I thought Trey Sermon was the best RB in the draft with Javonte Williams in close 2nd.
I would be more excited about the pick, if it weren't for Shanahan playing favorites. Hopefully, Sermon will test well on those pregame quizzes.
It's best for Sermon's longevity to not be out there every snap, but I think he won't be out there hardly at all if he doesn't nail his protections.
Traded away not one, but 2, fourth round picks is what stinks about that pick. To add salt to injury, I strongly believe that UNC’s Michael Carter is a much better player for us (running and catching) in this scheme. He also has more tread in his tires. Sermon’s body seems to be breaking down already, he’s not a bad RB at all. I just don’t think he was worth the price we paid for him. Overall I give us a C- grade based on how we managed the draft overall. The only reason why we passed is because of Trey Lance.
IMO, this is how we should’ve managed the draft with the two 4th round picks we had:
1.) Justin Fields (but Lance is not a bad prospect for us either)
2.) Rondale Moore (1 ch) or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
3.) Elijah Molden (1st choice) or Michael Carter
4.) Jabil Cox (1 ch, depending on who we drafted in Rd 2 between Moore and JOK) or Jaylon Moore
4.) Trey Smith
5.) Demetric Felton (depending on who we drafted in rd 2 between Moore or JOK) or Deo Lenoir
6.) Elijah Mitchell
7.) Talanoa Hufanga
EDIT: with the 7th round pick instead of Hufanga, we should’ve drafted Ar’Darius Washington.
This is why I was banging on the table for Trey Smith. He’s head and shoulders better than Banks and Moore. I can’t believe we passed up on him (fast forward to 1:08)
