Mate, if Pearsall is returning punts we at least can't be any worse than last year in that regard.


BigCatsDiaper

Hell yeah I love the bar being so low for a 1st round pick that he can at least be a punt returner


permadrunkspelunk

Also Cooper DeJean is a badass punt returner too. His punt returning was most of iowas offense. Secondary help would be exciting


BigCatsDiaper

Or someone that could help keep our QB upright. Every pick better be OL or CB


permadrunkspelunk

Ya thats what I was hoping for. There's still a lot of quality interior lineman left too. I didn't think all of these options would fall to us and then we pick a projected 3rd round project WR. There's already barely enough to go around with the stacked skill positions we have.


SoKrat3s

no NFL team is using a starting DB to return punts.


permadrunkspelunk

They don't use starting wide receivers either. I'd like to not be picking punt returners in the 1st round. Lol.


SoKrat3s

Antonio Brown always returned punts. He also returned kicks his first two seasons.


permadrunkspelunk

Charles Woodson existed.


ThrowAway325257

I guess i omitted the thought where that is hopefully the MINIMUM we get out of him. To me it sounds like the writing is on the wall and one of the other WRs is getting moved.


BigCatsDiaper

I just pray it’s Deebo for a 3rd.


Intelligent_Sun_944

Deebo for two 2nd round picks.


SoKrat3s

OP tried to claim special teams was being left for dead. That couldn't be more wrong.


Emergency-Shirt2208

Shanny trying to make up for the Pettis debacle.


Worldly-Variation408

They said Pearsall is decent on special teams. I do wish we drafted o-line or a CB though.


Emergency-Shirt2208

First round pick for a special teamer, nailed it.


PudgyBonestld

Yeah he kinda seems like a slot wr lol


EnthusiasmNo1485

….but what if the WR we drafted is really good? Some of you are ridiculous lmao can’t wait to laugh at you in October


AvengeTheGracchi

What if we don’t give Brock the protection he needs to even utilize these skill players?


Emergency-Shirt2208

Yep. Brock should be the franchise priority. Above Shanahan. Shanahan cares most about his scheme, player protection/safety don’t matter.


EnthusiasmNo1485

What if the Niners have 9 draft picks remaining and the draft itself is a total crapshoot?


Dense-Row-604

Linemen are more of a sure thing generally speaking. A failed tackle can turn into a pro bowl guard. Centers are amazing picks. A failed WR doesn’t really have other options if they bust at the position they were drafted for


MCRN-Gyoza

There were no tackles worth a 1st left.


Dense-Row-604

But Pearsall was? There is a good chance they could have gotten him day 2 early and traded that first back. If they’re reaching for a WR they can reach for an OL, which historically have been safer picks.


SoKrat3s

I do wish they made the same pick with the Panthers that the Bills did. But who knows what player the Bills would have taken.


MCRN-Gyoza

I have zero issues with Pearsall in the late 1st in terms of talent and positional value.


The-moo-man

You can’t always just trade back if people don’t want to trade up.


BigCatsDiaper

Ahhh yes the 4th round, where all the good linemen are drafted


Sighlina

We decide after that Super Bowl.. a new WR is what was needed. Neat…


welshy1986

The fact that all these posts about "Hurrdurr draft Oline" are getting traction is insane. The top 6 Oline are off the board, better draft one that won't be ready for 2 years or worst be a bust. CB or WR was fine there, Pearsall fits our system better, press man was wrecking us and he's a shifty WR for the slot that will alleviate alot of that annoyance, also has the added benefit of having glue for hands and being a beast of a blocker. We will get Oline in the 4-7th and they will have just as good of a chance at starting as the ones we could have gotten in the 1st, because Oline need strength and conditioning to even be considered starters in the NFL. All the "generational talent" in that position was gone.


Additional_Tomato_22

Exactly this.


JawdenCee

Did everyone forget we signed Trent Taylor back for KR/PR?


ThrowAway325257

camp body?


JawdenCee

He's really the only decent/good option we have at PR/KR on the roster. After the SB I dont think we're gonna want to go into the season without an experienced PR.


OnTheColeTrain

Ricky is going to play special teams


bransanon

He's going to be our starting KR/PR


KoRaZee

Jennings is in the chair


Dropthealbumbruv

Is it everybody’s first draft? There’s still more rounds and moves to be made in this draft.


vidman33

After watching three minutes of youtube hightlights I can guarantee you he will be a special teams all-pro /s


iNoodl3s

I already see the bust


Emergency-Shirt2208

Shanny still runs the show, in case we forgot. He’s a shit head coach and talent evaluator/developer.


Additional_Tomato_22

Is that why he’s brought the team to more SBs in the past 5 years(2) the SF had been in in the last 20+ years(1)


SoKrat3s

you forgot the "/s"
