49ers Have 12 Major Offseason Needs — Here’s How We’d Fix Every One

25 comments

1. They need to get the substation moved now. They need to get ahead of it and put out some press releases saying they’re having it moved now bc of every reason, but especially for your players and free agency, too. It’s unnecessary to have it even being a conversation.

2. Time to move the training facility

3. Back to Stockton!

4. Sick of excuses. Every damn year. SHANAHAN is the problem. Jed Dork too. Welcome to the dark ages of the 49ers. Saleh was a gift, but now he's gone. Hope Saleh beats the pants off of Shanny when they meet. My guess is that he will. 💪

5. NO MORE "inhouse" hires!! Have we learned nothing? And boot Shanny the hell out of here. Rams and Seahawks now OWN us thanks to Shanny. Sinking this ship of ours deeper than the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Enough is enough. Sick and tired of mediocracy being the new 49er standard.

6. Kyle doesn’t look at combination duos . Kyle Pitts and tongus would be great . It should have been cmc and Robinson . Kyle doesn’t do that

7. Seahawks, Rams, eagles, with the injuries that we had this year, would not have even made the playoffs.

8. 49ers need to blow it up and get bad. They are not good enough to win, not bad enough to re build. Meanwhile New England has already re build into another anual contender. 49ers suck and they really only had about 4 quality wins all year. Lynch needs to go.

9. More Chapman ,Less Grant ;.Krueger & Chapman is a great Pairing.

10. Sometimes you have to take a break

11. I watch almost every Krueger video but I’ll never watch anything with Chase

12. It’s been a decade with GM John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. It’s been 31 years since the last Super Bowl win. I believe it’s time to move away from the GM and the Head Coach. They need to be fired. Kyle always chocks in the big games. Every year it’s the same old song. Fix the OL problems already and the DL. Please go get younger players that improve the team. It’s time to pull the trigger and get better protection for Brock Purdy. Get a new Stadium it doesn’t seem to work for the team and the injuries that’s been happening. Next, work on getting faster players in the wideout position. Focus on getting younger players that can be mentored by the seasoned players. Play the rookies so they learn, develop and improve in the system for the future. It’s time to get a Super Bowl the fans like myself deserve it.

13. You guys are my two favorites when it comes to off season draft analysis. Love your work, boys!

14. I know quite a bit about EMF and the substation is 100% affecting the players. Move the facility ASAP

15. Why wouldn’t you call for Lynch’s ouster given the horrible drafting? Is that not the most important part of his job? He has failed at that, horribly. Need to fire him and get someone who is a true GM and not subservient to Kyle

16. Great America is closing. That's a huge space. They can buy a lot for an indoor facility

17. People that think Kyle and John are great really dont have a clue…and I will be there to say how stupid the supporters are. I laugh now because 2 years ago all these Kyle and John white Knights are now gone.

18. So lemme get this straight. The raiders wouldn’t trade Thornton because he’s a 2nd year guy at a position of need… but the Niners will trade away Pearsal when he’s 2nd year guy at a position of need. Never seen someone so pompous and wrong before. Intellectual consistency is hard

19. Our young guys got a lot of experience and playoff experience and getting blown the heck out experience all quality experience. Collins and west and (mykel who didn't get all that experience) which is ok more for him i think will all benefit from having nick and better linbacking on the field. Renardo i think is unfortunate if he doesn't work out i mean gets traded because there isn't a bunch of really good corner play going on in the league coming from pacman jones so whatever crap with him an kyle must be bad if he is intent on ridding him from our team… another wasted draft pick that would only be wasted if we don't get any k8nd of net positive by dealing him. Feels like a fairly big gamble to me. Pearsall would be great to have in a better rounded out reciever room. And maybe watkins and cowing become something also. I really want cowing to succeed for some reason im invested in cowing to a degree.

20. lol roster windows are 100% real. No one is suggesting that the players don’t play hard during certain years, it’s about roster construction and management decision. Lately all this channel does is fight strawmen.

21. John is absolutely right….Linderbaum is the greatest scheme fit in the history of scheme fits….Having said that if you don't want to pay 19 million for him then go draft his replacement at Iowa Logan Jones…Little less good of an athlete, little bit stronger than Linderbaum. Maybe you go get him with that 2nd round mac jones pick. Iowa has two guys-Jones and Dunker who will be your starter at their position on the line for the next 10 years. You fix your oline from one school in one draft.

22. Kreug, it really is not difficult. Right now the Niners are set at starters with the exception of WR#1. Thank you Aiyuk. Half the defense were rookies. So what should the Niners do with their draft picks? Upgrade and build depth. You draft players that will either provide depth and/or start. Depth can be created two ways. Either the draftee proves to be better and becomes the starter or slides in as better backup than what the Niners have now. Example – let's say that the Niners draft Ioane at guard. Does he beat out Bartch pushing him to the bench or does he slide in as the primary backup at guard. We can debate either, but that can be settled on the field.

    Jennings is another curve ball. He is really a WR#3. I agree with you that he is only worth $15 mil. We let Banks and Moore walk last year and it hurt the team depth. Nevertheless, I did not see great play by them that justified their pay. I do not care if Buford leaves if some team wants to overpay him. Most likely the Niners will draft a guard. Same goes for most of the Niners' free agents. They need to make room for seven draft picks. Teams like the Rams and Seahawks will be losing quality players as well.

    That brings us to the draft. Just think where the Niners would be if they did not make that ill-fated trade for Trey Lance. That is three first round draft picks gone from the equation that would be in their prime. That could have been the difference between the Niners and Seahawks. Just ask the Clippers how they like handing over their first round picks for a guy that is gone. Regardless, it's in the past and the Niners are jut now recovering. I am glad the Niners did not mortgage the future again by over paying for a star this past season. Fortunately, the Niners have this year's first pick.

    What the Niners are looking for are a WR#1, OT, OG and shoring up depth at Edge, Safety, and TE. WR, Edge, OTs, and QBs tend to flood the first round so it will be tough to land a WR#1. Some do slide like Burden last draft to the Bears and of course Puka to the Rams in the fifth round the draft before. Despite the need for a WR#1, the Niners are now in the position to take best player available. If a guy like Warren who did slide past the Niners last year when the Niners drafted Williams for need, the Niners could take Warren this draft. So if you find a stud sliding at any position, you draft him. But the player needs to head and shoulders better than others around him. Heck, if Mendoza falls to the Niners (not happening), you draft him even though you have Purdy. That is a good position to be in. If no one falls, then I see group A as WR, OT, OG and group B as Edge, TE, Safety. A lot will depend on how the draft plays out. Did the guy you want get taken two picks ahead of your pick? Also, I can see the Niners trading back if nothing excites them at that point in the draft.

    Then there is the Mac Jones dilemma. Jones is gone after this season. This is a poor QB draft. As a QB needy team do you trade a second or third for a former first round QB or do you let this next year suffer and wait for the '27 draft that is stronger in QBs? Is Rourke ready to step in as QB #2? Only the Niners coaches know. If he is, trade for a WR#1 packaging Jones, maybe Aiyuk, and the Niners first pick? Will be interesting to see how Lynch and Shanahan play their cards this draft and work the free agency market.

    As for DC, that is a tough one. He has to fit the culture, have a good rappore with the players, and have the knowledge base. Is Gus the guy? Only the team knows. Plenty of good options, but we want one that will work out. Do not need another Wilks. Then there is the power station. Non issue. Just test the EMFs and find out. Cell towers have all kinds of warning signs around them. Just get the tests done. Then you know if the levels are significant. If they are then build a wall around the power station or put up EMF mesh on the fencing. It is not complicated. If the Niners need someone to head up the research I will volunteer.

23. Wilks might have made the pass coverage good but we were horrible at defending the outside run and his play calling was incompetent in critical moments.

24. Problem is John and Kyle dont draft big strong athletes in the secondary they like small short dudes smfh…

25. If the power plant isn't the issue they gotta change something up to prevent injuries i heard in the beginning of the year kyle doesn't stretch his team as much as other coaches or stay out at practice as long as other coaches that can take a factor but still they got to change something up
