Clippers meeting with Durant was “intense” and “at one point Steve Ballmer was crying” but everyone grew closer and a big lesson was learned

Asked about the #49ers history of whiffing on running back picks in the middle rounds and then taking another tonight, coach Kyle Shanahan said he doesn't think about the past when approaching the draft. Obviously, the history isn't good and fair to wonder if Kaelon Black's arrival could mean another departure for a different RB drafted in the middle rounds: Isaac Guerendo.

John Lynch discussed drafting RB Kaelon Black instead of an offensive lineman: “The film speaks for itself….we really feel like he can help us in a big way.” Via: @VicTafur




I know it's a wild concept and that many just want to use the draft as an outlet for their anger, but maybe we can actually wait to see how these 49ers' draftees perform in the NFL before grading them. The truth is that you don't know how things will break for these players

RB Kaelon Black on various NFL Draft Big Boards: Consensus: 197 Dane Bruglar: 179 PFF: 187 Bleacher Report: 210 The #49ers selected him at 90.


49ers took a WR with good hands (1 drop) who runs a 4.36 40 at 6-2 with the muscle and desire to block. Those are metrics that matter, as does positional WR value and obvious SF need — not where De'Zhaun Stribling went in random mock drafts. It's why I warn you to stop worshiping mock drafts 🤣


Stribling going at number 33 and not in the first round is somewhat funny to me. That’s all I got lol

The #Cardinals are taking Texas A&M G Chase Bisontis at No. 34, landing a Round 1 talent and a plug-and-play starter. Bisontis brings three years of starting experience and has anchored LG the past two seasons, allowing just one sack.

At No. 33, with the first pick in the second round, the 49ers selected Mississippi WR De’Zhaun Stribling.

Steve Kerr reportedly wanted to develop Jonathan Kuminga into a Shawn Marion/Aaron Gordon type, but Kuminga viewed himself as a future All-Star and wanted more on-ball opportunities, per @anthonyVslater “Kuminga's career developed, Kuminga believed he'd shown enough in supplementary roles to have earned more consistent trust and on-ball opportunity. Neither happened to his liking, sources said, only hardening his belief that Kerr and general manager Mike Dunleavy would only ever view him as a run-fast, jump-high athlete without the requisite skill to be a lead option.” (Via espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)
