Golden Nuggets: Whoops.

by James Brady on Apr 15, 2010 5:36 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Morning folks. I did the Nuggets last night, and I could have sworn that I scheduled them. I can't be sure, I suppose, but I'm pretty sure it was lost somewhere in the infinite void of scheduled posts that never make it to the front. Either way, I woke up at 5 AM and noticed that they're not up, so I figured I'd put them together quickly for you as it's still relatively early. I don't know what I've got for you, but I'll put this together as quickly as I can. There's a bit about the 49ers local pro day and things of that nature. So here's your links, enjoy folks.

Here's a bit about the 49ers local pro day and evaluating the local talent. (49ers.com)

A good number of big-name players aren't expected at the local pro day. That's not what it's for. (PressDemocrat.com)

LB Travis LaBoy began working out for NFL teams and the 49ers are on the top of his list. (PressDemocrat.com)

Spiller could be the guy to ignite the 49ers offense. (SacBee.com)

Ravens GM has said there have been no trade talks for Jared Gaither. I don't want him on the 49ers. (ProFootballTalk.com)

I am pretty interested where Dez Bryant will be landing, visiting teams from the Broncos to our own 49ers.(NFL.com)

If you didn't here, Baas signed his one-year tender offer. Good stuff. (SacBee.com)

Another take on Spiller

http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/n-f-l-draft-a-few-secrets-of-game-film/

He brings up things to watch for on film that I hadn’t thought of, I thought it was an interesting read. Of course, I’m biased toward Best (Go Bears) so, you know. I actually buy his QB argument a little more than I buy his RB ideas.

I will just say that Barrows compares him to both Reggie Bush and Chris Johnson without really giving a reason for why he expects him to turn out like Johnson rather than Bush. And didn’t Best have the faster 40 time? Again, taking 2nd round vs 1st round value into account, especially if we trade down with one of our picks.

Check out what CBS Sports said about Davis

How funny is this

“Davis is a big-play threat who is more of a wide receiver than he is a tight end. He has sure hands. He can catch the deep ball. And he’s definitely a third-down threat. Delanie Walker is the second option here, and it’s a decent one … when you’re looking for a receiver. What the club needs here is someone who is more of a blocker, and neither Davis nor Walker fits that description. "

Davis has “sure hands” and as a blocker "does not fit the description. LMAO

Ya, I ventured into the Draft scouting report realm yesterday everyone had a contradictory evaluation.

Bulaga for instance:

Evaluation 1:
Strength: Athletic, can handle speed rushers on the edge
Weakness: Bull rush, cannot hold up on point of attack.

Evaluation 2:
Strength: Can clamp down and stone wall bull rush moves
Weakness: Lacks technique on the edge to handle speed rushers.

I don't want Gaither either

He’s never been a RT and questionable work ethic – he’s just the best of what’s left for OTs on the market – pretty slim pickins.

Getting a veteran RT was my first choice but that source is drying up. My fall back position was whatever OT drops to us in the 1st round but I’m even waffling on that now. Let’s face it, all the top tier OTs want Left Tackle, top ten pick money and we only need a Right Tackle – they flunk cost benefit. There’s too much demand for LTs now, so they’ll probably get picked before us anyway. Converting Lupati is too much risk for a 1st round pick. Don’t worry – we’ll find good value for those 1st round picks (Spiller, Thomas, Haden,…).

It’s more realistic to get a pick who is and wants to be what we want him to be – a durable, mauling RT. Ducasse has great upside but he’s raw now. I think the best fit (if we’re thinking 2010 playoffs) is Ciron Black. Right size, right skillset, pro ready, experienced at the position and as durable as they come.

If anyone’s still monitoring this thread, how disappointed would you be with that pick?
