We will never know the whole truth to the drafting of Brock.

Lol, incorrect. Regardless, I understand that the Yorks are a joke and this organization isn't remotely the same as the 80-90s 49ers. Neither is the league.

Jed found a highly successful coach that can coexist with both Paraag and himself. Try to remember how we got here.

49ers went from bottom tier organization(after sucking dry whatever we had left from the dynasty years) under John York to the leagues bridesmaid under Jed.

They were scrapping the bottom of the barrel for years and years after they fired Harbaugh. With no plan in place. A case of characters at head coach. They got so bad they got good again. By stockpiling top 10, top 5, top 3 picks. It's the York family way. Suck so bad you own the draft for years and get good again. Because you have so many high draft picks and nowhere to go but up.

I'm not sure I'm giving him "credit" for that.

I'd say marring up was pretty smart also.

I swear people would rather have the 2005 team than the 2011-15 and 2019-????

I remember the one thing that kept me from being completely down on the Niners in those days were "at least they have the most super bowls and never lost in one"

…that bragging right has been long gone for some time.

Agreed. I think it might be a bit of character repair as well. Remember, at one time, John York was the most despised owner in 49er football. Has anyone forgotten the dumpyork.com website?

I do. I was on it!.🙄.. ( hides head in shame)

Total combined SBs for all those teams = 0.

But you're right. All those 2nd place trophies is quite the honor. Success !

Rather have I doubt. Not smart enough to know the difference is more like it.

Yeah, in this case "push" seems to be strong language. He kinda just said let's step back and just simplify things because it's pick 262.

Regardless, Dr. York was never up to being a sports franchise owner. Just not his thing. On the other hand, he's helped countless people with his cancer research and overall medical career, so he has that going for him.

I didn't know John York even paid any attention to the draft. Why would he want them to draft Purdy? Does he know the family or something.?

Choosing someone last in the draft isn't a bold move. I highly doubt York is paying attention to 7th round picks in the draft. Their boldest move and biggest failure was Trey Lance.

Everyone trying to take credit for guy they couldn't identify in a photo lineup April 2022.

York said draft BPA, that was Brock (4th rd grade).
