  3. I'd look into signing players like Fabian Moreau, projected $1.5M and Jalen Nailor, projected $4.75M.

  5. The Seahawks are hiring 49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury as their OC, per Pelissero.

    I've never seen a team get pilfered from as consistently as Shanahan's.

    1. Not since the Walsh/Seifert years and it would have been worse back then if Eddie D wasn't paying the 49ers assistants so much

  6. More value should be placed on route running and ball skills (hands and tracking) than speed. The All-Pros are typically elite in those areas. The best Wide Receivers in the NFL generally run 40 times in the 4.5+range.

  7. Makai Lemon (5’11 190) USC

    + Sharp route runner
    + Toughness
    + Run after the catch ability
    + Return ability
    + 3.13 yards per route ran in 2025
    + Just a 2.5% drop rate in 2025
    + Willing blocker
    + Finding soft spots in zone coverage
    + Over 1,100 receiving yards with 11 touchdowns in 205

    - Limited touchdown production prior to the 2025 season (3 total in his first two seasons at USC)
    - Projects to play primarily in the slot at the next level
    - Catch radius

    Draft projection: Top 15

    🔸Aware of Zone soft spots & sideline
    🔸14 MTFs in ‘24; Outside & slot
    🔸9 YPPR
