Yes please. Let all the OT's go before the Vikings pick. They're basically the last destination we can pawn Trent Williams off to at this point. Although I still don't know what the Chargers are going to do at tackle.

I thought the quote they gave after he was selected was interesting. Some coach/gm saying I wish people would stop mentioning his name in mock drafts, we want people to stay away from him. Could be a sleeper, although I know most Ravens fans were happy Queen was still there 1 pick later.

Post draft interview with the 49ers bromance:
I'm optimistic as can be about Kinlaw, he has the size and talent ceiling to replace Buckner, but at < 1/5th the salary commitment. From the point where the season ended, and they had too many d-linemen needing to get paid, to now, I think they came out as well as possible, realistically.
Aiyuk I have no damn clue. He seems to fit the Shanahan offense and Shanahan is speaking very highly of him, but WR always feels like a crapshoot...even more so than the rest of the draft. Deebo Samuel was a home run, Hurd hasn't played, and Pettis has been completely worthless.

I was a little worried about the Kinlaw pick since we need WR help so badly, until I saw the moves to grab Aiyuk. WR is a total crapshoot, like you said, but I'm much more receptive to the Kinlaw pick now.
So far, I feel a lot better about this team's future as opposed to coming off the SB loss in '12. It's amazing how much it helps your team when you have a GM and HC that actually get along.

Well Chris Simms thought it was a good pick, so you're in the clear dude.

Why would Seattle draft a back up QB in the first round? Same for Tennessee after just signing a big contract.

Yeah. Giving up a 4th to move over a bunch of teams that likely wouldn't have taken him, unless they thought someone else was going to trade up. Not that I mind personally since my dudes get another 4th rounder but it was weird. Also, they were so close to the Superbowl last year so it seems strange to use 2 picks to get a QB instead of a receiver or some defensive help.

Or like any player that they had rated highly that could contribute immediately
