Hey there, everyone, James here with your Nuggets. I'm starting these really late so I have to be quick about this, fortunately (for times sake, not news sake) there's not a whole lot for me to get to so, yeah. That being said, it seems Becht is out of the equation because he resigned with the Arizona Cardinals yesterday. I'm happy for him, but we're still going to beat him when we take the division next season. I've got some links concerning a couple of pro days, a bit about those running backs the 49ers may have been interested in, and possibly some other things but I'm not sure at this point and the clock is ticking. So enjoy your links.
As stated, Anthony Becht resigned with the Cardinals yesterday. (SFGate.com)
Here's a bit on Carr and why he hasn't signed yet, and why very few RFAs will be changing teams this season. (PressDemocrat.com)
Terrence Cody would be an intriguing pick, but I seriously don't want to use a first rounder on a guy who weighs that much. Especially with Franklin on the team. Didn't think I'd be saying that a season ago. Also, just a general bit on some pro days that went down. (SacBee.com)
Apparently the Texans never gave David Carr a chance. What, does that mean we're supposed to give him one? Not likely. (SFGate.com)
Caught LB Takeo Spikes on NFL Total Access yesterday, good stuff. Except the whole time he looked like he was going to flip over the desk and whoop some analyst candy ass. Good stuff that was, either way he had some things to say about Crabtree and the NFC West in general. (NFL.com)
The Niners are reportedly still in the market for a blocking tight end. (PressDemocrat.com)
Something or other about Kiper's latest mock draft update, something I never read because they guy is a complete idiot. Am I allowed to say that? I really... REALLY don't care. (ESPN.com)
On the clock: DE Koa Misi, a guy I still know nothing about. (49ers.com)

I have serious issues with the advertising on this blog
I love this blog, I love its people, I love James and I love Fooch, and all that. I love the news, I love the debate, I was there for the Legendary David Carr Thread. What’s that? What don’t I love? I tells ya what I don’t love, Niners Nation. I don’t love being constantly sold New Orleans Saints world championship clothing, when I manifestly support the (five-time world champion) San Francisco 49ers, and I don’t love being told day after day after day that I am the 999,000th visitor to this site, when it is patently impossible for that to be true on more than one day, not that it ever was in the first place.
Thanks for listening. Love from LondonNiner.

I think you need a pop-up blocker, I never get those pop-ups.
Equation= 1,2,2,3,3 is a lot better than 1,1,2,3 in a deep draft, especially when your 1 nets you E berry.
Alex Smith is not a bust, he is a product of poor management and coaching.
Hm...
I don’t ever get a single pop-up, if that’s what you’re talking about, London. If you just mean the banner add, there’s only one of those up top and most of the time (like right now) it doesn’t even load for me. Maybe try a pop-up blocker? If you’re running Internet Explorer, first vomit uncontrollably to purge your system of that awfulness and go and pick up either Mozilla Firefox or the latest beta of Google Chrome, in my opinion the two most stable browsers. Secondary would be Opera or Safari, all of which have an add-on available called AdBlock Plus, get that and love it.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
I use a pop up blocker on Firefox
and I rarely, if ever see a pop-up ad. Definitely might be something worth looking into LondonNiner

Interesting bit on Atogwe in the press dem article. Maybe they’re right and that’s why the Niners aren’t making a push for anyone.
Thought Spikes’ comment about the 1st round was interesting. He essentially said, “draft Spiller and the best OL available.” Sounds good when you hear it, but might not be the best strategy. We’ll see how things play out come April.
I’m now convinced Kiper is an idiot. I understand the thinking that Williams won’t be around after his combine workout (and I know Drew will be thankful for that), but I just don’t see all the upside in Iupati compared to other guards available in the second or third. Only thing that worries me about waiting until the 2nd for a tackle is that the Pats have three 2nd rounders. They’re likely to snatch our guy before we pick which screw this whole draft up.
Hope the Niners don’t get a blocking TE. Just use a lineman and have him enter as eligible. Either way you’re telegraphing your play call, so why waste a roster spot.
Iupati is easily the best guard in the draft
comparisons to Steve Hutchinson are warranted.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Either way..
Guard isn’t high enough on the 49ers need list to warrant a guard in the first. It’s just a public perception that isn’t correct.

Iupati would be a huge upgrade to Baas
and would be a Pro-Bowler for years to come
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
That's fine, I'd love to have him...
…and wouldn’t be disappointed with him, but I think if I’m pulling the trigger I go for something much better in the first round of this draft, which will be one of the best in a very long time.

At #17 who's better and fits an area of need for us?
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
I wouldn't say LG is a need for us.
But for starters, a RT and a SS. Take your pick of which.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Or a FS for that matter.
Or Spiller.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
So tell me who will be available at 17?
Berry will be gone. Mays will most likely be gone. Thomas is a reach at that point.
I think Spiller will be gone. Williams may or may not be gone. so who would be available there?
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
I have no idea, and neither do you.
Speculation says that one team can cause Berry to fall ten spots. Speculation says that Mays can fall twenty spots. Thomas isn’t a reach in my mind, either. Iupati is definitely a reach there. Spiller may or may not be gone. Williams is terrible. I really don’t know who will be available. Like I said, I wouldn’t hate getting Iupati but I do know who I would pull the trigger on over him, and my point stands. Whether or not they’ll be there is irrelevant at this point. Last season if I had denounced Orakpo for Crabtree, you’d have told me that Crabtree being there at ten was absolutely ludicrous and that Orakpo is the guy. Not that specifically, but you know what I mean, yeah? Iupati is a good player with the potential to be a great player, but forgive me for not getting stoked about a left guard when our right tackle is the worst (one of the worst) in the league.
And also, I guess this all stemmed from me calling Kiper an idiot, let me reiterate that I don’t think he’s an idiot because he had the Niners taking Iupati, I think he’s an idiot because he’s an idiot.

Williams is terrible
How do you draw that conclusion?
by Rod Blogojevich on Mar 11, 2010 10:22 AM PST up reply actions
Dunno, Danny told me.
Always listen to Danny. In reality though, he isn’t terrible, just from watching him… he seems like a huge reach at 17.

I guess all we can do is wait! Closing in on the one month countdown!

Pass Rusher
I think it would have more value at that range depending on who’s on the board. Even if there was no one there, I’d try to trade back a few and pick up one of the late 1st round CB’s. McCourty or Robinson.

Koa Misi
I’ve watched him play for the last 3 years. What can I say? The guys a stud! He’s not going to WOW you with his sack numbers, but he gets a lot of QB hits/knockdowns. He is a solid DE/OLB with a high-motor. Think Justin Smith sans 20-30lbs. I’d say he’s a good value pick in the late 2nd to 3rd round.
+Kiper...
…IS and idiot who would give Donald Trump a run for the title of Most Ridiculous Hair Do.
by kailuakid9er on Mar 11, 2010 8:09 AM PST up reply actions
Yeah, but...
…Donal Trump is hilarious. Kiper is just a moron who gets paid ridiculous amounts of money to know absolutely nothing about professional football.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
You're right
I’d love it if ESPN had The Don visit them for their draft coverage just so he could tell Kiper “You’re fired!”
by kailuakid9er on Mar 11, 2010 10:35 AM PST up reply actions
Personally, I'd love for Trump to tell me about college prospects.
I love how he totally embraced his persona and is like “Yeah thats right, I’m Donald Trump, I’m more awesome than all of you and I GET PAID SON!!”

Trump on college prospects

Misi's a stud
I’d grab him in 2nd or 3rd as well. He was one of the players that the Niners interviewed at the combine.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Seeing as how I know nothing about him..
Misi would replace Sopoaga (eventually? immediately?) at left end, correct?
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
by James Brady on Mar 11, 2010 10:15 AM PST up reply actions
Yeah he would play LDE
He’s got good size. I don’t know how well his skills will translate but I think he’d push Sopoaga next year for the starting job but probably not ’til his 2nd season.
Like Kailuakid93er says it would probably be a rotation of Sopoaga, McDonald and Misi until we figure out which one will be the guy.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Good to know, I read up on him a bit just now.
Looks good, I don’t have many issues with him, could do with putting on a few. Shouldn’t take a whole lot to challenge Sopoaga though, guy is now officially, with the absence of Arnaz Battle, the new human roster exemption.

Ummm....
At 6-3, 240 lbs he is most definitely NOT playing DE in the 3-4. He would play OLB and possibly line up hand down in nickel situations like Brooks does.
by 9thevolution on Mar 11, 2010 11:52 AM PST up reply actions
I think he could do it if he bulked up a bit
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
But yeah he'd probably be a situational guy in passing downs
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Misi replacing Sopoaga @ left end
I could see that, though he would probably be in a rotation for awhile. He would probably need to put on some weight and get to 270-275lbs to do that. Most listings have him between 245-265lbs now.
Random thought of the day:
Spikes looks like Shrek in that video.
