Don;t worry, Bergs, I’ll bring that Watchtower video to this thread. Cool stuff. I hadn’t seen that before. Anyhow, speaking of free agency and the draft, the team’s needs are obvious. In no particular order, they are:
- Wide Receiver
- Cornerback
- Guard
- Pass Rusher
- (Possibly) Inside Linebacker (if Reuben is cut)
- (Possibly) Running Back (if Carlos isn’t re-signed)
Given that free agency starts on March 14th, we will start getting answers soon. There are a shit-ton of WRs out there, as well as some top flight CBs as well. I would like to see a mix of draft picks and free agents for these spots. By the time 9 rolls around, any number of the guys they want could be gone. So holding out hope for one guy is not really an option. The backup plans will be in full play.
Given that, I have no idea. Trumaine Johnson and Kyle Fuller are fully viable options at CB that would instantly improve the secondary. Denzel Ward is also a possibility in the draft. Get one FA and one Ward, and our CBs are pretty solid. WR? There are a boatload available in free agency. Two of the top guys, Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon, are super head-cases. Landry isn’t the suspension machine that Gordon is, so I’d pass on these guys. Marquise Lee from the Jags could be an under-the-radar guy who shines in a more prolific offense, and Allen Robinson, another Jag, could be big here.
Shit, I don’t know. The options are endless, and even the pros get this shit all wrong.
I think our first pick is . . .
- Tremaine Edwards – (if Reuben Foster goes down) –
- Denzel Ward – (if not)
Liked Carlos Hyde from what i saw and my other gu that year was Louis Nix ! jimmy garapollo and Allen Robinson went just before Chris Borland and Marcus Martin ! Martin looked pretty good to me !
Louis Nix was great in 2011. Would have been a 1st rd pick. In 2012 he had knee problems and dropped to the 3rd rd.
Best news I’ve read all night ….. 😀

Nobody noticed my 8:28 post ? I googled that draft and picked out all of the biggest names that came out of that draft. I didn’t even know who half of those people were at the time LOL.
Looking at it now the surprising thing for me is how few really big names there were that year ! It looks like a pretty crappy draft class !
I was amazed at how good your memory is. It makes more sense now.
I wish I could pick em’ like that I’d be 49ers VP lol!
Low cost free agent anyone . Low risk big reward maybe !
Guy put up nice NT numbers in 2016
