a stab at niners draft

Nice draft but i thought Patterson was considered a top 15 pick?

lol no way Patterson drops to 34

if anything, the Niners would have to trade up just to be in that respective target range of where he'd go

Good call on the Dexter McCoil pick. He's a sleeper, but man did he have ton of INTs (18 if I recall correctly). Shows he has a nose for the ball.

Would get no complaints from me, if this were the outcome.

Rumor has it he was an arrogant d*ck in his combine interviews and pissed a lot of teams off. Other rumors suggest that he is not a student of the game, and not particularly mentally sharp, so he could struggle to learn NFL offenses. He might have to be a "slant/drag guy" for a year or go to a team that can afford to redshirt him, but only IF the rumors are true.

He also has Alex smith hands and short arms. That's not a rumor. I actually don't want him, but the teams get to know way more about the guys than we do, and I'd be down if HarBaalke decided he was the guy.

pick 252 craig roh de michigan has some athleticsm, could develop potential serving on practice squad

If we are going to develop a raw athlete at DE, I'd rather go with that Okoye freak. More Boom/Bust, but that boom could be insane. I'd just spend camp and preseason teaching him pass rush, and develop him for run downs through the season. Let him get some reps in preseason games, and he'll get owned on run plays, so no one steals him off the waiver wire when we go to stash him on the PS on cutdown day. A full year with Tomsula could get that guy oin the field next year. He went from Novice to Olympian in the discus in 2 years. I coached discus, and that is NOT easy to learn. Dude must have wild athletic instincts.
