THE draft thread (2013 version)

[pbmax]

I will bet dollars to doughnuts that both those OL move to Guard and someone will try to unseat EDS at center. The first guy might get some backup time at Tackle.

Unless either Sherrod or Bulaga or not actually healthy.

We need to dig up some old draft threads.

that would be fun
You would fine I hated the Aaron Rodgers pick.....loved the AJ Hawk pick, wanted Michael Crabtree, was not excited about Derrick Justine Harrel Sherrod, and was luke warm at best on Nick Perry

[woodbuck27]

I'm guessing Starks is probably gone now.

Even as we post Starks is calling his MOM and informing her of an impending move>>>

Mom there's an upside...

I'll no longer be eating out at Applebee's.

Per JSO - They traded away their fifth round, 146th overall pick and their sixth round, 173 overall pick.

probably a good deal for GB

[Bretsky]

If Lacy is an injury prone medical wreck this pick is even better

[run pMc]

Relax - America has 400 million FA's to choose from.

LOL true. Just getting a little punchy from too much coffee and TT drafting RB's. This has been a nutty draft, which I suppose is typical Thompson.

Now if he can do something about

OLB behind Perry (he'll probably just bring in 4 UDFA's)
WR since we lost two and JJones will be a FA
DT since Pickett is about 94 years old and Raji will be a FA
and maybe S since Burnett is the closest thing we have to that

The reason I liked Schwenke so much is his ability to excel at Center first and could play OG. I'm not a fan of EDS

SAN FRANCISCO.....just picked Marcus Lattimore....................

[RashanGary]

I love this draft!!

Time to draft Rontez Miles and make my draft week

[woodbuck27]

The Damn 49ers do it again>>>

WR Quinton Patton is now a 49er>>That team is killing this draft.

Good place for him. They can afford to wait for him to rehab. I'm happy for him.

+1

I think Tretter will be the competition for EDS. It sounds like people expect Bakhtiari to move inside to guard (I do too) but I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to compete for a spot as backup swing tackle. I could see it as an insurance/depth pick.

[Brandon494]

What the hell? J.Franklin?
Does Thompson think Ross and Boykin are going to be the answer at WR? I get drafting OL, but draft a WR already!

We did pretty well without Jennings for most of last season and Aaron Rodgers was our 2nd leading rusher last season. TT knows what he is doing, a good running game takes the pressure off of Rodgers which is something he has yet to have in his career.

[wist43]

Franklin is okay player - doesn't improve us much, as we already had Harris.

I don't like Lacy much, but he's probably better than Cedric Benson, but not by much.

How do those 2 picks catch us up to the bullies?? They're roster churning replacements for bottom feeder guys that TT has on the conveyor belt out of town; and for bottom feeder replacement guys - Benson and Harris look a lot like Lacy and Franklin.

Even if they're okay players - it's a waste - b/c Benson and Harris produced good enough. Why spend a 2nd and a 4th+ on players who are about the same as the guys they're replacing - while at the same time, you have other areas of the roster that are a complete joke??
