TheRisen999 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’ve been one of the main proponents of drafting mostly defense throughout our next draft but if we can address all or at least most of our other needs in free agency would you be ok with taking WR Quentin Johnston from TCU with the 8th pick? Looking at the board and other teams needs Johnston is probably our pick if we’re going BPA at 8 and aren’t willing to reach to fill holes on our roster. At 6’4 220 with his skill set Johnston is very reminiscent of a young Julio Jones. Someone like that paired with Kyle Pitts and Drake London would be an absolute nightmare for defenses. Especially, with Ridder at the helm as a dual threat QB.  I’m still personally leaning toward a defensive player but if the top 5 guys are all off the board by the time we pick do we go offense and pick up Johnston to give us our own more physical version of what the Bengals have at WR or is there another defensive player worth drafting at 8 without being considered a reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieK Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 No to a WR in the 1st round. I'd rather get a Jalin Hyatt or Zay Flowers in the 2nd/3rd round. Gotta go defense with the 1st pick. papachaz, Jimsmusicâ„¢, Jdawgflow and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamb Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I'm all in for defense too. But, ain't gonna lie, I wouldn't hate the pick. Would be happy with eddiek's suggestion too.

I'm a firm believer in the Ravens style of drafting, that is, you address needs in FA, and take the best player available at your pick in the draft. If that's at a position which you currently already have depth at, so be it.

This is the only way of drafting that ever made sense to me.  The only time I’d deviate is if it’s a stacked position and someone of need is within the same grade/quality. TheRisen999 and JohnnyFranchise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood all the way! Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It all depends on how FA goes. If we knock it out of the park by addressing every level of the D with quality, then I could be on board with picking an offensive weapon, if there's no real OL worthy of our pick.

Waste of draft pick potentially could be heaven sent but I understand think the worst. TheRisen999 and Drunken Minotaur Zebra 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminafalcon Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Pff has him as  number 15 on their big board. There are several other players of position of need well in front him  on their big board between us and him.

I will definately use them as my reference from now on. There is like a 100% chance that either Murphy or Wilson will be there for us. PFF has them at #6 and #7. Seems like a no brainer BPA at highest position of need Diesel_Bird and Aluminafalcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very Jets/Browns/Texans/pick a bottom feeder team thing to do. QB controversy? Nobody is buying season tickets to watch Ridder they want to see a winnner. Great teams do what is in the best interest of the team instead of trying to cater to a players feelings. The 49rs have three viable options at QB and needed every single one of them, only bottom feeders teams avoid competition and getting the best players possible. Edited January 17 by insight Drunken Minotaur Zebra, kiwifalcon and Vandy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_The_Tank Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm not totally against it. Heck I remember wanting us to draft Mike Evans back in 2014 when we already had Julio, so I'm about as open as they come, but I think we need so much help in the trenches that it can't be ignored by passing in the first round. Like I said I wouldn't be against the pick, but even if we go the BPA route, there'll be enough DT/DE/OL talent at #8 to feel comfortable taking one of them instead of a WR. falconidae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetpac Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 This board confuses me sometimes. No to a QB in the first round that’s been like THEEEE big no no the past three years, but ok with a TE at 4 a WR at 5 and maybe another WR at 8? Make it make sense.
