@KlayForTrey Great role players, one offensive and one defensive star, one superstar.

@Giants__Update The only place Devers is going deep is the buffet table.
English
Calling it now: I think Rafael Devers goes deep twice in this Phillies series and has a big road trip to snap out of his funk.
Has to happen at some point. Why not now?

Ankle socks, arm sleeves, two sliding mitts, and two different color cleats. What the fuck is wrong with this generation

@LombardiHimself Old, young, it doesn't matter when the picks will suck anyway.

Good time for some to realize that 49ers drafted older, experienced players intentionally so that they could get their prime deals at a rookie contract price tag.
This was considered a relatively weak draft. The one obvious edge to gain came via NIL/transfer portal revolution
David Lombardi@LombardiHimself
Higher age used to be considered a draft defect, but the 49ers are leaning heavily into the changing nature of college football. Their 3 picks taken before the "developmental" Saturday of the draft average 24.3 years in age. That's the same age or older than 12 players who'd already been on SF's roster. De'Zhaun Stribling — 23.35 Romello Height — 25.03 Kaelon Black — 24.52 The NIL/transfer portal era has created a pro-like dynamic in CFB that's yielded nuggets that would've been unimaginable just last decade: -Stribling led *3 different programs* in receiving -Height played at *5 different schools* Generally, teams want early contributions from Day 1-2 draft picks. Seems that the 49ers are betting on the pre-existing professional experience and maturity of these older prospects with plans that they'll be relatively quick contributors. NFL drafted rookie contract lasts 4 years. That means the 49ers will get the following ages at a cost-controlled price... Stribling: 23-27 Height: 25-29 Black: 24-28 Those are prime years, of course. And perhaps the new, pro-like nature of CFB has indeed combined with Father Time to harden those players for relatively early NFL action

@yvieul What the fuck does any of this even mean? Asian American girls are such trash nowadays, glad all the white men have to put up with them now.

@ImNotHuman123 Just an awful signing by Buster, everyone knew it at the time too. Pressured by the Doyers success he felt like he had to. I mean he didn't even remember how he won 3 WS. Draft your core guys, have great pitching and good defense, sign marginal FA's that put you over the top.

Adames is a 107 wRC+ bat over his last 2750 PA. He’s regressed significantly as a defender. The Giants owe him 5/$155MM after this season.
The brutal truth is that the aging curve for his profile can get real ugly as soon as a year or two. It was always going to go this way.
t@yastrzemskiszn
deadass what does adames do? like are we just cool with him being absolutely pathetic 50% of each season?

Greg Cosell: "It doesn't matter to me what mock drafts say. They don't know what teams' draft boards look like. So in my world, I think mock drafts are totally irrelevant."
Objective analysts don't waste their time with subjective outsider 'consensus'

“I spoke to a coach NOT with the 49ers… he had Stribling rated AHEAD of Makai Lemon.”
@GregCosell with an interesting note about the 49ers’ first draft pick:
English
@richjmadrid_ He's a good coach but AWFUL drafter, that's the problem.
English
If Kyle Shanahan had 25% less football IQ, they’d be a 8-9 team every year and would’ve been fired by now. I don’t care if other offensive coaches held some of these picks higher than private analysts, that doesn’t validate the pick at 33. Then why didn’t anyone else take him?
🫵👍@AndyKHLiu
The Stribling pick isn’t the problem. The problem is how they waste every single early pick the last half decade on obvious reaches. If you like em, fine. Your scouting sucks. It’s even worse cuz you can just trade back and get more picks (albeit to waste) on more bad players. They lucky Kyle is so damn good and they still have great older guys on team.

Ravens are signing former Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia to a three-year deal, per source. Pavia was supposed to try out this weekend, but the Ravens signed him in advance.

Have we reached the point where we’ve given up on Ricky Pearsall? I mean, the guy is talented, but talent doesn’t matter if you can’t stay healthy.
I think 2026 is make or break for Ricky. He either makes a significant contribution this year, or his time here is probably up.
English
@LombardiHimself Funny how you say top 2 rounds when 3 rounds would also get you Jalen Hurd and Danny Gray.

Every single WR that Shanahan/49ers have drafted in the top-2 rounds since the failed Dante Pettis experiment (which convinced them to put a higher value on physicality) has produced when healthy.
Deebo Samuel
Brandon Aiyuk
Ricky Pearsall
3-3. And De'Zhaun Stribling is certainly again of the physical mold

@Chase_Senior Roseman can teach Lynch a thing or two about drafting but nothing and no one can veto Shanalynch on drafting busts.

The San Francisco 49ers should hire Alec Halaby if he wants to continue his career in the NFL. He's been Howie Roseman's protege and has been helpful leading the charge with their analytics department.
Here's his resume in 17 years with the Eagles:
- Intern
- Player personnel analyst
- Special assistant to the general manager
- Vice president of football operations and strategy
- Assistant general manager

Another big loss for the Philadelphia Eagles front office. Assistant GM, Alec Halaby is stepping away from the organization. He was with the Eagles for 17 years and served as assistant GM under Howie Roseman since 2022. Here's Howie Roseman's statement: "Alec has been a huge part of our success, and a close friend. Although I am sad to see him leave the organization, I am excited to see what he does next. Whatever direction he decides to go, I have no doubt he is going to have great success. On behalf of the entire organization, I wish him the absolute best." #Eagles

From Mission High School to the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks, Julian Neal is the first SFUSD high school student drafted in decades. Selected in the 3rd round as the 99th pick, he’ll be representing Hunters Point and all of SF on the national stage. Let’s go, @J12_neal!

You have got to be kidding me.
The State Department is putting Donald Trump’s scowling face on the U.S. passport.
His signature in gold. Superimposed over the Declaration of Independence, a document literally written to get away from this exact behavior.
No sitting president has ever done this. Coins, park passes, battleships, and now your passport. The man cannot find a surface he will not slap his name or face on.
This is not patriotism.
It is vanity.
