2025 nfl draft thread

well, that's kinda what happens when you waste so many **** draft picks on RBs not on the roster anymore, bad trades and kickers.

Lynch should get Shanny out of the war room this time around completely.

One of the biggest head scratchers for me especially given than they have had so much success with unbdrafted rookies at the RB position. Guerendo hopefully is a break in that. Shows some promise if he doesn't become injury prone.

We've had 8 first rounders under Lynch/Kyle and out of those only 3 are still on the roster: Bosa, Aiyuk and Pearsall, and now there is talk of Aiyuk being traded *after* we give him a big ass contract.

Kinlaw, Lance, Foster, Thomas all busts. McGlinchey is fine but didn't even make it to his second contract with us.


the second/third rounds haven't been better either. we *have* to hit on this draft or Lynch/Kyle should be shown the door. we can't just build with day 3 guys and free agents.

i don't understand why OT Logan Brown isn't seen much higher by folks, good tape and measured/tested well in the combine

we like OL guys who do well in the 20 yard shuttle and he got pretty close to that magic 4.47 number (4.51). wouldn't be surprised if they say **** it on an OL in the 1st and just take a guy like Brown in the mids.

everything happening so far makes Jihaad Campbell a legitimate target at 11, even though typically you don't want to take LBs that high, but Campbell came into Alabama as a DE actually, and can spot some snaps as a DE on obvious passing downs, while giving us starting caliber LB next to Warner. also good in coverage in the middle of the field.

Player comp picks are official, and there's great news for the Niners. We netted four, which was expected, but one that was projected as a 4th (for Darnold?) is actually going to be a 3rd. That means what was looking like pick 138 is not 100. That is outstanding in a draft that has a ton of quality depth. So now we have a first, a second, three thirds, and two fourths.

Ok, no running backs, kickers, or punters in the third or fourth this time

[CrimsonCrew]

Actually, I may be wrong about that. Ugh. Instead, it may be that the third-round pick was for the FO personnel losses (Ryans and Carthon) and we only got three picks for players. That would effectively mean we lost a fourth-round pick from the projections. WTF???

[CrimsonCrew]

This is now two years in a row that the Niners have gotten less compensation than projected by independent sites. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but given that the Niners have done a masterful job of manipulating the comp pick system, it's hard not to see some design when they are the one team who is not getting the projected value of comp picks.

I'm pretty steamed about this. Two years ago, we lost Jimmy G for what should have been a third-round contract. But because of limited playing time, they reduced it to a fourth. This year, we lost Darnold on a contract that would have canceled out, but because of playing time and post-season honors, it should have been a 4th. We got a 7th. Unbelievable.

I'm obsessing, I realize, but this is just unreal:

Over the cap's projections. They are spot on with a few exceptions at the margins. Xavier McKinney netted the last 3rd instead of the first 4th. Bobby Wagner netted a late 5th instead of a high 6th. The only major discrepancy? The Niners' two fourths and a seventh turned into a fourth and two sevenths. Very similar phenomenon last year with Garoppolo, whose contract was clearly commensurate with a third-round pick.

Maiocco says we have pick 100

[clyde21]

if Graham's gone at 11 my new favorite there is Jihaad Campbell. we really need a guy in the front seven that can do a bunch of stuff for us, dude can play both WLB and SLB and can blitz standing up or even line up as a DE on obvious passing downs. a perfect piece for Saleh imo.

i'm ruling OL out at 11 unless Membou is there and even if he's available I don't see this FO going OL with the pick. we'll see though **** is changing weekly.

This wouldn’t be the first time the league slapped the Niners down as an example to the league for pushing the envelope; it was the Niners safeties they used as the demonstrations of the kinds of hits they wanted to see cleaned up by the new safety rules in the videos the league distributed, and the next season they were absolute flag magnets.

At this point trading down would not be a bad option if a deal was there for acquiring a decent return

wouldn't be against it as long as we can get a strong front seven piece, Jihaad Campbell, Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams all would work.

[arich35]

I think there is no way we don't go DL in the 1st unless there is a LB to pair with Warner?

IDK that you can ever say no way when it comes to Shan/Lynch as they shown to do the unexpected. After this free agency period there are alot of holes to fill on the roster so i could see them taking other than DT with the first pick depending on who falls to eleven. I think they could choose who they view as an impact player with the first pick over what is their biggest need

[RIPskaterdude]

Sadly with all the changes they are definitely going LB, DE or DT with the 1st pick, despite the desperate need for an OL

For sure. Corner wouldnt shock me either although i would say less likely

[Jikkle]

I think it's now more likely they go defense in the 1st round but I wouldn't rule out OT especially if one of the prime guys falls in their laps.
