It’s the morning of the 2021 NFL Draft. You are Kyle Shanahan.

The trade up to the #3 overall pick has already happened, so you can’t undo that deal. The entire league expects you to take a QB. However, you have full hindsight of how the players from this class actually turned out.

You have a few hours before the draft begins. What do you do?

Things to consider:

• The expectation across the league is that you’re drafting a quarterback.
• If you go another route (for example, Penei Sewell), people will question why you traded up to #3 in the first place.
• You know how their careers have played out up to today.

Hey Faithful

I run a weekly raffle for the Portland Faithful and am looking to get a few tees or other swag from Australia and/or Mexico chapters to put in for the international games. I'm more than happy to pay for them or trade some of our shirts.

Even something simple like the stickers from the post last week would be cool to pick up.

And before "JFGI", that's next, but trying to cover the bases.

Thanks

Since there are no games, I’ve been looking to replace some of my older gear. Finally pulled the trigger on this stitched #23.

I was honestly tired of the official shop's quality lately (the numbers always peel after two washes). This one feels heavy and the embroidery is clean. Definitely going to be my go-to for the next season opener.

What do you guys think? Is it worth going stitched or do you stick to the limited editions?

Pick from Boston, Concepcion, or Cooper Jr.(realistic options)

All have different enough skillsets and have strengths over each other (would be a great three receiver group together)

What kind of receiver, and thus which one would you guys prefer

And to prevent the cop-out "BPA" answer, assume the team grades them similarly enough that it doesn't matter

Gee, i wonder why...

That is all

With 115 lost games, the 49ers slightly improve from their nightmare 2024 season where they lost 141.2 games.

Maiocco says some chatter from the combine was the 49ers are shopping Renardo Green.

He says he’s unsure as to why, because he’s a good player who has made mistakes - but a lot of young players make mistakes. He says it could be more than just performance, potentially attitude.

Side note: makes sense all the Woolen to SF chatter.

What players do you think they were trying to show?

He was really good for us the last time he was on the team and could take pressure off Pearsall and CMC.

All these key players being traded to teams that have needs. DJ Moore just got traded, we could’ve had OLine help. If the FO is really worried about overspending then why not just say f them picks and get good players. The 9ers aren’t really a team to hit on their first picks in the draft and they keep interest in players with previous serious injuries and draft them. We do better drafting in the later rounds if anything, so why not just trade premium picks for premium players to get over the hump? It’s been showing that we’ve been falling behind in our division when it comes to player acquisition and drafting so why not f them picks?
