Golden Nuggets: No QB at ten, PLEASE!

by James Brady on Mar 15, 2009 1:37 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Morning everyone, how's it going, etc etc. James here. Today there's not a terribly large amount of news but depending on how you feel about a few players there can either be some good news or some not so good news. Three veteran players (See first link) aren't scheduled to attend the team's first mini-camp next week, and personally, I'm kind of happy for it. Its a step in the right direction. Also, more speculation on Torry Holt. If Bruce doesn't return, I guess sign the guy but I'm still just a little unsure. Anyway, not a ton of links, but I've got some for you. Go ahead and take a look, discuss in the comments, post your own, etc. And as always, enjoy.

Three veteran players aren't scheduled to attend the teams first mini-camp at the end of next week. I don't know how I feel about one of these, you know who. (PressDemocrat.com)

So do you want us to go after WR Torry Holt? We certainly could. (SFGate.com)

Another mock has us taking Everette Brown. I'm not sure how I feel about the guy, personally. (MVN.com)

If we take a QB with the tenth pick so help me I'll.... well I wont do much, but I'll be very angry for a long time and you guys will have to hear about it. All the time. (Examiner.com)

Stadium plans in Santa Clara are being delayed again. Huh. (MercuryNews.com)

And to finish for now, a Q & A from Barrows, which are always great to read. (SacBee.com)

I really don't want a QB at 10 either

But I like that McClaughlin is leaving the door open for it to happen because I think that if teams think that it’s a possibility there’s a much higher chance that someone will trade up for our slot and I think that moving down is our best option.

McCloughan will say anything

But what he’s saying and what the team ends up doing are two different things. I still think, unless a great talent like Crabtree falls to #10 that they’ll pick up the best offensive tackle available.

And then look for a running back and a receiver later on.

The NLF post says

The Niners will pick Crabtree at the 10th position.

Use 2 think so.

I was one of thoses fan who wanted a QB. But since then, I have change my mind. Some think the BPA ,Crabtree or a pass rusher is the best way to go. All good choices.But they don’t fix the immediate problems we have. Which side needs the help most? Well, I compile the stats on both sides of the ball and overall, the Defense finish 13th in the league and the offense at 23th. I went further and broke it down to pass and rush on each side. The most glaring weakness is the offensive rush at 27th worst for ‘08 and for ’07’. If you cann’t keep the offense on the field, the defense will have to work its butt off, which is what happen last year. So I think the defense will be OK, if the Offense can maintain longer drives. To do that , the key is the Line. I am not a big fan of A. Smith, His workouts were terrible, but his mind-set isn’t there, Oher is also an issue with me. The Scouts have reported that they are concern about his ability to understand complicated plays. No one has considered the other two OT, Beatty from Conn. or Britton from Az.. Scouts are saying that there a lot of upsides to theses players. Granted, they are not getting the attention like the first four, but maybe they should. We got about Forty more days to discuss this. In the end, it’s really out of our hands.
