That would be in your eyes, correct? Lynch seemed pretty happy with his priority FA's signed.

I think John did a decent job. CB, Center, Guard, Edge Rusher - re-signed LB's as Reuben insurance. Shoring up the O Line and Edge were the biggest holes and I think at least he put some spackling on them.

I think we come out of fa with a b. It would be higher but health issues for sherm and westonburg keep it down. I expect shanny to set up jet in his system to really produce. So he will earn his dough.

Why are we talking about this in the peters thread?

Post arraignment foster was charged with 3 felonies but a lot of people here are disputing that

Some people were just waiting I'm the weeds to start slamming this organization. Foster was a stop five talent last year. The new regime took a risk that burned them ever since the season ended. Hopefully a lesson was learned. Between the actual draft and the final week of the season, there was NO reason to question the decision. With that said, in the future I think they are passing on flagged players.

Do you think that everyone who is charged with a felony is guilty of a felony? Dude take a damn chill pill. Drink a beer. Kick your feet up and relax. Geezus.

No that would be wrong. They have to assess each player individually. They can't just back away from anyone with a parking ticket, or whatever the floor is. Think back to the Charles Haley days. Even my least favourite, Bill Romanowski.These guys are not choir boys but teams need them. You assess the risk and do what you can to mitigate it, then make the decision. Which is I imagine what they did with Foster. The mitigation being the relatively low pick for a top 5 player.

Time for Peters to do his thing in this draft to stack this roster up nicely for Shanahan to do his thing this year! Go 49ers!

Love that post English, that's exactly what you have to do, I think they might stay away this year though just to be safe, but if you play scared you'll lose.

There is a reason why Foster fell in the draft. One could argue 31 teams got it right and the 9ers got it wrong. There is a huge price to pay for when you burn a 1st round pick. I don't want to get into the choir boys debate, I will just say this, I am not a huge gambler per se, for me I would have been with the rest of the 31 teams in not picking Foster.

Oh and no more flagged players please as far as possible.
