Tired of the same old, same old?

Shocker. Some would call it a stunner. 49ers fans are largely against investing in the defensive line in the first round tonight.

Fourty-eight percent of first-round selections “hit.” Each round after sees that percentage slashed in half.

Understandably, 49ers fans want...

Tension likely to be overriding NFL Draft emotion for 49ers fans as franchise stays open to malpractice

What's the prevailing emotion among a fanbase of a team who just over two months ago lost the Super Bowl in overtime heading into the 2024 NFL Draft? It's a difficult question to answer, but it's fair to suggest that there's probably a decent amount of apathy among fans of the San Francisco 49ers as their team prepares to pick 31st overall.

This offseason, Brandon Aiyuk has been a constant subject of discussion, especially over his dicey contract talks with the San Francisco 49ers. Although the franchise has continuously dismissed the narrative of the wide receiver seeking trade, they are yet to cook up the deal he desired.  It appears Aiyuk got fed up with being receiver No.

SB Nation NFL Mock Draft: Kyle Shanahan can’t go wrong with wide receiver from his alma mater

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch’s pre-draft presser on Monday was a treasure trove of hints about the team’s draft intentions.
