Puka Nacua instead of Ji'yir Brown
Chase Brown instead of Cameron Latu
Kobie Turner instead of Jake Moody

Yes!

At least the Brown pick made sense. Not a great player but it made sense.

Latu and Moody in that spot, where you can have any two players essentially in a row, and you do THAT....and the worst part is almost everyone agreed those were trash picks, from day 1

Guy is in his head at this point.

K is such a hard position to evaluate.

Moody will probably get cut, sign with the Chargers, and make his next 200 FGs with Harbaugh. That seems to be about right for 49ers' luck.

who cares. its a kicker. many kickers struggle on their first team then go to a different team and thrive.

kickers are replacement level commodity in the NFL

Sure. Just remember that when Bumnuts McGee off the street misses a kick for us next year, too.

Too many guys who come in off the street and hit everything to be stuck counting on a guy who is headcase.

why would I forget that ?

jake bates off the street is doing well for the lions this year

why spend a third rounder on a commodity than can be found in UDFA or even UFA ?

Lost cause. Maybe the pressure of being drafted high has screwed with his head.

I dont understand why people dont get that

You cannot get a Kobie Turner caliber player as a UDFA, but you can get a random Anders Carlson off his couch, and he will perform around the same level as a third round kicker

I agree.

I'm just saying it'll be annoying to see Moody succeed elsewhere since the 49ers are who invested in him.

But what has to be done has to be done.

Just don't use the 1st round pick this year to replace him.

Latu felt like such a desperate pick. In a strong TE draft, every TE that really was worth drafting was already gone so they decided that they were going to force the issue by taking a project with skillets for hands. Guy was a third round pick two years ago and he's not even on a practice squad right now.

Bring in like 4 kickers, vets and UDFA's and have a Hunger Games style competition to see who is left standing.

I have given this guy the benefit of the doubt time and again, but I think it's time to cut bait. He's way too inconsistent.

hes not an NFL level player, and it was obvious in pretty much nearly snap he took in preseason and TC.

I agree with you that its most likely what has happened. All TEs were picked before they panicked and were dead-set drafting a backup TE

I dont even think he was a project. Projects flash. Either athletic ability or receiving or blocking ability. He was just a player who wasnt even supposed to be drafted according to many experts.
