For the near term, I agree with them. I don't see any of the 49er draft picks contributing right away. For the long term, that remains to be seen. They drafted some guys who have potential. Harbaugh has made some good picks in the past and some really bad ones, so we'll see.
I disagree completely. I see Reid, McDonald, Patton playing good portions. If tank can recover he will see time as well.

He meant the real rookies that were taken after our first four picks. The first four rookies aren't real rookies because they were taken too high. Or something. It makes no sense. Or we have a secret plan to plug all those holes with random people off the street.
yep, would have to think Reid will play a lot? not going to claim every snap from game one, but certainly enough to contribute.
don't know how much is 'good portions', but agree McDonald will get his reps too. not as much as Walker had last season, but certainly enough to consider him 'contributing'.
who was that guy drafted especially for ST's?

Patton is only a project. I saw him once in college and he got shut down. I think they are looking at him down the road. McDonald has only played in a spread offense as a "wide tight end", he'll need a lot of work as well but could be a player someday. I agree with you that Reid could get playing time because the need there is so big. In my opinion though he took a huge step back last year at LSU from the season before. I'm not sure what we have in him.
you've changed your opinion on Reid contributing, and thats fine. what about Moody? if they drafted him specifically for ST's, doesn't he have a decent chance?
