National media gives a ton of love to Lynch and Rat Jr, but there needs to be some balanced criticism, recognizing a huuuuuuge shortcoming of theirs.
2017 was a complete epic disaster for Lynch. He sat there with his supposed QB whisperer head coach, looked at the QBs in that draft, and said, "I'll pass." In my opinion, that is JUST as bad as taking a busted QB with a high pick, which he conveniently has also done. And it turns out even after his little trade down with the Bears, he STILL had the opportunity to take two elite starters (until one of them, well... you know...) and didn't recognize greatness when it stared up at him, even though he had nobody at the position he was married to. Janeane wasn't even a 49er yet at the time. With that team and Mahomes? Does anybody think they wouldn't have won the last 4 Super Bowls? Or at least 3 of the last 4? Instead they've got one appearance, some wasted draft picks on a presumable bust, and now they're trying to marry themselves to an impressive yet small and brittle Brock Purdy. They got sooooo much love for their 2017 draft. They were "smart" for not taking a QB. Solomon Thomas was what smart GMs do. The other teams who trade up for QBs are always reaching, and they just don't get it! Well, the results are in, and that was 100% incorrect. And nobody ever talks about it. It's only ever, "look at that blue chip pass rusher he got with a top 5 pick! What a stud GM!" |

To show you how much things change quickly, Solomon Thomas went 3rd what 6 years ago?
Gervon Dexter is almost the same prospect and he's a round 2 guy. |

Also, it's funny how two supposed Andy Reid puppets are the top two GMs in the league. Wonder how that happened?

Let's do a head count here. The last 3 drafts outside of this year.
2022 Trent McDuffie George Karlaftis Skyy Moore Bryan Cook Leo Chenal Josh Williams Darian Kinnard Jaylen Watson Isiah Pacheco Nazeeh Johnson 2021 Nick Bolton Creed Humphrey Josh Kaindoh Noah Gray Cornell Powell Trey Smith 2020 CEH Willie Gay Lucas Niang L'Jarius Sneed Mike Danna Thakarius Keyes I would consider all of the bold as draft hits, which ranges from a possible blue chip player to a solid starter on a cheap rookie contract. Not sure many teams compared to this. Maybe Philly or Dallas? |

Yeah, he can build a SB roster, but if he can't draft WR talent, I don't think he's a good fit as GM for us.

The talent is there, we need to play clean football. Penalties, drops, and turnovers have been AIDS the first two weeks.
