y2lamanaki Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just now, John232 said: Lol fair point, but I'm more just dumbfounded we're not at least drafting for depth/ST at positions of relative strength. As Forge said, just feels like a wasted pick. We have Lee and Mayo already who have shown to be good special teamers. Same with Pita T. Not sure what Greenlaw does well. Yeah - I'm not a big fan of this pick as I thought he would be a guy to look for in the UDFA pool. So I understand everyone's frustration. Just pointing out that at this point in the draft, we're just looking for those small roles to be filled and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'm expecting Blessuan Austin with one of our 6th round picks, but after that, I have no idea. Maybe a true tight end and interior offensive lineman? Honestly, the safety market is pretty barren at this point in the draft, so it would be hilarious if now is the time we go in that direction.

Nah... it's just that our roster is now so stacked that we can afford to draft a punter in the 4th. Unfortunately, it is a punter not nicknamed after a nationality and a tool.

GW21 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 What's Dak's point about people doubting him? What has he done to prove anyone wrong? He's solid, but to me he's just a game manager with an awesome O-line and running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Is it weird that I'm getting weirdly hyped about the UDFA frenzy that comes after the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our best players in this regime have come from the UDFA pool. ....and Mack Wilson goes to Cleveland. Damn man, Cleveland is making the right moves. Greedy in 2 and Mack in 5. Man I wish we'd make great value picks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad philosophy, to be honest. Certainly looks great at the time of the draft. Will be interesting to see how this class pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a reason that these players are the 'biggest names' though. I don't think many would argue for Dre Greenlaw over Mack Wilson on this board though.

We've also found solid contributors in each UDFA class, one of the things they're better at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalNiner Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 This year we franchised a kicker and drafted a punter with our 4th round pick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Damn you New England...now I'm completely screwed when it comes to having a punter on the roster going into the season when it comes to "are you smarter than" LOL. I'll be signing some really terrible free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straighthate Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Feel like we should trade all 3 of our 6th rounders for future picks. I think they felt Bosa was such a great pick and the after party was so amazing that the hangover has been hard to overcome. Better luck next year.
