This is a very deep draft defensively...if anything we should be brokering more picks. I wouldnt be completely shocked if we traded away our first round pick to be honest
-
LOL i forgot Redding was there, he's been everywhere smh...
-
Bob Sanders was 5 foot 8. I agree, the height issue doesn't mean much.
Most fans have seen Bob Sanders in real life...I had the fortunate opportunity of gettin a media pass during the Colts Falcons game in 2007 and met Bob Sanders....I'm 6'2" 270 with mostly muscle...but to say that Bob Sanders is huge/intimidating would be an understatement...he's small like pipe bomb is small ....The "Honey Badger" is no Bob Sanders......
-
I disagree...he's kinda small for the position.
-
I don't agree with Blackmon...maybe before Gabbert got hurt, but since Henne's been starting he's been showing the guy some love...
Coples was considered a risky pick...a stupid pick because he's a head case
Shea McClellan...but hes on a D full of studs so that's not completely fair
Dontari Poe definitely....and to think i was a fan...def just a workout warrior
AJ Jenkins was a strange pick for the first round
David Wilson was too
-
Heard seems like he might be crazy and thats why he's been moved from team to team....buddy is talented...but seriously somethings wrong with him
-
Hilarious....but I didnt like the Andrew Luck posts because it seems too accurate....
mod edit

I want to write a tender 4-paged letter to Grigs to requesting that he picks up Ray Ray Armstrong...the defect from Miami he's a 6-4 Safety that got booted off the team for taking money from boosters...Kid was a monster in college was okay at The U..he's more of a project a la Vontaze Burfict but I think Pagano could coach him up...def a 6-7th round pick...but his size and speed can't be ignored.

We need solid Guards at this point. Thats clearly our weakness...
-
Top OLine Free Agents include:
Jake Long (MIA) - OT - A year ago, Joe Thomas set a new standard for offensive tackles with a 7-year, $84 million contract. The Dolphins are not expected to allow one of the best tackles in the league walk, but with a franchise tag number 120% of his cap number this year, $15.4 million will give Jake Long some leverage in negotiations.
Ryan Clady (DEN) - OT - After several seasons as one of the better left tackles in the league, Clady's is on his expiring rookie contract. After turning down a 5-year, $50 million offer from the Broncos prior to this season, there is some indication that he's looking for something more in the Joe Thomas ballpark. It's unlikely the Broncos, or any other team, will be willing to go that high, but if his demands persist, it brings the franchise tag into play.
Branden Albert (KC) - OT - Albert is among the best all-around left tackles in the league today. With the Chiefs emphasis on the run game and returning to the dominant offensive line that made them offensive powerhouses early last decade, even an offseason with other key free agents ready to hit the market, Albert should get his payday in red.
Sebastian Vollmer (NE) - OT - After a back injury that cost him most of the 2011 season, Vollmer returns to the starting lineup in 2012. He'll be 29 prior to the start of the next season and just coming off his rookie contract. When healthy, Vollmer has been among the league's best right tackles. If they can trust him to remain healthy, they will make a play for him.
Brandon Moore (NYJ) - OG - Though Moore will be 33 when the 2013 season begins, he may also be the best offensive guard on the market. With a Jets offensive line that was not too long ago the best in the league, they are now a unit that has felt pain attempting to replace former starters. Losing a player of Moore's caliber on the line could be devastating to an offense that has struggled to form an identity and develop even a sign of consistency.
Andy Levitre (BUF) - OG - Starting every game of his career so far, Levitre's versatility and consistency has brought tremendous value to the organization over the past couple years. With a healthy offensive line the Bills have found terrific success in running the ball with Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, and even Tashard Choice. Keeping this unit intact will be important for the Bills offense.
Andre Smith (CIN) - OT - Though the former 6th overall pick probably hasn't lived up to his expectations, Smith has developed into an effective right tackle for the Bengals. Though Cincinnati would probably have to search for another right tackle if he moves on, but generally these high draft picks have a way of not staying with their original team if they don't pan out all the way. Weight is a concern, but Smith could be one of the more realistic possible options in free agency.
Sam Baker (ATL) - OT - Over the last year or two, Sam Baker has been battling a chronic injury and Will Svitek for a starting job. At full health, Baker has been an effective left tackle for the Falcons. At less than full health, he's been a borderline liability. Baker is an example of the type of player every year where his own team has the best injury read on him. If the Falcons can trust his health, they will trust signing him to a solid second contract.

Angerer shouldnt be starting.....but once we have someone competing for Freeney's spot we should be impressive. I WILL say we have the Deepest LB Corps in the league most definitely
-
He's 32.....NEXT!!!
-
Why is this a surprise? I didnt think he was every going to play this year BA even hinted at it...the setback might be extremely minor but they want to treat the whole situation extremely cautious
-
Suh is going to want to bully Luck all day....I hope the OLine isn't on that Suh crap...
-
Doesn't it seem as if things are setting up for a Colts Broncos matchup???? The NFL/WWE Theory strikes again!
-
I like Matthews, I prefer Fili of course but Matthews will do well.
-
You can disagree all you want, but that still won't change the fact that their entire offense is predicated on screen passes and dump offs. He does throw the ball downfield some, but not even close to what Luck has to do in our offense.
That's the point.....it's not a fact......just because he checks down doesnt make it a dink OR dunk....he throws the ball downfield quite a bit and hes successful at it....
-
RGIII doesnt dink and dunk down the field...he has a legitimate arm....I'm a Colts fan all day but enough with the lies.....
-
Knowing that Pagano is an ex-DC (for just 1 year, he has been secondary coach longer) and that Arians has more experience coaching in the NFL as a co-ordinator, I am definitely leaning towards Arians here.
I think when Chuck gets back at it next year Manusky needs to be removed from the mix and they work like that....
-
We really dont have playoff talent...we have huge holes in the D and O Line....I think we're winning off of sheer will...Im fine with that for now, We will make the needed improvements in the offseason
-
Most of our offensive talent is being used improperly or has been on and off, thats not going to change under Arians,
Agreed...as much as I like Arians, I def agree.....
-
Fairley is def better than Suh....
-
Why can't Fleener be our big guy??? He reminds me of Jordy Nelson...I really feel like his being used improperly
-
Since they came up in this Discussion.... are the TWO Smiths on the 49ers REALLY RELATED????
Yeah same father different mother......

There are much better safeties in this draft...he'll be a low round pick more of a project. I wouldnt be surprised if Grigs picked him up because i think the draft strategy, a lot like this year, will be singularly focused.
