More along the lines of what MTK said, but like they played the position, so they have more institutional knowledge as to what caliber of player(s) they need to run the defensive scheme they plan to run.

Can't say the plan (whatever it is) is a good one though as it hasn't worked so far.

I'm just waiting for T Lawrence and Evan Engram to carve them up week 1. I can't help but believe that the 3rd down issues are directly tied to the weak LB corps.

LBs in general are being devalued across the league since so many teams are playing in DB heavy schemes.

We have no db’s either though. Lol. A couple sort of promising corners i guess. Fuller is solid. Not sure the group is enough to cover the deficiencies of our LB’s.

Devaluing is one thing. Completely ignoring is quite another.

9 DBs aren't enough eh

Pretty sure some moves will be coming in the next few days

I was talking quality not quantity.

The front office failure at some positions will come back to haunt us…especially at CB

Yaaaasssss!

Former Badgers always welcome!

Tariq (6R pick this year) spurned the Terps for Penn State but I thought looked pretty good in college.

Wildgoose (6R 2021 by Bills) released by Bills at end of 2021 TC, signed w Jets and played a few snaps, not sure if on D or ST.

------------

Either way ... both are big question marks w zero NFL starting experience.

We'll see .. I wanted someone w more a bit experience like Gardner-johnson or Mullens.

On the "49ers Talk" podcast in late June, former Washington GM Scot McCloughan said of Castro-Fields: “I think their best bang for the buck was getting Castro-Fields. ... I think he’s going to play, and he’s going to play well.”

More like the kiss of death for Castro-Fields

None of our guys got claimed, back end depth still lacking

Dane had a 4th round grade. TCF went 6th to the 49ers.

He ran a 4.38 40 at the Combine. Hair over 6-foot.
