@chuck_UFC @49ers @NetApp They've been one of the best teams in the league for the last 10 years. What am I missing? All Pro's drafted across the board. Every team has draft misses, give me a break.

@49erCarlos In a couple of years, even if they all end up being busts, he will just say ‘that’s how it works out some times’.
English

@NFLFrascella Oh no problem, I’m just curious how this will turn out, particularly since so many people feel so strongly about their draft one way or the other.
English

@splodem I didn't really give my opinion of the 49ers draft here, more just showing the options so people could make their own decisions
English

The Draft John Lynch COULD have had:
- Pick 33: WR De’Zhaun Stribling

… thoughts?
Grant Cohn@grantcohn
I asked John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan why they reach so much in the Draft every year.
English

@MikeFinn49 Yes, I know they all make bad picks. Most don’t work out. And once again, feel free to address the last 5 years of awful drafting at any point that I‘ve specifically pointed to and you’ve ignored. It’ll become an issue once those legends start breaking down pretty soon.
English

@splodem You're free to look at the average hit rate for all teams in the NFL and see that the niners aren't the only team that make bad picks.
This disingenuous idea only the Niners draft poorly is fans in their feelings.
Please tell me how many starters on today's team were drafted?
English

If fans stop obsessing over draft boards and realize the team uses other factors to determine where they fall on their own private big board then they wouldn't rage and pretend the team is clueless.
Dontay Atkinson@DonAtkinsonNFL
Nobody is paying a lot of attention due to personal angst and draft board rage, but the 49ers got alot better on the D-line since last weekend. Height and Halton now joining Bosa, Williams, Osa, Collins, West, White and Sam-O.
English

@MikeFinn49 Yes, we all know they hit home runs with those guys. You’re free to look at the past 5 years of drafts that I was referring to at any point.
English

Smh look at all 22 starters and look at how many were drafted. That's the point.
Busts happen on every team every year. If you can't do all the things it's required of you to play on this team it doesn't matter what your overall grade is on some idiot from ESPN big board.
Most fans do mock drafts and react this way because they were wrong.
Niners drafted
Warner
Kittle
Bosa
Hall of Fame players
How many teams have 3 future hall of famers on their rosters today. I'll wait.
Big picture niners do well enough to always be in contention unless injury derails them.
English

@OurSf49ers If this draft is a fail, it should be the exit ticket for John Lynch
English

#49ers GM John Lynch on his first pick De'Zhaun Stribling:
“The highest standard as a 49er in our draft process is called a gold helmet... and De'Zhaun was one.”
English

@ag__fox__1971 @MikeFinn49 Why does anyone need to be an expert to see that over the last 5 years their day 1 and 2 picks have been terrible? I need some type of degree for that?
English

@MikeFinn49 All these experts need to grow a pair and get a job with an NFL team. If they are so brilliant get off of X and go chase their dream.....
English

@trevb7 @Mark_T_Willard So an extremely lucky pick at the very end of the draft excuses the rest of their poor drafting over the past half decade? Look at those draft classes. How can anyone say they’ve been good in the draft in that time frame?
English

@OurSf49ers A deep threat? Based on what? His tape sure doesn’t show much of that.
English

RGIII was over the moon about the #49ers drafting WR De'Zhaun Stribling and believes he will be a deep threat to stretch the field for Brock Purdy 👀
Thoughts ⬇️

English

De’Zhaun Stribling at 33?!? @DonteWhitner doesn’t like it. Patrick Willis does.
@PatrickWillis52 says the San Francisco 49ers have a real plan for him. 👀
English

@jgrover1533 Ok. Grade the 2022 and 2023 49ers drafts then.
English

If you’re grading the 2026 draft tonight you’re truly not serious.
You truly can’t grade a draft for 2-3 years.

English

@Sixth_Castle @Jack_assPenguin @Mark_T_Willard I mean the draft results for the past 5 years are available for all to see. Pretty clear they blew it with the vast majority of their picks.
English

@StUofA @inondehfsusld You’re free to look at their last 5 drafts and see for yourself. It‘s not a case of me thinking the players stink, where others will say they are good. They have hardly anyone that contributes from those drafts.
English

@jgrover1533 Their past half decade of drafts have been awful. Anyone can go look at this. Nobody is going to look at them and say they’ve done good job.
English

Grant Cohn and parts of our fan base are so fuckin retarded.
Love John and Kyle’s answer, fuck these dweebs that think draft media and podcasters know more than the actual teams doing this shit for a living.
This whole reach shit you see on Twitter and tv is stupid AF
Polymarket Football@PolymarketBlitz
We need more reporters like this. Shanahan & Lynch were asked why they constantly reach on players in the draft. They took WR15 De’Zhaun Stribling with the first pick in the second round. And with only two RB’s gone they selected RB11 Kaleon Black.
English

@HiredG31045 @Chase_Senior They haven’t been proven wrong for 5 years, since the last 5 drafts have been dog shit.
English

@Chase_Senior Solid B. Maybe B+. These people married to the consensus on social media will be proven wrong. Again.
English

Here is the San Francisco 2026 NFL Draft class.
How would you grade it? A, B, C, D or F
