Instead of throwing away $6.5 million dollars for yet ANOTHER possession receiver clone that sat on the bench all year, they should have paid VDavis & Boone what they're worth. Now we have one of the more well rounded OLinemen on the team b***hing & whining about everything since then. Boone is one of the few guys on this team that can pass block AND run block well and he can play LT pretty well too in a pinch, so let's not forget that.

Boone can block? Were you watching any games last year? The guy whiffed on more pass protection than I can begin to count. How many times did we see Boone turn around and watch the guy he was supposed to block sack Kaepernick?

He knocked M Martin down when MM was pulling...does that count?
UNFORTUNATELY - As of right now, IMO, he's the only capable swing Tackle we have.

I hope Trent can work some magic in the draft and maybe w/a trade.

I think we can easily get a 3rd rounder for him.

Hes worth more then a 6th rounder... Boone didnt play last year bc of Boone. Id make him finish his contract unless there is a proper contract
And if he rides the bench, let him ride it,... it hurts him not us

, yes,, it would be dumb to trade him now,, keep him, let him enter the mix, if he gets beat out, then trade him or let him ride the bench. now if he gets to be a problem child in the locker room, then we have a different conversation

I think keeping him is fine because he will need to go hard to show other teams he's worth signing.

But at the same time we could get something for him before he becomes a free agent. I really think we weren't resigning him anyways so it's a matter of were we drafting help for the Oline this year or next.

I had us drafting Donovan Smith and that was with Boone staying with the team.

The Niners interviewed many potential OT's that could be moved to guard and Donovan Smith was one of them. He's a 2nd or 3rd rounder.
Boone and our first rounder to move up for Shelton or Parker?
will hold out again

TRADE HIM

Send this lazy bum away... Okoye will fill his spot
i really thought theyd trade him today. if he isnt 100% committed to the niners, trade him for picks. a young tallented guard should have some serious value

Trading Boone will be on day 2 or day 3 depending on his value if a trade occurs. He wasn't going to net a 1st so the trade would not have been today but day 2 or 3 we could see something happen

He could have been used as a kicker, along with the 9er first round pick, to move up. I really thought that might happen last night but evidently everyone in the world knew they wanted Armistead...so no need.

You may have valued Boone too highly then. Moving up in this draft from 15 was expensive enough to the point in which a player like Boone is but a drop in the bucket towards compensation. Now day 2 and 3 we might gain significant movement with a player of his talents but day 1 I didn't expect to get much mileage moving Boone
