Minny loving ND's secondary

I hated their Harrison Smith pick, I don't like him at all.

Andrew Brandt:

Fifth round signing bonuses range from about $215,000 to about $145,000 from top to bottom of the round.

 

[Ltrain]

any chance we go with McNutt if he's there? I like his value now, but we have a logjam at WR.

 

[ChrisPozz]

My next two choices would be Cam Johnson and Markelle Martin and then would look to see what I could get for the last two picks for next year's draft.

I REALLY want Chris Polk and a number of WRs I have said (Marvin Jones, McNutt, Kearse, Hemingway) but they probably wouldn't prefer to go with another RB or WR.

ESPN reporting that 49ers plan to use LeMichael James as a goal line back and back up returner to Ginn this season and then as a multi-down back in future years. Not as a third down back.

 

[Dodub]

Pozz what do you think about the OG we took?

I actually was hoping for more of a G/T swing man to replace Snyder.

 

[FourBeeDen]

hmmmm.. For some reason, I get the feeling that the Nines might go for Jeff Fuller. Maybe I'm just equating this to his Dad..

 

[NinerSickness]

I could live with Cam Johnson. Good call Pozz.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Zebrie Sanders to Buffalo. That's another predictable pick in my opinion.

 

[bigpb72]

i hope we go Billy Winn bosie state or Chase Mannifield or iioka that would be a well rounded 4 picks for us

Pozz what do you think about the OG we took?

I actually was hoping for more of a G/T swing man to replace Snyder.

Here is a compilation of all my posts on it:

So my thoughts are he's fairly physical but needs alot of developing. Needs alot of work in the weight room. Not a great pass protector. Sloppy lower body. Struggles with quick, speed peneatrators. Fletcher Cox absolutely manhandled him when they played.

Too high for me but I love the violence he plays with.
Kilgore and Looney have some similarities. Kilgore was one of the nastiest players you'll ever meet but didn't need as much developing in the lower half like Looney does. Kilgore got Larry Allen comparisons in the nasty department. Looney has some of that but not nearly as much.

A number of people had him closer to the 6th round as well. I would have preferred to see this move in the late 5th but what's done is done.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Looney could be the eventual replacement for Goodwin if Kilgore locks up RG.

 

[ChrisPozz]

De'Quan Menzie to KC. Yet another player whose abilities scream Pioli.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Dennard, Minnifield, Polk, Criner, Marvin Jones, Rainey, Streeter, McNutt are some of the names still out there.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Lions just took Chris Greenwood out of Albion. The 3rd player chosen I couldn't say much, if anything at all about. I know the school is in Michigan but that's it.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Yikes. Chris Greenwood had a 43 inch vert at his pro day.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Rams take Rokevious Watkins. A huge project (literally, he's nearly 340) but could be solid in the future. I was very intrigued. I wonder if they see him as a guard or tackle initially. Had some weight and conditioning issues.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Cardinals go with another popular name - Senio Kelemete.

 

[FourBeeDen]

I wonder if the Cards take a developmental QB here

Matt Miller:

Team source tells me that Polk's shoulder is the issue. They have him late round red flag due to shoulder. Similar to Arian Foster's fall.
