Yup. Fans would’ve loved Trey Amos at 30 because Cover 1 is obsessed with him. The dude almost fell to RD3.

My expectations are way higher.. We have a Defensive HC, brought in some really respected defensive coaches and the guys we let walk/cut/traded were all pretty much liabilities for us last season. Turnovers aside, last years defense was gross. We’ve not brought in: Joey Bosa Landon Jackson Michael Hoecht TJ Sanders Larry Ogunjobi Max Hairston Tre White Dane Jackson Cole Bishop and DeWayne Carter entering Year 2, for whatever they may or may not become.. if it’s gonna happen, we’ll see if this year for them. Im expecting a Super Bowl caliber Defense, and it better be when we’re entering Day 3 of the Draft and Allen’s WR’s are Shakir, Coleman, Palmer and Samuel due to the need to allocate so much offseason resource to the Defense.

Field Yates and Daniel Jeremiah have both done segments on his strengths and the fact that (in a clean pocket) he’s on time, in rhythm and sees the field very well in reading coverage and throwing to the open zone. Shadeur’s issue is that he crumbles under any pressure from the opposing defense and is a complete spaz off platform leading to turnovers and 15 yard sacks. Combine that with lack of size, mobility and arm strength and he’s a very average prospect. But he can operate at a decently high level in rhythm/clean pocket and there’s a ton of tape of him throwing darts down the field by dissecting the coverage scheme under those conditions.

We have 3.5 Wide Receivers right now. Shakir Coleman Palmer Samuel, when he’s not hurt It would be malpractice to not get Josh Allen a speed WR That said.. and I know this won’t be loved by some.. if we know Bond is going to slide due to off the field, I’d be fine taking Defense early today and then taking Bond as WR5.

Steelers seem to clearly be on loose terms to sign Aaron Rodgers and the best way to blow that up would be drafting Shadeur Sanders today.

Deion literally talked about dictating who his son would play for. Why would Beane, or any GM, want that? Being a HC/GM and needing to take calls from a helicopter parent every day about his son who isn’t even that good..

This draft has been wild if you listen to the draft community and where they had guys. The NFL had these DL guys viewed WAY higher than draft pundits and podcasters. Similarly, guys like Trey Amos and Xavier Watts were way lower. Then you have teams like the Lions that just do whatever they want like trade a haul for Isaac Teslaa way higher than anyone had him.

Theres “some” Tua ability in him. His talent level & talent ceiling is similar, imo, but Tua also didn’t have the absolutely horrible tape under pressure that Shadeur has.

Eh.. I never liked the Carter pick, but if he can put on weight and keep his quickness, I’m open to seeing him more at 1T in his second year. Sanders was a swing at a game wrecker. He has that potential. I don’t think taking Sanders at 41 had much of anything to do with taking Carter in the 3rd last year. I mean, you’re right, if Carter was amazing last year, we maybe don’t draft Sanders.. but I don’t think you take a guy at 95 and expect him to dominate as a rookie.

It’s personal with Deion, and to a lesser extent, Shadeur. Hes just not that good. Theres some Tua ability in him. Smaller, not a big arm, but throws well on time, clean pocket, good ability to read defenses from said pocket. So, you combine his talent level being more in line with Shough, but having all the extra baggage, it’s not wild he’s dropped. Deion’s going to want to go to war for his son.. but he also has a program to run and he needs to be careful with how he reacts given players aren’t going to play for a program when the program is at war with the NFL.

A RB early today (RD4/5) is an indication they’d be open to trading Cook, imo. RB is plug and play. If we need one next year, draft one next year. You don’t waste a pick on a RB, wasting a year of his rookie deal when we never pay RB’s last the rookie deal anyway.. and also have no place to stash them without losing a roster spot elsewhere. You take a RB early today if you feel there’s a good chance Cook forces our hand by holding out up until the last minute and we just decide we aren’t going to want to deal with that.

Beane is right about that, but he doesn’t seem to really want that either. Linval Joseph was out of desperation and the guy was on his last legs. We are loaded with talent at 3T now in Oliver, Sanders and Ogunjobi. That’s some serious depth and talent. And I know on passing downs, a combo of the 3 will be out there, in addition to possibly moving guys like Jackson, Rousseau and Hoecht inside.. but having two 1T’s, and according to Beane, those two being an aging Daquan Jones and seemingly moving DeWayne Carter to 1T after he was pushed around easily as a rookie is a bit worrisome. Im not opposed to the Carter move, but he better make one heck of a second year jump. Like many here.. I’d love to just take a legit 1T, especially given the talent we now have at 3T.

When it happened, I wanted to throw up seeing we gave up both 2nd Rounders, but we really only moved back 10 spots from 62 and getting Landon Jackson, who very well could’ve been our pick at 62 anyway, makes this trade look a lot better in retrospect. Especially when factoring in that San Fran apparently loved Sanders and ended up going Collins after we jumped them.

WR & LB would be positions I’d have as priority focus. Sorry, I’m just not sold on Andreeson and a late flyer on Dolac as Dorian Williams backups when he inevitably has to start a few games for a banged up Milano or Bernard. DT & S as luxury picks if it’s just too good of a value.

Love this pick. The guy can wreck plays but you don’t really know how he did it. Just a big, powerful dude coming downhill. Gives us bookend freak size off the EDGE with Rousseau.

Niners were likely taking Sanders at 43. Do you trust Buffalo and San Fran’s front office or Mel Kiper?

Maybe.. a bigger, more prototype version of Solomon.

I wanted Mike Green.. but a lot of people need to relax. He didn’t slide only due to character concerns. He also slid because he was only dominant against bad competition. Sounds alot like our Defensive Lines of recent.

Of course Baltimore takes Mike Green. Only saving grace is, production wise, it seems there’s concern that most of his dominant reps came against really poor competition.

Yea.. Kiper massively underrated the DL grades in this Draft, while he was distracted by his passion project: Shadeur Sanders. Zero chance TJ Sanders lasted to 56, let alone 43, where SF likely had him lined up to draft.

DL was massively underestimated by the draft community compared to where NFL teams viewed them. We’re not even at 56 yet and theres not much out there if we stayed put.

TJ Sanders could be a beast for us… I just think we gave up so much for a position we allowed ourselves to get pigeonholed into needing to make sure we addressed tonight.

Alfred Collins just went. I think some of our frustration is due to media/podcasters not accurately judging the market for DT’s in this Draft. TJ Sanders is a dang good player, but still.. we gave up a lot, and still remain undersized up the middle which then leads to issues with our undersized linebackers.

Frustrating. Just dont get this team when it comes to DL. Guess he wouldn’t be there at 56, but geez.. what a massive move for, yet another, undersized DT.

I think this is where I am. I just don’t see the value for DT any longer. We needed a game changer if we were going to invest high and unfortunately that just wasn’t going to happen this year. If we want a 2 down DT like Alfred Collins or tweeners like Farmer, just take someone like Caldwell in the 4th. In fact, take two of them early Day 3. EDGE, Xavier Watts, Max Hairston and then 1 or 2 quality DT’s tonight and/or early Day 3 and this Defense is dramatically transformed. Even without the eventual additions of Hoecht and Ogunjobi.
