2013 NFL DRAFT aka BAALKE BASH

[ChrisPozz]

That was the first time the Bears took a guard in round one since 1960.

So would you be happier with Reid or Eifert?

It's pretty close for me. Both are the best at their respective positions. I actually had Eifert a little higher, but FS is a much bigger need in SF.

Eifert. I don't have Reid in my top 5 safeties. Maybe #5 but that is as high as he goes. Eifert might be the best offensive playmaker in the draft.

If New Englad gets Tank I'll be pissed.

Floyd drops 20 spots

 

[NinerSickness]

Solid pick for the Vikings.

 

[NinersFan80]

Wow they took Floyd?

 

[clyde_carbon]

Stud. Vikes just got a steal.

 

[michaelwarner]

Reid was my favorite safety in the draft. We didnt give up much to get him. I just figured he would make it to 31/34.
Clearly some other teams liked him as much as I did.

This.

 

[Dodub]

interesting

 

[ChrisPozz]

Darren Rovell:

If you believed Sharrif Floyd was going 3, he lost about $13 million in total contract $ tonight.

 

[Yadahell]

I would think Rhodes goes next to Indy unless they go with Allen...

 

[Yadahell]

Eifert. I don't have Reid in my top 5 safeties. Maybe #5 but that is as high as he goes. Eifert might be the best offensive playmaker in the draft.

I think Tavon Austin would have something to say about that.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Werner to the Colts? Maybe Carradine but they've been linked to Werner. Jones and Okafor, too.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Wow, yep. Werner it is.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I think Tavon Austin would have something to say about that.

I said might be. Austin is the only player than would have an argument.

ESPN Take on 9ers drafting Reid

What he brings: Reid's 2012 film was not quite as good as his 2011 tape, but he came on late in the season and showed how good he can be. He has great size and length, as well as excellent fluidity. He needs to clean up his angles in run support, though his range and closing burst provide him with a lot of upside both in coverage and as a run defender.

How he fits: This defense is very aggressive, and it also wants its safeties to be effective in sub packages and stay on the field for all three downs. The 49ers will play combo coverages. They are outstanding tacklers, and Reid is a guy who seems to fit the mold. San Francisco lost free safety Dashon Goldson in free agency, and strong safety Donte Whitner is entering the final year of his contract. The 49ers have a couple young guys they like as depth players, but they don't appear to be ready. So the coaching staff will likely expect Reid to step in and start at free safety. As mentioned, one of the unique qualities of the 49ers defense is to have guys that never have to come off the field. Because of that, they are tough to expose in matchup situations. That should be a strength of Reid's.

CP, Tank, Jones, Rhodes, Hopkins, Hunter. I'm getting excited.

 

[mem49er]

Stud. Vikes just got a steal.

Agreed.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Vikings and Texans with WRs here? I had Hopkins to Houston just because he's such a good system fit but they could get Patterson instead. Hunter to Minny?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Vikes took Rhodes.
