If Gregory is still on the board at our pick (no trade up) would you grab him? I'm seriously doubting i would, guy sounds like he needs a Rolando McClain year to get his life back in order, a couple weeks ago he was a consensus top 5 pick but in light of his problems he may need to just take a year
The more i watch of Tray Walker the more i like. Guy needs work but given a year he will be darn good with some coaching. You can't teach size and mindset and Walker has both. Gotta love corners that aren't afraid to hit.
I feel so bad for the FO, cuts this year are going to be so hard. So much young talent coming in through the draft and i like a lot of these UDFAs, namely Easton, Allen, Worthy, and Monroe. From the looks of things they can all do some real damage given the chance. It seems we'll be waving bye to some familiar faces like Tyson and McClellan to make room.
How much cap will we have next offseason? i feel like once all this dead money is gone we will have more cap than we are used to
Not that we didn't know this already, but leaving Weddle out of the Pro Bowl is clear sign that it means very little at this point, popularity contest to say the least.
So reports are that the 49ers are canning both GM Baalke (Long overdue) and Chip Kelly. So how long until they ask for an interview with DeCosta? And how long until he turns them down?
Considering our recent sobering reminder that Flacco is in fact mortal and can get injured just like anyone else, I really hope we draft a QB at least in the mid rounds. I really hope that guy is Jacoby Brissett from NC State, big guy with a big arm and doesn't make many mistakes, also really good at scrambling and getting out of trouble. I really like the guy and I think he can be had in round 4.
To be honest I don't see why everyone loves Ogbah, finally got around to watching a bit of his tape and does he only know how to bull rush?
If Landon Collins is on the board at our pick i can see Ozzie pulling the trigger, as much as I'd hate to take ANOTHER safety. He's a guy that shouldn't be available when we pick but might because the teams that need a safety above us have bigger needs. He's super talented and wouldn't have to start right away, If Elam continues to disappoint and/or Hill can't be retained he'd give us options. Just saying....Ozzie could deem him BPA. Just food for thought
^ goes out of his way to make a re-final mock to have us taking McDowell in the first round, guy comes out a few hours later as a flat Earther on twitter...whelp, guess who's making a new mock next week.
Lots of great players still on the board, can't wait for tomorrow. I'm iffy on Perriman but i think he'll turn out just fine. Even if you don't like him just keep in mind that one player doesn't make or break a class. Just look at the Elam draft class, when you have a GM like Ozzie you will find players in all 7 rounds so don't get hung up on one in particular.
It's pretty funny/sad that if you go read articles about our first round pick grade or whatever, every other comment is about Perriman's hairline. I think he needs to ditch the dreads, they don't go well with the receding hairline, not like its a bad thing, yah can't control it, genetics suck sometimes
Seems like the unlikely star of the draft so far is Laken Tomlinson. Really hope the kid makes it, i think we saw the future "man of the year"
Glad DJ Foster is now going to play in the Senior Bowl, I'm interested in what he can do. He was supposed to be a big playmaker this year but his position change hurt him. I don't know whether we'd even think about drafting him, as a RB he doesn't provide anything more than Buck but if he can show some playmaking skills during the game he can increase his stock quite a bit.
Nobody ever questioned Torrey's character, he's a high class guy and no one can deny that. One can only assume that he wrote the open letter because he's already got a deal in place for Tuesday, it always sucks to see a familiar face go. All that being said i don't think Torrey (play wise) is irreplaceable, lets just hope that him leaving means we'll go WR high finally.
This is shaping up to be a crazy offseason - Ngata traded to the Lions, Jimmy Graham traded to the Seahawks, McCoy traded to the Bills - what the heck is going on?
If we wanted to look for a safety in FA - Titans cut Michael Griffin and I genuinely am not sure how much he'll go for.
