00:00 Lot of people thought the Niners were gonna take an offensive tackle with 31st pick in round one or maybe even trade up
00:05 I'm starting to think they're not gonna do that now that they've extended Colton Kivitz's contract through 2025
00:12 What position do you think the Niners will draft in round one this year assuming they don't trade out?
00:17 Yeah, I don't think they'll trade out but I do see a little bit of a trade up
00:21 Maybe they go a few spots to get with the Buffalo Bills or something like that
00:25 I try to look at teams like who like in the past or maybe they have a relationship
00:29 So that'd be down with maybe like something like that. Like nothing crazy. That would make them get that
00:33 Give up too much of a surplus of for what they had the cash because they need to really supply their
00:38 Their team with some nice young young players. So look it's the cop-out answer
00:43 I think it's going offensive line. Like look the more we talked about this last little segment this last topic
00:48 It's like I'm even more confident that not off its hat the offensive tackle
00:52 But now it's like I've been seeing Daniel Jeremiah talk about he keeps attaching the Niners to that Duke that Duke prospect that center guard
00:58 you know Graham Barton and I'm like
01:01 Maybe that's the guy, you know, I think that's where they try to look
01:04 I think they really want to beef up their interior offensive line
01:07 finally with one of those and look you can kind of
01:09 Explain it like at the end of the round one for a nice like pretty nice
01:13 Polish Center like that makes sense, right? Like after after tackle your most valuable position offensive line is Center
01:20 So maybe he wants someone there to be a shirt up guy who can go left and go right and help seal block other sides
01:25 Or swing and make the right protections. So yeah, I think if we're going offensive line interior specifically Center
01:30 Or they could draft a guard - I'm looking at the Saints. They had drew breeze. They drafted Cesar Ruiz a few years ago
01:38 He's their right guard. They drafted him in round one with the 24th pick
01:41 So the Niners what they could do is take an interior offensive lineman put him at guard
01:45 Moving to center whatever they got to do it someone who could do both
01:48 Pardon was to say the guy's name again
01:53 Graham Bart, yes, I think it's a two-part last name. It's I forget his first name, but he's Graham Barton basically out of Duke
01:59 He's like really propped up by Daniel Jeremiah and he's like in the top five everything for interior. I'm like, okay cool attitude
02:06 I'm just spitballing that one as of now because he's really projected to be end of round early for around to
02:11 interesting call considering
02:14 Lake and Tomlinson went to Duke and the Niners traded for him
02:18 Really like those high like I kind of like Ivy League teams, but like, you know, like those really like astute for sure colleges
02:23 So that would be a great pick. It's not gonna happen Jose
02:26 So we are gonna be great it's not gonna happen D line I
02:31 Wouldn't shock me at all. Yeah
02:34 Man, you know if they hit it'll be a good pick. They need one
02:37 I'm thinking
02:41 The Chiefs two years ago with the 30th pick
02:44 They got George Carl Optus if the Niners could get their George Carl Optus with the 31st pick
02:48 That'd be a great pick and they're set up. I mean, I don't think they want to they're spending so much money on Nick
02:53 Bosa, they can't really afford or justify getting another starter a free agency
02:57 So you get a guy on a rookie deal chase young technically was on his rookie deal when they traded for him. I
03:02 Would be willing I would actually put money down at the Niners old drafted defensive end in the first round
03:08 Wouldn't be a bad bet
03:13 It's a little bit harder
03:14 especially because the Niners haven't had like a real first round pick the last two years and even three years ago when they got
03:19 Trey Lance like that's kind of like come on. We all knew they're going for quarterback
03:21 So but yeah, you would definitely if you want to go that way. I have no problem with that
03:25 They only went offensive line once with McGlinchey. I was when there it's like what top ten top twelve. Yeah
03:30 It's a visible. I make sense. It is a need
03:33 It's there they need to finally get the the Robin to Nick Bosa's Batman finally cuz look Jake Jackson was a bluff
03:39 He was a whiff. Yeah, you know, they could Randy Gregory. You know, he's fine, but he's a role player chase young
03:44 He's just a guy
03:46 They they need to find that guy
03:47 They haven't had that haven't had that d4 opposite of Nick Bosa since 2019 and you get that then it's gonna really unlock a lot
03:54 Of things to your pass rush. Yeah, sure. I mean, it's great to have great players. I'm just saying
03:58 like Drake Jackson, for example, is
04:01 He worse than Colton McKibbitz or do the Niners just have higher standards on their D line like Drake Jackson's done some good things
04:09 For the Niners. I mean he's basically a liability
04:12 It's he's basically a liability
04:15 But so is McKibbitz and the Niners are willing to work around McKibbitz, but not willing to work work around Drake Jackson like why?
04:21 Why why do they have to have premium talent at all for DNC at all for D line spots?
04:27 But not but only a one offense alone. I'll never get that. I don't get
04:31 So Drake Jackson is the Colton McKibbitz of the defensive line. Yeah for sure
04:37 That's not starting capability. Like yeah, he's five or a good few snaps. No, but
04:42 That's a damn good to me because again
04:45 I think the Niners look at it is like their D line is gonna win them the game
04:48 Or the offensive line their job is to not lose it. It's a whole different idea mentality. I
04:52 Think Scott I think that's also like goes back to what we always refer to every now and again a caution as arrogance that he
04:59 Could just maybe just do a quick game type of offense or run it and mitigate those
05:03 Deficiencies where he really wants his defensive line to go out there when it look he's already been on record like he loves to
05:09 Build in the trenches, but he likes to go to pass rush first
05:12 Um, I know I mean he might have been mentioning defense specifically, but I'm pretty sure he meant that team wise, right?
05:18 Um, I mean shoot just look at how he keeps how they keep trying to build in the defense
05:22 How you keep trying to like resemble like those old Seattle defenses and such like build in the trenches
05:26 Make sure you're stockpiled and good, you know
05:28 You can't have to there's no such thing as too many bullets on the counter for you to keep firing with your gun
05:32 And that's how that's how he's viewing with this pass rush like to keep being effective with it
05:36 But yeah, like it's just funny too because when I did look at those mock drafts from Dan Jeremiah just other ranking
05:41 It's like there is like a nice run on consensus on defensive lineman from 25 to the early round - I'm like, okay
05:47 Dang, so even before you when you mentioned this topic, I looked at it again. I'm like, oh damn
05:52 Cuz I got a feeling you're gonna say defensive line
05:56 Harden I just do go defensive line and if it's a good player, you know, I don't think anyone would
06:01 Be distraught or up in arms over it
06:04 I'd rather not a lot of guy between a more polished defensive lineman versus like a more like raw like offensive lineman guy who you
06:10 Kind of reach for I write a defensive lineman
06:12 I guess what annoys me a little bit about this extension from a kibitz nothing about my kibitz. It's just it
06:17 It's the Niners really doubling down and not changing
06:21 Yes, when they come up short people always like a kill. They're gonna they're gonna tweak something this year
06:26 They're gonna look in the mirror. They're gonna be honest with themselves
06:28 They're gonna make one change and that'll be what propels them to the Lombardi trophy, but they don't they always act like they have
06:35 the Super Bowl winning formula and when they fall short, it's because
06:41 you know bad luck or this or that and all they got to do is just stick to the plan and
06:46 They'll get there like the woe is me. Fine set. Woe is me
06:50 Yeah
06:51 The Chiefs change up more about their formula than you guys do and they've won Super Bowls in different ways
06:56 You guys are the same team every year cheapo lines expensive D line
07:00 I mean, you know, it's gonna be and you don't you don't switch it up
07:03 Even though the offensive line was directly responsible for the team losing the Super Bowl directly responsible for it. How could he could?
07:11 Dispute that if he wants he seems really him intent on blaming defense this year. It was their fault
07:19 No, we think about it though
07:21 If you do restock with the your offensive line with a lot of draft picks
07:25 I you didn't trust your starting lineup at offensive line with that many rookies like I'm sure one but you're gonna go to
07:31 Dare I say three that's impossible. Like I don't I don't see Kyle ever doing that more beyond one
07:36 That's that's gonna be tough to envision and again from where you know, how's cap strapped the are free agency?
07:42 I'm sure they're gonna restructure a handful of contracts probably get like 15 20 million free, but it's like maybe you sign someone but it's like
07:49 What are you really gonna do?
07:50 This kind of really stems from what you failed to do in years prior
07:52 It turns out getting these guys and your misses on players like Spencer Burr for Jalen Moore and stuff like that
07:58 Like these guys are literally just no better than
08:00 emergency role players
08:01 emergency fill-in for a game or two
08:03 It's true and it's like to me
08:07 Colton McKivitt's would be not starting or
08:11 Most times in the playoffs. Yeah, no not starting but on the Niners
08:17 He is and they're trying to work around it and the rest of team is so good. It could work
08:20 You
