49ers - Raiders Thursday Night

[Montalban]

I'm sure this matchup has NFL executives shakibng their heads and saying "What were we thinking".

My take: Raiders expose a weak 49er defense with no secondary and no pass rush. The 49ers will never really be in the game but will keep it fairly close through 2 and a half quarters, mainly due to the ineptitude of the Raiders before the Raiders pull away in the 4th quarter.

Raiders - 30
49ers - 16

Mullens might be the starting QB

I'll go 30 to 7 in that case.

LOL, who knows. Maybe Mullens plays better than Beathard

Beathard does just enough to get you beat. Mullins would probably make the team just quit all together.

Having a big gathering of long time friends for this one
Just about a 50%-50% crowd

LOL, for the bust bowl? My girlfriend is a Raider fan. We were planning to go to a sports bar for this one before the season started but scrapped that one the way this season went

In a craptastic season it's all we have left.
That's what I tell them. At least until the coin flip( draft position) and then it's back on

Lose....with some dignity of course....and get Bosa. That should be the gameplan.

or Oliver..

or Oliver..

Great player...may even go ahead of Bosa...but no thanks. SF doesn't need more interior linemen (and no...I don't want to draft Oliver and move Buckner full time outside)

I want a true edge rusher.

Edge rusher is my first choice. If the best prospects are gone, I wouldn't be opposed to taking a cornerback instead if an elite prospect is still on the board.

There is practically zero chance that SF will not be in position to draft someone. Garoppolo ain't coming through that door (unless he's on crutches) so the team will just continue to lose. Bosa, Ferrell, Sweat, Burns, Gary, Allen, Polite....I am all on board of getting two of them with the first two picks if we can.

 

[RobertPhD01]

Top 10 looks like DEs, OTs, and a couple Edge Rushers, maybe 1 or 2 CBs!?! I have a feeling about Bosa.. kind like Thomas?!? A junior and injured already?? Maybe trade down to 10 for the extra picks...!!

I've long championed the idea of doubling down on positions of need

Allen is of great interest at this point

I don't follow college ball so I don't know much about those players. We should have a top three pick and if Bosa is gone I wouldn't mind taking one of those others if they are worthy of such a high pick also am not opposed to taking a corner high if an elite one is available

Absolutely...especially in places of importance. ER's, corners, LB's.....that's basically what I want from SF this year.

Defense all the way unless something totally unexpected happens and the Niners can get lucky with an offensive player falling into their laps.

I don't follow it much either - I just know that this draft is loaded with potential at the DE/OLB/ER position, and SF needs to come away with at least one of the top tiered guys (again...unless something unforseen takes place). Corners? I know there isn't the same type of hype for them as the ER's in this class - that's all I got. I dunno if the class is strong or not.
