Safety Net

  1. Interesting info.
    Especially with EMW. He was predominantly used as a box safety but has very good coverage numbers.
    With Theinaman he's very balanced with the exception of qbr allowed. Based purely on numbers as I haven't watched them I'd prefer Theinaman.
    This is based on his primarily being a free safety vs a box safety and his level of competition.

    1. I think Morris is gonna want a FS similar to Bates.

    2. I'm on the Thieneman train. Big fan of his game. I'd be more than happy getting him at 27.

    3. He'd likely represent one of the positions where he'd be BPA.

  2. Big news in the NFC West with the expectation of the Rams acquiring CB Trent McDuffie from Kansas City for the No. 29 pick in the draft. Not sure I'd ever negotiate a deal with KC after the Dee Ford debacle.

    1. Wow! What a haul for the Chiefs. 4 draft picks for a Corner.

      I think Kansas City will now use their own top 10 pick on Tackle and then use the Rams' pick on either WR or CB.

    2. Mug, the Rams have struggled to draft and develop CB's for years. KC? Not so much....

    3. Yeah Rams suck at drafting DBs/LBs that is why they trade for blue chip star DBs like Jalen Ramsey and now McDuffie.

      But you gotta say, Rams are great at maximizing their resources.... They are good at drafting No 1 WRs and weapons at RB and also finding Good D-Linemen.

      We are the opposite....we are an LB factory, but suck at drafting quality D-lineman and RBs. I guess both us and Rams are good at certain things and abysmal at others.

    4. I don't think we've ever needed a "blue chip" at CB to be successful.

  3. The more tape I watch the more I'm convinced taking Cooper over Boston would be a big mistake. Hope somehow, some way he's still on the board at 27.

    1. I hope they go a different position, but my guess right now is they draft for need.

      Delete
    2. Two immediate needs. WR and LG. Wouldn't be a big surprise to see them address both early

      Delete
    3. I really wish they'd stop doing that approach early

      Delete
    4. They might but until I see it with my own eyes. My expectation is they sign a WR and a budget LG and then draft each on day 1 and day 2.

      Delete
    5. I expect that as well. And then I expect to see the two vets they signed win the starting jobs.

      They haven't had a lot of success when pushing a need rather than just taking BPA.

      Delete
    6. What position(s) at 27 do you predict will have the best chance of being the BPA?

      Delete
    7. Safety and LB, then CB, edge, WR, OL.

      Delete
    8. Yep, S and LB is my guess too.

      Delete
  4. If the TW situation becomes sticky. There's a chance that the 49ers draft OL at 27 thereby making WR inconsequential. There are viable WRs into the 3rd rd. If Trent walks there could money to sign a high profile Egde FA.
    Things will get serious real soon.

    1. Trent Williams isn't going anywhere. He won't play for anybody but the Shanahan's and Foerster.

      Delete
    2. The crushing loss against Seattle might make him look elsewhere that gives him a better chance to eventually win a long awaited SB. I don't want to see Trent go anywhere. But I also believe that at this point in his illustrious career he'd love a SB ring before hanging them up.

      Delete
    3. After listening to his interview, I'm convinced he's going to retire a 49er.

      Delete
    4. That's what I'm hoping for as well. But, there could be a team with a better chance at knocking off Seattle than the 49ers. Loyalty over a chance to win a SB ring might be a tough call.

      Delete
    5. He just had a chance, and he'll get at least two a year. If you listened to his interview that his best chance for a SB is right where he is!

      Delete
    6. So, do you believe that keeping TW is basically a done deal and any talk of him walking is just smoke?

      Delete
    7. Yep, just smoke on the water.

      Delete
  5. Missouri LB Khalil Jacobs is scheduled to meet with the 49ers, per Fowler. Likely a UDFA.

  6. I didn't realize Foerster had Clemmons in his lab all this time just in case Brian left in a Fleury.

    1. Really good at redirecting defensive lineman to make holes for his running back.
