Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Golden Nuggets: Flip-flopping on Spiller

Morning everyone, Ninjames here. Just wanted to begin with a congratulations to everyone in the open thread yesterday. It went well, and I hope there are more in the future. If you missed it, there were several topics covered, and I think all we got from it was that LondonNiner is indeed British and doesn't know the first thing about bread glaze. All of that aside, it was a good thing we had a big open thread, because absolutely nothing happened in 49erland yesterday. Like, literally nothing went down. I think all the beat writers and 49ers staff didn't set their alarms, or maybe they were watching basketball. Or spectating our thread. Or watching the UFC. Who knows? Either way, I do have a couple links from you, so I'll get them up for you.

Trent Baalke sees the draft much the same way that Scot McCloughan did. I hope he's not as close-minded. (SFGate.com)

Recent comments from Baalke suggest that C.J. Spiller (or perhaps Jahvid Best) is a target for the 49ers in the draft. (SacBee.com)

Be sure to check out Indiana Jim's latest 49ers Fancast. (49ers Fancast)

This makes me happy. Joey Porter is having a bad start as far as his career with the Arizona Cardinals goes. Good. I need him to not be awesome. (ESPN.com)

That's it for now, as I don't want to repeat any links.

Had me doubts, mate.

i think that were busy spectating our threads

we are after all their favorite fan post. They should hire a few of us on as staff. That would be a real “re-organizing” by Jed York

Baalke

As much as I would like to see Spiller on this team, I don’t think it’s a lock that he (or Best for that matter) will get drafted by the 49ers even if they are there for our picks. If Spiller falls to the 17th pick, there may be a decent chance, but at 13, who knows?

Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

If he is there at 13 who would take him from 14-17? I think they would take a chance on him falling.

I don’t think they pass on him though.

At 14 the Hawks could potentially

But I honestly think that if they don’t get Brandon Marshall, they’ll target Dez Bryant if he has a good pro day on the 30th.

The only we can do.... IS WAIT!

(Or I guess we can make threatening phone calls to Baalke and the other GMS or something.)

The offseason is always so brutal.

If Bulaga and Spiller are both there at 13 you take Bulaga

Spiller is a talent… But more people NEED Bulaga than they do Spiller. If Bulaga is still there at 13 he likely won’t be at 17. If Spiller is he very well could drop to 17.

If Spiller, Bulaga AND Dez Bryant are all available at 13 you damn sure pass on both Bryant and Spiller and take Bulaga. You’ll damn sure have at least 1 of the 2 left at 17 in that situation.

Gimme 1 round!

I'm calling it now

At some point this year Alex Smith is going to flat-out truck Jerry Porter as he runs into the end zone on a naked bootleg.

Gimme 1 round!

LOL

It’s definitely one of Alex’s better plays.
