He's not bad, but if Van Noy is at #45, we grab him and no one else.

The NFC Championship game last is what every game inside the division is going to be like next year.
I just want the players to end the games healthy. SF and Seattle beat the shit out of each other last year.
Agreed. Seems like the perfect fit.
Too perfect... Which means it probably won't happen.

Yeah with Williams, Carradine, Dobbs, Dial, and Jerrod-Eddie behind Cowboy, Dorsey, and Ray-Mac I think our d-line is pretty stacked. Another edge rusher would be fantastic, though. Perhaps another interior line backer to have some insurance behind Willis and Bow, as well.
O-line depth should definitely be a priority. Luckily we've been inordinately healthy in that area the last couple of years, but you can't bank on that. I'd also go for another RB in the later rounds. Gore will be a corpse by the end of the year, we have no idea what to expect from Lattimore, and Hunter is a solid spell back but hasn't proven he can be a feature back.
We're the Niners so we can always use more WRs and secondary help. The Stevie trade was aces, though.

I think WR depth is going to be decent if Patton can turn things around and Brandon Lloyd can turn out to at least be average (which in his case would be fine for being the 5th WR on the roster after the Stevie trade). Secondary is where we need more depth right now in comparison.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Agreed, but I think we'll have to move up to get him. He's my choice, too.

Yup, worried about that, too.
Do you think the Lions are going to spend one of their supplementals in the 4th on a back-up for Stafford? They have to do something because Orlovsky isn't who I really want as a #2 ... or Moore, for that matter.

Totally forgot about Lloyd, haha. I suppose if he makes the team he can contribute, but the guy is a very poor man's Crabtree. Patton was coming on towards the end of the year, so that's promising.
If a DB that's high on our board is still sitting there, by all means take him. But after failing to pull the trigger on Dennard or Verrett yesterday, I'd like the the corner we draft to be able to contribute early. Not a guy who might be able to do something in a year or two.
With the way our FO is working, we will give you a 3rd round pick!
Take that 49ers!
And we are also going to release Trent Cole too! Why need him when we have Smith!
On a serious note been hilarious listening to Philly sports radio today online at work. So much anger and rage. And to think we would have been over joyed if we picked this same guy in the 3rd round.
I think Ward is that guy. But we definitely need more depth with DB's.
Just draft a good player late and you'll be able to delude yourself into thinking it was a good draft. That's what Patriots fans had to do when they overdrafted Tavon Wilson in the 2nd two years ago- we told ourselves we drafted a 7th round player in the 2nd in Wilson, but a 2nd round player in the 7th in Alfonzo Dennard, and suddenly the pick didn't look quite as bad.
Who is the Ford Econoline?

I agree and I don't. Right now the only guy I trust as a starter is Tremaine Brock. Culliver-Cox-Wright are the depth, so we need to find someone who projects to be a starting corner opposite Brock. Someone like Dennard would have been perfect.
I don't hate the Ward pick, I just have no idea what position he's playing a year from now.

I could see him falling to us, given how much WR depth is in front of us at #45.
My focus:
Kyle Van Noy
Demarcus Lawrence
Kony Ealy
Stan Jean-Baptiste?

Josh Gordon might be out for the season with a suspension.

If casually watching the NFL Draft has taught me anything, it's that murder is okay, but smoking dope is not.

I refuse to listen to Philly radio. Nothing but hopelessness and despair. I personally don't give a shit where we took Smith, I just want him to perform. He has all the intangibles so I'm staying optimistic.
Why don't you give a shit where we take him?
Taking him now when he will be there at 54 makes us lose out on another player.
If we stayed put at 22 we could have drafted CB Dennard. He would be a day 1 starter for us over Fletcher or Williams.
And we could have still take Smith at 54. It makes a big difference.
Smith said he was surprised to go in the first. He was told by most all teams late 2nd or early 3rd. Chip admitted they tried to trade down again and couldn't. Yeah that inspires a lot of confidence in the guy they took!
Also read how most of his sack production came when he was against no one or rushing against RBs who were in pass protection. He isn't projected to started day 1 and will be used as a 3rd down pass rusher. Usually you wish for more than that.

Want ILB and TE today, boys.
Like Niklas. He's the right color of skin anyway.

Wasn't Josh kicked off the Baylor team for weed? If you're gonna do it at least be able to fool the test. This kind of thing is why the Browns will always be garbage... RIP Johnny Football.

1 year for weed?
I would expect we take an edge rusher here. We wanted to move up for Ford last night at the end.
He failed a codeine test last year. I guess two positive drug tests = year.
Repeat offender.

2nd failed test
Hmm. So Demarcus Lawrence or Scott Crichton you think?
1 bad season doesn't make him a bad player. A lot was going on at USC.
For a guy who was supposed to be a top WR, getting him in the 2nd is a steal.
This makes it even tougher for the Eagles to just sit idle and wait for someone like Lee to drop to them.
Wow... Talk about communications problems, that's on another level entirely.

So strange. Well looks like they'll grab Lee then.
