Wow, an actual good summary of the situation. Thank you.

I meant higher floor. You quoted me before I could edit. Lol

Lower upside? LOL. Moseley looks like a star. He shuts down everyone he plays. Witherspoon is a scrub who gets burned by everyone he plays. They are too caught up in height, weight, speed measurements. You just want somebody who plays great. That's Moseley.

are you sure? I saw him high fiving Sherman when he got the pick.
Solomon Thomas, Rueben Foster, Joe Williams, Akhello Witherspoon, Mike McGlinchey, Pettis ... Got Lucky with easy pick of Bosa. Look at the rest of the high picks. This team is being carried by Kyle Shanahan. Thank god we have the genius..

I think McGlinchey is playing pretty well actually. Nothing wrong with him.

He gets beat by good edge ruishers easily. Not worthy of top 10 pick. Could've have probably got him in the 2nd round. Wanted Tremaine Edmunds instead since the Rueben Foster pick was a disaster...

For some reason, newbs and national TV broadcasters give credit to Lynch for drafting Armstead and Buckner. Hilarious.

Stay the F off the field. I was hoping he got burned for a td when we had a huge lead but I'll take the way he got burned early. This way he gets benched for the rest of the playoffs. If he gave up 80-100 yards receiving he would still be starting next week. Glad it played out exactly how we wanted. Our team is better against the pass and run now

Ahkello Witherspoon had 13 pass breakups in 2016, tied for most in the country. #49ers

That's because teams knew he could be tested and did so often. Like saying I eat a lot of salad because my fat ass puts lettuce on my bacon cheeseburgers

.. I THINK BECAUSE we had his buddy and his mentor in RASHARD " THE THIEF " ROBINSON !!??

This is f**king dumb. Like seriously, seriously stupid. If you actually watched the draft for more then 30 seconds then you would have known that the Raiders were going to take him had we not won that coin toss.
i dont think hes 100% he was solid, what the hell happened to him?

One thing I'll say for him, he could have gone and sulked and gotten all down and acted like a punk after being pulled but this guy was out there high fiving players and fist bumping and encouraging his teammates. I think he lacks confidence and it shows in his performance on the field, especially as he gives up catches and it starts to snowball on him but at least he manned up and handled it in the right way. Didn't see any negativity from him at all so kudos for that.



Yes

Very good sign
MAN, the only way #23 is on the field next week as a starter is if this jersey gets worn by eMAN !!!

Pre Mayock raiders front office liked him? So the fk what? As if they were great talent evaluators at OL.. Smart GM's wouldn't have taken the stiff that high..
