There were several more talented players than him on the board that we passed on in my opinion.

Wirfs
Jeudy/ Lamb
Wills

CJ fills a huge need and we passed on more talented players (imo) to fill it.  That is why I called it a reach.

It's a reach. He's not a complete CB at that. He's a cover corner that will shy away from contact and tackling. I expect him to get jammed a lot and to be trailing a lot with his speed. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. 

He was more productive in 2018 and dipped in performance in 2019. They wanted Okudah. Couldn't get Detroit to move off from the 3rd overall pick. That's fine. But they had the pick of the litter at WR, an opportunity to draft a tackle in Wirfs who could push Taylor to LT and move Robinson to G. 

It feels like they panicked. I would have been fine with Diggs, Johnson or Fulton tomorrow night in RD2. Darrell Taylor at DE tomorrow night as well instead of Chaisson. Really concerned with that selection. Feels like a need pick to move on from Ngakoue. 

Unlike Ngakoue though Chaisson really doesn't have the numbers and an injury concern coming out of LSU that Ngakoue didn't have coming out of Maryland. The defense was an issue. That's fine. What's not fine though is keeping Wash around to coach it again. 

They left Minshew out to dry tonight. He lost tonight. They might get a receiver like Higgins, Mims or Pittman Jr. Or they might get a tackle like Cleveland, Jones or Adams. But that group is vastly less dynamic than the likes of Wirfs, Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs and Jefferson. 

Said it earlier. When Robinson gets abused like a turntable again and they fail to stay on the football field because he's putting them in a hole along with everyone else? Just remember tonight. This team trends in the opposite direction every year. 

The 49ers "vaunted" defense got beat in that SB and the 49ers lacked the fire power to keep up. Our "vaunted" defense in 2017 only gained us a 10 - 6 record against creampuff QBs. We needed speed and pass protection on offense. They let that opportunity slip by them twice tonight because they're more concerned with making up for the dick measuring contests they've lost with Ramsey and Ngakoue.
