Draft Day Part Deux

Eric Reid, come on down! The 49ers traded up to get a safety. It wasn’t the one I expected, but there you have it. They obviously have seen more and know more than the average fan, but still people will bitch.

The Niners still have 3 picks today. I’m still of a mind hey go DL with their 2nd round CB with their next 2nd rounder, and maybe TE?WR with the 3rd round. Meetings all morning. See ya later.

    Niner draft is already solid. They got the safety, DLman and TE that they needed. And managed to pickup more picks including a 3rd next year. Baalke is getting it done…

    Honey Badger to ‘Zona. Not that I’d pull for a rival, but I hope the kid gets it together and makes a career for himself.

    Honey Badger went to the Cards.

    Hey, in New Mexico I can’t easily send a birthday present to a guy on the Peninsula. I have a feeling it might be his last.
    Willie Howard Mays
    May 6.
    That’s the next stop on Bay Area Sports and it will be ignored by the media because of Willie’s age and failing health.
    “Say Hey!”
    Let’s shower him with little gifts. He has money, he doesn’t need that.
    Just to let him know some of us watched him play at Candlestick, and have never forgotten.
    (I thought I’d put this non sequitur in before I got sidetracked again. When I have to show ID here in NM, I sometimes accidentally pull out Willie’s card.)
    OK back to the NFL draft.

      How about pushing to get his Godson into the Hall of Fame? The best way to do it is to expose the self-righteous sportswriters and force them to admit they have already voted a steroid user into the HOF. Thomas Boswelll knows of one, make them out the guy and explain why his induction was so much different than Bonds or McGwire.

      • RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

        Willie was a clean player, and a good man who came to the door to give away Halloween candy many years after his playing days were over.
        His Godson? A friend pitched against him in Senior League, and even then Barry was great. He didn’t need the droids.
        Bobby was a bigtime womanizer, alcoholic, and generally pain in the butt to every team that ever had him. Ever consider that Willie may have tried to steer Barry away from the life he chose?
        Willie Howard Mays was never like that as a player or a person.
        Prove me wrong and I’ll recant.

      • RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

        Of course I’ve deified Willie. It’s his birthday coming up!
        OK NFL draft review. Whew, where’e my NT?

      • JDR's avatar JDR says:

        Willie used greenies, stole signs and, had they been available, would have taken drugs that would have extended his career and made him better. Ted Williams said all the same things as Bonds and worse (he refused to acknowledge the fans after the first time they booed him). Barry got scapegoated for being better than everyone else at a time when everyone was only realizing what players had been dong to get better for the last 20-30 years. Even Hank Aaron has been implicated, but the writers of this generation will never acknowledge it because it would mean acknowledging that they compromised their own morals to further their careers.

      • RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

        Not arguing, really. Ted Williams had 20-10 eyesight which made him a Combat Ace both in WWII and Korea.
        I’ve visited some of the ballfields where Willie learned how to play. They weren’t taking greenies then.
        C’mon, Willie is not perfect (I’ll write about Joe M and Dwight C in Los Gatos sometime, if I knew who those guys were).
        Not that I approve, but you just told me the Easter Bunny died. It’ll take awhile.

      • RTFirefly's avatar RTFirefly says:

        I really like the Easter Bunny. No insult intended, your points were valid, right on target.

    Hard to believe Keenan Allen still available in the mid third round. I’ve seen this kid play at Memorial Stadium around half a dozen times. He is a man. He can play. There must be some dirt on him out there. Whoever takes him will get a player at very good value…

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

      Well, he just went to the Chargers at the 76th pick. Rivers can deliver to him, hopefully. The Chargers got a good player, wish the Niners had got him…

    • Chico's avatar Chico says:

      Even on the Cal boards, they’re saying he didn’t interview well at all.. A ‘me I me I’ guy.. Good for the Chargers, they got a good one. The only downside is lack of speed, but possession? He’s the man.

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

        Trust me, he’s fast enough. He caught a lot of balls even though the QB, his half brother, was barely qualified to be a Div II QB…

      • Chico's avatar Chico says:

        I saw him get caught from behind many times.. Fast enough, but not a burner.

        How are you liking the Maynard highlights? Every time a defensive player from the Pac 12 (or Ohio State) gets his highlights on ESPN, it’s Maynard hitting the dirt.. Embarrassing.

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

        He’s not a burner, but he’ll catch it when it’s near, and he can run routes. Manningham,+,. and bigger. Anyway, we didn’t get him, and I still think we need another WR. Maynard was a joke as a QB except against poor competition. Guy couldn’t read coverage. It was a package deal for Tedford to take Maynard to get Allen….

      • Chico's avatar Chico says:

        Yep.. And Tedford bought it hook-line-sinker.. Good riddance to Tedford.. I remember you calling for his head LONG before others were. You were right. He lost the team.

        Stoked on Dykes.

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

        Dykes better work out, because he’s a real good ‘ol boy, which is WAY out of the ordinary for Cal. If he spits the bit after 3 years, he’ll be gone right after Barbour. She’s hooked her future to a Bubba type to fill that stadium and sell all the PCLs, so he needs to deliver an offense and the goods…

    Yeah, he ain’t; the usual Mike White ethereal thinker type, that;s for sure.
