There's some credence there, although very little. More than likely they see Kirk Cousins as a 2 year stop gap and next year's QB class as hot trash

Saw that but I call bullshit on that. No chance we would have given up the capital to do that. Not to mention QB is so far down the list of issues with our roster and John Schneider is not an idiot when it comes to building a list.

Imagine being worth $20 billion and getting triggered enough over this sign to stop and go into a restaurant looking to find out who put it up

Dude is a crackpot

You’ve guaranteed a 35yo QB coming off an Achilles $90m for the next two years and you use a high pick for a player who can’t help for two years. Fair enough you’re crazy about Penix but then why even sign Cousins in the first place?

 

[AJ_2000]

what about if he never plays at all? How great would that be?

Bizarre way to justify the pick

WTF, Tell me the owner of the restaurant doesnt look and sound like David Tepper's brother?

How good would it be for Penix to read that too.

Would be stoked. Drafted at 8 to a team that hopes he holds a clipboard for years.

2024 NFL Draft: 49ers Listening to Trade Offers, Vikings–Giants Proposals for No. 3 Pick​

San Francisco could move either Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk. Plus, what the Patriots turned down to select Drake Maye.

ALBERT BREER

The San Francisco 49ers are going to listen to offers for Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, but they’re not married to the idea of trading either of them. Selecting Florida receiver Ricky Pearsall, though, does give them a little more flexibility. At a baseline, taking Pearsall with the 31st pick is a play for 2025. The team has Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings going into contract years, with Samuel signed through ’26. One way or the other, all three won’t be around a year from now, so getting top-end talent in the pipeline now makes sense for a team that doesn’t have many immediate needs.
The 49ers did look at the idea of trading back five or 10 spots for Pearsall. But chose not to due to the tackle supply running thin, a number of receiver-needy teams right behind them (Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders could take one, too) and Xavier Worthy getting picked by the Kansas City Chiefs in front of them. Second, there was the benefit of getting the fifth-year option on Pearsall.
On the second point, you’d normally associate that concept with quarterbacks, but the events of the past week helped tip the scale here, with Amon-Ra St. Brown getting $28 million per year and A.J. Brown getting $32 million per, and Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase megadeals coming down the pike (eventually). Having the option helps the 49ers with Aiyuk (a late first-rounder in 2020), and lacking it hurts with Samuel (a high second-rounder in ’19), so there’s another reason for San Francisco to want it with Pearsall.
With Brock Purdy on his rookie contract, the Niners could easily keep everyone. But they could also move someone, and it could be Samuel, who might be more tradeable with the terms left on his contract, with a plan to keep Aiyuk, who’s viewed as the team’s best pure receiver. Either way, having Pearsall, who drew some comparisons to Adam Thielen with the team, gives San Francisco options. We will see how it works out over the next few hours/days

The Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants did make offers to the New England Patriots for the No. 3 pick to take Drake Maye. Earlier this week, Minnesota offered the Nos. 11 and 23 picks, and its 2025 first-rounder, with pick swaps favoring the Vikings as part of the proposal; and that offer ticked up with New England on the clock. The Giants, meanwhile, did wind up putting their 2025 first-round pick in their offer to move from No. 6 to No. 3. Ultimately, nothing came close to moving the Patriots off their choice. In fact, that Kevin O’Connell and Brian Daboll were the head coaches interested, only emboldened New England to stay put.
The Giants, of course, got a weapon for Daniel Jones, selecting star receiver Malik Nabers. The Vikings, meanwhile, were emboldened to draw a line in the sand on trade terms, and work within their boundaries by the alternate plan to wait for J.J. McCarthy—knowing that the Atlanta Falcons had a visit with McCarthy canceled, the Giants were Maye-specific at the position, and the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears and New York Jets wouldn’t take a quarterback—and use the trade-up assets to build around him. So they let the Michigan star come to them, flipping picks at ith the Jets just to be sure.


As for the quarterback who went after Maye with the eight pick, the Falcons did plenty of homework on Michael Penix Jr. A big group, led by GM Terry Fontenot, coach Raheem Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, flew from Atlanta to Seattle on the morning of April 6 to work Penix out privately, and to get to know him better.
Rumors thereafter percolated that the Falcons had fallen for Penix, who crushed the workout, and the McCarthy workout being called off solidified that they were a one-quarterback team like the Giants were with Maye.
Few figured the Falcons would actually take Penix at 8. Fewer knew just how much Atlanta liked him. He was the third quarterback on the Falcons’ board, behind only Chicago’s Caleb Williams and Daniels, and some in the organization actually had him second. And so with owner Arthur Blank said to be fond of the idea of having a succession plan at the position—something Atlanta lacked at the end with Matt Ryan—an idea became a reality.

Day 2 notes:

We mentioned Monday that Texas RB Jonathan Brooks could be in play for the Dallas Cowboys in the second round. Well, Jerry Jones said as much Thursday. Which means, if a teams wants him, it might want to take him ahead of Dallas, which picks at 56 tonight.

How the tackles come off the board will be interesting, with New England (No. 34) and Washington (Nos. 36 and 40) having a big need, and Houston’s Patrick Paul, BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia and Washington’s Roger Rosengarten available, too.

Not taking the best defensive player when that is what they needed was the huge surprise imo

Keon Coleman makes perfect sense for Bills and Pats, they need a bigger body WR.

I think Fontenot might be the first ever GM to make 4 top-8 picks in a row. Usually if your team is bad enough to earn pick 4, and then pick 8 three times the GM gets fired...

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

After getting Legette right yesterday, expecting the Panthers to draft Marshawn Kneeland if hes available at 39. Not someone id take but thats what Im expecting. Id rather one of : Powers Johnson, Frazier, DeJean, Kool Aid or Edgerrin Cooper

Could explain why he took a QB "You cant fire me Arthur, I took a QB, you need to let me see this out"

Half these guys could be gone in the first 10 picks today and it wouldn't be a big surprise
