Your Retooled 49er Squad

Here they are . . .

Round 1: Pick 7 – Oregon DL DeForest Buckner
Round 1: Pick 28 ( via trade with the Kansas City Chiefs) – Stanford G Joshua Garnett
Round 3: Pick 5 (68th overall) – Mississippi State CB Will Redmond
Round 4: Pick 35 (133rd overall) – compensatory – LSU CB Rashard Robinson
Round 5: Pick 3 (142nd overall) – from San Diego – Appalachian State DL Ronald Blair
Round 5: Pick 6 (145th overall) – Georgia OL John Theus
Round 5: Pick 37 (174th overall) – compensatory – Ole Miss OL Fahn Cooper
Round 6: Pick 32 (207th overall) – from Denver – Louisiana QB Jeff Driskel
Round 6: Pick 36 (211th overall) – compensatory – Florida RB Kelvin Taylor
Round 6: Pick 38 (213th overall) – compensatory – Michigan State WR Aaron Burbridge
Round 7: Pick 28 (249th overall) – from Kansas City – Western Kentucky CB Prince Charles Iworah

Raaah-thurrrrr. Prince Charles? Yes! U, really, I give this a Meh. Double Meh. Baalke once again plays it like he’s immune to criticism and he’s got unlimited time to turn this thing around. First pick is solid. Helping the line? OK I get it. But . . . we’ve gone over that. 3rd round? Yet another ACL guy. This time it’s Will Redmond, a  semi-troubled guy coming off a major  knee injury. The next CB is another problem child. He sat on a season-long suspension rather than transfer, and came out early. Little game experience, but the potential . . . yadda yadda yadda.

I also don’t get passing on Cook for Driskel. He’s QB 4, so I don’t even see him making the roster. He’ll be a taxi squad guy. If that. 3 CBs drafted, and 3 O linemen tells you what the braintrust thinks of our existing guys. So, as usual, a lot of late-round fliers mixed in with the first two picks.

UDFA additions:
Kevin Anderson, LB, Stanford
Jered Bell, S, Colorado
Devon Cajuste, WR, Stanford
Demetrius Cherry, DT, Arizona
Jay Fanaika, DE, Utah
Lenny Jones, DE/OLB, Nevada
John Lunsford, K, Liberty
Bryce Treggs, WR, Cal

WRs from Cal are usually solid to great. Same with Stanfoo. Again, you have to wonder what they think of the current crop of players when they get this many  UDFA WRs.

    KNBR the Sports Leader keeps being pathetic. Stupid people yaking stupid things, someone has a birthday and they have to make a big deal about a personal matter. Then throw in that stupid obnoxious Tom Shane and his jewelry ads and you have broadcasting at it’s lowest. The Giants broadcasts are about the only decent thing on this crappy station.

    Well, CSN’s Dana Stubblefield is in the RayMac realm of trouble. Yet another case of the victim coming forward a year after the alleged assault took place, and the subsequent character assassination.

    Seeing as he isn’t working anyway, there’s nothing to fire him from.

    What a dynamite game! The Blazers blazed out to a 17 pt. lead in the 1st. The Warriors kept going on their trademarked runs to cut the lead way down, but the Blazers just kept punching back to stay in control. It wasn’t till almost halfway through the 4th before the Warriors finally tied it up. Still the Blazers kept fighting and it was back and forth for a while more. They sure don’t look like the non-playoff rebuilding team they were assumed to be. (I still have a soft spot in my heart for Rip City from my times working up there. Great area, lousy jobs.)

    Without Steph this one was crucial. Six down, ten to go…

    Considering all the pieces the Blazers lost from last year to this, right. Hell of an effort by both sides. The Dubs kept clawing back only to get stopped at every turn. Till the 4th quarter. Down by 11 to start the 4th, and they win by 11. The 36-14 run is insane. Barnes had some big points as Thompson was scuffling most of the game. Another team effort in the greatest sense of the word. The four-headed center is proving to be a pretty good asset. Actually they had 5 different guys in the 5 . . .
