Former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz joins the show to break down a bold take he made on First Things First: the 49ers haven't drafted well in four years — and it might be catching up with them. The guys dig into whether that criticism is fair given how young some of San Francisco's recent picks still are, or whether the top-heavy roster and lack of proven depth is a real long-term problem. Geoff explains how he actually evaluates a draft class (hint: it's not about the preseason), breaks down which recent Niners picks have flashed real promise, and gives his honest take on Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch's unconventional approach to building the offensive line. Then the conversation shifts to Giants baseball, a historically bad start to the season, an exciting 17-year-old prospect from the Dominican Republic, and a very unserious pitch to investigate the Dodgers' ownership.
Topics discussed include:
Why Geoff thinks the 49ers haven't drafted well in years
When you can actually judge a draft class (it's not year one)
How to properly read preseason performance
Shanahan and Lynch's philosophy on investing in the offensive line
Comparing today's Niners O-line to the Harbaugh era
The Giants' rough season and an intriguing prospect on the way
A tongue-in-cheek take on the Dodgers' ownership situation
