No, I love taking the top TE prospect two years in a row.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh U-D! I can almost hear your disappointment.

Raider Nation certainly has plenty of experience with that.

I feel ya U-D. The seasonal cycle of believe -> let down, is common to both our franchises.

Smash mouth football. Do you have a FB? Need 2 TEs a HB and FB every down. This is the way. AOC only throws third and long or to TEs over the middle. Tell your WRs to take the year off.

What wide receivers? 😬😬
reply
Davante MF'in Adams. I'm pretty sure the Vikings are familiar with him.
reply
I remember he was good once. Right after he stopped wearing green and gold (because it's impossible to be good in that jersey) and when he donned the silver and black. For about a season before he suddenly wasn't who he used to be.
Nah I'm just yanking ya chain, Adams is a stud. I'm also a big fan of the slot machine Hunter Renfrow but he's gone now. You guys have had great talent at WR. Jakobi ain't no slouch either.
reply
For about a season before he suddenly wasn't who he used to be.
There's no better example of how terrible Josh McDaniels was than that he managed to make Davante a non-Pro Bowler.
I really like Jakobi. Expect to see him used more creatively this year.
reply
Yeah, truly mismanaged.
AOC showed some flashes of talent. Maybe they think with the right weapons he can succeed. Alternatively they don't think they're going to compete for a bit so they're just getting young athletes to build a roster over the next couple years and look to compete in maybe 2 years?
reply
I think the plan really is to be a defensive team. The offense's job will basically be to run the clock and protect the ball. AOC had no picks in the last 4 games.
reply
Yeah looks that way, ball security, take the easy underneath release valve throws to TEs (bowers 👀👀) and just keep the opposing team offense off the field. Can't lose games if they can't score points. And your defence is scary. Maxx Crosby is a beast.
I had to check, but it looks like we haven't re-signed our big FB who can't catch a football. We do have a big RB who can't catch a football, though.
On the bright side, it should be a really good play-action or RPO team. That will offset our lack of an O-Line a little bit.
reply
Who would you like to see them draft in round 2?
reply
I ran a mock this morning and took Kingsley Suamataia.
I'd be happy to see them take Cooper Beebe, also. We've needed to improve the right side of the line since Gruden traded our guys away and tried to replace them with Alex Leatherwood.
reply
Beebe would be a solid add. Dudes got anchor.
reply
Doesn't address OT but I would not complain if the rest of the draft looked like this for 49ers.
reply
3rd TE is an interesting choice.
What about bundling some of that stuff together and trying to get JPJ?
I don't get why the 49ers wouldn't be in 100% win-now mode. You have the most talented roster, but a lot of those guys have pretty extensive injury histories. Who knows how long your window will be open?
reply
49ers need a TE2 and Sanders could start day one as TE2. I wasn't crazy about it but I didn't like the value of the other options at that point.
What say you about this?
reply
Or maybe you prefer:
I like Kingsley. I thought there was an outside chance the 49ers took him in R1.
