It's such a head scratching phenomenon how this organization can't draft a lick in the 1st but find pro bowlers and all pros in day 2 and 3 constantly. I don't get it, I think they really get too cute and over think it in the first

They never go best player available in the 1st RD. Unless it's a slam dunk pick like Bosa was. They drafted Trey because they wanted a QB badly and went with the guy with the best athletic tools. Unfortunetely it turned out to be a bad draft class for QB's as none of them were any good. They drafted Kinlaw because they wanted to replace Buckner. Drafted Pearsall because they weren't sure if BA was staying. Kyle and John just need to go BPA in the 1st RD regardless of whether or not it's a position of need.

Amen. They really reach on their 1st rounders.

When you draft 30th or later 1st rounders are kind of a reach. Talent wise they could easily be 2nd rounders. No matter where you draft it takes a certain amount of luck. In the end it doesn't matter who ends up being really goos. !st, 3rd, 5th or 7th. As long as they can play it doesn't make a differnce where they were drafted. Look at 5 of their best players. Bosa (1st round). Warner (3rd round) Kittle (5th round) Purdy (7th round) Jennings (7th round).

I know we always like to see them get a better draft pick but does it really make that much difference? So many fans think they suck at drafting anyway.

What needs to happen is start using the "Bill Walsh book of drafting in the NFL". If the player available is not a sure thing (Jerry Rice), then trade down and get more bodies and probably better players. And since the Niners draft better in the later rounds, it gives them more picks that turn out to be steals

I'm all for that but they still need to find someone to trade with. Ideally it's someone that has early round picks so when you trade a 1st you get a 2nd and 3rd that are still decent players. Something like that.

There's always going to be traders who feel like they're the smartest person in the room and may make a screwy deal
