Official Pre Draft Tailgate Party - 49er fans, please check in and fix your Bow Tie

PrintWell folks, the day we all have been waiting for has finally arrived! After months and months of mocks, 100 in 100, Tebow, Spiller, Clausen: we now can pencil in the final X on our Draft Day calendars. The site during these months has had a lot of great insight from the Front Page writers, as well the fans who have contributed in both Fanposts and comments. This has been an exciting offseason so far, and Draft Day washes away the disappointment of falling short of expectations from last season, while bringing in new hope and expectations going into camp, Pre-Season; and to where the money shot goes - the regular season ahead into hopefully a post season!
But wait! This Draft has something different than the past few drafts of recent years. The exit of Scot McCloughan over a month ago has added either more drama to Draft Day, or excitement. Hopefully, we will never, ever hear the word "trigger" when it comes to a 49er draft again, ever. One of the final key pieces of the former Nolan regime is not in the War Room anymore. It’s not that McCloughan was a major problem. It’s more like a fresh start for the 49ers with Trent Baalke. We could almost predict what McCloughan had in store on Draft Day as far as philosophy. Now the fun will be watching Baalke work this draft.
After the jump, some more thoughts on this monumental day, with even more reasons to get us fired up…
What can make this draft more interesting? I mean, the roster still has a few holes to fill, questions to answer, and certain players who will either break out or flame out. We all have our own ideas and opinions on who those players are, as well their respective positions. But guess what? It’s DRAFT DAY. All of our energy and ideas leading up to today is like all of us as fans contributing to a potential Oscar winning film. We all have worked the lights, camera, sound, built the sets, catered the divas, and packed the trucks until 4 am to move to another location. Today is the Premier of the culmination of all our work. We have our popcorn, beers, and are dressed in our Draft Day finest to shine on the Red Carpet. Now, all we can to is wait and see what the Studio has left on the cutting room floor.
What makes today even more suspenseful than a Hitchcock film: just what kind of draft will the 49ers have with the only leftover from the Nolan regime, Head Coach Mike Singletary? Will this draft reflect the idea of "Singletary Football", or will it reflect something more like Roger Corman? Well, scratch that thought. Singletary and Corman may have something in common. But, will the 49er Casting Department find another Robert DeNiro as Lead, or is the idea a hangover from the previous regime to supplement the cast with Indie, role type "Character" actors? Will the "Singletary Method" of coaching new talent be as effective as Lee Strasberg? Is Jed York our very own Cecil B. DeMille?
Now, I need a favor from all of you. I won’t be able to attend today’s premier. In fact, at the time when this post goes live, I will be away from my desk, and on the field. No, not on a Golf Course. I actually have to work away from my desk, and won’t be able to watch the Draft. What I want to see are the Numbers. As in number of posts and activity, and when I get home, I will see even better gross numbers than ‘Avatar' pulled in a weekend. Not just in this thread. This is a roll call thread, a pre-game thread if you will. Of course, I don’t even know why I’m asking. We all know we are Box Office Gold Rush. So let’s get up on our feet, and give ourselves a standing ovation, because you have earned it. If the conductor cues music over Ninjames' acceptance speech, I will shoot the piano player myself.
Roll credits, and be counted.

I’ll miss the first few picks because of work though. This sucks!

Then heard it on the radio like 20 min later. I could only laugh and call my friend (raider fan) asap to laugh at him for them picking up Hayward bay. Good things happen when the Raiduhs pick before you lol.

Word is Bulaga's draft stock is slipping
It also sounds like Washington might consider Berry at 4 which would increase the chances of Bulaga sitting there at 13.
Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.
by methodrampage on Apr 22, 2010 10:23 AM PDT up reply actions
What if Bulaga is there at #13...
and the Eagles and/or Cowboys come calling in an effort to trade up for Earl Thomas (both have been at least rumored to be interested in trading up for Thomas). Is Bulaga the pick eventhough some see him as a RT due to his short arms or do the Niners trade down and pick up say a 3rd rounder from the Eagles or Cowboys?
Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.
by methodrampage on Apr 22, 2010 10:32 AM PDT up reply actions
I don't know
I’d think I’d like Davis and late 1st round CB (McCorty?) plus an extra 3rd rounder in a deep draft might be better.
Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.
by methodrampage on Apr 22, 2010 11:10 AM PDT up reply actions
I'd rather the team go get a RT
than draft an LT and move Staley back to the right side. One thing I know, is the team needs a mean, mauling grinder at the RT position. Cliche, yes, but true too.
The question then becomes, is a RT worth paying 13th overall money to? Like you mention in a response, having extra ammunition in a deep draft might be the better road to take.
I’d love to see Philadelphia trade up from the 24 spot to 13, or maybe Minnesota from 30 to 17. Regarding a trade with Minny, it would be a perfect spot to nab Saffold (if he’s still there) while still landing a super solid player at 13.

Calling rlott#42
Do you care to revisit our wager? You’ve got like 6 hours before you’ll cease to exist as rlott#42 on this site. I’d be open to changing the bet to a sig bet where you’d have to sport any signature of my choosing say until the Niners kick off in Week 1 (and vice versa if the Niners do pick Mays with their first pick).
Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.

If you guys continue with a wager on Mays, it definitely should be something other than never posting on the site again. We can’t have that!

That's what I call a wager
Site exodus? That’s putting something serious on the line. I think you guys (rlott#42) would be wiser to do a sig bet for this wager.

These draft days went by fast
I remembered 5 years ago I tried to wake up early on a Saturday morning to see who they’ll draft #1, but didn’t get up until lunch time and saw Smith’s pictures all over the NFL websites then saw Rodgers sweating balls sporting a soul patch on TV.
Burning questions:
So will there be 2 new 49ers today?
Or just 1 and more to come this weekend?
Which projected 2nd/3rd rounder will Oakland draft in the top 10 this time – Riley Cooper?
Will Sam Bradford hurt his shoulder again holding up the Rams’ jersey?
Will we see Tebow via satellite thanking God in a 5-minute prayer session…after the Raiders passed on him at #8?
Will we see Tebow renounce God after the Raiders trade back into the late first round and draft him then?
Win the inning.
Adopted home of Renteria - celebrated World Series hero...of 1997
I think we are all (alot of us) just hoping for 1. Because if it’s one, it more than likely means we moved up to get Eric Berry
If that's the case
They have to aim for 4-6 because I don’t see Berry slipping past Seahawks at #6. To move that far up will likely cost the 49ers their 2 first rounders and maybe even another pick so will it be worth it? I really like Berry though as I’m sure everybody else does too provided they don’t have a top 3 pick.
Win the inning.

re:

No. Berry is not that much better than whoever will be available at 13 and 17 that it would be anywhere near worth giving up both picks for him.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 12:31 PM PDT up reply actions
Ew, no
Definitely not all of us are hoping for that, especially if it means (as you seem to be implying) that the Niners gave up both of their first round picks. That would be utterly awful.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Maybe
Just saying I don’t want him at all IF it means a big trade up has to take place. I don’t think a majority of the people here would be in favor of giving up both first rounders for him though, it’s just way too much for any safety, no matter how good he is.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 12:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Amazing
I’d take Clausen and Haden in the 1st round for sure.

If you don't like Brandon Medders you're not a true fan.
I WAS on the Spiller bandwagon but...
I’ve kinda softened my stance on drafting him…Realistically I think a great draft that could actually happen is #13 Bulaga and #17 Wilson. I think Kyle Wilson is gonna be a better player than Haden.

So, I think I met Frank Gore...
at the airport the other day. He said that he was Frank Gore, and he even took a picture with me but he seemed a little put off by the situation. He was wearing a 49ers t-shirt which I am sure makes people recognize him more often, so why wear that if you don’t want someone to recognize you? He wasn’t a jerk about the situation at all, that’s not what I’m trying to say, it’s just this:
As soon as I saw him I thought, thats Frank Gore. After talking with him for a quick second, shaking his hand, and posing for the picture, I started to think, was that really him. The interaction left me skeptical. It still looked like him to me but his demeanor was just kind of strange.
Anyways, I changed my avatar to that picture. Tell me if you guys think that it is really Frank the Tank or is there another inconvenient truth?

"If I were to walk down a dark alley in a bad part of town, I'd want Ray Brown with me. And if I were to have a nice dinner at a fine restaurant, I'd want Ray Brown with me." The Late Great McKittrick
I only control the TV during the season
otherwise I don’t really care enough about any show to demand the TV the way I do when the Niners are on it.
"If I were to walk down a dark alley in a bad part of town, I'd want Ray Brown with me. And if I were to have a nice dinner at a fine restaurant, I'd want Ray Brown with me." The Late Great McKittrick
and I use "control" only in the manner that a husband can use it
cause we know…we’re lucky to not get in trouble sometimes!

The draft is like 90% fluff
In reality it’s pretty boring but for some reason it’s hard to take your eyes off of it.

I have a feeling
there will be all sort of talk, speculation, rumors, some trades…this was a weak UFA class with no cap this off-season and a deep draft…
"If I were to walk down a dark alley in a bad part of town, I'd want Ray Brown with me. And if I were to have a nice dinner at a fine restaurant, I'd want Ray Brown with me." The Late Great McKittrick
That's also part of it
Not many trades either until this past week
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
I know
crazy isn’t it?
I think part of it is all the effort that we do with mocks and researching players. We want to see validation for our efforts. Plus the NFL has really turned it into a big show with the interviews and retrospectives and all that fun stuff.

by sanfranfanmdk on Apr 22, 2010 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions
there's a site for a chinese company
that does them for about $30 but you want to do a big order cause of shipping. Over $200 I think is free shipping though. Officially licensed real authentic jerseys.
"If I were to walk down a dark alley in a bad part of town, I'd want Ray Brown with me. And if I were to have a nice dinner at a fine restaurant, I'd want Ray Brown with me." The Late Great McKittrick

Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Can't be officially licensed
only Reebok is allowed to do official licensing

I'd like that
because I don’t care if they are knockoffs if they look like the real deal
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
they are knock offs
I know two people who get merchandise from them. Its not official. There are a few sewing errors and the like.
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf
by Drew K on Apr 14, 2010 2:05 PM PDT
I will say they do look official for the most part
good for game day party fouls and getting multiple jerseys for the price of one

those look pretty close to the real deal, and a Willis jersey for just $25 is hard to pass up.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
again, get a group order
shipping is costly

Still cheap considering
$25 for the jersey, $25 for shipping for $50, compared to $120 for a replica jersey or $239 for the authentic
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Yeah but the quality is hit or miss

Crabtree is a good one to have
cause he’s going to be good, we’ve seen him on the field, and he’s signed for another 4-5 years. Staley is signed for a long time, I guess you could get him…just never been a big fan of OL jerseys…then again, I have a Balmer jersey I got on clearance so what do I know?

Fellow Niners ...
… I won’t be watching the draft. Fooch kindly worked out for me earlier that the Niners select at 2.30am and probably 3am my time, and I have to be at work tomorrow morning. I feel so much like I’m missing out, but it’s the wrong time, so I can’t do it, just can’t do it. Can’t win with ‘em, can’t do it. I WANT WINNERS! Sorry, drifted off there … I will check nfl.com and NN tomorrow morning at 6am, and if you could see your way, Niners Nation, to delivering two out of three from a big, tough OT, a boost to our secondary and CJ Spiller, I shall be eternally grateful, thanks. Oh go on then, a guard if you must.
Enjoy, men! I’ll be dreaming about it ,

if we don’t take the deal chances are whomever moves up and DOES won’t take Williams if you want him that bad, you can have him at 13.
