  1. I'm with you guys at about a 6 or 7 level of confidence for a bounce back rushing attack. I just can't imagine a Greg Roman/Harbaugh offense being that inconsistent in the run game two years straight. And I imagine we still have quite a bit of roster construction left, so we shall see. Thanks for taking my question! Blessings to you both, In Jesus Name 🙏

  2. I wonder, could James at center and Bozeman at left guard be a better combination than one that includes Zion Johnson at either of those positions. Any thoughts on that?

  3. Dan, my guy, what a shit half baked ass take to compare Stone Smartts best season (2024) vs Conklin (2021). Conklin was a starter for all 15 games.

    Stone was TE2/TE3 and started 2 or 3 games in 2024. This is probably the worst take I've ever heard in the 3 years of listening to you

  4. QJ to me is a bust like Jerry tillery. He’s not going to do much and be deserving of the first round pick from the garbage old regime. He kinda reminds me of Travis Benjamin scared of the ball and getting hit by the defense

  5. Aren’t you guys tired of signing guys to just get us by? You cannot win a superbowl without at least 6 super star difference makers on your team. We cannot win this way so i say make the trade for Warren or Loveland.

  6. Guys you talk about how valuable those first three round picks are and thats true. But don’t forget those are still a crap shoot and how much impact a Tyler Warren would make immediately makes it worth it to trade. I like your trade proposal at 18 for Loveland so at least do that. Either way, please get Herbert a real star and not just another one year scrub.

  7. Conklin is the PERFECT Hortiz style signing. Upgrade, no draft capital, plugs a hole so they don’t HAVE to reach for ANY position. They are “set” in every position group. Maybe not stars, but solid players in every position group. The whole roster is better already than last year. Now, just like Alt, Ladd, Jr, Still and Hart, last draft, they have the luxury to bring in the best players not reach players this upcoming draft, that are on rookie contracts for the next few years.

    Basically, would you rather have Fannon/Taylor/Arroyo in the third round, on a Rookie Contract for the next four years with Conklin in the room as a solid stopgap veteran, or Goedert/Andrews at 11 million plus for one year for the same third round pick??

  8. Lots of players become available after the draft once teams see what they got. This is only phase one of multiple phases. Can’t shoot the whole wad now. Slow, smart, steady.

  9. I love the idea of trading back. There's a whole bunch of really good players in rounds 3-5. I would stay away from a RB in round 1. The problem to me, is that 2 backs can do what 1 can do, if they compliment each other, plus you don't see 10 year veteran RBs killing it. Most RBs only last about 5 years, and they're really only effective with a good OL. I think a NT, Edge or a TE is the best idea. But a trade down with more picks later would be better I think. Kenneth Grant is great, but Tyleik Williams or Deone Walker, Jamaree Caldwell may be available in the 3rd round. This draft is going to be fun.

  10. If we can't get either of the top 2 TEs, it'd be great to address EDGE, WR, (either IOL or RB) in first 3 rounds, then we should address TE in FA for sure. If we get one of them, it'd be great to do EDGE and WR in 2nd and 3rd.

  11. We've absolutely got to take a RB at 1 or 2. We cant keep having just a guy at RB. Najee is on a one-year deal and doesn't add explosive big play ability to the offense. This is the year to invest in a top notch RB. Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman want a big, physical run heavy offense, so the RB position is essential to being that. I'd go TE at #1 unless Jeanty is sitting there, but Cam Skattebo, Omarion Hampton or even TreVeyon Henderson in the second round, could immediately add value to the Offense.
