This draft certainly wasn't exciting but it's not nearly as bleak as the overreaction suggest

I’m happy with the two o-line picks in the late rounds because our offensive line is injury prone, old, and the depth sucks. We needed a QB and didn’t overpay. I think Kaepernick is good value where he was. Aldon Smith was probably a 10-15 pick in the first round but if you want him and nobody wants to trade back I’ve got no problem drafting him there. Who else would the 49ers have drafted?

LB turned FB? Not exactly unheard of the NFL. The nice thing with those types of guys is that they have an innate athleticism that will serve well on special teams. We also got a couple of DBs to compete for a nickel cornerback slot and I’m ok with that too.

Who else?

Who else would the 49ers have drafted?

I would have said Prince or Quinn, but maybe that’s because I know those names.

by brundylop on Apr 30, 2011 4:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Is Prince worth a 7th overall?

Maybe Quinn, but he’s got almost the same measurables as Smith

by smileyman on Apr 30, 2011 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah, minus the brain tumor and year's removal from playing

I’ve warmed up to the Smith pick. We’ll see how it pans out.

by brundylop on Apr 30, 2011 4:43 PM PDT up reply actions

Texan fans really wanted Smith at 11

so drafting him 7th overall isn’t that much a leap

by smileyman on Apr 30, 2011 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions

no I read up on the possible trade back situations

and none of them made sense. I can live with the pick.

by brundylop on Apr 30, 2011 4:46 PM PDT up reply actions

We overpaid for Kaepernick for sure.

by hudd07 on Apr 30, 2011 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions

a lot of people over paid for QBs

it’s a symptom of no CBA and not being able to sign FAs or trade

by Andrew9erfan on Apr 30, 2011 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions

agreed

I’m not saying that we didn’t need to in order to get him. Just saying that smiley is incorrect saying we didn’t overpay for him.

by hudd07 on Apr 30, 2011 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions

That's what happens with QBs

you overpay for them every year

by smileyman on Apr 30, 2011 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Yet we didn't with Kaepernick as you stated above?

I’m not saying we didn’t have to, just saying we did.

by hudd07 on Apr 30, 2011 4:46 PM PDT up reply actions

Not that much

we 2nd rounders and gave up pick 108 and pick 141. If we hadn’t there would’ve not been any QB worth drafting when we selected

but we did is the point

I guess we will see if there wouldn’t have been any QB worth drafting there.

I like Kaep, has HUGE upside, but I think he has a long way to go, and typically you want your 2nd round guy to contribute first year. Kaep could, but I think it would be rushing him.

by hudd07 on Apr 30, 2011 4:49 PM PDT up reply actions

kind of makes sense having more teams reach since they couldn’t fill any holes with FA. Gotta make sure you have someone

With how our draft turned out it was just a little bit

I’d probably do it again. But like I said, a guy thats only a couple picks out of the first round, is usually a first rounder that dropped, so you want him to produce the first year and i think that’s a bit early for Kaep

by hudd07 on Apr 30, 2011 4:52 PM PDT up reply actions

He can produce the first year.

Kaep said that Harbaugh said his release was good. Other than learning the complexity of the NFL he doesn’t have much to learn.

I think he was saying “not all drives end in touchdowns” but that the Kaepernick pick “was a touchdown.”

He then proceeded to say that “we had to punt a few times,” which I think means they missed out on a few players. (Maybe that’s why Baalke was pissed?)

Dude

I get it, you already posted it again…but he basically said every guy they choose they envision on special teams…I wish he said, he I picture this guy our starting DB. Instead, I picture our 3rd round pick at Nickel, I picture this guy on ST.

I just think we got a lot of mediocre football players today. We grabbed the athletes and passed up the guys with tape that know how to play football.

Hey at least he's being honest

If a coach tries to pass off a 3rd round pick as a future starter, most of the time they’re going to be wrong

by eldingo on Apr 30, 2011 5:13 PM PDT up reply actions

Um 3rd round picks ARE future starters.

Just with a development period. You don’t expect your 5th-7th rounders to develop into big names but 3rd rounders become starters at probably a 70-80% rate.

Actually I was wrong. I misread your comment

I thought you were talking about only 2008, the year where Smith was initially No. 2 on the depth chart ahead of Hill but behind JTO.

Hill beat him out in 2009.

He was appointed the starter last year over Hill. He was going to win anyway though.

That means he's signing.

No way they would give him a playbook if he hasn’t basically committed.

by Nicoyas on Apr 30, 2011 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions

You're right

I guess the contract thing is a technicality to avoid fines and stuff.

by brundylop on Apr 30, 2011 5:08 PM PDT up reply actions

It won't help

Alex is too stupid to figure out the WCO. He is too mentally slow on the field to ever be a qb of any quality.

He is stupid, he is inaccurate, he is a loser, and based on his dumbass grin after throwing picks, he doesn’t care.

Ghod how I HATE Alex Smith.

If you give a man the playbook, he’s going to sign a contract. I think they’re just waiting for the Court issue to be resolved and for the NFL to give the green light on FA signing. I’m just happy that Smith can study the playbook

Weird draft. Not bad, just odd.

1st round: I think with a proper off season Aldon Smith should be able to start at OLB. Hopefully on Monday the 8th Court doesn’t grant a longer stay. I believe Aldon will develop into a monster pass rusher. A 12-15 sacks-a-year type.

2nd round: Kaepernick needs to sit behind Alex for at least half a season. Could start games late in 2011 and will be full time starter by 2012. I think Kaep will become a good QB.

3rd round: Culliver will be the nickel CB/S in 2011. Also kick returner. He could be a starter by 2012. Supposedly has good upside. Will have to wait before I judge whether this was a good pick.

4th round: Kendall Hunter will be a good #2 RB behind Gore and supplanting Dixon. Dixon will be #3 RB in the rotation.

5th round: Kilgore will be the starting Center in 2012. He could push Chilo at RG in 2011.

6th round: Ronald Johnson will make the team as a #4 or #5 WR, slot receiver, special teamer. Nothing special. Safety Colin Jones might make the practice squad.

7th round: Bruce Miller will be the only FB on the 2011 49ers and on. Will replace Moran “Watch me backpedal my entire route” Norris. Mike Person will make the practice squad as a G/C. Curtis Holcomb will make the practice squad or get cut.

All in all, the 49ers only drafted maybe 3 or 4 future starters. But all at needed positions like OLB, QB, and C. If Aldon and Kaep both become good players by 2012 this will be a team that dominates the division for years to come. But a lack of quality CBs and D-Linemen might hold them back from being serious playoff contenders.

I’d give this draft a B-. They got the QBOTF and the pass rusher the defense sorely needs. But without getting a starting CB or any future NT or DEs, this draft wasn’t nearly as successful as it could have been.
