG3 and then Cousins in the later round. They got Trey and then a year later got Brock in the 7th. They had an idea of Cousins and Brock, but no way he would know Brock would be this good before drafting him.
Agree 💯%, they didn't know who they got. If they *knew* what they had, they'd have picked him in the fourth round - or earlier. I believe that's the grade Brock got in the 49er pre-draft evaluations. Knowing what they know now, they would have picked him MUCH earlier, for sure. It pays to be lucky. Kyle was lucky in finding Brock, for sure.
Could you image the webzines reaction if they drafted him in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Btw we should factor in the timing component. This draft was before Treys second season. The need to draft a QB was very low.

Just looking at Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, and Zach Wilson's stats - they are all horrible. These guys match the classic *big armed QB's* that everybody is looking for but the results are terrible for their respective teams. Finding a franchise QB is really more about trial and error than any sophisticated QB scouting procedure, for sure.
Edelman describes jimmy G perfectly around the 14:30 minute mark or so. Lol he also had some nice things to say about what Brock's done and how he processes the game.

Yeah, that was funny, but true.
Criminal that she left - she was the heartbeat of that show.

Dallas will test Brock's poise, perhaps more than any other game. The competition will be intense and physical. Whether or not we win, if he can maintain that assassin's demeanor, he's definitely on his way to achieving all of great things we think he can.
He did it against Dallas in a playoff game when that team had all the motivation in the world to cut our heads off. Only thing I'm looking to see is if he can have a good to great game against a great team.
Too bad Dallas best corner got hurt and is out for the year. We always want to play them at their best so there's no excuses. However, something about Dak when the pressure is highest he makes bad plays. Like his clock management errors.
Agree 💯%, I wish Digg's didn't get hurt. That could be us with (not going to mention any names), and so that sucks for Dallas and now we don't really know how good Dallas is because one of their players is hurt. So, in a sense, when the 49ers play Dallas, we really don't know how good the 49ers are - win or lose. Unfortunately.
What in the world does this mean? I am flabbergasted.
I'm still trying to figure out this logic especially after what happened to Dallas today, lol.
