Romor: LaMichael James to the Eagles

@MikeClayNFL

Suppose the LaMichael James to Eagles rumors are coming soon. Could make some sense as a depth back/returner. Wouldn't spend more than 7.

I wouldnt' even call that a rumor. It's a rumor of upcoming rumors. If we trade James for a 7th, I will be really, really upset about that pick. And I have been upset about it from the time it was announced to the present, basically. That entire draft was just a debacle.

I wouldn't mind trading James to the Eagles for a 7th. The guy shown he's pretty useless, I wonder if we can get Arrelious Benn, AJ's former teammate.

LOL. Pozz hated that pick too when it was made.

I felt indifferent about it I thought it was a Greg Roman's plea to get him a speedster for his offense so I didn't mind the high pick only because at that time I was so high on Roman as an OC.

Crims, if we could get anything in return out of LMJ's (stock is very low at this point) it's a win. We plan on cutting him anyway, so let's get anything out of this bad investment. Who knows, we might get ourselves another Marcus Cooper (a great 7th round project to develop).

That's horrible if just a 7th.... Really really bad.... That speed for nothing...ughhhhh

So another team could pick up our 7th???

lol. I think they learned a vital lesson now. I bet they don't gamble like that again next year with a promising player. They got to find a way to fit this person to the 53...

I would be happy if we got anything for him at this point. He is not NFL fast and has shown it, the guy really doesn't have a place on this team and will be cut anyway.

You never know, there could be a KR/PR out there from some unknown tiny school that runs a 4.3 40 and is just waiting for someone to give him a chance in the 7th round. Of course I haven't researched this but there seems to always be those guys out there. I'd make this move.

 

[bvanthielriceyoung]

It sucks but I dont think his value(7th rd pick) is much more than that. He's damn near useless and just taking up a roster spot for us.

I guess I would be happy with anything since he's probably not making our team next year with Gore, Lattimore, Dixon, and Hunter.

I missed this the first time, coming out of Illinois I really really liked Benn...

disappointed he hasn't made the splash yet but it was TB afterall....

I'd always welcome Arrelious.

 

[sjballer03]

If Chip Kelly is only going to offer a 7th for a former player, that says it all.

 

[tomikcon1971]

Two places he might be semi productive.......

1) A screen heavy offense, but I think he has 20% of the talent and toughness of a Sproles

2) The Canadian Football League

First we have to get a punt returner. If we get one then James becomes expendable.

 

[AU_Fever]

LMJ for a 7th round. It's terrible, but he has no use with the Niners. It's worse than being on a clearance bin.

Joe Looney and and LaMichael James are the only players left from the 2012 49er draft class. However, in that draft they did trade away 3 draft picks.

I don't think it would be hard for the brass to find a better punt returner than James. Might as well give Will Tukuafu a shot

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

What a waste of a pick from baalke and co.

Would of been nice to see our coaches actually try plays that benefit him. As we have been screaming for those type of plays.

In terms of catching the ball, sure. But James was an effective returner when he caught it cleanly. He was 10th in yards per return at 10.9. He fair caught about 1/3, which is in line with many top returners (Ginn fair caught half this year, for comparison). He never broke one, but he consistently picked up good yardage.

I'd be more than happy with that trade

I liked the pick. I thought he would be another Darren Sproules.
