April 19, 2018 Ep. 233: “I understand the appeal of Josh Sweat, I’m just not on board.”
On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, we try and fail at pronouncing the names of defenders who could be an option for the 49ers on day two or later.

April 12, 2018 Ep. 232: “Shanahan prefers guys who can separate.”
On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, we take a look at day-two-or-later draft prospects who’ve caught our eye on offense. Will the 49ers really be looking at big, contested-catch wide receivers or does Kyle Shanahan have a different type? (8:53) In a deep draft class, which running backs stand out as fits in the 49ers offense? (32:30) And which player would give the 49ers a pair of top-end athletes at the tight end position? (50:04). All that, plus what we’re looking for in later-round prospects, the abundance of big wideouts in this draft class, and the general lack of intriguing prospects in this TE class.

April 05, 2018 Ep. 231: “They have no one who can do what Harold Landry does.”
On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, premium-position players who could be available for the 49ers at No. 9 overall enter the spotlight.

(6:54) Do either of the top cornerbacks in this draft class project as a scheme fit in San Francisco’s defense? (26:26) And which edge rusher should be at the top of the 49ers’ wish list come draft day? (46:09) All that, plus math jokes, why offense is unlikely to be a consideration at No. 9 overall, and our rankings for San Francisco’s first-round options.

On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, our draft preview series continues by looking at three non-premium position players who could be options for the 49ers with the No. 9 overall pick. Is there anything wrong with Quenton Nelson’s game? (10:37) Does Roquan Smith excel in the passing game enough to add more value than your typical linebacker? (25:18) And is the upside of Tremaine Edmunds worth a top-10 selection? (42:12) All that, plus should the 49ers trade for OBJ (2:00), the latest on Reuben Foster, and it’s officially #BESTSHAPEOFHISLIFESZN.
