I read that his father died in the Chesapeake Bay rescuing him after he fell off a boat at two years old. Then a few years later his brother was struck by lightning on a baseball field and died. Hot damn I will be pulling for this young man.

Bro if they draft less than 3 linemen with their first 6 picks I'm with you. Until then let's be happy with what are two very good moves. We are absolutely better at edge now.

Here here. Just to be clear, I was just pointing out their obvious M.O.

I'm perfectly fine with the players themselves. Like Hargrave last year. Just noting the team building philosophy and known strategy.

It's like a lot of you don't pay attention to your own squad. These dudes never have and never will dip there toes in the FA o line market. Some cheap depth pieces is about it. They will make a trade. They will pay a stud like TW but their strategy for better or worse is to spend later round draft resources on the o line. Don't be surprised when they draft and DT or another DE in the first round then got o line after that. It's what they do. s**t they might draft a random rb before an olineman.

My man. He knows.

"Building around Brock" = getting more DL.

I haven't looked at the cut-FA DT market but there should be a plethora of DT's we could get for cheap. I doubt they are even close to being done. They usually carry 10+ anyhow.

NC, you really should ask me before you use that word

Bwahahaha!!!

My bad.

We do need a plethora of piñatas (good O Lineman that can actually pass block). That has got to start in the draft

Ole'

My guess is he will kick inside on obvious passing downs since he has experience moving inside for Carolina. Lloyd-Gross-Hargrave-Bosa is a pretty pass rushing line

I think they hope he can play the Key/Omenihu role

Who?

Floyd.. it autocorrected to Lloyd

Who TF lets their two year olds fall into the open ocean? Sorry someone had to say it .

Parents can't watch their kids every second. It only takes a moment for a child to wander away. Young children drown in swimming pools all the time.

We spend ALOT of time on the water and there's ZERO excuse for a child of that age to not be in a life jacket 100% of the time.

Arguably would have #6 if this deal was done. The OL has been woefully ignored and it has bit the team in the ass in the only game that matters, twice. We'll see what happens in the draft, I'm not holding my breath. But I'm preaching to the choir.

49ers beat the Chiefs if CMC doesn't fumble on that first drive and Trent doesn't get penalized TWICE on the next drive. The difference in a blowout to a loss in OT. Are you going to criticize two of the best players in the entire league?
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but had the team prioritized the OL we wouldn't be having this discussion. Go back and look at all the plays dialed up for big plays to be made and the OL crapping the bed. It's been a consistent theme throughout Shanahan's time here.

Do we know he didn't have a life jacket? All I read was his father died trying to save him. Maybe it was his father that didn't have the life jacket. He would have dove into the water to save Yetur whether he had a life jacket on or not.

I guess I could have misunderstood the situation.

I think or hope they go OL draft picks 1, 2 and 3. dare to dream. OL go for a premium in FA. They did sign ben bartch to a one year deal.

I dig it. So if what that CAR fan said is true about him being a good pass rushing DT, is he also a good run stopping DE for base downs? $9 for a designated pass rushing DT is a lot so I'm hoping he can also pitch in as a good run stopping DE.

He's 260, he's not a DT. He played OLB for the Panthers in the 3-4 they ran last year.

Ok and? Key wasn't a DT and they played him here as a rush DT and he did well and got a decent pay day the next year. Just because he played something else in a crap organization doesn't t mean a good team doesn't have a different vision

Yeah pass rushing DT doesn't have to be 290+. Arden Key excelled in that role with the 49ers and he's like 250.

As did Charles Omenihu, but he has at least 20 lbs on Gross-Matos.

What??

Omenihu got snaps both on the edge and occasionally inside while he was here. That was the point I was making.
Really happy about this pick up

Same way we piss away draft picks. Seems like they just target guys in FA and the draft and say f**k value charts or projections, we know better than everyone lol

Three Super Bowl appearances in twelve years. I think they know what they're doing 🙄
