I love it. 49er front office went and got the guy they wanted in Anthony Davis, who I think has the most upside of any OT in the draft. He has issues with weight and motivation, but that's why we have Singletary.
Damn skippy that is just what Anthony Davis needs a a coach like Singletary to light a fire under him
Iupati is the best guard in the draft too. If these two guys pan out, along with Joe Staley, we'll have a top 3 O-Line for years to come. No more having Baas and Snyder sitting there like turnstiles while DT's blow past them.
Our 3rd down conversion rate was 29% last year. These guys will vastly improve that statistic and will give our D a bit more rest. If we had a couple 3rd down conversions last year, we would have beat Houston, Green Bay, maybe Indy and definitely Minnesota. Instead, we give the ball to Favre and end up on highlight reels for the rest of the season.
I would have loved to get a guy like Earl Thomas, Joe Haden or Kyle Wilson, but this draft is deep for CB and I think we'll get some combination of Perrish Cox/Joe Murphy/Nate Allen in the 2nd/3rd round.
I am hoping we can sign Atogwe when free agency starts too.
:nanner:
Now I'm thinking if the 49ers can get a few more good picks and maybe a late still they could really do damage in the NFC West
This is it for Smith. He has the weapons. He's going to have the protection. He needs to get it done or he's done. The thing that bugs me though, the 49ers are going to be in the playoffs this year. 100% guarenteed. Seattle sucks. St Louis sucks and Arizona lost everybody. We're winning the division. If Smith shits the bed, I don't want our playoff appearance to hide that fact. We'll make the playoffs in spite of him, not because of him. If he plays great (which I think he will) than sweet. If he sucks, time for Nate Davis to get some reps. He's the 2nd coming of McNabb, but more accurate and a bigger arm. And if the 49ers aren't sold on him either, next year is the year to draft a QB. Jacoby Harris, Nathan Enderle, Kellen Moore, Ryan Mallett, Case Keenum, Andy Dalton, Greg McElroy and Jake Locker are all eligible next season.
I think Singletary is going to run a more balanced offense. He wants a power running game, but he's not so naive that he won't pass the ball. Smith had success last year in the shotgun and Sing will continue with that. Crabtree and Davis are two of our biggest play makers. He has to get the ball in their hands, and he will.
Anyway.
Tebow to Denver? In the 1st round? McDaniels must be trying to get fired. :1orglaugh I like what he's doing though. Building a class organization with people that will give 100% and getting rid of the whiners. I hope McDaniels is around long enough to see his dream come to fruition.
I think the Vikings will take Clausen with their pick in the 2nd. And if they don't, Clausen won't fall past Oakland. Guarenteed.
Anybody else think San Diego reached for Ryan Matthews?
Not really they need a bigger back don't get me wrong Sproles is good but now they have a little thunder with their lightning
Lots of quality players left for round 2. Sergio Kindle, Taylor Mays, Rob Gronkowski, Jonathan Dwyer, Thaddeus Gibson, Bruce Campbell etc.
It is bed time. :wave2:
