  2. How I expect the first 3 Rounds to unfold:

    1st round OL run
    2nd round EDGE and WR run
    3rd round S/iOL/WR

    The sweet spot 50-75 should provide solid starters, but the Edge, CB and WR you draft at 75 will likely be graded almost exactly the same as the one you’d get at 45. Adjust strategy accordingly....

  3. I’m waiting until free agency signings before committing to the draft. Right now, I’m all in on drafting defense, though that could change depending on the FA signings. The Niners’ defense was terrible last year, and you’re not going to beat the Hawks or the Rams with an offense-focused draft. Those two teams are currently the standard not just in the West, but across the entire NFC. ATM-IMO

    1. My contention is F/A shouldn't affect how you draft. Doubling up at the premium positions makes a lot of sense. Especially when you're not targeting top dollar F/A's.

      With the 1st pick in Round 4 I would target C/OG and with the 2nd Round 4 pick I would target a TE. They'll need to use the first 3 picks on an OT (if they want one), WR and Edge.

  4. The 49ers were among the five-most injured teams in the NFL in 2025:

    The annual “Adjusted Games Lost” article came out today and according to adjusted games lost, the 49ers lost the sixth-most offensive games and fifth-most defensive games due to injuries. This comes after a season when the 49ers were the most injured team in the NFL in 2024.
