I Love This Draft


Ruff

Recommended Posts

At first glance, I wasn't so happy with the Luke Kuechly pick, but, I was glad it wasn't Quinton Coples. As the time wore on, and I thought about the situation, I realized how much I absolutely loved the Kuechly pick, and how he will be an instant upgrade to our LB corp, making it one of the best in the NFL. Whether be plays Will or Mike, he will provide an immediate impact to our team, and give James Anderson a break for a while, allowing him to make plays outside of the box.

(I do think that Kuechly will be the Mike, moving Beason outside to the Will. It will allow Kuechly to play coverage over the middle, allow Beason to prowl one side of the field, and blitz like a mad-man.)

Then, we took Silatolu. I definitely did not like the pick, especially since Tru Johnson was still on the board. However, I thought about it last night, and I realized that, if Silatolu is as good as everyone thinks he is, our left side of the offensive line is going to be mean, and it needs to be. We need to protect Cam's blindside. We need to protect him. Silatolu gives us someone who will solidify that position for ten years, becoming an anchor to the line. Good pick.

Everyone freaked out about the trade for Frank Alexander, but I love it. He has been cleared to play, no heart conditions. One of the analysts said it was all Riley Reiff could do to hold him off. He's fast from what I've seen, he has an impact, and Hurney said he could come in and play immediately. Also, he gives us a guy to light a fire underneath Hardy's ass. No more motorcycle accidents, Kraken, it's time you get to playin', or else Alexander's going to be starting.

Then we get to Joe Adams. Mother of God. This guy. He's an absolute monster. He can return punts, kicks, play slot receiver, play running back, it doesn't really matter. He can do it all. I honestly think he'll be Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is that kind of special. He has fumbled 11 times in his career, but, some of those are counted as muffed punts early in his career. I wouldn't worry about it. He's going to be a monster in the NFL. The next Percy Harvin, but without the migraines.

Then comes Josh Norman. I heard the only reason he didn't go in the 2nd round, was because he's from such a small school. But, he gives size to our DBs, he's fast, and has really long arms. He apparently is a special teams monster, too (he blocked 4 kicks in his career). He's friends with Mike Tolbert, and he played High School ball with Armanti. So, he has some friends coming into the team, which generates good chemistry.

Now, all we need is Drew Butler and BPA, and we're going to be stacked for next year.

i agree on everything, except the part of josh norman, not him as a player but friends? yeah tolbert will be here not AE lol but i really liked kuechly and he is who i wanted the entire time anyway, i was interested in a guard and wanted zeitler but he didnt drop everything looks good on the guy we picked. our day 3 has been great.

Funny you say that. Joe Adams actually does have a history of migraines.

    • I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.     
    • This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.
