Best left on the board:
DT CJ West WR Elic Ayomanor RB Devin Neal WR Jalen Royals QB Shedeur TE Ben Yurosek RB Dylan Sampson TE Mitchell Evans DT Aeneas Peebles LB Smael Mondon
If Nick Bosa can get a modicum of consistent pressure from the opposite side he could end up having another Defensive Player of the Year aw...
Razor do you think Bartch takes over left guard and Burford is the roamer?
ReplyDeleteYep, Spencer Burford is now seen as an OT according to both Foerster and Shanahan.
DeleteThere's still good talent left. I'll stay on defense with Smael Mondon. He's a very good LB who could possibly beat out Graham and Robinson.
ReplyDeleteI'll take Ayomanor, Sampson and another DT please.
ReplyDeleteSomebody loved Tuten. He's off the board. Who is Bobby targeting?
ReplyDeleteWe might have ourselves a run on backs.
ReplyDeleteAl Davis is smiling as the Raiders take Donte Thornton.
ReplyDeleteThere goes Deone Walker!
ReplyDeleteCJ West? or Peebles?
ReplyDeleteEither one works for me.
DeleteWest!!
DeleteWe have a defensive wall now! Hell yea!
ReplyDeleteCJ West. One of my favs.
ReplyDeleteI love that we've only gone D so far, with all 5 picks.
ReplyDeleteBut out of these next 3 picks in rounds 4 and 5, we should target IOL and TE
I finally hit one from my mocks. Scooter heres help for the pass rush. I absolutely love this pick but are we ever going to draft our swing OT?
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone already on the roster who can fill that role?
Spencer Burford
DeleteI hate to gloat as I only picked positions but shoot, my original five were Edge, DT, DT, LB, CB. Now for some OL.
ReplyDelete
DeleteLove this draft so far.
I love the way they drafted for the defense, the Niners needed that infusion. If these guys pan out just think of the fun in next year's draft.
DeleteThere goes Sampson.
ReplyDeleteD.J. Giddens still on the board.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the scope of injury for Martin's knee last year?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure exactly what it was but he played in the Senior bowl and participated at the combine
DeleteDidn't require surgery so probably a high grade sprain.
DeleteThis draft reminds me quite a bit of 1981.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice. Saleh is a happy DC I can tell you that!
DeleteCJ West
ReplyDelete"I can do it everywhere, but my bread and butter is at the 1-technique. That's where I just abuse centers, punch them in the face, be as violent as possible, just creating havoc down there in the middle."
Sanders- again, value........... develop and trade...... and I don.t think Raiders take him, even though they probably should w their commitment to Geno and the holes on D they have.
ReplyDeleteI got two right so far, lol. Watkins is gonna be our PR this year and take over for JJ next season.
ReplyDeleteHe was a top 30 visit wasn't he? His tape shows underrated speed.
DeleteYep, they're averaging 3 top 30 visit picks a draft.
DeleteDoes drafting Watkins mean they are admitting a mistake in drafting Cowing. I don't get this pick it seems like they all ready have enough slot receivers. With Aiyuk a question mark and Robinson out for the first 4 games it seems like they need an outside WR. This is their first pick I'm not in love with.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is also a sign that they want speed that can beat Man coverage- an outcome of Deebo
ReplyDeleteBrowns finally took Sanders. He has a chance to start there.
DeleteMan.......... it's all about the trophy- love Brock, but having a QB on a rookie deal is huge. And he fit the system...... oh well.
DeleteJames is a good pick.
Jordan James was Bobby T's choice!
ReplyDeleteAnother RB....another Jordan. :)
ReplyDeleteJames is a solid pick in the 5th round. He will compete with Guerendo for RB2. Now that they have their WR and RB i'm interested in seeing what they do with their other 4 picks
ReplyDeleteTE incoming.
DeleteCan never have too many Corners who can hopefully play sticky man coverage........ probably need some OL now too.
DeleteSafety. Marques Sigle
DeleteNo OL? I'm a little nervous.
Marques Sigle, Saftey with speed and team captain.
ReplyDeleteSafety w speed- thumbs up
ReplyDeleteIs Sigle a special team pick? Gunner? If so the 5th round is too early. Thats what they have 3 picks in the 7th round for. I would like to see them trade one of their 5th round picks in 26 draft to jump into the 6th round for an O lineman.
ReplyDeleteCoach
ReplyDeleteI'm baffled that an Olineman has not been chosen, as well. Hopefully, they found a diamond in the rough that they have their eyes on later today (?).
I suspect 2 of 3 in the 7th will b OL
ReplyDeleteA bit late to the party but absolutely thrilled to see CJ West get added. I think he'll be better than Collins. I thought he should have been a late 2/ early 3 type pick. Imo that is 5 guys with potential to start or be significant snap contributors in 2025.
ReplyDeleteThat DL is now a wall in front of the back 7. But I still don't see a lot of pass rush.
Watkins and James add decent depth to offense, and Sigle feels like a core STs guy with some upside.
With the Watkins pick, that's also 4 guys from my last pair of mocks - Martin, Stout, West and Watkins. Though of the 4 I had West going earliest!
DeleteI hope the 49ers use at least one of their 7th round picks on a small school D end who can rush the passer. Steven Jackson Tex St. if he is still around
ReplyDeleteIf Jah Joyner lasts I wouldn't mind adding him.
DeleteI like Joyner too. Anyone know if Fadil Diggs Syracuse has been drafted?
DeleteI meant Steven Parker Tex St.
ReplyDeleteIsaiah Bond's legal issues must be more serious than first believed.
ReplyDeleteIf the 49ers manage to come away with any of Logan Brown, Jake Majors, Jalin Conyers or Kaimon Rucker I will be stoked.
ReplyDeleteReally hoping for Logan Brown Kansas OT. I think he's a solid player with the potential to start on this line.
ReplyDeleteHe must have something going on. I thought he was 4th or 5th rd.
DeleteGood OT’s don’t last.
Give me Conyers and Rucker.
ReplyDeleteThey'll likely have 7 available spots if they complete their picks in the 7th Round for UDFA's before they'd have to release a player.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if Jordan Elliott still makes sense on this roster. Collins, West and Anderson are all run stuffers. Elliott is supposed to be. Only leaves Givens as a pass rushing DT.
DeleteThe way I see the DL shaking out:
DeleteWilliams/Collins/West/Bosa Alpha Unit
SamO/Elliott or Anderson/Givens/YGM Bravo Unit
The Niners did nothing well on defense last year, but the worst was they couldn't stop the run; there is nothing more demoralizing when a team can't stop the run. I do believe the Niners brass at least acknowledge that they had a problem, they drafted to fix it. See what happens...
ReplyDelete"there is nothing more demoralizing when a team can't stop the run" So true but on the flipside I posted when measuring EPA/Play metrics stopping the run equates to a win rate of .24% whereas a passing offense contributes at a .71% win rate.
DeleteMy favourite CJ West stat *courtesy of Brett Kollmann).
ReplyDeleteIndiana's average depth on tackle against A-gap runs last season was just 2.11 yards. The next closest team was 2.75.
Indiana faced only 85 such runs, which was 104th in the country, but had 29 TFLs or no gains. That was 4th-most!
I can't believe they took a quarterback. Kurtis Rourke Indiana, wow! Mordecai is probably out.
ReplyDeleteRourke is just a weird pick for me.
ReplyDeleteI was convinced they wouldn't draft a quarterback.
ReplyDeleteThe Shananigans have begun. :)
Delete😂
DeleteJon Feliciano wants Esa Pole.
ReplyDeleteStrange draft for the 49ers. Mac Jones and Mordicai already in the fold and they select another QB rather then Oline. Apparently the 49ers feel that there's no need along the Oline.
ReplyDeleteNext years class all the OL advocates will finally get their wish. 😁
DeleteWhat's the plan for replacing Trent Williams who could have a career-ending injury at any time this season or just decide to retire at the end of the season?
ReplyDeleteSpencer Burford will be their swing OT. OT class next year is worlds better than this one. They'll take one early.
DeleteConner Colby outta Iowa, loads of experience play OG in a ZBS.
ReplyDeleteWR Junior Bergen with the final pick. Gonna be a bloodbath for slot/pr/gadget player.
ReplyDeleteApparently he's a return specialist.
DeleteBergen returned EIGHT punts for touchdowns his last three seasons at Montana. Slot receiver who averaged 24 yards per punt return last season.
DeleteMy top 4 UDFAs if there not drafted in the last couple picks Josh Gray, Logan Brown Cobee Bryant and Steven Parker
ReplyDeleteNow that the draft is done, you might be interested in how well the 19 formal draft mocks posted here did. (I threw all the data into a speadsheet for analysis.) But first, congrats to Razoreater for correcting predicting (not in a mock) way back on January 7 that Mykel Williams, EDGE Georgia would be drafted at #11.
ReplyDeleteInspired 49ers 2025 Mocks :
New 49ers (8 of 11 49er picks were mocked) -

1 mock selected Alfred Collins DL Texas
1 mock selected Connor Colby IOL Iowa
1 mock selected Jordan Watkins WR Mississippi
