Saffold pro bowl guard and bates for a whole season. Year of growth from Spencer brown. That’s a personnel upgrade at 3 starting positions. Quessenberry is a better swing tackle than Doyle. Depth guard I guess is worse considering they had bates waiting in the wings. All this before I even mention that kromer >> Johnson. Do you think the OL is not the best it’s ever been for josh?

Chad Hall and flipping cause hes the most energetic coach i have ever seen.

I was surpised he didnt bring up the pressure rate and sack rate numbers. Thats a big reason I think josh does "more with less" than anyone else.

Based on financials crowder is pretty much a lock to me.

Why wouldnt he be scooped up for special teams? not that he would get a big contract but hes an above average gunner. i would think that gets picked up.

they keep him around cause he costs nothing to keep. he should flash in OTAs. he doesnt handle the physical game well. who are you signing with the small amount of money from cutting crowder? You at least get 900k from cutting mckenzie. i dont think either is going anywhere but at least we can get out of mckenzie's contract with some money back.

Why are we all forgetting about david quessenberry? He started on a dominant run blocking OL in Tenn last year (no dropoff in YPC after Henry went down). At worst he is good swing tackle depth. Considering Brown hasnt taken any snaps this offseason Quessenberry maybe starting RT opening day. Im hoping for Brown to come back for camp but he had an up and down year. I agree with Joe Marinos breakdown of how the personnel changed for the offense QB > push RB > better WR > worse but not a concern besides outside WR depth OL > much better When I look at it this way I think we have invested pretty well considering we were 3rd in points scored last year. We didnt need the impact positions on offense (QB, WR1, LT) like we did for defense (CB, Edge) so it looks like a lot more investment on defense.

I am very happy with their product that I pay for. If you listen to any content creator they have great respect for cover 1 almost certainly. GunnerBill had a disagreement iirc but that was a while ago. I strongly recommend watching their josh Allen film breakdowns. Best 48 hours of my life that I’ve spent. As for badolbillz I also had a bad experience last off-season and put him on mute. But his in season takes we’re reasonable. So considering putting him back on ignore for the off-season based off his antics in this thread. Will see about in season.

Last year when they immediately stashed Stevenson in IR effectively only having 6 WR for opening day and the rest of the year? So you think they’ll stash someone on IR? I do think this is the year to keep 7 but it’s disingenuous to say they kept 7 last year. You can only protect players once they make it onto your PS. So he would have to be cut and not picked up by other teams. Then I think he can still be picked up by other teams as PS protection seemed to be a COVID thing. I wouldn’t guarantee he gets picked up by another team but I don’t want to risk it. I don’t think McBeane does either considering they traded up to get him.

why lucky? couldnt he just be the best punt returner? he also has more outside experience than mckenzie. i would like more depth there. i have austin with higher odds of making the roster than stevenson and mckenzie at the moment (though him and lil dirty are close)

Thanks @YoloinOhio surprised there isnt more discussion on OTAs. Is Poyer gonna talk to the media? That will be a very interesting media session.

Agree but we could quickly become a TE heavy division. Pats have the most investment, but Jets signing Uzomah and Conklin could indicate a switch to more 12 personnel. If we have two division opponents that run 12 or 21 personnel > 40% that would be be a reason to put another LB on the field. Not counting CHI (though new coach), BAL, or a philosophy change in MIA (SF is > 40%).

I agree about Taron being super good but I think he does come off the field a bit more. We talk about Milano injury history, but Taron ended 2018 on the IR and missed 4 games during 2019 with injury. Giving him 15% less snaps I dont believe will hurt the defense that much and could protect Taron long term which is what I want considering the money you mention (protect that investment). I agree with others we have been base nickel for McD/Frasier's time but the two NE games last year were some of Tarons lowest snap % of the year (Jags game was 18% so maybe someone can remind me of an injury). Adding in that the Dolphins and NYJ want to run the 49ers wide zone and quick pass offense, I could see more 4-3 base (will concede that Taron played a lot of snaps in NYJ #2 2021 and SF 2020).

What? Singeltary is one of the 5 worst athletes on the team. Cook is explosive. I can show RAS scores later

I encourage you to think about how many snaps they want RB1 and RB2 to play. I expect they want very similar touches for the two and that’s why they force feed moss the first 3/4 of the year. With that perspective we have upgraded RB2 which is effectively half a starter with this perspective.

I love Tre (and this pick) but he is not one of the best tackling corners in the league. Actually, Levi was the best tackler. McD typically has below average tackling teams. Theres only one prospect ranking that mattered it had Elam as BPA. Agree time will tell, but he was definitely BPA on Beane's board as he was the last first round grade left. I think the thing most rankings lack is access to medicals and interviews; as such, they are missing a very important part of the process.

To the underlined I dont believe that (at least not in the first round). His draft record clearly points to picking high ceiling low floor players in the first (see: Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Rousseau). Wow I liked the thought process and then you veered off. We got bounced by a speedy WR so we should get a speedy CB to counter was my expectation. I think your wishful thinking got in the way of your logic.

I would also say edge and OT both help push CB and WR our way.

omfg didnt watch to the end of the play. Thanks. why does pro football reference not have it recorded? Maybe im missing it there

I cant find this fumble. Can someone please show me. I dont have any punt returns for Mckenzie this past playoffs yes pro football reference has only 2 fumbles to his name but he misfielded the ball in the miami game week 8 (inside the 20), misfielded the kickoff in the WFT game (inside the 20), and fumbled in the colts game that lead to 7 points (inside the 20). the stats are not capturing all the critical mistakes he made. For the record Stephenson is not the answer either. Miami (@ 1:13:30) WFT (@ 40:42)

Im with you. WR or CB in Round 1 please. The lack of action on CB has been very apparent. Its not like Beane and McD to not have a plan so I trust they are gonna do something they have confidence will net a good player and they can execute. This has me me thinking they like a target they know they can get at the end of round 1 or they feel confident they can move up to get in round 2. Moving up in round 1 just feels as if it could be too pricey to be the plan.

Im also cooling on edmunds for the money reason. the improving each game is for 2020 i believe. Last year Klein only replaced edmunds in the colts game and the Jets # 1 game. Also agree on CB is the primary need. To the OP i hesitate to trade up as it will cost too many top 100 picks which I think are very important to our continued success.

Sorry need to fight silly Edmunds narratives. It is categorically untrue that Klein filled in well for Edmunds. I have contended that the data suggests we have better run defense with Edmunds in the line up. Please prove either the defense or run defense did better with Klein in over Edmunds.

Opportunity cost would be my concern with drafting LB so high. If we do then I think Edmunds is definitely gone. If youre drafting a back up LB on day 2 then you are missing out on developmental starters that will play at WR and iOL.

They didn’t. The OP said the last two years. The game I think you’re referring to was against the pats in 2019. I remember Xavien Howard got him once on a really nice play (this year 1st game I think). JC Jackson last year in the first game. Can’t remember the last one
