So you don’t think a back like Gibbs and McCaffery doesn’t impact the game more than a guy like Connor?
Than 2026 Conner? Probably, but not much.

I don’t think Gibbs or McCaffery add much marginal value over Tyler Allgier independent of surrounding cast, offensive system, etc. they offer some, but not a ton.

Shanahan took the 49ers to the Super Bowl with Raheem Moestert and Tevin Coleman as his leading rushers.

Not the issue.

The issue is you hired an offensive coach and his first pick is a defensive guy.

Gannon ain’t here no more. Give the chef the ingredients he wants to cook with. Give the guy a fighting chance to actually win.
One of the two players listed is the best offensive player in the draft. :confused:

People can point out flaws and use examples of such and such team doing it with less.
The point is at 3, you want to try and get a player that can change your team.
Trading back for a RT doesn't do that.

Love could.

ya know...he just might...in a new offensive system...wait and see I guess
He had the same terrible catching technique at Ohio State, probably has had it since grade school. Maybe he's fixed it by year 3? If he doesnt learn how to catch properly it doesnt matter who the OC is.

I have a feeling this is exactly what's going to happen. We're going to trade back and end up with Fano and Simpson, purely panic-based, need-based drafting, instead of getting any kind of game changing player. Fano will end up being a league average OT we're talking about replacing in a few years, and it'll be less than a year before we consider running back the plan on Josh Rosen/Kyler Murray with Simpson and whoever the new hotness is next year.
This plan worked well when passing on Suggs

You guys need to watch his film, one thing about Notre Dame, love them or hate them, lol.... anyhow, they don't play cupcakes where a lot of backs feast on yardage. They even lost their early games last year, they schedule hard games all year. So he's the real deal.

Yes. Purdue, Arkansas, and Boise State very scary programs.
Boston college and Navy traditional powerhouses.

Hell yes! Not going to lie I was terrified we were going to draft another positionless linebacker in Reese. Love is a true alpha, I don’t care if he is being paid top 7 RB money, that won’t matter when he wakes this offense up.

I love Connor’s career as a cardinals, but my man had a terrible injury and is 30+, he’s here to mentor.

Algier will be a great second back similar to Atlanta.

I love the Love pick considering how weak this draft is- this team desperately needs a playmaker

Who do you think they should have drafted?

Well, so much for trading back in to take him. Good thing Simpson is terrible according to so many people on this board. Lol

Whoops wrong thread. Oh well, I’m leaving it.

I dunno. I don’t have time to study up on the draft anymore. Especially one that is as mid as this one.

Michael completed his journey to becoming his father tonight.
Classic. So you’ve taken the perfect position to just take potshots in case the pick goes bad without going out on a limb and saying who you think should have been the pick. Should make for some good snark down the line from you that I’m sure we’ll all love.

What is the point of this post? Is this about football?

He would have had to hire a coach who'd never coached in the NFL and had been retired for 15 years to do that. We picked Ottis Anderson the year after we lost Coryell to the Chargers over money and Bidwill tampering with personnel. Bidwill then hired Bud Wilkinson. Bidwill lost Metcalf to the CFL after the 77 season. 78 we had Wayne Morris and Jim Otis, Otis was pretty washed, Morris never panned out so they took Anderson the next year in a week draft. It was the 2nd year of Wilkinson as coach, Bidwill wanted him to start Pisarkiewicz at QB because Jim Hart was 35, Pisarkiewicz was terrible, Wilkinson refused so he fired him with 3 games left in the season.

Honestly as bad as the Cards have been in recent years it doesn't even come close to those post Coryell years
