  2. Rule #4 of Draft Club:

    You can find iOG's, LB's and S's in F/A but if you want WR's, OT's or DT's you'll need to draft or trade for them.

  3. The Bengels at 17 need two iDL just like we do, and that's why I would not advise trading down below 15.

    1. If Graham is gone and Nolen's character concerns turn out to be real, I'm not taking a DT at 11.

    2. Yes... so long as they come back clean on character concerns! Pearce Jr would be my pick if Nolen's a no go, but obviously he's got his own character concerns that need investigation. And if not him then Green would also be a strong consideration.

      If they all have concerns I'm going Membou.

  4. CBS, latest #11 for 49ers is former Alabama LB, Jahiid Campbell. I guess that I paid too much attention to college football like in years past, but I heard any news on Campbell. His film looks very good.

    1. He's good but I don't see him as a top 15 pick. Doesn't have the intincts. I think he could sneak into the 20's.

    1. Pretty much like Jalon Walker. You don't want him as an off the ball LB.

    Sheesh, it sucks getting old, sometimes.

  7. I would not be shocked if JL makes a deal to trade Deebo to Denver at the Combine.
    * Denver has a rookie QB Bo Nix, ~$34 million in cap space, and WR Courtland Sutton turns 30 in October. He’s entering the final year of his contract.
    * Deebo would be an option if Sutton leaves after the 2025 season.
    * Denver HC, Sean Payton, would love Deebo and owns the 85th draft
    pick.
    * JL and KS should want to make it happen!

    1. It would cost the 49ers a $31M hit to this years cap to trade Deebo prior to June 1st.

      While that's true, the number would go up to about $47 million if they traded him after his March 22 option bonus came due. I suspect we'd both agree that this will obviously play itself out before then?
      * So the 9er FO could decide to take the $31 Mil hit and clear their books of Samuel’s contract entirely! IMO, It’s also NOT likely the 9ers keep him in 2025 since he struggled in 2024, and carrying him on the roster in 2025 would count for $47 million against the cap.
      * Correct me if I'm wrong, but releasing Deebo before March 22 and designating him as a post-June 1 cut would result in a dead cap hit of roughly $10.75 million this season and ~$20.8 Mil. in dead money would go on the 9ers 2026 cap.
      So again, the 9er FO could just take the $31 Mil hit and clear their books of Samuel’s contract entirely and getting Denvers 2025 Draft pick #85 would be better than the 9ers getting nothing.

    3. For 2025 it'd be about $10.751M & $20.798M in 2026 dead money wise with a post June 1 cut designation, saves $5M in 2025(in June), & $12.344M in 2026, since he's set to count $33M in dead money in 2026.

      Either way they have to take the $31.55M dead hit, depends on what they want to do, post June 1 him, or lose $16M in 2025 cap room. My vote is to spend that $16M to make this years team better.
