    Maelstrom Mock 2024: Welp, Here Ya Go

    In theory, Anchrum and McClendon Curtis will be there to compete and I can't imagine there's any real loyalty to entrenched starters with an entirely new staff. But I'd agree that it'd be more comfortable to have a better prospect there.

    If Pete were still here

    John runs the draft and there's no way in hell Pete would've overruled him on the type of DT they'd been searching for. Trade for Leo hints at it.

    Cooper DeJean to the 49ers (EDIT: False alarm. Ricky Pearsall.)

    EDIT: Michael Silver has deleted the tweet. The Niners are taking Ricky Pearsall instead.

    Barton over JPJ for top center

    Would've been my choice as well at the spot. Barton is so damn solid. Both are versatile, but Barton was announced as a center and TB needed one.

    Seattle guaranteed to have shot at a top-2 defender at 16 now

    I'm kind of glad he didn't. I friggin' love the player, but he'd absolutely be a medical retirement by year 2 with our luck.

    Verse

    It wrecks everything. The edge rushers get home because there's nowhere to step up. The corners and safeties have less ground to cover because the QB can't step up to buy time. The edges can set wider. The linebackers can cheat. It all gets so much easier.

    Verse

    He'll be damn good, but I'm at peace with Murphy. We got the clear best DT in the draft and as much as I loved both Turner and Verse, I think an elite interior is a bigger boon for a team looking to morph into a contender.

    Verse

    Verse to Rams was one of the picks I did not want to see happen. I don't have any reports, but I'll be sad if it happens.

    Maelstrom Mock 2024: Welp, Here Ya Go

    There's a perfect ITYSL quote for pretty much everything. McKinnley probably isn't happening now, but I still really like the guy. Colson... well, we'll need to give up 2025 capital for him at this point.

    Maelstrom Mock 2024: Welp, Here Ya Go

    This draft fell so goddamn well for us.

    Usually, I let John do what he wants. But...

    I'm going on the record here. If you trade down, you better have a freakin' screamer of an offer. I HATE this phrase and its use among draft fans but... don't get cute. Please. Not this time. It fell into our laps. It all fell into our laps. Do not get cute.

    Signs pointing against trading down

    Not gonna spoil it, but they're passing on him.

    Signs pointing against trading down

    Maybe, but at the same time, clearly the defensive assets are devalued to begin with given their existence at this juncture

    Signs pointing against trading down

    For sure. We didn't have a chance at a single one of those dudes.

    Signs pointing against trading down

    ALL SIX QUARTERBACKS in the top 12. The talent at 16 is going to be way, way beyond what we could've expected. Also softens the market. Less urgency to trade up for a tackle.

    Happy draft day!

    I do like Penix overall. I was talking about what NFL insiders were generally reporting. I like him better than McCarthy and Nix, that's for sure. Also, I'm defending Gem here after he said Penix could be a hall of famer and Titus shat on him for it.

    Happy draft day!

    Lots of people have bad takes about quarterbacks. I mean... *gestures widely*

    No surprises so far

    Cousins 2: Electric Boogaloo coming up for Minnesota, surely

    How I familiarize myself with a draft class

    Yeah, kinda crazy. I would've taken Nabers all day.
