Best I've seen and would like to see. Like the players targeted in FA and not sure about the players drafted as I haven't got into that yet but the like the positions taken in each round.  Think the values for the FA's are about 30% below what they will go for. I'm still tempted to keep Graham.

Love the draft. I think you're free agent signings are too low. Top two tackles last year got 4 year 60+ million deals. Conklin is getting morw than 4 for 48. ILB market really could go anywhere but I think Schobert will get similar deal to martinez. I gotta watch some film on Akeem.

Agreed, but he also used AAV instead of cap hit for his projections, so the first year might be right from a spend perspective.

A first round DT and a second ILB with a pulse is a step in the right direction. 

Blacklock appears to be a penetrating DT as opposed to run stuffer and the ILB is a cover guy at 215#, but yes right direction, just wrong guys IMO.

We don't want a run-stuffing DL. We want an all-around DL.

Have you seen our EDGE pass rush? Pretty damn good now isn't it? Have you seen Kenny wiggle his way in for a sack? I certainly don't mind all-around IDL, but we need run-stuffers who can push the pocket and draw double-teams on passing downs, period.

My issue with Blacklock is that he's a drag down tackler that will take the ball carrier for a ride. I really don't understand how he's shooting up the boards unless he's pegged as the next Gerald McCoy, who IIRC, isn't exactly a run stuffer. Regardless of the Blacklock pick, there's gotta be another guy selected. We have nothing but JAG's and a rookie next to Clark. 

As for the rest of this draft, I won't comment on the FA signings though I understand the logic there. I have to reiterate that Mims isn't the type of prospect we should be targeting and I think a lot of people are overvaluing him when there will be better prospects like Hamler and Hill there despite anyone signed in FA. I love who you've selected in the 3rd as well as the 5th(good developmental prospect).

The issue with this is let's say we sign a guy like Mike Pennel. Great. He offers next to nothing as a pass rusher, but is a great run defender. Now the 49ers trot out 22 personnel, forcing Pennel and 2 ILBs out there,  and throw it.

I would much rather have an all around DL. Spend the money (or in this case the 1st rounder)

Edit: If you ALSO want to sign a Mike Pennell, I'm all for it

Lol, I know right. I literally thought of that scouting report right after I made that post.

So just because Mike Pennell can't rush, that means that other guys can't bring pressure? How about our secondary? It's a lot better than it used to be and if we're drafting(in this case) a coverage ILB in the 3rd, wouldn't that result in a coverage sack or an incompletion? Too many what-if's here TBH. I'm not against a guy who's all-around, let's make that clear, but I'm against someone who can only offer a pass rush.

 

Again, in the case of Blacklock, he's a drag-down tackler who regularly chases the ball carrier rather than stuffing them at the line. Go watch his Baylor game and his OU game...
