Here are the six guys the 49ers signed as UDFAs after the draft.
- Morgan Breslin, OLB, USC
- Asante Cleveland, TE, Miami
- Kory Faulkner, QB, Southern Illinois
- Fou Fonoti, OT, Michigan State
- Taylor Gabriel, WR, Abilene Christian
- LJ McCray, S, Catawba
- Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford
Morgan Breslin, a highly touted pass rusher before getting injured, is in the news for hoping to cash in on his Lloyd’s of London insurance policy that states he would get a payout if an injury hindered his draft position. As a UDFA, I guess he can say his knee injury lowered his value. Shayne Skov is another highy regarded player who was waylaid by injuries. Instead of going to the Raiders as a posible walk-on starter, he decided to come to the Niners to learn at the feet of the best guys in the business. Probably a good idea to get healthyed up and try to stick. Oft-injured Darius Fleming didn’t stick as he blew his knee out twice in a row.
LJ McCray is a small school guy who had some eye popping kick return numbers, and is a pretty solid safety to boot. He is also notable for being on NJ’s draft board as a possible late-round sleeper. Another small-school guy is QB Kory Faulkner, who Jim Harbaugh bumped into while scouting Jimmy Garapollo from Northern Illinois. The Souther Illinois QB was throwing alongside Jimmy, and Harbaugh liked him and asked for his tape. The rest is 3rd-string-QB history. I mean if you can’t beat out McLeod Bethel-Thompson . . .
Taylor Gabriel? Yikes, he’s tiny (5’8″ 165 lb) but he ran a blazing 4.28 40. He’s likely gunning for ST/KR/Gunner job, but he looks like he’d be fun to see out there at WR on occasion.
With the team loaded with talent, and the recently added 12 draftees, it’ll be tough for any of these guys to mnake the grade, but a couple should.
I’d bet on Skov and McCray.
chuck. Quit throwing a tantrum because you can’t play with the big dogs. You run out of liberal bumper sticker logic and resort invariably to name-calling. That’s your game just like every eight-year-old school yard bully.
Thankfully most of them grow up and abandon their childish hissy fits in favor of reasoned logic and a realization that there is more than your point of view in this world. Others, like you, can’t mature beyond their eight-year-old spoiled brat ‘everything must be my way or I’ll scream and hold my breath and call you names’ mentality. Good luck with your pitiful ‘I’m a wannabe blog bully who needs my own blog to do it’ life. That’s as good as it’s going to get. Fuck off.
Reasoned logic? Right. Answer the question, skippy.
You’re scared of your own shadow, skippy. Answer the question. Is the country in better shape than it was 6 years ago?
I think one of the most interesting things I see in America today is the cynicism on both sides of the isle that I could honestly see one day making interesting bed fellows in a revolution. I know nobody here thinks of revolution in America, particularly not with America being the strongest country in the world, but I see a ton of unrest on both sides of the extreme – more than I ever have. On one side you have the “Nevada Ranchers,” and on the other side you have hippies who stand exactly opposite of one another but still finding a common distrust of the government and a desire for both extremes to protect their liberties. Both sides are very different, but arrive at the same conclusion. The civil war saw brother fighting brother. If there ever is a revolution in America, and I think there will be, there will be some interesting people lining up side-by-side to fight the government.
If the have-have not paradigm keeps rolling unfettered another 15-20 years, I see revolt. If you go far enough to the left and far enough to the right, you eventually meet on the other side.
You just blew my feeble mind…
Rollerball meets Hunger Games.
Go stick pins in your Obama dolls, NoFear. Yeah,we are screaming down the road to fascism and socialism and we don’t even know it!!!!!!!!!. Boo!
When Donald Trump is on your side, well, that kinda sums things up.
Well, enough of this fun. Bout time for NoFear to unplug the hyperbole machine and wind down . . .
Nitey night folks.
And I quote Sargent Schultz, ‘ I KNOW NOTHING!”
Try to keep it on topic, NoFear. Way to kill a thread. Spout your insane conspiracy theories elsewhere. The slippery slope to fascism lies in your own head.
New thread is up.
