It's a pretty big blow considering that's where I watch 95% of my tape. You can tell that it's been on the edge for a while but looks like it's all over now. Shame. EDIT: Nevermind.

Paxton lynch played only 4 games, he could deserve another year. And a FA like Bradford with a short term deal. And so Nelson who is the best OL of that draft. A line Bolles-Nelson-Paradis would be a very nice start to protect their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudyZ Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 8 hours ago, Forge said: Yeah, they went back to showing the vids for free too. They had tried a couple of different models; I'm assuming that they were trying to stay afloat, but looking like it's not going to work. I think a good chunk of people watch most of the prospects on there, so definitely a crappy blow to amateur scouters. Didn't they just mostly link youtube videos?! What kind of business model did they think they had?! Someone else will come up with a video aggregator to centralize all the draft-related stuff. Footballsfuture should overhaul their front page and draft prospect section and do just that. It's right in their niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parisienne Walkways, Walking by myself, etc... Watching him play, I feel like chucking my guitar and try finding a new hobby. Yes indeed. GM is amazing, and truly my favorite. Wish he was still with us, and still putting out albums.. but I feel grateful to have all of his best on hand every weekend. Songs like Still Got The Blues, The Prophet, Separate Ways, I Had a Dream, Just Can't You Go, One Day, Trouble Aint Far Behind, More Than You'll Ever Know, and so many more... feed my soul.

J-ALL-DAY Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Want the next Bowman/Willis combo? Easy, just draft Roquan Smith to pair with Foster. He should be available at #9 or #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what kind of priority that is for the staff, that's the only hesitation, but that kid is legit. Can flat out play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Smith/Foster could play in space and you could drop them in coverage. And in the run game, both are absolute animals. We would instantly have the best LB duo in the league and could build our defense around those two. Obviously we will eventually need a pass rusher from the edge, but who at #10 will be there? Possibly Key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Landry is worth that selection - I see him more as a second round guy, so those are the only two that I think could be there. Maybe Clelin Ferrell? I suppose it depends on if he declares. I think eh's only a redshirt sophomore and I don't think that he's announced yet. Smith should at least be in consideration, as should Ward / Jackson for the secondary. If we are really high on the receivers, I suppose that they are options there, but I don't love any of them as top 10 prospect types. Anything on the offensive line could make sense - Nelson, for obvious reasons. I could see McGlinchey starting at guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 If we want a running back fairly high, I wouldn't hate Sony Michel in the second.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I was going to mention Ferrell. Unlike Thomas, Ferrell is definitely a edge rusher first and foremost. Has some of Aldon in him. Count me in, add him to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If we do want Roquan Smith, then we have to pick before the Raiders, because there is no way they pass up on him right? They got a lot of backlash for passing up on Foster, and even though Bowman was damn good for them, they badly need better LB play. Smith/Bowman would be a good start along with Conley to getting that defense back to respectability. Time to watch Ferrell and Fitzpatrick.

It depends...the Raiders could really, really use some defensive line help. If they resign Bowman, they could view linebacker as somethign that they can fix later in the draft and still get a solid day one starter (look at Blake Martinez in green bay), or they can add another vet on a one year deal (Karlos Dansby?) as a bandaid if they really want to help out the defensive line. They need some interior help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalNiner Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Roquan Smith was everywhere today. I'd love him with our 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm all aboard the Nelson bandwagon, as most know, but I will admit that this is a fair point. If you just have competent guard play, you really don't need the studs with the way Jimmy plays back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's not so much about protecting Garoppolo as it is improving the run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
