49ers trade up and take Iowa QB CJ Beathard. Great name but questionable pick. Probably better to wait until the 4th round but hey, what do I know. Best to stick with the Shanaplan.

@KiwiMurph At least they are stockpiling picks. They got a second round pick in 2018 from the Vikings. Seems they will wait on Kirk Cousins and if that doesn't work out, draft a QB in next year's stronger class. Beathard is probably there to be the career backup like a Tony Banks or Curtis Painter.

@Sneakdefreak completely agree. Smart move. I also like the fact theyve picked a smart QB coming out of a pro style system in college too - which is quite rare these days - a much easier transition into a complicated Shanahan offense.

Watching some of the Bowl games over the Christmas break. Louisiana Tech V Navy was a great game (48 - 45). Louisiana Tech WR Trent Taylor had something like 233 yards and 2 TDs. He's going to be a late round draft pick (only 5'8) in next year's draft but looks like the next Wes Welker or TY Hilton. Bet the Pats pick him.
Nope the 49ers select Trent Taylor in the fifth round and get the steal of the draft! woohoo! Great overall draft by San Francisco but now its about getting the best of the undrafted bunch, as they tend to fill out the rest of your roster (with some becoming elite players).

Who is this guy Sneak?

@canefan The best WR in college football last year. Undersized but is damn elusive. His WR team mate Carlos Henderson went to Denver in the third round but Taylor is the better player.
Could be the next Wes Welker or Julian Elderman but apparently he just wants to be the next Trent Taylor:
As a 5’8 white wide receiver, guess who Trent Taylor has been compared to?
The answers are obvious but Taylor just want to be his own guy

If his name was Corey Davis, I'd agree with this.

Very long but very interesting article by legendary US journalist Peter King on being inside the 49ers draft room last weekend. Worth a read.

Never heard this about the last draft pick before, thought it was pretty funny. The best part " you don't know any Polynesians do you?".
What It's Like to Be the NFL Draft's Last Pick
A weird, wild weekend. An insulting trophy. Torture from teammates. Here's what it's like from seven players who lived it.

@jegga One of the best things about the draft is the Mr Irrelevant pick. They never make it to the NFL (apart from kicker Ryan Succop) but Chad Kelly could be a solid development pick by the Broncos if he gets his attitude right.
