With there back loaded deals lol 😂… how many SBs has SF won again since 2017???? Think it’s zero 

That is fair. They haven’t won a SB yet. Doubt this statement from you has much shelf life though. You can make this argument for one more week. Winning it all is a whole other story about finishing the job. But the Niners are a team that’s been contending and had great odds of wining the SB for years now. But what did they do for this season? Were they a perennial contending team that was on the decline? No! They added and improved the team. A contending team that brought in the most expensive FA. Whoa…how hasn’t this blown your mind? How can you be thinking about their situation and not understand how you could be a contending team that adds to itself….instead of declines?

So you think Howie would take him at 22? For me that is an impossible reach,so I avoided scouting him. First step is you have to think Like Howie

Maybe if he gets struck by lightning.

I found DeJean to be an interesting prospect I'd like to have.

Realistically no I’d guess OL or DL but still hoping Howie might surprise me lol 😂 love to see a CB/LB with our top to picks or vice versa

Better then SFs lol 😂 your team you love to mention 

I’ll take that nonanswer as you understand and agree with my point

Not even mentioning the future SF has sacrificed in draft picks gave up how many picks for CMC, Trey Lance and now young 

Yet still been improving. A team that’s been contending for years. Light bulb go off yet for you?

And then they have the same number of SBs as us and then you can say that we got robbed of a SB thanks to a PI call that shouldn’t have happened… by all accounts I think we win without the refs ruining that game

And we haven’t???? Have we lacked the ability to add or have we failed on the players we added???

We added Swift we added Byrd we added players… we paid Bradberry and Slay by all means we can say we failed on player evaluation but not on contracts

don't feel Purdy is that good.

Maybe but he is good enough with the talent right now I’d have said the same with Brady who I felt got carried by his D for years but he because a stud

Yes we lacked the ability to add. We lost tons of experience and talent.

No we haven’t! I saw nothing but a lesser team we fielded this year compared to last year.

Wow we didn’t add Bradberry to the this years team beyond what was last years team. We simply were able to retain that one player. It was a fail on player evaluation. Adding Byard to try and mask how short our roster was at the S position was snacking lipstick on a pig. Old lost step player….whom we only acquired to begin with because of his cheap attainabililty  from a team very ready to unburden themselves from a player clearly on the decline.

  Just made all kinds of sacrifices just to retain Bradberry and Slay. All being paid by future teams for our franchise. Real brilliance..let me tell you.

DeJean-honest first opinion and that could change as I look deeper. Most of his highlight reel was as a returner. Not something I would want my starting CB to do(although he was very effective in that role). The one EZ pick was a QB overthrow,no special talent required for that. He made some stops after his teammates had guys bottled up already. I would be more interested in the S from Iowa(if he has declared) as he seems to be helping DeJean out alot,at least from what little I saw so far. I would not take him in round 1 ,maybe not even in 2(at THIS point). I will have to look into him more,but that was my first reaction. Perhaps it was knee jerk. As I said that was my initial take that he is overrated. So I will do more on him and see what I can dig up. DB's are not my strong suit,but this will be a good learning thing for me. Thanks for pointing him out

He wasn’t under contract we didn’t have to pay Bradberry WE CHOSE TO do yes we added him to this years team we could have easily used that money elsewhere

We had the ability to add a S was there anyone else better at S in FA or trade??? Maybe guess what WE COULD HAVE ADDED THEM we clearly evaluated WRONG.

And I’m fine again with saying we failed on player evaluation hell even building a team but it wasn’t contract related that the point I’m making… our contracts didn’t hinder us to adding players us adding bad players was an issue

We retained him from last years team is all we could manage to accomplish. We actually added Terrell Edmunds and Morrow. Those blockbuster signings to counter all the talent and experience we lost.

And if we didn’t keep Bradberry we couldn’t have signed a Bette roster then Morow or Edmunds??? Again it was a CHOICE 

The mind you we traded for Bryd gave up picks and paid his contract we could have signed better S we could have S better LBs we CHOOSE NOT TO DO SO THAT THE POINT

Byard was the only one left that could have been had. It was a bad choice,but he was all that was there

That’s the point though we didn’t lack the ability though we lacked on evaluating the position

So the point being what did we add to last year’s contending squad to improve them? What I witnessed was us loosing talented experienced players instead.

I agree we failed EVALUATION not the ability sign completely different things 

We don’t resigned bradberry we don’t bring back slay and we get cheaper options we ge the trade for the bears CB we don’t get the titans S we signed a better FA LB option does the season look different????

point being we had the ability to do different things we CHOSE not to do them though this whole argument is about the contracts that’s it we did bad contracts I agree but it was because we evaluated players wrong not because we couldn’t do the deals

Failed evaluating what addition to last year’s squad? We struggled just to try and retain the old lost a step players on the decline in Bradbury and Slay.

Your point being if we added a LB instead of losing both starting LBs? I think that’s more my point.
