I mentioned this in the previous thread, and I think it holds true, that the team who gives up sacks a lot more than it creates them, will look to bolster a shakey line through free agency rather than the draft.
We have very little draft capital, and I think we need to upgrade too many other areas to use a pick on an offensive lineman. Well, maybe one. But nothing higher than a 4th rounder.
Our tackles are set in ageless Joe Staley, and Mike McGlinchey. The rest is up for grabs. Westie Richberg (Richie Westberg?) is coming off a sub-par year that he attributed for being dinged up. As of now, Person and Tomlinson are our right and left guards with Magnusen and Garnett being the backups.
So, if there was work to be done there, it would be at guard. Our guards are OK, but they leave a bit to be desired pass protection-wise. We gave up 48 sacks. Not the horrendous number of 62 given up by Houston, but we were 9th worst in sack totals,and 4th in yards lost.
One guy we are apparently interested in draft-wise is Garrett Bradbury. He had played both guard and center well in college, and could very well slip into Tomlinson’s spot. He’d be a 3rd rounder if the yokels are right. He ran a 4.9 40 and possesses the later quickness desired by our outside zone blocking scheme.
As far as who will be available after the draft? Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.
The Bucs have a 7 week stretch without a home game, from Sept. 22-Nov. 10. Their sole “home” game in that stretch is in London.
LOL
The Raiders go from Sept. 15-Nov. 3.
LOL
Yeah, and they have a ‘home’ game in London as well.
The ghost of Pete Rozelle sticks it to re-un-dead Al.
Just be thankful that my Louisiana mafia connections were able to give you a mystery power outage so you could attempt a miracle comeback in the Super Bowl vs. Baltimore and then choke it away at the five yard line.
I love this stuff! Ha ha

My prediction is you’ll go 0-16 and Jimmy the G-Strap will do nothing but pornhub stints.
The Niners have been lucky the last couple of years not going to the UK. They are playing more games over there so our # is bound to be called pretty soon. We are also up for that fucking espn TV show that follows the team around for a year. That is a total distraction and they shouldn’t even do it.
If we have a decent season i think we go next year.
New thread is up. Kevin, I’ll move your link to the new thread.
