49ers Screwed Up Not Adding at Trade Deadline

Lynch and Shanahan really screwed up not adding talent and depth at the trade deadline, considering all the injuries they have. As we found out today, we are a Bosa and Kittle injury away from being a mediocre team. We needed to add at DE considering how fhin we are outside of Bosa, and we've never had TE outside of Kittle in the Shanahan era who can catch a fricken pass! Lynch and Shanahan have overestimated the depth of their roster. And Shanahan has become a game mismanager! Today was our 3rd blown lead lloss late in the 4th quarter. Shanahan is afraid to throw the ball in the end zone! Always calls a jet sweep, a bubble screen or a 3 yard pass in the red zone.

They screwed up not keeping the trenches legit on both sides of the ball.

Adding?! This team should have sold. We aren't winning anything this year—or next year, or the year after that. The window is closed. Our star players are mostly old, unproductive, and/or constantly injured.

Throwing away draft picks on top of an injury riddled lost season would have been worse.
We need to get younger and cheaper. Don't do that on half season rentals.

Or they were smart, realizing that we need to get younger, and trading assets for one player isn't going to help us this year or in the future. Need draft picks since Purdy is going to get paid. Just need Shenanigans to develop rookies.

We don't have anything to sell. Those contracts are worse moved than kept.
We're rolling over our cap this year to get through next when we might be able to start freeing up space.
That's why we need this year and next year's draft class to be more hit than miss.

Either they are all in this year or they aren't. If they are, they should have been more active. If not, we should have been sellers.

Nothing was going to save this season. Mistakes of the past were band aided over, and we previously got by with the bandaids, but the time of getting by is over. Especially as opponents have gotten a better handle on our schemes. As the roster has gotten thinner it has also gotten more expensive and that problem is not going away, major changes are on the horizon with regards to the make up of the roster. Either we don't have the horses to run Kyle's desired offensive and defensive schemes, or the schemes themselves are flawed, or both. The regime needs to identify quality impact players in the draft, be in position to pick them, and actually take them. 2024 was a great start, but now we'll be picking from a mid black slot. So, if there is any silver lining it's a better draft slot than recent off-seasons, then it's just a matter of how you use those picks. The 2024 draft class was a good start. I also feel like Kyle needs to make changes. What that means exactly, I don't know but something has to change.

Agreed we need too much help right now, we need to get rid of the dead weight first

Seems to me not wasting picks for a bad team is a good thing. This team is not a superbowl contender… more likely top 10 pick team.
