So true ... that Trubisky pick (Bears) kind of threw me off last night. Pick #2? Wow, wow and wow.

Haven't Mayock and the others been saying that all the QBs were a 2nd round talent at best?

Trubisky pick was the equivalent of a No. 16 seed knocking off a No. 1 seed in the NCAA 64-team tourney, it just blew every bracket, mock apart last night...

Payton and staff were in a state of disbelief that Lattimore was there at No. 11 after they had him with an average rating of No. 4 overall...

The bad thing about when that happens is now you really have to adjust your draft strategy on the fly...

Ironic isn't it that rookie GM John Lynch looked like the grizzled veteran last night and got the 49ers the exact player they wanted, an add'l third round pick and a first round pick next year when that draft class is expected to be a special, rare quarterback class...

So far it looks like 49ers CEO Jed York got lucky and let the adult handle things in the draft...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Actually Mitchell Trubiskey had been rated a mid round pick (No. 10 ~ No. 22)...

Deshaun Watson and Deshone Kizer were among the more divisive among scouts with a wide variance of grades, some as late as the third round...

Personally, I think Watson benefited from having some great receivers who bailed him out as I just don't think he was properly schooled in read progression -

he just looked like he really didn't have a plan and would just chuck it out there...

I actually expected Davis Webb to sneak into the back of the first round the way things were going...

Webb very much reminds me of our very own Drew Brees, in that mould, and I wouldn't be surprised if Payton feels compelled to reach for him...

If we pick and Malik McDowell AND Chidobe Awuzie are still there at No. 42, that'd be a real tough call...

McDowell has top five talent, is a virtual clone of Cam Jordan, and I'm not sold on this whole cloud of bad attitude thing...

Malik McDowell just needs some trusted coaching and guidance and we've got the defensive coaches and vets to do it...

Personally, I like Awuzie as much, if not more, than Lattimore and wouldn't have a problem taking Chidobe either...

And yes, even though I really, really felt we already have two terrific CBs already on the roster...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

My guess is that we have several remaining DE's with the same grade that we can get at 42 or even later. But you aren't gonna get the best OT in the draft at 42.

Talk about a red flag for Mr. Fox; may need to start looking into other employment opportunities
