That number 7 analysis had way better luck in the pros. Even the guys who weren't stand outs were something for a bit. Smith, Haden, Barron, Peterson are good. That is way better than 2/10 for the 28th pick. Roy William was very productive for a few years. Huff was productive as well for an extended period of time. Byron couldn't stay healthy long enough to do anything.

Gettlemen will get us someone good.  Don't you worry.  

 

I know it's a pipe dream but I flip out if we could sign and trade Hardy for a draft pick and then work some magic to somehow wind up with Sammy Watkins.  I'm a big tiger fan and I've watched almost every game he's played in.  That boy is a stud.

Interesting footnote to this, we traded up from the 31st pick to select Gamble 28th. 

 

Our trade partner was SF and they used the pick to select a guy named Rashaun Woods, who was a total bust. His rookie season he had 7 catches for 160 yards and a TD, then he tore some ligaments and spent 2005 on IR before being traded to SD where he was almost immediately cut. He spent a little time in NFL Europa and the CFL before his playing career ended and now he's  a H.S. football coach. 

 

The 49ers got our 4th round pick as additional compensation and used it to select another bust named Richard Seigler, who in 2007 was under investigation for his alleged involvement in a Las Vegas prostitution ring after he had been traded to the Steelers. 

 

So the moral of this story? Let's hope we can find a way to fleece SF again while selecting a quality player like Gamble.

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
