Of course the 49ers traded two 5th round picks to get an additional 4th round pick and pick a running back they don't need. And then take another slot receiver later in the round. Kyle is going to Kyle.
He's trying to test whether you actually can have too many weapons.
Raiders took the most athletic corner in the draft. Al Davis would be proud. You can;t teach speed. If only we were still allowed to douse our guys in stick 'em. I like the LB in the 5th, too.

Yes other than Brock Bowers I think the Raiders have had a good draft.

I'll never think Bowers was the right pick, but I'm coming around on the theory behind taking him. We'll see if Getsy has enough creativity to deploy him the way Shanahan would. They're talking about splitting him out wide, lining him up at FB, etc.

If he is a top 5 TE for the next 5 years then it was a great pick.
reply
Not if Meyer is also a top 10 TE and Fuaga is a top 5-10 tackle. There's just not enough marginal value in upgrading on a good young TE compared to signing a great rookie tackle when you don't have one yet.

49ers got another OL. Only one pick left and no DL. Very surprising.
