You just spent a 5th round pick on a TE and he doesn't even make the team. Waste of a 5th round pick. And with your free agent WR pick ups we're back to square one.

I don't think the top free agent WR will go for what Balke is going to offer them. Royal upgrades Ginn on offense and almost as much on special teams. Add in Morgan coming back with drafting Quick and Fleener I think that is far from square 1. Dunsmore wouldn't be there to play TE. No I dont think we can convert any player to play any position, but with his skillset and the 49ers runningback coaching I could see him doing well. He looked really good at the combine catching passes and showing good power. I don't see it as that far a strech going from playing TE and FB in college to a short yardage back.

why draft a TE in 5th round to convert him to RB? i know we did that with miller, but there will be plenty of descent RBs avaible to pick. Although i like royal and quick, that doesnt upgrade our WRs much. quick has potential but we cant expect him to be a heavy contributer season 1. royal is an upgrade over ginn as far as WR goes, but not much of an upgrade. i also doubt anyone will give up a 2nd for grant, but i am hopeful as well.

sorry homie but this is a mess. So the Eagles would give up a 2nd rounder for Larry Grant instead of just singing Stephen Tulloch or Curits Lofton?
