2025 nfl draft thread

[Big J]

What do you guys think of Shedeur? He has pretty insane physical talent.

[clyde21]

He picked McGlinchey at #9, who didn't play well here.

I don't know how well he's playing for the Broncos but he's their starter at RT.

He's set to make almost $24 million a year the next 3 seasons.

He was a weak link when here but can't be any worse than the guy the 49ers play at RT now.

McClinchey is playing slightly better than McKivitz but not by much. I have no issue with letting.him go. McClinchey is a better run blocker but he wasnt worth that contract and the slight dropoff between McClinchey to McIvitz is worth the salary savings between the two

no reason why wouldn't have gotten something for him tho a year earlier instead of just letting him go in FA.

CBS has us taking Wilum here in their new mock (they are reading this board maybe)

Did they get a comp pick for him? IDK maybe they weren't comfortable with starting any of those young tackles at that point.

McGlinchey at least before the leg injuries added up was an elite run blocker. He just had a major case of what seems to be a disease that all 49ers RTs get and that's completely blowing in pass protection in critical moments in the game.

McGlinchey is a poster child for the biggest problem we have with Shanahan in that he completely falls in love with run blocking specifically the ability to get to the 2nd level of a defense he'll seemingly ignore all the other issues with the person.

I'd imagine anytime Shanahan created an offensive lineman in Madden he allocated every point into the run blocking stat.

Running the ball is the offenses bread and butter so I don't have an issue focusing more on guys that are better run blockers than pass blockers but it'd be nice to have a little more of a balance than taking guys that are decent run blockers and awful pass blockers.

the weird part is you don't really have to pick either or if you're willing to spend the assets, there are OL that can do both you just need to draft them high lol

It's the one thing I can't figure out with this regime.

I mean I understand their philosophy and I don't necessarily disagree with it because I've contended if we just had an average to slightly above average line we'd probably have a couple trophies under our belt so this offense doesn't need the Lion's offense line to have success.

What I don't understand is why they don't really draft it more when they clearly want more of a revoling door at least with the interior of the line so you'd think instead of wasting 3rd round picks on a Kicker and multiple RBs that aren't on the team they'd use a few more on the offensive line to bolster that.

Someone for 49ers fans to look out for in a couple of years is Notre Dame freshman edge rusher Bryce Young.

He’s Bryant Young’s son.

Bryant apparently moved his family to North Carolina after his 49ers career.

The kid is 6-7 258. He hasn’t produced numbers yet. Apparently had growth spurt in high school and changed to pass rusher at some point.

At his size, he’s more like Aldon Smith than his father. But hopefully his father has helped him develop better character than Smith.

[clyde21]

we've got the 11th pick right now, just lose out and get a top 8 lol...we'll be in position to grab Mason Graham.

really we should not leave this draft without either Graham or Milum in the first round.

I've been eyeing Banks or Campbell at OT, though fair chance (or better) neither falls to us. Do you like Milum more than those guys? Or don't think they make it that far?

[Big J]

I'm thinking that our best bet might be trying to trade our first rounder for JJ McCarthy.

OTs tend to go fast

sounds like both Banks and Campbell will be gone unless we're picking top 8 or something but I think Milum athletically fits better here anyway

Millum.has a good scouting report

[Big J]

What do you guys think of Bryce Lance from NDSU? Trey's lil bro

[Samurai]

Seems just a tad too light for an OT or D-lineman. But if he can work out and gain 100 plus pounds before the draft, you never know!

We're gonna need a Deebo replacement.

[Jikkle]

I'd be shocked if the #11 pick isn't an OT or DL.

I believe they'd prefer an OT at the spot since the position gets scooped up pretty quickly as does the quality of player you can get.

Also while a superstar DL would be great I don't think we need superstars to fix the defensive line. We really just need the DJ Jones kind of defensive linemen and those kind you can find outside the 1st round. We just need a couple of guys that can anchor and eat blockers on running downs.

I am not saying I agree with what the 49ers brass has said about it but if you want to know why when Shanahan/Lynch was asked about why they did not address the oline in the past with some of those picks their response was they felt the players available in the draft at the oline positions were not any better than what they already had on the roster.

[clyde21]

if we land Mason Graham at 11 that'd be a huge coup

[Harry Palmer]

Right now most mocks have us just missing the top OTs. Could change, risers and all that. But if we are just outside looking in, does this FO trade up or are they content to go DL or DB?

Edit: haven’t started going over prospects too much, is there a Greenlaw replacement sitting there for us in the 2nd-4th round?

[clyde21]

this guy looks like someone Kyle would love
