Niners trade for Jonathan Martin.

[AngryNiner]

Sign me up. I can also play horribly in any position on the O-Line, and for a fraction of the cost.

Meh, he's an alright backup at guard. But who knows, maybe you could be just as productive.

 

[Xponentialchaos]

I'd be the worst lineman in the league. Yea, I think I'd be just as productive.

I thought Snyder's position was, "Oh shit, we lost a starting OL. Snyder, get in there and try not to screw things up!"

On a semi-serious note, Snyder was a college OT who started out at OT in the NFL, kind of found a home at OG, but has really made a living from being passable - and at times just barely - at several OL spots. I think Martin is fairly well suited to that role.

Hmmm. We'll see I guess. I bet he quits on the 49ers just like did to the Dolphins.

I don't think he quit on Harbaugh at Stanford -- and they weren't exactly a finesse team.

It would make you very happy if he does quit on the team. But the Niners won't miss a beat.

He wont quit, he will be like Alex Boone was for us, fill in on the OL when needed

That's why it wouldn't bother me a bit if this chump quit again.

I doubt a college locker room is anything close to an NFL one.

The Niners drafted Snyder as a Guard I believe.

 

[purguy12]

Overall we got a 2nd rd talent for nothing. If Harbaugh get his act together he can be a starter. He has the talent.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

They drafted him with OG in mind, I believe, but he ended up starting most of his games the first three years at OT. I believe he kept getting thrust into action when Jonas Jennings couldn't (or wouldn't) stay healthy.

Martin passed his physical today and the trade is official.

Pozz, what are his chances of making the 53-man roster? I'm thinking Goodwin and Snyder will be gone and Kilgore will start at center. That would leave Looney as the lone backup.

 

[purguy12]

He will make it.

If he remains healthy and is committed, he'll most likely make the roster.

As much as I've always hated Martin (even when he was in college), he's better than Adam Snyder. Adam Snyder is the worst offensive lineman on planet earth. I haven't seen the OL in other galaxies, but I'm sure they're better than Snyder.

And to think within the multiverse there is probably a version of Snyder that is a franchise LT.

We aren't half the teams in the league. A mid round pick starting for SF is a different situation than a mid round pick starting for Oakland.

Also, where are people getting the idea that it's a mid round pick? Maybe it's a conditional 7th, with the condition being he makes the team.

He's going to compete with Snyder for the swing tackle position. He has no guaranteed money and makes 825k this year. If he doesn't make the team we may be on the hook for nothing.

Also, if it's a conditional pick, it will be a 2015 pick.

Oh look, I nailed the Jon Martin trade too.

Maybe I kind of know what I'm talking about with these contracts.

This one wasn't extremely tough to guess:

It's probably a 7th conditional on whether or not he makes the 53-man roster.

Yeah, but geniuses on here were throwing around a 3rd or 4th.
