Round 1, #7, the San Francisco 49ers selects Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri

NFL.com coverage said Patriots were high on Aldon Smith for their pick... not a bad sign.

Mark Ingram is still the Board.... I hope the 49ers must jump to draft him?!! plsss

Anyone who wasn't sitting around masturbating to photos of Amukamara, Blaine Gabbert and Quinn isn't really all that upset about this. Smith is a great pick, who's going to have good coaching that will be able to exploit his immense physical talents.

This thread reminds me why I stopped coming here (and it's the first one I've read since coming back).

No way, 49ers should have traded back to the 3rd round and drafted him there.

I have no problem with the pick at all, we needed a pass rusher, perfect.

He will be better than Von Miller.

WHy do we as fans have to b***h and complain and act as if we know better than professionals who do this for a living?

Why can't we just accept that we picked a very talented and good player at a position of HIGH NEED, and be excited for the season?

The more I see Amukamara slide the more i think we should trade up.

Looks like an anorexic manny Lawson!

Manny Lawson was 6'5" and 240 lbs. when he came out.

Aldon Smith is 6'4" and 263....and growing.

Not comparable at all.

I agree it. Aldon Smith is not compared to manny lawson.. Aldon Smith is very young at Soph if he is stay in college for next year then probably the top #3?.. cuz my rare friends think that.. i was like.. hmm.. wait and see.. honestly.. i am very shock and what!! cuz the 49ers draft him.. i just accept it and no matter what.. i feel like mature enough anyway..

It's simple. The 49ers DO NOT HAVE A PASS RUSH. End of story. LOL! Everyone is hammering Baalke but this is absolutely 100% what Fangio saw on film AND his comments about our starting so-called outside LBs. Just because you arm-chair GMs didn't scout this guy, that's up to you. Clearly Prince is over-rated because we're not the only team passing on him.

Again, the 49ers will be stronger at the LOS.

Clearly Aaron Rogers is overrated cuz 21 teams passed on him.

23 teams....he was a number 24 pick....

I'm with it! It's an insider pick not a mainstream pick.

Going up against Nate Solder and others in his first year.

He might be a better pass rusher, but he'll definitely be a better all around player.
