Lynch and Shanahan Discuss Drafting Ricky Pearsall with the 31st-Overall Pick | 49ers 

Ricky is versatile. DAWG! Great hands. Great feet. Good blocker. Good punt returner. He's a steal. Great YAK abilities.

Too blind to see that you have a good football player. Go Gators! Love you Ricky!

Purdy getting 5k this season ❤

That’s why we are the best, totally trust our organization to find great hi IQ type players that figure out a way to win👍

4:35 y'all see Kyle's face when Grant cracks a joke while John Lynch is laughing. Priceless lmaooo

Welcome to the Faithful, Ricky Pearsall🎉

Pearsall is really good, and there is about to be a huge run of wrs. I think no OL left have a round 1 grade, and it’s not out of the question to trade up and grab DeJean if we want to

What people don’t realize is that Deebo gets hurt every year and when he’s out the team isn’t nearly as good on offense. They have needed a 3rd guy who can step in and be effective to limit the drop off.

Ricky's pro comp-Cooper Kupp but faster and more athletic. Shanahan didn't want to put extra pressure on Ricky by giving the media ammo to use against Ricky or the team in the future.

I’m really hyped for Ricky Can’t wait to see what he brings on the table 🔥🔥💯🔥

I love spicy Kyle

i gota say i was really mad when the pick came in. i really wanted cooper. but watching this kids tape and i do see some special traits in him. did they reach, yes they did, but if the kid is a mix of edelman and kittle then the gamble paid off

Love it! Good job Lynch and Coach. Pretty Ricky= Clean routes and crazy athleticism. Welcome to the Niners. Bang Bang it’s going to be an Arizona connection thang.

let’s go ricky. i’m here for it

The niners had plenty of pics to trade to get a preferred player. They got the fit they wanted for their type of play.

It's clear Deebo is leaving next offseason with the possible out on his contract

Where the O-line? Purdy needs time to get it to the receivers!

Idk who’s more frustrating these 2 for not drafting an O lineman or the media for not even asking them a question about it.

And the Niners select Ricky Stanicky 😂😂😂😂

Pearsall is a beast

Great pick Gentlemen! Excited for round 2!

A lot of O tackles already drafted in the 1st round. Hope the Niners pick up someone who an at least put hands on Chris Jones in the SB instead of letting him run straight for Purdy

Yeah it was just a coincidence that all four of our quarter backs got beat up by the league What a genius

What ppl don’t understand is they got Ricky because Billy runs a similar offense at fla so Ricky will hit the ground running in the 49ers offense let’s gooo

Pearsall will be all pro take it to the bank,especially with a good qb..Hide and watch,put some respect on that mans name

IMO Ricky is what they wanted Danny Gray to be ... he's just as fast as Gray and has better hands....oh and there were going to get the kid from AZ but GB squashed that

I'm sure Persall is a great player but we need offensive linemen. I'm surprised. So, we did nothing to protect and give Purdy more time.

Nice depth player. More of a Aiyuk style WR than Deebo or Jennings. I still see the niners signing Aiyuk. Egos are going to have to be in check and that’s up to the organization and management to keep all happy. I could see Aiyuk saying wtf vs Deebo.

The facts that the Niners: 1) Took a WR in Rd#1 (not a position of immediate need) rather than a top CB or O-Lineman... 2) Did not take the top rated WR, or even BPA... 3) Used their #1 pick on a player who will not start this year... All point to the Niners thinking that the roster was not the reason they lost the SB. THAT means that they recognize that the reason they lost (another...) SB was Kyle. A great HC can overcome a weak roster to some degree and get them to overperform. A great roster cannot overcome a weak HC.

How did the eagles managed to sign both of their top WRs and has a QB on that salary and tf we can't do it?

not mad at the player he’s good but not what the team needed

Kyle's eyes said everything. Bye bye Ayuik and welcome Pearsall!

O LINE

“Exciting“ 😂🤦‍♂️

Why do "reporters" ask questions they know answers to? I can't imagine something more dumb than wasting the opportunity to learn something.

No one knows how ANY draft pick will work out…come back in a couple of years. The amount of armchair GMs on here that think they know better than the scouts, coaches, GM etc is hilarious…those that are the most opinionated are usually the one’s that are least qualified to question a pick…

What about Ronnie Bell and Danny gray? Need to wait and see what happens once draft is over.

No John not all of us did. I believe but this is weird

My mom is 49ers fan

I feel like Nate Wiggins was original pick, but Baltimore took him just before we could and went with their 2nd choice in Pearsall. I was surprised with the pick, but i trust John and Kyle, so now I'm excited to see what Pearsall brings to the offense.

Bro there’s 6’4 230 lb Safety outta Miami that hits like a Mack Truck he’s there at 63 you gotta get him we need some Southern Secondary

why kyle aggresive

I'm worried about Lynch's use of the word "efforting," in response to trade question. I don't think that's a word. Is that a tell for a trade? We'll see.

See you August Ricky

Love it !! Special teams!! Punt returner!!

Biggest position of need oline we draft a wr that would of been there in the 3rd

He know X.Worthy lol

Chiefs drafting Xavier worthy screwed their pucci bags

hopefully we pay ba

Will see but keep ab

This pick is bad .Even as bad as picking Jake Moody in the 3rd round...49ers needed oL Kool-Aid DB from Iowa Uggghhhhhh

O LINE ASAP...

Translation: "We wanted Xavier Worthy but KC leapfrogged us and took him!" 🤦

49ers got tired of Aiyuk tweeting or was it pasting on Facebook. Whatever it was, 49ers decided his $27 million payday wasn't worth the drama. I don't blame the 9ers. We can get a good OL for with that money.

I believe John. Deebo and BA (they are trying) arent going anywhere

Mike silver being there and trying to instigate had me dead. I will say this: like the pick. Like the player I see what he can do now and think is skillset is very Shanahan esque. Can see him playing a role on this team especially punts his first year. His combine numbers are very impressive. 4.41 42 inch vert and 17 reps on bench stand out and show he’s a really elite athlete. Tape looks awesome. But man I hope they don’t get rid of any of these wideouts. They are so great together even Jauan. If john lynch finds a way to keep everyone together and happy and isn’t just doing a good job handling the media and playing politics with his answers then he’ll have my complete trust. Regardless he’s a great GM but he’s been very truthful in the media and I respect that and hope they can get out of this situation with the same team in tact

Ricky will be the next Cooper Kupp!

I think that Worthy was the 49ers target but the Chiefs beat us again and we settled for a less exciting player.

Reach to replace Ray Ray!!!

So spend a first round pick on a decent special teamer SMH

Pick 32 Xavier Legette is better then Pearsall at WR. Carolina Panthers were like thanks very much.

Awesome

Danny Gray , Ronnie Bell are both busts. Ray Ray is gone due to free agency, this was a great move for the Niners. Now we need O Line picks….

Why not trade down with the Panthers and give yourself an extra 24 hours to take the best player on the board to start round 2? Ricky would have still been there. Lynch was too busy waiting for someone to call for Aiyuk or Deebo. As a result he allowed the Lions and Chiefs move up and take a player they could have easily traded up for!

No way there smiling after taking a nobody

Ima trust y'all on this

When it comes to building a roster, can’t none of us really complain because at the end of the day the Super Bowl wasn’t lost based on a roster it was based on kyle’s coaching the roster was better than Kansas City in every way possible not to mention Kansas City was at its weakest point with injuries a few years ago when we picked up B.A nobody knew who the hell he was same with Deebo So I’m not too stressed on the roster more stressed out about the man in command the moment seems too big for him when it comes to Super Bowls

We'll take a back up punter in round 2. A Q.B. in round 3 we will eventually trade away for a round 5 pick. We don't need an offensive tackle or a top CB.

What Kyle likes best about Ricky is that he's not an offensive lineman. Next move trade track williams for 2 more receivers

dude is good and niner ain’t getting him on day 2 but i still take others at 31.

Terrible, drafted a player at a position with lots of depth. Why didn't these bozo draft a position of need or trade up if no one else was available.

Bro has Cooper Kupp potential. Huge

I honestly like the pic.

😅

Please dont use him on returns.The Niners have terrible soecial teams as far as opening return lanes.

They kept saying, "make our team better", but wouldn't that entail addressing our weak spots, specifically OL and CB? WR doesn't make sense at all if your OL doesn't give you time to throw.🤷🏽‍♂️

Great addition!!

Bunch of whiners complaining about these guy’s decisions like they haven’t had a top rosters since 2019 despite losing pieces every off season. Go play Madden GM if you ain’t happy! LMFAO!

Nice pick. Wicked trio

Another Kyle pick.

Yeah Deebo’s gone

BS... get CB and O-Line... address a need not a want.

🤦🏾

Drafting for the future. Deebo will be gone next season.

BYE BYE DEBO

SMH

A white wide receiver? Did they draft for talent or someone who could learn the system fast?

Please don't get up here and start lying please

These clowns have no idea what they are doing except lose super Bowls to the Chiefs and now 49ers have to stop a faster Wr in X.Worthy

This is honestly a worst pick we ever gotten for Res and Gold so far into the 31st overall in a first round 2024. Because this potentially means that Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel could possibly leaving SF. And ignoring an O-Lineman or a single CB is needed for this team for good factor. And Lynch or Kyle are sincerely blind minded if not doing their thing as usual, hate to say it. I mean is he really a good Wide Receiver core for this offense for Brock Purdy?.

These 2 idiots up there laughing but can't make the right move to actually win #6 am getting tired of it

Look at Kyle he's so arrogant hate him😊

Man what a reach. Please trade up to get Kool-aid or another CB at the top of Round 2!

Ricky is a great pick. Yall have no idea I watched his tape during combine week and against our Georgia team he made huge plays

Look at the tape. CB & O-Line weak & needs help.

Branch is dishonest. Please keep him away

Bye B.A. 😢

mark my words ...another Jalen Hurd

Well… see ya aiyuk 😢

Terrible pick. WR is FAR from their biggest need and Pearsall was FAR from the best WR available. CB OT OG and TE were all much bigger needs. Btw Dre Greenlaw is hurt so yeah you need a LB too.
