We lost our own 1st rounder because our owner is an imbecile, so all we have now is the Niners pick.

Week 1:

Loss to the Chicago Bears 19-10. Just an ugly game all around, both QBs looked terrible and the Niners blew a 10-0 lead in the 3rd. The Bears will very likely be terrible, like 4-5 wins this year terrible so the fact that they beat the Niners and Lance had a terrible game is very good news for us.

Could be a very long season for them.

Trey Lance carted off the field with his leg in an air cast. Obviously, looks really bad and hope it's not something career ending.

Jimmy G is probably the QB for the rest of the season now in some amazing awkwardness.

This is exactly why I wanted Jimmy G traded away during the offseason.  MIA would be sitting pretty right now if Jimmy were in SEA or HOU, but instead he has raised the floor of the 49ers season.

I know, what I feared too. I guess they either wanted him as insurance or be worth a lot of draft picks in a trade. They look smart now, which sucks.

It sux. Jimmy G is definitely going to win many more than his predecessor.

Please accept the upraised middle finger of each hand as a soaring salute to all of you...  >:D

Having your supposed franchise QB carted off with a season ending injury isn't exactly cause for celebration.

Credit to you.  You called that shit.

I wouldn't say they look "smart now", they wanted to unload him but couldn't.  More like they just had dumb luck.

They set the price too high, so they either got a lot for him or they kept him. This seems like it was by design.

Seems like they set the price based on the market, and then when the market didn't materialize, they wrote it off as a relatively cheap insurance policy...

Week 3:

Niners fall to 1-2 after an ugly game from both sides, the Broncos just sucked a little bit less. Jimmy G pulled an Orlovsky and stepped out of bounds in the endzone for a safety. Broncos have a good defense but their offense under Hackett is really struggling.

Next week the Niners face the Rams.

I may be late, what place would 49ers have to finish for the Dolphins to have a decent pick  ???

What's a decent pick?

Here's last year's overall table:

https://www.nfl.com/standings/league/2021/reg

Less than 7 wins was a top 10 pick - even some 7 win teams. The year before that, 5-6 wins would have been needed for a top 10 pick (and not all 6 win teams), but there was one game fewer in 2020.

Going back further shows pretty much the same. 6 wins in a 16 game season is a 50/50 shot a top 10 pick. With one more game now, I'd say 6 wins probably gives you a very good shot at a top 10 pick. You might get lucky with 7 wins, but probably not. If SF gets 8 wins, the draft pick is likely to be in the 14-16 pick range, although you could get lucky on unlucky.

If SF make the playoffs with a miserable record, that would obviously tank the draft value (since those teams pick after everyone who didn't make the playoffs), so you want someone else to step up and win the division.

In other words, We are looking forward to the 49ers to do great in the standings for the Dolphins to get pick 1-10 or am I saying this wrong ???

Yeah, other way around. We need them to do as badly as possible. Period. If they get 6 wins, we will likely get a top 10 pick. If they get 7, we probably won't. If they get 8 wins, we're likely talking 14-16th pick, unless they make the playoffs (in which case it's worse since playoff teams get their picks after everyone else).

Yeah, it's a crapshoot every season. Sometimes the #1 pick goes to a 4 win team, other times a 1 win team. A lot of this will hinder on how the rest of the NFC does.

God, Niners looked really bad last night.

I always thought that Garrapolo was at least serviceable, but he looked super terrible -- couldn't hit open guys.  And had no protection even if he could. 

Broncos also looked like ass.  What an ugly game.

LT Trent Williams left the game with a high ankle sprain. No timetable yet, but he could out for several weeks since that is a tough injury.

Yeah, I've thought of Tua as Garrapolo-esque, but geez Tua is much better at throwing the ball.

If the defense keeps playing like they did tonight, they'll drag SF into the playoffs all alone...

Jimmy G has more playoff success than any quarterback since the Marino ERA.

Oh shit, he already has almost as much success as Marino in the postseason

Jimmy G has appeared in two conference title games and 1 Super Bowl.

I think Marino appeared in three conference title games and one Super Bowl

^^^ ouch... ^^^

 >:D

My initial reaction to the Rams getting stomped by the Bills was correct, this team isn't that good and will probably miss the playoffs.

Anyone's division but sadly, I would put the Niners as the favorites now.

Just gonna ignore this thread until later in the season, the Niners are very likely winning the division as the Cards and Rams are both going to miss the playoffs.

^^^ Despite losing their heir-apparent at QB as well as losing the best OT in the game for a big portion of the season, I expect them to be in the NFCC, fighting for another trip to the SB.

49ers deal for Christian McCaffrey...loving it. I've loved thte kid since he was tearing up the record books at Stanford. Hopefully he is with us for the long haul!

It's a nice haul for the Panthers too. Trying to be unbiased, it's a good move by San Fran because they are going all in right now and why not? The NFC is incredibly weak this year and they can make it to the Superbowl just as much as anyone else. Rams look spent and Kyler Murray is cursing at his coach on TV, so that ain't sustainable. Once you're in the Superbowl, just gotta win one more game to be champs. Any Given Sunday.

As a Dolphins fan, I always hated the trades we made during the Waddle draft and I hate them even more now.

After the sports talking heads spent the week talking about how McCaffrey brings such crazy versatility to the Niners offense, he goes out and has a rushing TD, a receiving TD and even a passing TD.

That was a fun game to watch...

2022 SF draft pick watch is over.
The pick is DEN's problem now.

Go Niners!

I think the only responsible thing to do is to lock this thread.  Cheers, fellas.  Fuck them picks.

The Dolphins got three first-rounders back in the deal the 49ers did with them to go up for Trey Lance. Miami traded all three of them.

• '21 pick packaged to trade up for Jaylen Waddle.
• '22 pick sent to Chiefs for Tyreek Hill.
• '23 pick sent to Broncos for Bradley Chubb.
