New England doesn't have our holes. NE selected two people in the third round, they could afford to do what you said we should do.
Now that the third is over for us, time to lock again.
In your opinion have these 3 picks really filled holes? I mean the NFL network had the CB going in the 6th. Just heard our QB might have fallen to the 3rd. Its all panic. I'd prefer no pick than a panic pick.
PLUS, since what I said about the lockout back on, if they allow a full stay it could 1 to 2 months until that is lifted. The harsh reality is that there might not be a season. If there is it won't be pretty for our team regardless on whether we address holes this year or next year.
Pass rusher, QB, and DB. Yes , yes, and yes, all three areas of need, so yes they filled holes.
kaepernick wasn't going in the third. And the DB, some had rated as third rounder others later, so... If you want to base your opinion solely on the NFL network that's fine, but just like professional scouts and GMs they miss on picks too.
And if there is no season, then exactly, what does it matter if we fill holes this year or next year. No one can say for certain that next years draft will be any better at our positions of need.
You made your point, you think we should have traded all of our picks and gone in to the season with the same team that got us to 6-10, and drafted nothing but pro bowlers next year. Well bad news, we didn't, we drafted a athletic young guy in the first three rounds. Water under the bridge now.
