Good idea, let's copy the Lions and Hawks and keep pouring picks and money into WR position.
Would you turn down the idea of having Maclin and Jackson on the 9ers? Crabtree and Bryant would be down right nasty.
Did it occur to you that maybe they could afford to take those guys because their OL is considered one of the best in the league?
Did it ever occur to you that we can draft O Linemen in other rounds besides the first? We may go after a few guys in FA so we can burn a first on a luxury pick and he would be needed. We lose 3 WR's at the end of the year and we need a KR/PR, Dez would fit in perfectly.
Bryant is awesome but I wouldn't take him. If you want a KR/PR, CJ Spiller is your man.
Drafting that high I want the player to get on the field, Dez would have a better shot getting serious playing time compared to Spiller. Both would be great additions but don't think we would shy away from the possibility.
I see what you're saying. I hate to say this, but Frank is not getting any younger and the beating he's been taking is finally starting to show. We've seen a lot more of Coffee this year than I seriously thought we would. If we sign Spiller, trust me, he will see the field quite often whether it be at running back or wide receiver.
A good example is Percy Harvin. He was draft in the first round (22nd) and he doesn't play every down. Sydney Rice and Berrian are starting and the RB is of course AP. But Harvin still gets a lot of playing time because of his versatility. You can put him as a RB or a WR and he gets in about 80% of the time. And Harvin is the KO returner. I think Spiller can play the same role for us as a rookie and like SF69ers said, Gore is not getting any younger and Gore seems to have yearly ankle injuries that causes him to miss games.
I really feel that Spiller can really complete our team by giving us that dynamic , speedy playmaker. Like MadDog says, a Chris Johnson for us. If Alex works out, we have a solid QB throwing to Crabtree and Morgan. Brandon Jones has potential to be the speedy WR. Gore the tough runner. Spiller will be that home run hitter.
We just need an o-line which I think we will address with our first 1st round pick (OT) and in the 2nd rd and beyond for Guards.
Very true....but I have a lil insight on a specific team. My buddy is a Browns fan, I know sad isn't it . Anyways they are in dire need of a RB, their OL is actually not too bad and their WR's are pretty good as well. What they are missing is a RB, Lewis is sucking major ass and isn't getting it done. I would seriously consider them in the market for Spiller or Best (if he declares).
I remember there is another RB that is thought to be the first RB off the board. Jonathan Dwyer out of GT I think.

Either way I think they go RB, Clausen will stay for his senior year.

LOL... Great. Crabtree and Bryant and no healthy QB to get them the ball after our QB gets crushed every week. Offensive line , offensive line, offensive line. Keep saying that because that is what needs to be addressed more than anything and certainly more than a WR.

People scoffed when Chris Johnson was drafted out of East Carolina by the Titans. The same for Darren Sproles, Maurice Jones-Drew. Nobody laughs anymore. Speed kills. This team will be explosive with Crabtree, Spiller, Davis, Gore, Morgan.

Courtesy of the Great Blue North Draft, who gave the draft order, the Niners are currently on the clock for the 11th and 15th overall picks. The good news is that the Panthers have a murderers row of games coming up, which should push their selection back up the board. The bad news is that the worst six teams are so bad that they may never drift further up the board than number 7. We will see.
The numbers on the end is winning percentage of opponents. The lower the winning percentage, the higher the draft selection.
Here is the projection I see for the draft at this point.
1 St. Louis 0-7 .535
Jake Locker- I'll stick with the guy with the strongest arm and biggest upside to go first overall, to revamp this terrible offense.
2 Tampa Bay 0-7 .584
Ndamukong Suh- The Bucs have to rebuild, and Suh has been dominant this year. Could provide the best interior defender on the team since Warren Sapp.
3 Tennessee 0-6 .553
Sam Bradford- So many variables for Bradford. Will his surgery go well, and when will he return to throwing the ball. Will he be able to work out for scouts early enough before the draft for a proper evaluation.
4 Kansas City 1-6 .548
Eric Berry- The team has a billion needs, and Berry is simply too good to slide much further. A real difference maker from Day One, which they desperately need.
5 Cleveland 1-6 .558
Jimmy Clausen- Brady Quinn is going out the door, and Derek Anderson is currently ranked 35th in the NFL. Enter the newest kid from Notre Dame.
6 Detroit 1-5 .553
Gerald McCoy- The Lions need a stellar defender up the middle, and McCoy provides explosiveness.
7 Washington 2-5 .500
Russell Okung- The first OT off the board, and a good pick for a team that is going to probably lose Chris Samuels for good.
8 Oakland 2-5 .543
Taylor Mays- Al Davis loves speed, and guys who hit. Mays gives his team both, and in the end, his decision is the only one that matters.
9 Seattle 2-4 .446
Dez Bryant- The Seahawks do have other needs, but witness the Niners come to life with Crabtree. To match the Niners in this area, the team picks up this year's stud WR, in Bryant.
10 Miami 2-4 .543
Ricky Sapp- Just taking a hunch that Sapp runs a blazing forty time, looks ultra athletic, and the Dolphins look for a long-term replacement to the Porter-Taylor OLB combo.
11 San Francisco (from Carolina) 2-4 .567
Charles Brown- As predicted a few weeks ago, the USC LT is beginning to blaze up the board. Both writers for NFL Draft Scout now have him in the first round. He's just a super athletic kid, with lots of room to grow.
12 Buffalo 3-4 .471
Trent Williams- The Bills need help at OT, and Williams is a good prospect who can come in to keep Trent Edwards upright and alive.
13 Jacksonville 3-3 .433
Carlos Dunlap- Nobody knows what his position will be at the next level, but he can start from Day One as the LDE for the Jags, and move inside on passing downs.
14 San Diego 3-3 .467
Arthur Jones- The team needs to rebuild its DL, which is struggling against the run in 2009. Jones takes over at LDE.
15 San Francisco 3-3 .470
CJ Spiller- The Niners' second first rounder is a luxury pick, and this is quite a luxury. Spiller provides world class speed, a third down back, a punt and kickoff return specialist (which may be the team's biggest need going into 2010), and an explosive receiver in the flats.

MD, you must be assuming Smith is the answer, because if not, I believe we will do all we can to trade up and pick one of the top 6 QBs.
I think Smith is the answer. He's got all the tools, and just needs to put it together. Sometimes the light bulb clicks on, and I think whether it be now or later, he is going to be a very successful QB in the NFL.

Dwyer has a very good chance of being the first guy off the board. He has that size to be an every down back.

Man, that would be crazy if the Browns reunited Spiller with James Davis. Davis is actually wearing Spiller's number (28) for the Browns, and they're like best friends. The Browns really liked James Davis after getting him for a steal in the sixth freaking round, and he actually started the third game before having to go on IR with a shoulder injury.

. If a QB isn't there or isn't the right guy I can see them targeting a RB.

I would seriously consider them in the market for Spiller or Best (if he declares).
I remember there is another RB that is thought to be the first RB off the board. Jonathan Dwyer out of GT I think.
Either way I think they go RB, Clausen will stay for his senior year.
The Browns will take a QB. Mangini is going to want "his guy". Or maybe even someone for that horrid defense.
The problem I see is what if no QB's are available....I know sounds dumb right? For instance I think Clausen and Locker could actually stay for their senior years, so who would they go after...Bradford . If a QB isn't there or isn't the right guy I can see them targeting a RB.
Well in that case, I hope they don't select CJ Spiller.
If the situation plays out like I described above......I can see the Browns picking him.

Thought about it a little more, and honestly don't really like Charles Brown for our team. Granted, we fail in all aspects of offense lately, but the one thing I find especially frustrating is our inability to convert on 3rd and short, because we don't have any dominant run-blocking linemen, the kind that can get the job done even when the other team knows that you are going to run behind him.
In short, I guess what I'm saying is Iupati ftw lol.
