Another trade.


Recommended Posts

And Michel is quick at running between the tackles. 

 

Both Wynn and Michel can start immediately and will be around until after Brady/Gronk retire.

 

Also looks like BB was on he phone quickly realizing that McGlinchey made Brown expendable. 

 

Pats are nailing their draft so far, IMO.

Patriots made a somewhat unusual trade for them, they traded the 95th pick for the 49ers Trent Brown, OT.  With winn and this guy, seems like the Pats are upgrading their line.

Brown wasn't anything great to talk about though.

They want to squeeze whatever they can out of Brady's home stretch, I don't blame them a bit. 

 

From Matt Light to Logan Mankins to Sebastian Vollmer to Nate Solder, they have not been shy in investing round 1 and round 2 picks on the OL. Add the Wynn pick to that list. I also heard this could be Scarnecchia's last year, so there is that for the last hurrah for Scar.

at 355, seems to be more of a run blocker.  With Michel's more direct style, and Wynns background, it seem like they are looking to power run more often.

He's been one of the best pass blocking RTs the past couple of years. Von Miller claims he's the best RT in the game.

 

His issues are his huge size which hurts in the run game and his conditioning. He's been kind of inconsistent and last season ended in an injury.

Pats were rumored to be trying to trade up to take Ragnow in the 1st last night. They're definitely trying to beef up.

Maybe they see some value in what Jax is doing on offense.  NE does things opposite of the norm, so it could be they see the $125 million dollar QB being an albatross rather than a help.  They can't draft one and they ain't gonna pay one, so ground and pound.

 

I'll bet a chicken dinner they draft that QB from Princeton, Chad Kanoff, before its over.

no but hes a pretty good run blocker, i think they're hedging against a Brady decline, shifting to a more run focus just incase Brady does finally lose out to father time

So the 49ers are trading away the best RT in the NFL for a late 3rd pick?  That doesn't seem very logical.

 

He's not an ideal fit for ZBS that Shanahan loves to run, especially outside zone. Terrible fit, actually.

I get that, but trading supposedly the best RT in the NFL for a late 3rd round pick,  doesn't make sense.   I am doubting that he is what BBZ was  implying.

    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.  
    • Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
