Hello, is this thing on?

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@BrettKollmann I’m a 49er fan. No one’s looking too closely at the role of our running backs coach in all of this. He’s very old school and I don’t doubt his coaching ability at all but I’m beginning to wonder about his role in our draft process for these players.

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@nwagoner Say they go for OG/FS, I wonder how much they’re thinking that next year’s class is loaded and a crowd of first-round-calibre QBs will push other premium positions down. A lot of ifs in that scenario but it’s also why we aren’t seeing much 2027 capital traded so far.

@mattbarrows There’s a substation just over a mile away too. It’ll be just like home.

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@nwagoner @timkawakami I think we’re all romanticising Hufanga a bit. Of course he’d be great as a leader and a contributor. But would it really be that much better? the safety room would still be too samey. Whatever scheme dictates, I think it lacks a free safety type.

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@mattbarrows Do you/TK have any sense of how the offense might evolve for the coming season? (There seemed to be less play action last year than the year before, for example. )

@Steph49K Carolina or Chicago will likely take him

@PureGym hey folks, how do I find out what my membership number is? I need it to link my account to a work discount scheme.

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@TayborSnapping Thank you! Another team is gonna get a good one. All the best

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@nwagoner They do this most years, don’t they? Drafting a year ahead.

So who we draft will be heavily influenced by next year’s free agents:
- Kittle (presumably extended)
- Jennings
- Floyd
- Gross Matos
- McKivitz
- Burford
- Juice (if not cut this year!)

Trenches it is!

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@mattbarrows Love this! Especially the Bassa pick. How do you reckon they replace Ward and fill the free safety void? Patch up in free agency?

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@Graham_SFN Well said. I wonder: Will letting some stars go be not just a necessity (to accommodate the Purdy contract) but also a blessing? Is the core scarred to that extent that it hurts the team moving forward?

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@mattbarrows Will Luter see playing time in Ward’s absence? Jon S

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@MaioccoNBCS Does this mean they’re happy with what they’ve seen from Anderson in live reps?

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@sportslarryk I don’t think the ranking is super unreasonable. I’d question having Prescott, Mayfield and Goff above Purdy like he does. But I agree with Simms that, all other things being equal, I couldn’t pick Purdy over the 12-13 other QBs.

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@mattbarrows Great mock! Any chance they’ll draft a safety though? Hufanga’s a free agent soon after all

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@Graham_SFN Kris Jenkins, end of round 1!

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@Graham_SFN Christian Jones, Javon Foster, Robert Rosengarten, Blake Fisher

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@mattbarrows Frigging love that pick! IOL in the second round and we’re cooking

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@MaioccoNBCS @jenniferleechan Given that the front office draft not for this year but for the following one, which positions are they likely to target in the draft? Safety? TE? WR?

[Jon S @nretsnoj]

@LombardiHimself Hi David! Given the front office's propensity to draft for 'next year' (see Tartt to Hufanga transition), can we expect any of last year's crop to step up and fill any of the gaps?
