Favorite 49er Selection from 2017 Draft

obviously I am psyched we landed Thomas AND Foster , but Witherspoon is an interesting prospect, he has the size and physical skills to smother receivers and potentially dominate , yes he is raw and needs some fine tuning , but he could be molded into an aggressive CB that QB's shy away from throwing at , we have Robinson and Johnson who I see starting at CB to start the season , with Williams and Redmond as our slot corners , and Witherspoon could work his way into the lineup by mid season , a 6"3 CB that can run with faster receivers is a great asset for our defense

I wouldn't be mad, but if Hyde is seen as someone that's not gonna be around next year.. then I'd like to trade him asap, I don't wanna let him go for free. We wouldn't get a comp pick cause we'll sign a player or two next year most likely.

Foster, only cuz he fell so far.

The chance of him getting hurt tho is almost inevitable so, I get your point.

Whiterspoon and Williams, later round picks that I think will turn into great players for us.

But keeping can easily be a great decision and can perhaps get further compensation if he has a breakout year or atleast another 987+ yard season lol.

Man, if he stays healthy (big if tho), then hell yea, up the ante. I bet he'll be sick af if he doesn't get hurt, we'll have a dope as run game with the new depth.

Akello Witherspoon

He's Richard Sherman with actual man to man cover skills

Yeah dude, he's staying.. lol. The thought of him and Williams becoming a sick RB tandem is the type of ish we've seen before with a good D, and a good game manager can do ;) I was just playing mental madden in my head lol. I wonder I wonder how much the transition tag is for RBs?

Lets be reasonable.

He is reasonable, that is his name.

I still say; wait till you see Solomon Thomas in action.

Man, this is a tough one. I've always been a big underdog guy myself; love the human story. And I love spotting diamonds in the rough like Brooks, Big Trenton, Robinson, etc. So keeping with that theme, your best story is Pita.

This dude has come from a foreign country, is raw but has massive upside. He's as humble and as hard working as it gets. And he just so happens to be playing a critical position within our defense...the Elephant. And because he'll be asked to just seek-n-destroy in pass rush downs, he'll be able to just play and use his God-given ability and instincts while learning from players like Lynch, Brooks, Elvis, etc.

He just might surprise. Another good one is D.J. Jones.

I love a good underdog story.

Maybe our average joes will surprise people and get more prime TV spots on ESPN 8 so I can actually watch them
