They retarded, they drafted two RB's

also don't understand

Arizona hit big and in areas of need, will be a great draft in a couple years.

With no one behind Bowman and Willis I'm shocked we didn't address the ILB stop.

The 49ers have Dan Skuta and Michael Wilhoite at linebacker and they just drafted Nick Moody. Larry Grant is still available as a free agent as well.

Wilhoite will be cut, Grant won't be resigned because of money and the fact that he got busted for PED, and must serve a 4 game suspension for anyteam that signs him in the regular season. Instead they will probably chance it with younger players and Skuta. Save the roster spot to develope the defense for the future.

I thought Wilhoite showed some good things last year. He's a good athlete and his previous experience at safety in college can only help him in coverage. The battle between him and Moody should be a good one in camp. Worst case scenario is the 49ers sign Grant and deal with his suspension. I have never seen Skuta play, but I am not worried about the inside linebacker positions since there is so much talent in the front seven. The 49ers will be able to cover up the flaws of a guy like Skuta if he has to start a few games.

Haven't seen a 49ers draft class this deep since 1986, and I feel we might see similar results in the end; at least 4 of these guys will be on the team in 5 years, and at least 4 will be pro bowlers.

Did anyone else laugh when they booed goodell every time?

Tried to find out from scouts why Sharrif Floyd fell in the draft. Can't find one reason. He just kinda did. So many like him as a player

Anyone else like the Panthers draft?

They should be a good defense right up the middle.

Never know with two rookies, or three. May take a few years for them to develop, or they may never develop at a higher level. But they certainly threw their limited number of picks in that direction.
