Absolutely! All of the Madden experts on here we're so confused how we could pick a short white LB with less than 80 spd!

Judging a rookie after a handful of games is as questionable as assuming that a draft pick will certainly bust.
the offenses have taken notice of him and will try to take him out of the game. If he responses to it as it is still his first game, nice. If not, then the experts were not that wrong.

We still hadn't taken a WR and we could have gotten Donte Moncreif who many thought would be gone in rd 2.
Borland might still have been there at #94 and if not there were other good ILB's on the board. He looks like a special teams player and depth and the other I mentioned project as very possible future starters as well as depth. Borland is short, slow and on the NFL site is described as having T-REX arms. Can't see him replacing Willis down the line. JMO
How you feeling now...........

Like I later said, great pick. I was going off scouting reports when I questioned us drafting him but obviously after seeing him play he is loaded with intangables that make him a special player. I am surprised the scouting reports didn't mention how much better he was than his so called measurables. Glad the scots for the 49ers did their homework and realised how good he would be for us.
