They could use an OT too though, and an OT would be less of a reach.Originally posted by Fred's Slacks
I don't know how the Raji hype machine has grown so far out of control, he's no better of a prospect than Vince or Casey were, both of them went around #20. Haloti was a better prospect, and he went #12.
The top level talent in this draft sucks. If Raji is a top 5 pick, and he's no better than a #20 pick in years past, that is terrible.

if raji is gone i think we should try and drop back just a few spots and try and grab tyson jackson
then maybe hope ron brace is there in the second, or try and get sammie lee hill in the third
we really need help on the d-line, and now option c has signed with the texans (javon haye)
now if we get olshanski, that would change thingsComment

I'm still holding out hope for Maybin. He's too much like Ware to ignore.Comment

i would have loved ngata, if he was in this draft we would definatley be talking about him like we are raji right now (going high up). he was just in a draft that looked stacked at the top when it happenedOriginally posted by WaldoComment

you think, i've heard nothing but crappy things about him the last few weeks, like he wouldn't be good at OLB. and it sounds like he had a very bad combineOriginally posted by Waldo
but i've never watched him playComment

And by Waldo's admission he's at least a year project ... I don't think we can draft a "project" in the first round but BPA could definitely dictate that.Originally posted by redComment

He ran a bad 40 at the combine (just about everyone did later in the weekend, can't ignore the effect of a new fieldturf field to run on). If he runs fast enough (sub 4.80) at his pro day, IMO he's the best OLB prospect in the draft by a good margin. For pass rushers the vert, not the 40, is the important one, for linebackers the 40/shuttle differential (change of direction speed) is more important than the 40. I've found (at least in the defensive front 7) that there is a minimum threshold for fast enough on the 40, once beyond that threshold there is little advantage to being faster unless the dude is ridiculously fast, which nobody in this draft is.Originally posted by red
Other than the 40, the vert, the shuttle, the broad, the LB drills, he looked like one of the best. He's the most well rounded of the bunch. Orakpo is a little bit stronger and more explosive, but looked bad in the LB drills, Brown looked the best in the LB drills but has zero explosion, Maybin was just below Orakpo in the explosion drills and just below Brown in the LB drills, and has a better frame than both of them.
Barwin overall had the best combine for OLB, but he's a few years away from being a reliable contributor, having only played 1 season of defensive football at a high level, even then Cincy doesn't play agaisnt the best competition. Maybin made his hay by regularly beating Big 10 LT's.Comment

Damn.....I just heard that Warner could be close to signing with the 49ers. I have to admit I haven't paid that much attention as to what other teams have been doing other than the great Sage trade that the Vikings pulled off but this kind of surprised me.C.H.U.D.Comment

You got it Mish. Even if Seattle goes OT, that could mean that someone like Oak. or Jax who would have gone OT guy now takes Raji ahead of us.Originally posted by missionCan't speak for homeboy but that was my take on itOriginally posted by Fred's Slacks
KC addressing their QB and Seattle with WR are both bad for us as far as I see it.Comment

Goddamn.
In the who gives a shit, but it sure is wierd, dept....
Denver just signed ANOTHER FA.
The Denver Broncos agreed to a two-year, $5 million contract with San Francisco 49ers free agent defensive tackle Ronald Fields, according to a league source. The 6-foot-2, 315-pound defensive lineman played in all 16 games last season. He was credited with 19 tackles, according to NFL.com.
I think Denver has lost it. They may become the first team to turn over the whole roster in the off-seasonComment
