Been saying this all along and it was only 15 picks away from where we drafted ours.

Absolutely no way of knowing if the picks given up for Lance would've made an impact on this team,that trade is looking worse by the day.

Moody was never gonna make it to the Niners. And neither was Ryland. Elite pick by Lynch. Got ahead of it.

I'm not even at Kelee Ringo fan in the slightest, but it's comical how badly they're [eagles] running laps around the 49ers draft wise. Did any of the players they drafted fill "immediate holes" or starter positions? Of course not, but there's no arguing that they didn't make their team better. They're having the best draft of any team despite already having a top three NFL roster. All this "we really needed a kicker, only open spot!" is bogus. Unless Latu completely surprised, there are inexpensive options with similar tools available in free agency every year. Corners, linemen, pass rushers? Not so much

We actually did need a kicker because Gonsalez may be a head case and the the kid from Michigan can kick it deep improving our ST. Not sure about the 3rd round though.

I remember years ago on this board how bad we roasted the team for drafting a RB that had ACL surgery on both knees. Frank Gore turned out all right. It's a crap shoot and I'm hoping for more late round gems because that's where we seem to hit on.

I'll just continue to preach process over results. For all we know Moody will become the greatest pick ever and every eagle pick will bust out of the league.

As an aside: it is not inaccurate to say that Moody will not be there if we waiting til the 5th. My point is: who cares!

This draft is frustrating

What did you expect when the first pick wasn't until #99. Remember we got CMC last year and that's why we didn't have a 2nd rounder. The picks we lost when we moved up to take Lance ended up being late 1st rounders. None of the guys selected there would have made a big impact on this team. If Trey had stayed healthy we might be looking at one of the better young QBs in the NFC. Instead we're looking at a 3rd year player that still has to prove he can play. I still think the risk was worth taking. Sometimes risky moves work and sometimes they don't but if you have to go for it once in awhile.

Right? You can bring in 8 kickers on a tryout with big legs with the highest of stakes and find out who can perform and who can't. Next.

....well,...one day, we've gotta see him play.

You can't really predict a guy never having a real opportunity to play after 2 years on the roster and if you did, you certainly wouldn't draft him in the 1st round.

But when is hindsight not 20/20?

Regardless of what, we can't judge Lance until he has some extended time on the field,...and that's whether he's here or somewhere else.

Unless Latu completely surprises, that's a major mistep as well. There are inexpensive options with similar tools available in free agency every year. Corners, linemen, pass rushers? Not so much

EVEN if Moody wasn't going to be there, you can't say that we had other needs who were sitting there.. PK can be found anywhere..

Kyle and John obviously care about the position. having consistency at that particular position is more important than wHo CaR3s!!

Naturally. If the first one goes in the 3rd, it drives up the round for everyone else to make their ST picks.
