Aldon Smith, Kaepernick, Bruce Miller, Chris Culliver, Kendall Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yeah, it's 2011. but 15 is actually not bad by Baalke standards. It's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think 2011, too. I think. In defense of 2015, Tartt and Brown might have more longevity. Armstead is a real wildcard if he can stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Warner isn't the prototypical SAM, his length and coverage ability may make sense there. People tend to forget the SAM drops into coverge ALOT in this primary Cover 3 scheme. Warner has been better than I thought, taking on blocks with his stack and shed. May not be as big as you would like at SAM but if we're trying to get our 3 best LBs on the field, especially from a coverage standpoint, the trio of Smith, Foster, and Warner make alot of sense. You just hope Warner can hold the edge in the run game but I rather it be him than Watson tbh. But honestly, I think Marsh will be the starter. It's where he played primarily in Seattle so he has experience there, in this scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 2010 had to be given consideration if you're crediting him for the draft. Davis and iupati and Bowman. Kyle Williams was a fine sixth rounder. Davis was a flake, but good for a couple of years. Iupati was a very solid pick. His refusal to re-sign him was a different issue. Bowman was an elite stud who may have been even better had he not shredded his legs. Still acquired good talent in that draft, was just short lived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where he played primarily in Seattle so he has experience there, in this scheme. I proposed it too. Not sure it works, but can't hurt to try. He is only ten pounds lighter than wright coming out, and though admittedly not as long which could be an issue shedding, I don't see why you don't try it out. I'll never complain about the team trying to put it's best players on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just taking on O-Lineman and TEs, while maintaining his run fits is what will worry me. Thats where that extra 10 pounds comes in handy.

Wright is about two inches longer there I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I do think them getting rid of Eli bodes really well for Pita and other guys (apparently Nzechka or w.e). Guy really did nothing of value and is completely replaceable. Now here's to hoping we see Armstead get dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straighthate Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Harold was the guy on the team that I wanted off it the most. Never saw him do anything. For the life of me I could never figure out why he was in the NFL. Seemed like every time I noticed him in a game it was because I was trying to figure out who just got flattened so easily.

mw2noobbuster Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 He was a power rusher when the Niners drafted him and couldn't find a way to convert to becoming a speed guy on the edge. He's a good person and I wish him all the best, but his position felt more and more up in the air, the longer the played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 2010 and 2011 were his best draft classes. But downhill after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it was later revealed that Singletary beat the table for Mays. Baalke really didn't like him but he tried appease the HC at the time. It does go on his record but I won't fault him for that. The same way I won't fault Lynch if Joe Williams doesn't pan out. It's a fine line there in pleasing your coaching staff, while also staying true to your evauls. Sometimes you bite the bullet and take the guy you might not otherwise if your coaching staff really likes a particular player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
