I like the WRs next year...KB, Funch, Philly, and Ginn could be a helluva top 4 if the young guys keep progressing.  Cotch as a potential 5th is a wildcard...but we may also be in a position in the draft to take a home run shot on a guy like Braxton Miller and have a potentially young/crazy potential WR group.

Everyone is forgetting about Stephen Hill. He was having a great off season before the ACL. He has had a lot of time to bond with KB.

My issue with Hill is he's never proven that he can catch consistently. We've had enough of that. If the (normally) sure-handed Cotchery is gone, we need to replace his hands.

Re: the future. 

A few years ago the 9ers were considered perennial contenders that were absolutely stacked and had a ton of draft picks. So the 9ers drafted a lot of high reward/high risk guys that they could afford to sit for awhile. Now the 9ers had some bad luck and Jed York is a fuging idiot and fired Harbaugh BUT the 9ers are now in complete disarray because they wasted all of their draft picks on busts. 

The point I'm trying to make is Gettle is going to draft whoever can contribute to this team. He's always done that. Only exception I can think of is David Mayo.

So, I haven't dug too deep into it yet, but if the top TE prospect is available at 30 and he's the BPA on our board, would anyone think that DG wouldn't pull the trigger? I think the only BPA he wouldn't draft in round one is a QB or DT. 

No one predicted a LB last year in round one. Upgrading the backup TE position in round one this year is an interesting idea if the chips fall that way. 

I've definitely got the idea that another excellent TE prospect would be great to add to the team this year... give time for Greg to mentor the guy.

I do trust Gettleman...

BUT, ... it would be really hard to imagine taking another LB in round 1.   QB and LB are our positions of least need that I can see.  And also, as you said, at DT we're pretty solid.

I'd hope 1st round would go to the trenches (DE / OT), but could also be ok with CB, TE, or a truly top RB/FB prospect.

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
