2024 NFL Draft prospects

[TheMonarch]

Not thrilled along three lines;

1) think he’s a reach
2) means BA’s gone
3) means BA’s gone without getting a 1st

I’d add it’s not a need, but if BA’s gone it is.

1) agreed
2) he is a different player than BA, not a direct replacement. So maybe not
3)that would suck

Not sure its a guarantee BA is gone; it could be that Deebo is gone. While not as strong as Deebo, one of Pearsall's more effective plays was on a jet sweep. The Niners use Deebo as a jet sweeper much more than they do BA.

It does feel like a reach.

Granted it takes two to tango, and maybe there wasn't a viable trade partner out there to trade back. Still, it sure feels like Pearsall could of been had in the mid to late 2nd. Even if not, I don't see what seperates him from other WR's in that range.

Could be Deebo the one gone.

Could be but imo he profiles more like a BA replacement. Route runner, etc. Weird thing about him is the desk I’m watching called him maybe the best separator in the draft and my understanding of him up to now was that’s a question mark. Which might make him more Deebo-sequel, but not in a good way.

[thesack12]

At the moment in my current state of mind, the best thing I can say about the Pearsall pick, is at least they didn't trade up to get him.

[arich35]

I like Pearsall but was a bit shocked. Our WRs room will be a big question after this year and having Pearsall with the 5th year option will give us more room to work. I think all their Tackle and DB guys they really liked were gone

He can also return punts which we need

Also, and this is pretty irrelevant, but I am so tired of our pick coming up and the desk guys are like ‘oh, wow, him?’ before recovering.

He would be a big downgrade from BA. He looks like smaller WR to me. The scouting reports I've read said he struggles against press coverage and physical corners. He doesn't look.like a true no. 1 who would line up against the best corners. He looks like a #2 or #3 WR who can find soft spots in a zone

Mixed on this one. There's a lot to like about Pearsall. Pretty good size, elite change of direction, good routes and hands. It's hard to see him busting, and he could be great in this offense. He could also be our primary kick returner.

That said, there were other players I like more at positions that feel like they are bigger needs. And WR is crazy deep. You will find really good players in the third and fourth round.

All in all, I'm not furious, but I would have gone a different direction here and then trade up in round 2 for him.

Heard someone say that he's 203, but he was really 189, so definitely not decent size.

Elite athlete, at least.

I hate hate hate this pick. If they traded BA to the Steelers and picked up an OL/OT? OK

But now what about Danny Gray and Ronnie Bell?

Hate it

I have a feeling Danny Gray is going to dissappear on this team

Yeah, he’s that for sure, but light, really short arms/wingspan, and he’s 23. In this draft imo there will be guys available event 2-3 rounds from now with pretty comparable value.

Side note, what would you say our draft profile is? The only things that imo we do consistently are not draft OL’s when it seems an obvious need and we seem to love to zig when everyone/common sense says zag. But otherwise we don’t really have what I’d call an identity on draft day. Not even a problem, really, and I’d say that locker room identity is a strength…might even be a good thing, but sometimes I worry that we don’t take it seriously enough.

[CrimsonCrew]

I wouldn't assume Aiyuk is gone. If they are going to keep Aiyuk, they've got to get more creative with him. Move him around in the formation, motion him. But they can't do that because they have to protect Deebo. He needs to be off the line or in motion.

By adding another receiver with scheme versatility, they could be trying to replace Deebo (not with a similar player, but no one is Deebo) with a player who will give them the flexibility to feature Aiyuk more.

Lukewarm on the pick, but Danny Gray and Ronnie Bell should not influence their decision making at all. Especially Gray.

[CrimsonCrew]

For those saying OL, Powers-Johnson is the only OL worth the pick. Could have - and arguably should have, since they reached anyway - for Suamataia, but he's a project.

Makes sense, he was drafted in the 3rd round after all

[RIPskaterdude]

No one even mocked him going in the 1st round. They have needs at CB, OL, could even argue at LB, and they go WR because they lost McCloud?

[Bald Bull]

I'm trying to be positive despite my disappointment in the surprise pick, one thing i noticed is Pearsall's QB is trash and Pearsall constantly bails him out with nice adjustments to poorly placed balls. His QB threw a lot of off target hospital balls, but with a better QB and kyle scheming I can see him making improvements. Good blocker and skilled route runner, i get why kyle likes him, i hope he makes me forget my shock of taking a WR over the available CBs
