Just saw the press conference he gave. What a great personality this kid has...I can see how he could've won the front office and Harbaugh over with his enthusiasm and love of the game. You get a sense this kid is ready to immerse himself in football and get himself ready to play/contribute on day one.

Oh, thanks. I'm sure sooner or later we will start seeing some press conferences/audio conferences from Jimmie and Stevie on 9ers.com. Can't wait to hear from them.

I believe Lamarcus Joyner will be a better NFL nickle back, attacking ball carriers and covering slots/slants than Ward.
With that said, I think Ward is a good pick to transition to a full-time corner position.
Now the niners can go after Joyner in the second or third round.

Despite his smaller frame, Joyner plays like he's 6-2 and 225 pounds,
Plays fast with natural acceleration to go from 0 to 60 in a flash
NFL scouts will be hard-pressed to find a better inch-for-inch defender in the country
The versatile defensive back has bounced between safety and cornerback most of his career,
but played mostly a cornerback role as a senior, seeing a lot of action as a nickel back covering the slot receiver.

the jimmie ward pick is looking even better and better with seattle adding another speed receiver in richardson.
