Stop using your logic and reason and get on this damn bandwagon already. =( Yeah, I don't want to be the party pooper. Obviously, I'm rooting for 16-0 lol. I'm also trying to just temper my expectations. I'm just a fan of larger sample sizes before clearly committing to one line of thought. I can definitely see that middle ground 7-9 / 8-8 / 9-7, and that's where my expectations lie. But a couple of guys progress, perform better than expected, and I wouldn't be super shocked if we finished 10-6 / 11-5, but it woudln't be expected for me, is all. I remember in 2011, people thought we were going to be terrible. Peter King infamously had us with the worst record and winning the suck for luck sweepstakes. There's a legitimate argument to be made that we were the best team in football that year, and obviously we finished as one of the top 4. I still believe that if we beat the giants in that game, we beat the Pats in the superbowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew this was going to come up, and I think it's the absolute worst one yet. 2016 Jared Goff is more than enough for me to say this is far more likely an elite coach making the most out of a talented, but not elite QB. I'd be far more inclined to believe in Wentz/Pederson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be far more inclined to believe in Wentz/Pederson I'm of a similar mindset (Wentz > Goff with Pederson as a very good coach and potentially more), but for some reason, I do think that McVay is a rockstar as a head coach. I think he's going to be a great one (if you don't consider him there already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what saved Goff, and it's why Goff will likely reach his full potential as a good to great QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder. I feel all legitimate edge rushers will be gone in the first round. I'd like our first two picks to be edge rushers.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Matt Millers 1.0 mock draft. Using Vegas odds to slot the teams. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2791109#slide1 He has us taking cornerback Michael Jackson from Miami at 24th. A lot will change from now until then, but at first glance I'm not thrilled with the suggestion. Edited August 18, 2018 by PapaShogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're trying to figure out who our #2 CB will be? Suuuuure. And I wouldn't call us "light at receiver" either. We don't have top end talent (maybe... I'm not sure Pettis won't turn out to be an elite talent just yet), but we have a lot of good pieces there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give him a little credit, he does seem a bit in tune with the niners in the past, but he is not overly well regarded, particularly by the draft forum. He's especially noted for having random change of hearts about a prospect after other draft evaluators publicize opinions (ie, he hated a prospect all season, Jeremiah posts the virtues of said player and why he will go really early, and Miller suddenly does a 180 and the prospect is suddenly very good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm going to be so so so so so so disappointed if we don't end up with a legitimate edge rusher in the first round next year. Haven't watched any of Jackson so won't comment on him, but get us a edge rusher please John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I strongly suspect the reason we didn't go all in on a pass rusher this year was because of the perception that this up and coming class is better. We won't know that for a while so I'm sort of biting my tongue on if it was a mistake this past draft..but i'm still leery of trading up for pettis vs landry. That said, I've warmed up to Pettis quite a bit. He may not be an elite number 1, but he's so incredibly toolsy that he could do a lot of damage with a mind like Shanny.

I think Pettis has a chance to be very good, I will admit, but I have already stated my admonishment of making that trade up for him. I wasn't even a Landry fan (well, not as much as most were on this board - I had him a little earlier than where he went and was willing to take him in the first if we traded down), but given the tremendous upside I viewed him as having, and the positional importance, that absolutely would have been my move as opposed to trading up for Pettis. I think that definitely says something when I may have been the lowest out of anyone in the 49er forum. I hope Pettis blows up, but man, Landry at that spot was just such incredible value.
