If Denzel Boston is drafted before the 9ers are on the clock, Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt checks most of the boxes and fits the 9ers offense. He's a possession receiver, not a burner. His run blocking will require coaching and his YAC is pedestrian. I can see the 9ers drafting Lee Hunter, DT Texas Tech in Rd #1 and WR Sarratt in the 2nd Rd., to replace JJ.
Yeah, I am currently on the Lee Hunter train at #27. I think he'd immediately become the team's best interior rusher while also being capable as a run defender. One of those good at everything type DTs.
Sarratt I think would be a great addition. But yeah, wouldn't do much to lift the overall team speed, so would probably need to add another guy for that (or hope Cowing/ Watson develop).
Razor He's not a burner (40 = 4.49s), but Cooper would give the 9ers some speed and YAC they don't have now. While his 2025 season was one of college most consistent and productive slot receivers, his 2024 ended in his head coach (Curt Cignetti) openly question Cooper's dependability, noting "there were times late in the season when coaches called his number but he wasn't on the field." Maybe it was just a case of Cooper needing to grow up, but after Aiyuk, we don't need another head case! What's your thoughts on it?
Apologies if this has been posted previously, but - The 49ers "have had 50 draft picks since 2020, and only one has been voted to the Pro Bowl - Mr. Irrelevant in 2022, Brock Purdy."

Personal preference but I prefer Omar Cooper Jr. over Sarratt.
DeleteI'm kind of surprised there's not more buzz around Ted Hurst.
Depends on what sort of WR you are after really. Both Sarratt and Cooper look good, but different type of WRs.
DeleteGive me Reggie Virgil over Ted Hurst. And give me either of them over Chris Brazzell.
Not a Brazzell fan. I got Virgil in Round 3 and Hurst 5/6.

Sounds about right to me. I think Virgil would be a good fit for Shanahan.
DeleteHadn't heard that Geep. Something to keep in mind for sure.

Who wants to meet up in Australia for the 49ers vs. Rams?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping they'd get this game. Now just have to figure out if I can make it!
DeleteAs soon as you get it figured out, post up your plans. It's likely Chapman schedules a trip for his followers, and we'll all want to travel together.
