The NFL Sets Up a Sunday to Remember

Jan 15, 2014 at 7:45 AM--


Peyton Manning and Tom Brady one more time with the Super Bowl on the line would have been good enough all by itself.But in the embarrassment of riches that is the NFL this season, we get more. Much more.Two young superstar quarterbacks in the making squaring off in Seattle. Wes Welker against the team that wanted him no longer, and Anquan Boldin taking his new team on another championship run. A sideshow with Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh that might be worth the price of admission by itself.And a Super Bowl that will be a winner even if it's played on a sheet of ice.If this was the NBA, David Stern would have been accused of having the fix in. But it's just more of the same for the NFL, where the story lines and matchups are so good that it's almost a foregone conclusion next Sunday's TV ratings will blow past anything seen before for conference title games that are always big.About the only thing missing is a scrappy team of underdogs fighting for a berth in the Super Bowl, but there's no reason to quibble. Not with the brawny quartet of teams that all went into the weekend as favorites and all survived to play another day.The bookies in Vegas are laying odds — as they...

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

The latest mock draft comes from Charles Davis, who has San Francisco addressing the offensive line, strengthening a unit that showed inconsistency last season. Davis predicts the 49ers will choose former Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton with their first selection. "The 49ers' offense will flourish as long as HC Kyle Shanahan is diagramming plays, and this agile former tight end has a chance to plug in
