I have him rated above both Harvin and Heyward-Bey and I'll go a step further and say he's the most NFL ready WR in the draft. And please let Donald Brown slip to the Cards.

Avernus Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Not sure you can set in stone anything with the Eagles 1st round pick considering they might go after Boldin. I don't see Andy Reid trading away his only 1st round pick for a WR that has trouble staying healthy....I am now convinced that the Eagles are out of the Boldin sweepstakes after the Peters trade....

He was healthy last year. The hit he took had nothing to do with being injury prone. That hit would have knocked ANYONE out.

Bronco Billy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If McDaniels selects a CB with the 12th pick of the draft, he'd better look into a Kevlar vest for his dog.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF409ers Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I find it amazing that most every SF homer I know or have read don't think it's even a remote possibility the 49ers pick Sanchez yet most mocks I see have them taking him. I guess it's the lazy (easy) pick for people to make. I will say this again They are not going to draft a QB I would love to hear why anyone thinks the new regime is going to spend a top pick on an already somewhat risky QB prospect just 4 years removed from drafting Alex Smith with the amount of glaring holes they have and the fact they are both on the hot seat so to speak. They can't afford to draft a guy who won't make an immediate impact, especially another QB, who if fails, would be a devastating blow to that organization, sorry just don't see it happening. If Oher is sitting there at 10 they won't pass him and in fact I wouldn't be shocked come draft day to see both QB's slide right out of the top 10.

Yeah, that is one of the picks I am not sold on yet either. It does seem to fit well and it seems to be a very popular pick. I am not ruling out Peria Jerry or Everette Brown there.

Like I said, it's the lazy pick. If you actually think it through a little, QB is probably the least likely of picks for the 49ers at #10. Especially a guy like Sanchez, makes no sense at all If he is there at #10 they will do their best to trade down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is going to turn out to be Alex Smith. Just think we had three QB's go in the top 11, in 2004. All of them are doing just fine. The 49ers got a bad break with Alex Smith. I can actually say I told you so to them because I had Aaron Rogers going at #1. They just need to move forward. They screwed my entire mock draft up and I am over it.

It has nothing to do with letting it go, it has to do with common sense and knowing the pressure the new GM / HC are under. I can't for the life of me see them taking him. I just find it interesting that most with a pulse on the franchise don't think this will happen yet it seems to be a very popular pick for most non homers in mocks. Anyways, we shall soon find out and if they do I will eat my crow and move on as I have every year for almost the last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 SF will take Sanchez if he is available at 10. I would be VERY surprised if they take Sanchez. +1 Mike needs players that he can mold. That QB isn’t on the team right now. Mike is also a defensive coach, and the last thing on his mind right now is the QB position. The problem with the 49ers last year was within the trenches (on both sides of the ball), and to a certain degree, in the secondary (although a lot of their secondary "issues" were more defensive-line related than the secondary itself). Put it this way... the 49ers can be successful as early as THIS YEAR if they address the lack of pass rush and improve the offensive line, with Shaun Hill at QB (who was 5-2 last year as a starter). If they draft Sanchez (or Stafford, or whoever) and go into week 1 of the season with relatively the same players on O- and D-Line, they're going to be worse than last year, not better. Singletary realizes this, and although his job of improving the Niners is a work in progress, it's not something where he's going to be satisfied looking for improved results two years from now... Upper management wants results sooner than that. Drafting a QB at #10 really puts that plan in jeopardy, in my opinion (and I believe Mike's opinion as well). Why? Drafting a QB at 10 is much safer than at #1. Let it go, man. Not everyone is going to turn out to be Alex Smith. Just think we had three QB's go in the top 11, in 2004. All of them are doing just fine. The 49ers got a bad break with Alex Smith. I can actually say I told you so to them because I had Aaron Rogers going at #1. They just need to move forward. They screwed my entire mock draft up and I am over it. There's nothing that needs to be "let go." More importantly, whether they draft a QB in the first round this year has very little to nothing to do with Alex Smith. It's about need, and what issues must be addressed the most, and with the biggest sense of urgency. Again, I don't think it's in the Niners' best interest to spend their top pick on a guy who will hold a clipboard for the first year or two with the team. Singletary is not only smarter than that, he's got too much to risk by doing so. And, trust me, they're not going to draft someone with that pick unless they have 100% of Singletary's approval. It has nothing to do with letting it go, it has to do with common sense and knowing the pressure the new GM / HC are under. I can't for the life of me see them taking him. I just find it interesting that most with a pulse on the franchise don't think this will happen yet it seems to be a very popular pick for most non homers in mocks. Anyways, we shall soon find out and if they do I will eat my crow and move on as I have every year for almost the last decade. I'll take a nice big helping of that crow right along with you if we're wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 By the way, my opinion is nothing more than that, an opinion... I don't claim to have "insider" information, so when I say they won't take Sanchez, it's based primarily on the fact that I (and obviously SOME others) don't think it is at all the right pick for them to make. I tend to think that the SF organization agrees, but I could be wrong. I am not a SF fan, but I do live in the area and listen (sometimes unfortunately) to WAY too much SF sports talk radio. Either way, my argument is not intended to be an attack against those that believe they will take him... Don't take it the wrong way. I find it enjoyable to debate, but could really care less who they take, as it's not my team. I do agree with SF409ers, though... It's crazy to me that so many mocks are predicting the same thing, when that's absolutely the wrong way to go, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ive got to think that if the patriots grab a safety in the 2nd round....theyll go with rashad johnson over william moore....theres the nick saban pipeline...and saban has described him as one of the smartest players hes ever coached....but who knows....the patriots still like james sanders enough to resign him....but they do like to roll the 3 safety look....which would make johnson or someone like sean smith an interesting target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
