Draft Need Priority
Posted on 12/7/25 at 6:53 pm

Your the GM, what are your priorities for next years draft as we close out the season?
1. IOL- not saying it should be first pick but I think it’s the biggest need.
2. WR- I like Olave as a 2, and Vele is coming on as a 3. We need a #1 WR
3. S - I like our young guys but we need a stud
4. RB - AK may be around another year and Neal is looking solid as a #2 back. We need AKs replacement.
5. DE - Jordan is going to retire at some point and Granderson is a dog, but we need a young guys opposite Chase.

they need someone on offense that scares people and has to be accounted for on every play desperately

Apologies accepted.

Shough’s scrambling ability will be deadly with a big bodied wr1 or game changing tight end

Seems dumb to take a safety with a top 10 pick, but I think Downs is probably the best player on the draft and a secondary of Downs, Sanker, Taylor, Howden, and Kool Aid would be a pretty filthy group.
But agree with your list. It’s a shame there isn’t a clear top WR in this draft because we really need a player maker out wide.

WR1- Olave is only a 2, but a true 1 would also allow Olave to show out even more as he wouldn’t be the only person opposing defenses need to game plan for
G- Fortner has been really good, starter quality at C. Move McCoy over to G and sign a G.
CB1- Koolaid & Riley are both doing good but neither are CB1.
DT- Shepherd & Godchaux aren’t it, Bresee needs help.
TE- Juwan, similar to Olave, is not a clutch playmaker.
LB- Davis is still good but slowing.
Werner is not improving.
Stutsman & Stallbird have flashed, may be the answer but we just haven’t seen it confirmed yet.
RB- Kamara currently is a 3rd down receiving back only, plus age/injuries.
Kendre looked poised to be RB1 but can’t stay healthy enough to be trusted.
Neal has been a pleasant surprise.
DE/Edge- Young & Granderson are a good duo, but need an explosive rookie.
S- Reid has been underwhelming.
Jonas Sanker appears to be the real deal & I’d like to see him starting next Julian Blackmon.

Yeh I think we need a stud on the interior of the DLine. Teams carve us up in the run game.
Posted on 12/7/25 at 8:43 pm to SFCSaint77
If I was coach./GM . Try to take down to where I know I can get a stud WR with 1st pick and get additional picks.
A guard or defensive end with second pick.
By 3rd and 4th picks, take best RB, TE , or DB available.
Later rounds take special teams guys ( a returner perhaps) that stand out and maybe grab another offensive lineman ( guard or center)
Last pick? See if there is viable college kicker or punter

Good write-up. I like neal but he looks like Mike Bell to me. With kamara about done we need to add and explosive RB

Draft the RB from Notre Dame and call it a day. No one else that I can say I actually like except Downs

Will he be around in the 3rd?

So you like Jeremiyah Love in the first round? Right now we have the 5th pick if we trade down the the teens maybe
Posted on 12/7/25 at 9:15 pm to SlowFlowPro
Demond Claiborne will probably be there in the 3rd .. not big but is explosive
Posted on 12/7/25 at 9:21 pm to Fanatics
No RB in the 1st
We don't want to have to pay a RB big money just as we are possibly going to be good.
In the path where we are good, Shough will be getting paid by that point too.

Agreed, I prefer a RB later to pair with Neal

Kind of a fun fact - the last running back drafted in the top 10 to win a Super Bowl with the team that drafted him is . . . our very own Reggie Bush twenty years ago.
Considering we are probably winning 2 more games and picking around 10-12 I’d be fine drafting Love. Team could use some real excitement and love looks pretty great.
