Was channeling my inner susweel there. I haven't seen enough of N.C. State to really make any sort of determination on him, but as you mentioned, he has some nice measurables. He's had some very good games from what I can see, shut down Campanaro, seems to have have done well against slot receivers, certainly has good size for a safety.

Innocent question, as I thought Desir would be a steal at this pick. Why'd we take Johnson over Desir?

Desir wasn't there. 2 picks earlier to the Browns

#49ers agreed to terms on a deal with 4th-rd pick CB Donate Johnson, per source.

#49ers Dontae Johnson would be fourth pick to sign. Eight more to go

I remember what an adventure signings used to be and how long of a process it could be, since the new CBA they've streamlined the heck out of it.

I like him as a developmental guy and his size and athleticism are what got him picked in the 4th. In terms of on-the-field value, he was probably a late 5th. I liked his measurables, but Johnson gave up inside leverage too often. He will definitely need to be coached up. He is a case of a player who the 49ers will try to develop at CB and if he doesn't work out there, he will likely wind up moving to safety.

Right. There used to be no reason to sign early, because the longer you wait, the more desperate the team gets.
Crabtree would be a free agent this year if his stupid agent hadn't screwed up his rookie year contract negotiations, and Parker is STILL his agent? Obviously, neither of them are the sharpest knifes in the drawer. The fact the Parker was not punished for this act, is discouraging, because it implies that he did nothing wrong with the hold-out, when in fact, he has cost his client money.
