Correct. Difference is he was a unanimous top 10/15 prospect who had a much higher pedigree.
Maybe in March. As the draft approched almost everywhere had him as a 1st round pick. Im not going base my opinion on a player a year later based on where people had him ranked in March
Disagree. Here is a list of what the consensus rankings were averaged out from some if the top media scouts. Smith was not in the top 32.
You say he's a guaranteed 1000-yard runner in the NFL but his college stats shows the most he ever rushed for is little. over 600 yards.
Correct, end of February. What changed in 1 month?
He ran for 926 yards last year
Are you kidding lol. A ton changes between February and April. Thats when coverage pics up and the media reviews more film and updates rankings
Did we really play an explosive passing offense in the playoffs? Bucs struggled all season and the 49ers are more of a run first team. A good passing attack probably would have had more success. Muku might be our starting SS next season, where I think Bland is a better slot corner then on the outside. We know our depth is terrible, at worst we have to get better. Yes, you can make a case needing a linebacker, but that's not a high valued position, we need more of a 2 down type of backer who is strong against the run. I could see them drafting Sanders, but a lot has to be off the board in front of them.
He rushed for 926 yards last season with 6.1 yards per carry.
We’re talking about an OL player…the film was done. As long as he doesn’t flip the combine is borderline irrelevant.
The GOAT with two top 20 wideouts and Purdy was looking like Joe Cool with Deebo and Kittle before he played the Cowboys. I don’t think there were better passing teams in the NFC playoffs the Cowboys could have played. You don’t reach for the 5th or 6th best corner that is how we ended up with Bossman. I don’t know what the Cowboys will do at 26.
Corner is so deep, they may have 5 1st rd grades at the position and might be in a similar situation at 58 when they selected Joseph. I still believe it's the odds on favorite for 26.
Most likely position to actually get a 1st round talent IMO.
The draft is strong at running back, corner, and tight end.
100%. Great year to add a RB and a TE. Just not in the 1st.
Nothing wrong with adding the best player at a position. Mayer or Gibbs gives them that.
And terrible value due to position.
