Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Golden Nuggets: Let's be Blount about this.

Good morning everyone. The dust has settled from the NFL Draft and has subsequently been kicked up again by the plethora of undrafted free agent signings. Or rather, the undrafted free agent "agreements" that may or may not reflect on an actual signing that will take place. Naturally, I'm referring to the news that LeGarrette Blount has instead signed with the Tennessee Titans after agreeing to sign with our 49ers. More power to him, I suppose. I was happy that he was coming in, but I wasn't optimistic that he could beat out Anthony Dixon in a camp battle anyway, so I figure his time here would have been wasted. To be Blount about it, I didn't think he had a future here to begin with. Either way, the news keeps coming and I'm very excited for the players we've brought in via the draft and undrafted free agency thusfar. Let's get to your links.

As stated, UDFA running back LeGarrette Blount has decided to sign with the Titans as opposed to the 49ers. Again, makes sense for him. (SacBee.com)

It would seem that Alex Smith is pleased with the 49ers draft picks, or at least the first two selections. Why wouldn't he be? The guy spent half of his playing time last season on his back. (RGJ.com)

Here's some information and random facts on the 49ers Saturday draft picks. (SFGate.com)

All of the 49ers picks in the draft evoke the toughness that Singletary wants this team to signify. (SFGate.com)

This isn't exactly 49ers news, but it's something that's worth including. Perhaps the 49ers' most credible beat writer Matt Maiocco is no longer working with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and therefore will no longer be found at his usual blog. He will, however, resurface in what we can assume is the world of sports writing elsewhere, rumored to be ESPN. Even if you don't agree with his opinions, Maiocco has been a veritable pool of information pertaining to the 49ers over the years. (PressDemocrat.com)

A look at some of the undrafted free agent signings reported around the NFC West, but take them with a grain of salt, it's from earlier yesterday morning. (ESPN.com)

Wow this looks.. so ridiculously unprofessional and neither of these guys are meant for the camera or actually speaking. Either way, it's a "draft recap" of sorts, but I turned it off early on. (ProFootballTalk.com)

Hey, look at that, Sando made the Blount situation about the Seahawks. I mean, it makes sense, but a lot of people here dislike his occasional perceived Seahawks bias. This is for you guys. (ESPN.com)

DL and CB

We didn’t address as noted. We did somewhat address it in the UDFA market. Stoudamire might be good. We can only hope that Vann might turn out to have more than just return capabilities. Wonder if we can replace the Blount signing with someone DL.

Best wishes

to MM. I certainly hope we don’t lose him permanently. He is a Golden Nuggets fixture!

Everyone makes a big deal

about the two old running backs the Seahawks signed. One was a tub of lard and the other guy broke his leg and isn’t all the way back. I think that everyone wants to stroke the new “genius” on the block.

We’ll see.

I think

what most people hope for out of this situation, is that the Seahawks cut Justin Forsett. I personally can’t see them being that – for lack of a better word – stupid. Forsett is playing on a 7th round salary, and likely every team in the NFC West would jump at the chance to add him.

Won't happen.

We’re more likely to cut Julius Jones.

Did anyone read MMQB? My Lord, Peter King channeled his inner Sando. Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks!!!!1 BEST DRAFT EVAR JIM CARROLL=VINCE LOMBARDI x BILL WALSH x BILL BELICHICK x 10000000000!!!!!

I read that too

And actually I was a little surprised until I realized that he’s from the Seattle area originally I believe. Usually he’s all about the Pats or Jets or some other east coast team.

Handsomeness is a burden my face has to live with. Every day.

Blount Gone?

Anyone else see that Blount signed with the Titans?

by notalexsmith on Apr 26, 2010 12:29 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Does anyone think that Trent Baalke sounds exactly like Marty Funkhauser from Curb Your Enthusiasm? Their voices are eerily similar.

by Rod Blogojevich on Apr 26, 2010 12:57 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Blount did the right call

Was being hopeful on him, but I knew he didn’t mean any disrespect. It was best for him to find a team he felt to have his best chance of making the cut with.
