Official San Francisco 49ers Off-Season Thread (5-7): Let's get ready for the Draft!

[Los Angeles]

Niners select: curtis taylor s/lsu

 

[100proof]

The 49ers have picked in six rounds. Why haven't they picked an outside linebacker? Why haven't they picked an offensive tackle?

Well, the 49ers had the chance to pick an offensive tackle that could have filled that need. With two picks in front of them in the first round, the 49ers had decided on either receiver Michael Crabtree or tackles Eugene Monroe and Michael Oher.



The Jaguars took Monroe at No. 8, and the Packers selected B.J. Raji with the ninth pick. The 49ers didn't have to give it much thought before selecting Crabtree over Oher.



When asked if the 49ers thought about moving back into the first round to select the dropping Oher, Singletary said they were unable to do it. "It would've cleaned us out on the back end," he said.



Singletary said the 49ers opted against selecting a tackle or an outside linebacker in the five rounds after that because they did not see anyone at those positions that would've served as an upgrade. So the 49ers selected players they deemed as better fits at running back (Glen Coffee), inside linebacker (Scott McKillop), quarterback (Nate Davis) and tight end (Bear Pascoe).



Singletary said the team would look at the board and either the players at OLB or OT that they may have wanted had already been selected. The players available "did not fit into what we're doing," he said.



So the 49ers have Parys Haralson and Manny Lawson at outside linebacker. Behind those player is not a lot of depth.


Said Singletary, "I'm confident somehow, someway, we'll get what we need."

Thank you

i made this post in the uniform changes thread too, but I figured I'd post here too

I was really excited to see the niners go back to the old jerseys, and I have to say I'm really disappointed. It comes down to 3 things (this will seemreally anal to most people, but I'm overly picky about aesthetics). here's a comparison, the '08 alternate is what I was hoping for, it's aperfect replica of the old montana era jerseys

classic jerseys

'08 alternates

comparison

1. the helmet logo didn't go back to the old one

the old version is so much cleaner, the extra gold circle and the diagonal shadow on the sf clutter it

2. tv numbers on top of the shoulder instead of on the upper arm. if this was the only change, it wouldn't be that bad, but I don't know why theymessed with it all

3. 49ers wordmark on the chest. It's hard for me to explain why I detest wordmarks on the front of jerseys. When I look at a football jersey I don'twant to see words on the front, I should already know which team it is. It's as if the jersey is dumbed down, or the organization is overmarketing itself .The browns have a wordmark on their regular jerseys, but not on their alternate throwbacks, and to me it makes a huge difference in the cleanliness of thejersey. Also, just the overall font looks bad, I don't like the underlining at all

these may all seem like small points (and of course, they are), but it bothers me that they couldn't have just gone full time with the '08 alternates,which are basically perfect duplicates of the old jerseys. Instead, they messed with a good thing and made small changes, all for the worse (I just noticed, nostripes on the socks = boo)


what could have been

Good post - FlashEightZero.
I woulda preferred they just stick with the 08 alt. too. But they wanted to add a modern twist to it and I think the uni's came out pretty clean. I stillhave my gripes mainly the 'wordmark'

I just think its way better than the jersey's we had before.

...


Any stores discounting the 80's replica jersey's for the current players?

I know my brother has a Pat Willis or Frank Gore one.

 

[100proof]

Last pick of the draft is Ricky Jean-Francois (DT)

 

[Los Angeles]

I took him in the nfl mock draft

Is that our last pick>

 

[100proof]

Yeah we're done

BTW ya boy jennings just got scooped by the jags

 

[Los Angeles]

do we all agree that there were some quality backs left in the later rounds?

i mean, we didnt draft an OLB or DE (we need some more depth there), no CB or Oline man

im sure theyre gonna be on the phones a lot of free agents gonna be called in.

overall this draft was focused on our offense which was ranked 23rd overall.

the real work begins now finding the RFA.

 

[nothingtol0se]

yes, coffee was a REACH

 

[Los Angeles]

i guess coffee had some amazing workout for the niners which made them pick him.

he's just not the "bruising" back they preached to us before the draft ....

i expect an open competetion between hill, smith, davis, huard ... would love for someone to take davis under their wing (huard aint that dude).

i like the ricky-jean pickup especially this late.

crabtree back all that talk up and put on the field.

 

[niketalker23]

I like the Ricky pick..

 

[Los Angeles]

overall i give the niners a C+ ... (the + comes for the future 1st rounder from carolina).

other than that, it seems like once crabtree fell to them the whole board got *+@%%* up.

they went away with NEED and went solely on building the offense up, i guess 2010 will be the defense - and have an imprint of mike singletary.

 

[acidicality]

let's get trent dilfer back to mentor nate davis, he did a helluva job with alex smith

, why not do it again????

 

[Los Angeles]

No one can save Alex Smith.

[acidicality]

do they have something like that for the raiders? i wanna see those 40 times

 

[poogibucker]

i dont see why we would draft a TE over an OL

 

[quaniboixi]

^ i think we needed a replacement for billy bajema. didnt he get released?

 

[Los Angeles]

He was a FA and signed with the Rams, he was our best blocking TE.

Anyways, add the 49er signings:

49ers
DE Pannel Egboh (Stanford)
CB Jahi Word-Daniels (Georgia Tech)
RB Kory Sheets (Purdue)

 

[tsamshox]
