NYniner picked him with our last 4th round comp pick in his draft. Fine player but hard to be excited about getting him 2 rounds before he was projected to be taken (consensus was early-mid 4th), especially after we traded away the pick before which could have been Suamataia (NY's first round pick). If anyone projected Green in the 2nd in a mock, they would have been blasted for poor value.
I get that consensus ratings are often wrong, but it feels like the 49ers are playing it safe and reaching for guys they did a lot of work on rather than players who may have fallen to them.
Hate the draft so far. ESPN listed us as one of the losers on both Day 1 and Day 2 and I'd agree.
Yes based off Dane's big board. Other big boards had him graded higher. I actually got called out in my mock for taking him that late because folks thought he would go higher. Damned if you do and damned if you don't apparently lol
also I like Puni a ton, I just didn't think he would be there in the late 2nd let alone late in the 3rd. I also didn't really think they would go OG in the 1st two rds (which they didn't).
End of the day they've gotten 3 damn good players. Wanted Kingsley, apparently the league wasn't as high on him.
