00:00 About two weeks into free agency
00:02 and the draft is coming up and
00:04 The Niners better not be done. They got a lot more to do. Let's talk about what they still
00:10 Need to do I could go first. You could go first how you want to do it
00:14 No, you're better than me at this you go first. Okay
00:17 I know they read they extended Colton McKivitt's god love him and yesterday they signed
00:23 Brandon Parker who also plays offensive tackle, although he's only played five games in the last two years and
00:29 But at least they've addressed the position. They got to keep going. I
00:33 Think they wanted to be in a position where they didn't have to take an offensive tackle, but they still should
00:40 And here's why
00:42 It's one thing to say that
00:46 Brock Purdy is your franchise quarterback and it's another thing to actually treat him like one. Yeah, I think when
00:53 You have a real investment at quarterback. They haven't paid him yet
00:58 But they're probably going to you protect the investment, right? Yeah, so if you're messing around on the offensive line
01:04 I don't care what you say about your quarterback. You're not a hundred percent committed to him because
01:09 You sort of leaving it up to chance whether he gets hurt or not
01:13 You're not doing everything you can to put him in the best position possible. So I think the Niners believe in Brock. I
01:20 Think everyone does at this point. So I'd like to see the Niners actually protect their investment
01:26 He's the most important player on the team. He's not the best player on the team
01:30 But he's the most important freaking player on the team. I treat him that way
01:33 Iggy
01:35 If you were the general manager, would you take this?
01:40 Offensive lineman in the first round I would I absolutely would it was interesting
01:46 Last time the Niners took an offensive lineman in the first round. It was Mike McGlinchey
01:50 Okay
01:50 He wasn't the right guy
01:51 But they had the right idea and it came just a few months after they gave Jimmy Garoppolo that big freaking extension
01:59 Remember they traded for Jimmy they gave him that little audition. He did great and then right after that season
02:04 they gave him like a six-year contract extension worth a bajillion dollars and
02:07 Then they spent their first round pick on an offensive lineman because you got to protect your investment now McGlinchey wasn't great
02:14 and now he's gone, but
02:16 Now you have an opportunity of your first first round pick in years and it's supposed to be a really good class of offensive tackles
02:23 They can probably get an offensive tackle in round two
02:26 Who's better than McGlinchey?
02:29 Don't pass on this opportunity. You gotta get that guy
02:32 Right, and he could a break in by backing up McGlinchey eventually giving over. That's I'm sorry McKibbitz
02:40 I'm sorry. Yeah, and eventually move over to left tackle. Yes
02:44 That's what I'd like them to do. And I think yeah, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt
02:47 I think they get it
02:48 I think they're going to and I think the reason they extended McKibbitz and signed Brandon Parker is because they understood the whole world
02:55 Was expecting to do that and they're trying to create some mystery
02:59 I'm wrong. I don't know
03:03 It sounded stupid as I was saying it the magical mystery tour the magical mystery tour
03:11 I anyway, I agree with you. I also
03:14 Think they don't need to really take a lot more guys on defense since they've been only essentially only doing defense except for this Josh Dobbs
03:23 I think
03:25 They're going to and need to take a wide receiver for two reasons two reasons
03:30 Do a cozy
03:32 One they may not have IU - I don't think they have Debo anymore in the way Debo was Debo
03:39 He's not really a wide receiver anymore
03:42 He's not very good at running down the field and catching the ball
03:45 If you give him a screen pass and he has a little room god is he good?
03:50 He's so exciting and dynamic, but you can't do that all the time. No
03:55 No, so I agree with that a wide receiver one more so they've done all these
04:00 Things to their defense let people go brought people in in the coaching staff on the roster
04:08 They definitely improve their pass rush Leonard Floyd is a hell of a pass rusher Malik Collins is
04:13 Probably as good of a pass rusher as Eric Armstead the run defense was the issue last year though
04:18 They really improved it. I mean
04:21 Devonjre Campbell
04:24 That's the linebacker who's gonna replace dry Greenlaw. I don't know about that. That guy might be
04:28 Washed up and then Leonard Floyd's 240 pounds Malik Collins is a lot like J von Hargrave
04:35 Can they stop the run have they addressed that really? I don't know
04:38 They got some backups who were pretty good against the run, but their backups
04:40 So what would you do? I?
04:43 Think they need to draft a linebacker dad. I don't know about Devonjre Campbell. He's 31 almost 32
04:49 He's been really awful the last two years. He was good before that
04:52 They and they have no one after it's Fred Warner Devonjre Campbell and nothing essentially they need another linebacker
04:59 How long is Greenlaw out for he tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl?
05:03 You tell me I have no idea and what's he gonna be like when he gets back? Yeah, he wasn't even that good last year
05:08 He was great the year before that but it seemed like he was hurt most of last year
05:11 We'd watch games because he limping in the palm on the field in the play look like it and then
05:16 Clearly he was playing through injuries and then he got injured
05:19 The Achilles is serious. Yeah, it's really serious and his whole skill set is being fast and hitting
05:26 With violence. Can you still be that guy? Yeah. Yeah. I want to come back to one thing
05:32 You said Iggy you said when they gave Jimmy the big contract
05:36 they
05:38 Got what they thought was a good offensive lineman. I want to talk about Jimmy for a minute
05:43 Because he's him. He's important in recent 49er history. I
05:49 Think we could say that was another misjudgment by the 49ers to give him that contract
05:54 Based on the the amount of games which wasn't much that he had played
06:01 And based upon his ability
06:03 What we know about Jimmy was
06:06 They couldn't really wait to get rid of him at one point
06:10 He wasn't even practicing with the team and then they had to bring him onto the field because they were in a pickle
06:15 he was horrible with the Raiders and now he's a backup at the Rams and
06:21 Iggy he will never be a
06:23 Starter again unless this injury. Yeah, he's a Josh Dobbs. Now. You're just a backup. You're not even competing
06:30 You're not here
06:32 Exactly. Yeah, he's a Josh Dobbs situation, but it's worse Josh Dobbs never got the big contract was never seen
06:41 Misjudged as being a terrific player Josh Dobbs is him is himself Jimmy the Niners
06:49 completely misjudged him and
06:52 That's bad, too
06:54 Right. I mean people thought Jimmy Garoppolo was the heir apparent
06:58 Jimmy thought he was the heir apparent to Tom Brady at one point when the Niners gave him that extension
07:02 He was the highest paid player ever in the NFL
07:05 I think for like a month until someone else got paid but still there were great expectations for that young man and
07:11 He turned out to be essentially not a serious quarterback
07:14 Right. Yeah, not a serious quarterback. I never will be never will be again
07:19 So absolutely not look I have to come back to the main theme of
07:25 This broadcast maybe he was a clerical error
07:29 mmm
07:31 They really wanted Kirk cousins and then they traded for Jimmy Garoppolo by accident on accident on accident
07:37 Maybe somebody filled out the wrong name on the piece of paper
07:43 Yeah, it was supposed to be Tom Brady, but they said Jimmy Garoppolo by accident
07:48 Yeah on accident. Jeez. It's amazing how many clerical errors this team has had also trading for Trey Lance. They didn't mean to do that
07:55 Right, it was that was on accident. Here's the thing in New York
07:59 We always say by accident, but Iggy grew up here and he says on accident and it always sounds very strange to me. I
08:06 Do I've trained myself not to say it because you you know drilled it out of me when I was a little kid
08:12 But I think I heard Kyle say it. Oh
08:15 Well, if Kyle said it then what the hell do I know?
08:18 Also when I was a kid, I used to say verse all the time instead of verses and then you corrected me
08:23 I don't say that anymore because his verse he says verse as if it's poetry V E R
08:29 Se as if it well, maybe he's hey Iggy
08:33 Remember that time I asked Valkyrie if he if he liked poetry
08:36 in a press conference and and the PR guy because he we were talking about some seventh round pick that they drafted and in cotton and
08:43 Friend was asked like what do you know about the guy and he's like, oh, well, he likes poetry and you're like
08:50 You care who's your favorite poet Andrew Bucky's like and the PR director Bob Lang was like say Wordsworth
08:58 No, I Walt Whitman say Walt Whitman. He said
09:02 Name one poem by Walt Whitman
09:06 That really happened, right I
09:10 Actually liked Trent Bucky at the end
09:12 Well, he he kissed he kissed our gosh the last season, right?
09:17 He knew he was in trouble and he knew that we were I
09:20 Don't know he was trying to get someone on his side. So whenever we were at practice
09:25 He'd like come over and walk. I was like, what are you doing?
09:27 It was so funny, but yeah, he kind of had this attitude like look I know I'm getting fired. Yeah, this isn't going so well
09:41 Okay, I remember they had that practice at Kezar and I said what watch back he's walking over to us
09:48 I see. Yeah, see here. He comes. He's walking over and that's when you knew he was in trouble
09:52 Absolutely. You want you want to talk to us like this this two years ago?
09:57 You would have turned your nose about us if we like right you bunk
10:00 Yeah, stunk now. He's walking over to us with a grin it up
10:05 *outro*
10:07 *outro*
10:09 (upbeat music)
