We signed Key and Gallman. Lukewarm on both, but assuming they're both basically minimum deals, I'm fine with it. I'll add that I won't be thrilled if either makes the final roster.

https://ninernoise.com/2021/04/18/49ers-draft-rondale-moore-perfect-shanahan/
49ers NFL Draft: Rondale Moore is a perfect Kyle Shanahan wide receiver


The receiving and rushing numbers should be one thing catching the eye.

Shanahan has long since shifted to more of a positionless offense, which is how he’s frequently used Deebo Samuel the last two years, featuring him on end-arounds and jet sweeps, not unlike how the Carolina Panthers utilized Curtis Samuel, too.

But as Moore’s NFL.com draft profile breaks down, the prospect wideout is awfully polished as a route-runner and has a great tendency to thrive in option routes, which is yet another staple of Shanahan’s West Coast-hybrid offense.

And as shown in some of the highlights below, particularly against Ohio State, Moore displayed the desired traits of speed, shiftiness and even some physicality after getting the ball in his hands:

Those are yet more reasons why Moore would be an excellent fit. He’s more than capable of creating separation from the defense, then using his abilities to generate yards after the catch.

Sounds like yet another tailor-made 49ers player.


It goes on to say that Moore could fall into the 3rd round, possibly as far as the 9ers compesatory #102 pick. I personally think that is a pretty big stretch. if they could get Moore that late I'd be absolutely thriled, but if they want him I think they are going to have to go after him with #43, it wouldn't even surprise me if he's gone by then.


I've been so consumed with the third pick that I haven't given nearly as much attention to other positions. I haven't seen a ton of Moore, but he sounds like he could be a good fit in Shanahan's system, particularly as that slot player we need. It's hard to see him falling to 102, though 5'7" is REALLY small for a WR (and his arm length is in the 0th percentile), so it's not out of the question. Hell, it's small for a RB. And he was primarily used as something of a gimmick player in college.

Our WR need is somewhat connected to our QB selection, too. Aiyuk can be a deep threat, and he's got more than enough speed, but he isn't a true burner. If we add Fields, for instance, it would be really nice to get him a true deep threat. Though any of the three guys we're looking at would be a better deep-ball thrower than Garoppolo, even though Jones' arm probably isn't as strong as Garoppolo's per se. One of the nice things about Samuel and Aiyuk is that they are both versatile. Either guy can line up in the slot, so we aren't limited to pursuing a stereotypical slot receiver. On the flip side, this draft has tons of those stereotypical slot guys, so there's likely to be value there.

In terms of our needs and draft value, it might make more sense to go CB in the second and WR in the third or fourth - I've gathered there's a decent drop-off at the CB position, and we have a pretty significant need there. Recent history suggests you can find good WRs - especially slot guys - later on. Interior OL is also a position where you can usually find value a little later. Our roster is complete enough that, outside of a QB at three, I wouldn't reach for any specific position in the early going. But in an ideal circumstance, I'd love to see us go QB in the first, CB in the second, WR in the third, OG in the fourth, RB and depth across the board in the 5th on.


His height is a concern being that he's 5'7, but overall size definitely is not. Dude is a freaking tank

Read on Twitter


Imagine a dude built like that and can run a sub 4.3 forty yard dash.

Also, In Moore's case I'm not sure height is really that much of an issue. As he has an above average wingspan for is height at 69 3/8". Plus Dude can also jump out of a stadium, his official vertical at his pro day was 42.5" which is impressive enough, but he's reported to get as high as a 45.5" in the past. There is a video of him floating around of him squatting 600+ pounds and he's reportedly done 24 reps on the bench press. He's just an insane athlete. He'll be able to win a lot of matchups with both quickness/speed & physicality.

I do agree with your other points regarding the value of the WR position is probably deeper than CB for instance. Also, which QB they do take at 3 does play a factor in what WR to target later, I just think that Moore checks off so many boxes and is so versatile on how you can use him and can be dangerous in a variety of ways, I don't think who the QB is really will matter much in his case.

I also agree that both Aiyuk and Deebo are capable of lining up anywhere on the field, so 9ers shouldn't need to pigeonhole there WR to just the slot type. I also tend to believe that Moore can do that as well. He seems to be a great compliment to the the current WR duo, as he can be both that shifty guy operating in the middle of the field or the burner going up the sidelines.

On top of all this, Moore provides return ability on special teams. So we could thankfully move on from the Richie James era. Also, I mentioned it in the past, but if 9ers are going to be able to get anything out of Jalen Hurd, he and Moore could make a nice complimentary rotation that would give opposing defenses vastly different dynamics to worry about as Hurd is a huge target.

I think Wes Welker could do wonders with a guy like Rondale. Not sure if his hands will ever get on that level, but I think that Moore can be a faster/stronger/more athletic Steve Smith.

Yeah, I'm assuming they are both on camp invite only type contracts, i.e. no guaranteed money.

Depending on how the draft plays out, I think Gallman has a decent shot at making the roster. He was actually fairly solid after taking over for Barkley when he went down. If last year showed us anything, its that you can't ever have enough capable bodies on the roster.

His wingspan may be above average for his height, but it's first percentile at the position. I think Shanahan can get a lot out of him if we pick him, but I'd prefer it be after a trade back, or a trade up in the third. In this WR class, I'd rather wait before taking a guy who may not have every-down potential with that pick.

Yeah, obviously getting him as part of a trade back from 43 would be ideal. Just not sure if he'll be there.

I've seen him mocked as high as #22 to the Titans and a few times #29 to the Packers. Of course, others have him placed all throughout the 2nd round, and a few mention him in the 3rd. So he's a fairly polarizing prospect amongst the mock draft community.

Worth a shot on basically a no-risk contract, though the guy seems to be a but of a head case.

I didn't realize he was cut on the same day as Maurice Hurst. What's the story with that? He's a guy I'd be pretty interested in. Starting experience, good inside pass rusher. Absolutely tumbled in the draft after discovery of a medical issue that hadn't seemed to be an issue. I'd love to see what he could do under Kocurek.


Well hot damn. John Lynch must be reading this thread.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/22/maurice-hurst-signing-with-49ers/

I'm actually pretty excited about that signing. Hurst has legit talent, and playing alongside a very strong group could be a nice surprise. At the very least, it's some quality depth. I wanted him over Street back in 2018.

Saw this Tweet from Lombardi and it got me thinking. Gotta say, I don't see it the same way he does.

Read on Twitter


My view of the roster, listing locks and good shots at each position:

QB - 2
Locks: #3 pick, backup (unclear who just yet, but likely Sudfeld or Rosen)
Probable: Garoppolo (we'll see)

Other than the third pick, we're unlikely to add here. Only real questions are if we keep two or three, and if Garoppolo sticks.

RB - 4
Locks: Mostert, Wilson, Juszczyk
Probable: Hasty

No mystery at FB, unless we add a backup (Tremble as a hybrid, or maybe Michigan FB Mason). At HB, we'll probably keep four, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we drafted one.

TE - 2
Locks: Kittle
Probable: Dwelley

Entirely possible we look to add a guy here as Dwelley is fine, but only that, and Woerner hasn't shown much.

WR - 3
Locks: Aiyuk, Samuel
Probable: James

Arguably our most unsettled position. We could easily add three guys to this spot depending on health and other factors.

OL - 5

Locks: T. Williams, Mack, Tomlinson, McGlinchey
Probable: Brunskill

Lots of uncertainty here, too. I fully expect the team to bring in one or two more guys over draft weekend.

DL - 8

Locks: Bosa, Ford (can't cut him this year), Ebukam, Kinlaw, Armstead
Probable: Jones, Kerr

I'm calling this eight because there's at least one more guy on the roster at present who will stick, I'm not not sure who tha tis. Almost certainly our most set unit. We have guys who aren't listed here who still have a solid shot at the roster, including Street, Hurst, Givens, Willis, and Key, and may still re-sign Blair.

LB - 3
Locks: Warner, Greenlaw
Probable: Al-Shaiir

No real mystery here, but also no clear depth.

DB - 5

Locks: Verrett, Moseley, K. Williams, Ward
Probable: Tartt, Moore

Another highly unsettled position. We could easily add three more players.

STs - 3

Not even going to bother.

Anyway, being relatively generous, I've got 35 out of 53 spots accounted for. Knowing our FO, I'm quite confident we'll trade up - probably repeatedly - but I think we'd be awfully smart to double-dip at several positions, including WR, OL, and CB. If we're going to do some trading, I'd rather trade picks this year into higher picks next year.

Caveat: this year's CB pool is pretty top-heavy, so if it looks like we could land a solid starting-caliber guy by trading up from 43, I would endorse that. Otherwise, I'd almost prefer to trade back from 43 and try to add more picks in 2022. Though I also think teams will be reluctant to give up 2022 picks for 2021 picks given the uncertainty created this year due to Covid, and the general consensus that next year's class will be deeper.

dont forget we added Wayne Gallman, i think he is more than a camp body, he had decent production filling in for Barkley., I think he has a good chance to be one of our backs.

Reports out a couple weeks ago saying they were resigning Blair, pending a physical. I haven't heard anything since then, so I'm assuming the physical has yet to take place.

As for open roster spots and potentially trading up, if they want to consider there are only a select few roster spots available I would argue the better move is trading back for more picks next season.

Next year's draft class is looking to be thin on quantity, and quality will be watered down as well since they won't have their #1. Since they signed a lot of guys to 1 year deals, they will also have numerous free agents to deal with again and they still won't be in a great salary cap position. Also, I doubt the salary cap will be as restricted leaguewide for free agency next season, so they probably won't be able to bring nearly as many guys back.

They are going to need to bring in some talent in the draft next season, and right now they are limited on how many darts they have to throw.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/02/49ers-canceled-workout-with-mike-mcglinchey-to-keep-their-interest-quiet/

This proves that the 9ers have actively practiced misdirection and smokescreens in effort to mask their draft plans.

However this year, at least as far as #3 is concerned, I just don't see the benefit behind trying to orchestrate some crazy elaborate smokescreen. Short of trying to convince the Jets to take someone Lynchahan isn't interested in, it just seems like a futile exercise. Of course, there is a ton of stuff that I'm not privy'ed to or wouldn't think of anyways so what the heck do I know?

There could also always be something pulled from way out of left field as well. #3 for Aaron Rodgers being one thing I've heard sarcastically thrown around. There could also be some crazy multi-layered blueprint they have drawn up that none of us would have ever dreamed.

So again, what the heck do I know?

This is pretty promising, although Gallman does have an upright running style so he tends to attract contact. Still it shows that he can pick up yardage while absorbing hits. It also leads you to believe that he could provide some durability at a position that was decimated by injuries last season.

Perhaps Gallman could be effective in short yardage situations, something the 9ers' backs haven't excelled at in recent seasons.

Niners picked up McGlinchey's fifth-year option. Dude had better play better this year than he did last year. Man was he a disaster on any significant down. $10.9 million for one year. It's not outrageous for a starting OT (as of now, would be 22nd for a tackle in 2022), but almost certainly more than McGlinchey was worth last year.

Given that RG is a huge hole and the need to develop a future C to take over for Mack eventually the move to pick up McGlinchey's 5th year makes sense and you just hope for a bounce back year since we have other holes to plug on the offensive line that are more dire.

As defensive as these guys can be in their pressers they see the tape and they see the same things we do.

My guess is McGlinchey got lighter so he could pull and get to the outside and next levels quicker but he got too light and it just allowed him to get tossed around like a rag doll in pass pro.

I expect/hope he'll come back heavier and stronger so he can hold up better in pass protection and I'm sure that's what he was told to do in his exit meeting.

Kind of make or break for his career.

Either he has a very good year and is in line for a huge contract or he will only get offered short term prove-it deals.

Can still have a career for awhile on those short term deals, kind of like Iuapati.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sfo/draft.htm

Link to 49ers draft history.

Current regime's first draft was 2017. Their draft crops aren't especially impressive. The first 4 rounds each year are especially troublesome.

2020:
1) Javon Kinlaw: Jury's still out but underwhelming so far
1) Brandon Aiyuk: So far Has the looks of a very effective receiver
2) no pick
3) no pick
4) no pick

2019:
1) Nick Bosa: Great player but injury prone
2) Deebo Samuel: Solid player but injury prone
3) Jalen Hurd: Has yet to play a snap, HIGHLY injury prone
4) Mitch Wishnowsky: A freaking punter in the 4th round, nuff said

2018:
1) Mike McGlinchey: Pretty disappointing player
2) Dante Pettis: Bad player, already off the team
3) Fred Warner: Great player, homerun pick
3) Tarvarius Moore: ok rotational player
4) Kentavius Street: barely clinging onto a roster spot, has made no impact

2017:
1) Solomon Thomas: massive bust
1) Reuben Foster: Colossal bust
3) Ahkello Witherspoon: incredibly frustrating player that did more bad then good, already off the team
3) CJ Beathard: LOL
4) Joe Williams: never played an NFL snap, cut after 1 season and nobody ever signed him

Man was he a disaster on any significant down. $10.9 million for one year. It's not outrageous for a starting OT (as of now, would be 22nd for a tackle in 2022), but almost certainly more than McGlinchey was worth last year.


They almost had to pick up his option. McGlinchey is not a good RT, but they don't currently have a better option at their disposal.

Just don't give him an extension. I can easily see him becoming the Arik Armstead of the offense.

Link to 49ers draft history.

Current regime's first draft was 2017. Their draft crops aren't especially impressive. The first 4 rounds each year are especially troublesome.

2020:
1) Javon Kinlaw: Jury's still out but underwhelming so far
1) Brandon Aiyuk: So far Has the looks of a very effective receiver
2) no pick
3) no pick
4) no pick

2019:
1) Nick Bosa: Great player but injury prone
2) Deebo Samuel: Solid player but injury prone
3) Jalen Hurd: Has yet to play a snap, HIGHLY injury prone
4) Mitch Wishnowsky: A freaking punter in the 4th round, nuff said

2018:
1) Mike McGlinchey: Pretty disappointing player
2) Dante Pettis: Bad player, already off the team
3) Fred Warner: Great player, homerun pick
3) Tarvarius Moore: ok rotational player
4) Kentavius Street: barely clinging onto a roster spot, has made no impact

2017:

Agree that the Lynch/Shanahan draft record is not particularly stellar, although limiting it to just the first 4 rounds leaves out some significant factors. Getting Greenlaw at #5 looks like a big success. And landing Kittle in the 5th round makes up for a lot of mistakes.

At least you can say that they've improved. But they continue to disregard the value of draft picks in an alarming manner. They trade up constantly, the only time I can recall them trading back was when they were targeting a punter in the fourth round. It's not the way to maintain success in the NFL, or at least it would buck the odds if they do.
