Baalke loves to do this, see Tank Carradine and Lattimore from last year. Makes a ton of sense for someone like the Niners who don't have any gaping holes. Clearly, with the drafting of Justin Ward, Harbaugh and Baalke consider the secondary to be mostly fine.
Played hurt have to look at his soph year.
Al Davis...
To recap:
Draft -
Shazier, ILB - 4.38
Archer, RB - 4.26

DHB, WR - 4.25
Mitchell, S - 4.45
McCain, CB - 4.33
RAIDER EAST, MOTHERPLUCKERS!

Apart from dudes with bricks for hands, I have the utmost confidence in our ability to find value WRs/TEs.
Even DJ Williams would be a starting TE somewhere if he could freaking catch the ball.

I miss Crabbles
That's why I wanted Niklas

Speed doesn't win. You think Raiders would have figured that out by now.

Not Mad at the Thomas pick. I like him to push Boone at guard next year. Awesome second day. Baalke listened, love Baalke when he listens.
+Stevie!

We'll see next year when we're letting up 400 passing yards a game.
I'm pretty happy with Adams, won't even know JJ is gone.
Mallett's contract is expiring. He'll be gone for sure next year, if not sooner. They'll be forced to pick a backup next year anyway, so it makes sense for them to select one this year if they find a guy they really liked who fit their system well, instead of waiting til next year when they may not like any of the options available.

Pack needed to go offense not shit on the board at LB
Looks like a monster honestly.

Watching a bit of Rodgers now. A lot more impressed with his blocking than his catching, tbh. He's not big, but he positions himself well. He can run routes okay, and he can run when he catches it, but he just doesn't have much in the way of catch radius. It's basically, does it hit him between the numbers, yes/no
But none of these mid-round guys are perfect.

We're putting a lot of trust in Culliver. He made me nervous before the blown knee. At this point in the draft it's rare to snag a starter at CB amd we don't need anymore reserve level players there.

Think browns browns only have two picks left? WR will definetly be the next pick I think, we'll trade up if we need to. Fill out the rest of the needs in FA and Undfa, thinks guys like S. Holmes are still available
I still think we should get desir...
hopefully something sticks tomorrow

How'd the bears do
For sure, but I'm thinking why 2nd round? Would this guy even have gone until 3rd or 4th?
Belichick obviously knows a lot more than I do about it, it's just surprising. You're probably right that they saw him as a really good fit and wanted to make sure they got him

I'll take him if he's the top player on our board at the time. But like Thomas I wouldn't expect anything out of him this year, and hope he can develop into something down the line.

It's pretty clear that Idzik is a shit negotiator.
Yall better take care of my boy Lance Moore
Too slow. Will be cut early in camp.
He catches everything and runs great routes. If you cut him then yall must have some outstanding wrs.

Well, we have Raiola's successor now, it seems. Unsure how I feel about grabbing him in the 3rd, though.

missed the rest of todays drafting. how did we do niner bro's? I don't know any of these guys!
Eh, third round for potentially our new starting center in a year or so, I'm alright with that as long as the guy actually does pan out to be a decent player. Yes, we still have more immediate needs on the defense and you can say that a future-proofing pick goes against the whole "it's time to win now" philosophy, but frankly I never saw us "winning now" this year anyway, so if they didn't like any of the other secondary help around that area of their grading system, this is fine. I'm a little bit more concerned about Van Noy, and particularly the fact that we traded up for him, but I'm willing to see how he plays. He and Ansah already have a connection from college, so if they're able to make each other better then good.
...Taking Eric Ebron at tenth overall is still a fucking ridiculous chump move, though.

We should have taken Bridgewater at 29 and just been done with this future QB thing. He'd have been a better pick than Easley.
Pretty good Baalke turned a 7th round pick into a 4th round pick next year.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
So he basically got Stevie Johnson for a 7th rounder.
Still more than what the Eagles got for DeSean!
I guess drafting Jordan Matthews was the plan
Thats not a very comfortable plan
I was joking. He's going to catch double digit touchdowns this year.
Nah not that either. He will be solid though. He has silly dances though.

His biggest flaw is he schmeed when he should have squeed.

Is it possible that there's a future awesome QB being drafted in the 3rd round, like Russell Wilson?
