Golden Nuggets: Competition? I thought confidence was key?

by James Brady on Mar 12, 2010 3:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

Morning folks. Today, I've only got a couple of links for you. I'm starting these a bit earlier than usual because I have a ton of things to do tomorrow promoting this show, etc etc... so I need to get to sleep sooner than usual, which for me means I need to be sleeping by about midnight. Still, I don't anticipate more than one or two links will come up after midnight anyway, so I hope I don't miss anything good. That being said, if any of you would be so kind as to post any links I will (most likely definitely probably) miss in the comments, that'd be great. Always feel free to post an links that you come across, unless of course I've already posted them. Anyway, I'm exhausted, here's some links.

Maiocco seems to think that regardless of what is said, there will be a QB competition on the 49ers.(PressDemocrat.com)

Q&A with C.J. Spiller. I really want the 49ers to get this guy. (49ers.com)

Willis apparently contacted David Carr and made nice on his statements from Twitter. (SacBee.com)

Apparently, the Niners were finalizing negotiations to trade for Michael Vick but pulled out to sign Carr instead. I'm questioning the validity of this, but ya never know. (Scout.com)

Sando isn't jumping on the 49ers bandwagon, as made evident in his 49ers chat wrap. (ESPN.com)

Things are all quiet on the 49ers free agent front. (NinersCentral.com)

Ok I'll say it

If we manage to get Spiller, I think it could very well go down as one of the Niners’ greatest draft picks of all time. He appears to have all the tools to fit right into our system. Oh yeah, and the intangibles (good role model, ambitious) just add to his value. Our best case scenario would be to target him with #13 and either take the best OL and/or T available at 17. Quality DB’s, additional OL’s if the FO does their homework will all be there in the later rounds. If all goes well we could be looking at the new improved version of Roger Craig (remember when he went 1000/1000?) Ok maybe I’m thinking too big, but it’s hard not to when so many are so high on Spiller.

BTW, Maiocco’s comment on a QB competition, I can’t see that happening unless it’s so glaringly obvious that in the preseason and in camp that Smith is not going to have that revelation we’ve all been waiting for.
