Fortunately, there actually are TEs worth taking in the 1st round. Since we have no FB we are more likely to carry 5 TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, there actually are TEs worth taking in the 1st round. Since we have no FB we are more likely to carry 5 TE. Burton at the end of the season had like 4-5 offensive snaps per game. His value was on ST alone. That job could be done by any TE, LB, S, heavy WR type of guy. If that is Bell .. with some extra value at TE .. be my guest. But carrying 5 TE .. that's not for the offense .. even with a focus on ST .. I think 4 is sufficient.

onejayhawk Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Personally, I will let the staff figure out who to carry and how many will be TE. You are not wrong that ST will play a big part in some of the selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I really don't want to get in these debates anymore, but just to have it in writing, regarding the last like page and a half: 3-4 versus 4-3 makes virtually no difference anymore. Every time this has come up it devolves into people talking about the old Fairbanks-Bulloughs 3-4 defense, which, not even New England really runs that anymore, first of all, and second of all, the alignment matters less than the technique and the gap responsibilities, and even if Spags ran a 3-4 alignment he's not going to run an old school 2 gapping 3 man DL, and third, everyone is in nickel anyways. 3-4 versus 4-3 is a meaningless conversation that's about semantics and what we want to call the positions. Hell, Frank Clark loved standing up last year. We still called him a DE because why not. We don't need another TE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well throw that in the garbage can because you’re taking away our most valuable defensive player Edited March 25, 2023 by RedGold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicfre2011 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I posted this in the General forum,, but wanted to get takes in here... Any thoughts on Brandon Aiyuk as a trade target? I know the 49ers just picked up his fifth year option but could they look to sell high now? His name was mentioned as a potential trade target of the Chiefs on an episode of KCSN podcast and the more I think about it the more it seems like a potential Brett Veach move that kind of comes out of left field and surprises people to an extent.

onejayhawk Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 The problem with Aiyuk is twofold. First, his team is not motivated to move him. Second, it would be for only one year. If the 49ers were to play him this season and then let him leave, he would bring substantial value in compensation formula. So, the cost in trade capital is going to be high, even though he would not have a clearly defined role on the Chiefs. The one year deal is the real roadblock. At just under $4 MM he would not be cheap and an extension is unlikely. Still, if it were a player for player deal, it might work. It would depend on the players in question.

kingseanjohn Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I just noticed that Antoine Wesley is a FA. I wouldn't mind bringing him in for depth competition and development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 I have been expect the Bush signing. He's our defacto ST captain. The crew around him should be a lot better this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
