is this pick gonna be one of those bullets on a worst of all time list?

He's a two or three year developmental project taken in the middle of the first round.

Worst of all time, probably not. Just dumb.

Hard for me to decide whether I dislike the 49ers black jerseys or the Armstead pick worse. Man does the Jed York Show suck real bad.

I've figured it out.

Neither is worse than the other, they're exactly the same.

Both are boring, stupid, unnecessary things that arrived at the wrong time (Armstead in the 2nd or 3rd round, black uniforms in the 90s).

Just realized that the Browns offense is going to be

QB: FA Josh McCown
WR: FA Dwayne Bowe
WR: FA Brian Hartline
WR: FA Andrew Hawkins
TE: FA Rob Housler
TE: FA Gary Barnidge
TE: FA Jim Dray
and finally
RB: draft pick Terrence West
RB: draft pick Isaiah Crowell
RB: draft pick Duke Johnson

The Free Agent Offense, and what an offense it is

On the other hand, Crowell + Johnson means you never have to pass the ball, so that's a thing in your favor.

Niners won't be lucky enough to get 1st overall next year, their defense is still going to be pretty good.

They'll either replicate this past year and be dragged down by an anemic offense to an ~7-9 finish, or Kap will actually improve and they'll finish with a winning record that still lands them just outside the playoffs.

Far worse than finishing last, because it provides no real hope for the future through the draft :(

Kazak_Hstan posted:

49ers defense is not good enough to carry them to wins. Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, Chris Borland, Patrick Willis, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox are all missing from last year. No new CBs, no new ILBs other than Wheeler, Armstead is somehow simultaneously a fearsome prospect while also being a literal feeble person who has never lifted weights. Plus no Fangio, plus no Ed Donatell somehow conjuring good seasons out of trash heap DBs.

It's going to be a real live poo poo show.

Despite what people may tell you, Justin Smith hasn't retired yet (and I suspect he'll be back for one more year, if he's waited this long). The starting ILBs last year were Borland & Wilhoite, this year they'll be Bowman & Wilhoite; actually an improvement. Culliver & Cox are decent CBs, but not exactly elite guys, and they have several CBs returning from IR to replace them (CB was never the strength or focus of the defense). As for Armstead, I suspect he will magically "re-injure" his ankle and have a redshirt year, but he was drafted as a developmental guy anyway. The defensive personal will be largely equivalent to last year's talent when they were a top 10 defense.

The only downgrade from last year to this year is the coaching, which is potentially significant but largely an unknown. I think they'll be okay.

Who's left from the Front 7 if he gets punished/cut? Bowman?

Brooks was already benched last year.

Aldon Smith, Aaron Lynch, Corey Lemonier (OLB), Justin Smith, Tank Carradine, Tony Jerod-Eddie, Quinton Dial (DE), Glenn Dorsey, Ian Williams (NT), Navorro Bowman, Michael Wilhoite (ILB) is what's left. They added Eli Harold and Darnell Dockett.

Edit: and I guess Arik Armstead, but I'm trying to forget that.

You are consistently high on Bowman. I'm pretty skeptical of him until I actually see him on the field at a high level. It was such a gruesome injury and the recovery seemed to have multiple setbacks.

Say what, now? Where are you getting that from? No setbacks that I know of, and he's already been taking part in the training minicamp.

How could anyone possibly be excited about the Niners this next year? Literally nothing went right

Yeah, you're missing what's happening here. No one's arguing whether they should be excited about the Niners this season or not. It's whether they're going to be a complete disaster or merely mediocre.

My money's on mediocre, because disaster might actually lead to eventual improvement.

Hang onto this thought at Jimmy Graham does very bad things to your secondary

2014 Jimmy Graham yards: 76
2013 Jimmy Graham yards: 41
2012 Jimmy Graham yards: 33
2012 (Playoffs) Jimmy Graham yards: 103

Hasn't been a huge factor any time they've played him so far, outside of that playoff game (when, by comparison, Vernon Davis went for 180 yards).

Yeah but that was when the 49ers were good and had a good head coach

Because if there's one thing Jim Harbaugh did for the 49ers, it was draw up an excellent defensive plan.

Your team is uh quite a bit different since then

Losing Fangio hurts the most, but even last year - when everyone was injured - the defense did well against him. If the Seahawks can turn him into a decent blocker, he'll worry me more (a lot more).

He may have been hidden in a Mike Leach offense but I always thought there was something there with Halliday that NFL coaches could work with. That leg injury was loving brutal, though. What could have been.

Halliday came into the NFL thinking all he had to do was bulk up; he soon realized that would just make his hands thicker, not actually larger. Retirement was the only way to go, after that.
