Official NFL Draft Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) NFL Draft

[Joemailman]

I heard quite a few draft “experts” say before the draft that day 3 was projected to have the fewest prospects of any draft in recent memory. Their theory was to trade up for 1st and 2nd round picks or use late picks to move up for early 3rd round picks. With almost no good RB, LB, S, and TE prospects, this draft was top heavy with OT, CB, and WRs. Aside from OTs, those didn’t fit our needs.

We apparently got one of the best LB, S, and RBs in this draft class. We filled out the end of the draft with special teamers and practice squad guys. I think that’s pretty good for a draft light on talent.

Up to us to coach them up.

Go back to the Rasul Douglas trade. Gute was willing to throw in a 5th round pick to get the 3rd round pick. That suggested to me that Gute sensed the value wouldn't be very good by the time you got to the 5th round.

I wouldn't have made that trade. Rasul was a really good player, and we probably didn't replace him even with all these picks this year.

Would he have been the difference in the niners loss?

Would he (Rasul) have been the difference in the niners loss?

Hard to say, but I doubt it. Though they played them pretty close, so who knows.

I think they lost that game because Brock Purdy caught fire in the 4th.

Would he have been the difference in the niners loss?

If he were playing safety as I begged for in the spring, he very well might have. Savage blew 2 tackles that lead to long TDs. One on CM3 and another on Kittles.
