Morning everyone. Regrettably I'm going to have to do this in a hurry again tonight, though not for reasons of starting late. I've got a.. bit of a crisis on my hand and it's too late to see if Fooch can handle the Nuggets for the night, so I'm on. Not really anything happened in 49erland yesterday, and nothing figures to go down today either. Something did, however, happen that could impact what the 49ers end up doing in the upcoming draft. Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins and the talks about him to the 49ers can cease. But how does it affect the 49ers? Check out the first link. Enjoy folks, and sorry--there's just not many links tonight.

Here's more on that theory from Samuel Lam. (Examiner.com)
The Niners met with another offensive tackle... but he's not exactly a first round prospect. And he's a big 'un. (SacBee.com)
That's really all I have tonight folks, sorry if I've made any errors or missed some, my head isn't in the right place.

John Clayton's take from ESPN:
A possible winner from the move could be the San Francisco 49ers, who were hoping one of four top tackles could fall to them with the 13th pick in the first round. The 49ers, who also have the 17th pick, may have been forced to take a defensive player or possibly running back C.J. Spiller with the 13th pick if Okung, Williams, Davis and Bulaga were off the board. To get an offensive lineman, they might have had to settle for an interior blocker such as Mike Iupati or Maurkice Pouncey.
Their hope would be for the Bills to take Clausen with the ninth pick, allowing Bulaga to fall to them at No. 13.

exactly
Draft mocks are always mocks. The same logic can take you to two diametrically opposed positions. I can’t wait 3 more weeks!
Bulaga at 13
That would just about be the perfect scenario. That way we have some really good options at 17. We could take Spiller if available, but I don’t see that as a great possibility. We could trade down and get Kyle Wilson, which takes care of two needs and pick up the G and COP back.
I'd be very happy with either Iupati or Pouncey
Though like Mangoman says if Bulaga falls to us and we grab him I’d be ecstatic

Pouncey?
I don’t know anything about him other than the fact he’s a C. Is that a position of need? Or is he just awesome value?

Definitely awesome value
Like Iupati he’s got some versatility, he can play either C or G even though he is most recognized as a C (won multiple awards in his Sr year including First-Team All-American.) If he came to us I could see him winning the job at LG. There are very few negatives to him.
Awesome value
and he’s also a very good guard

By the way...
Will someone PLEASE TELL ME what is so special about the iPad? let me rephrase that,
“what makes the iPad more useful or even useful than BOTH a smartphone AND a netbook?”
I’m willing to put money on the fact that most people who bought the iPad already have an I Phone and a very VERY expensive IBook. I think I officially hate apple. It has become a symbol for the rich and a horrible example to adequate competition in the market place. It would be one thing to have the best smart phone (which i believe they do) it is quite another to try and grip exclusive contracts (which they did).
I don't get the iPad either
it’s being sold as an advanced e-book reader, yet most people who are buying it say they’re using it for web surfing.
But it doesn’t support flash (say goodbye to YouTube and about three million other websites), and you can’t multi-task on it.
and it’s biiig. There’s a reason all the commercials for it show people propping it up on their knees.

Crap
That’s a great point about the Redskins taking an OT now that they have McNabb. I have this sinking suspicion we’re going to end up with Clausen, who’s a fine QB prospect but not what we immediately need.
