SF will draft a RB early...IMHO (1 Viewer)

[jurb26]

At this point there are no RBs good enough to replace Gore/Barlow left. I say Helix wins the bet.

 

[Football Jones]

It amazes me that people fail to believe their eyes. At some point, you have to trust what you see. At least I think Gore's explosiveness & vision are easy to see.

Forget the knees. I'm more worried about his shoulders. I'm guessing he'll overcome that like he did the knee injuries, though. He's a tough son-of-a-gun, & if he does stay healthy, this cat will be a HUGE surprise.

 

[Jason Wood]

Nolan was quoted this week stating that he is not interested in another RB.  I don't think he is lying.  This team has so many holes anything is possible, but I would wager that they don't select a RB with the first 4 picks.

1) If Nolan is really a talented NFL mind, he wouldn't summarily rule out any position given his team's record and that it's only January2) Don't believe one iota of information that comes out of the mouths of NFL coaches, scouts and GMs publicly between now and April

I just disagree with you. Simple as that. I infer from Nolan's statement that he will not take a RB early (within the 1st 4 rounds). Obviously you don't think so. We will see.

Hey helix,How's this...I will bet you a subscription to Footballguys next year that SF drafts a RB within the first 4 rounds. If they don't you get a comped subscription on me. If they DO, you carry a sig link throughout the preseason which says, "Wood was right..."

Deal?

You getting nervous?

I've got another round...but a bet is a bet. By the way, I should've never made this bet because I forgot to factor one very important consideration into the equation. The 49ers are now one of the worst run organizations in the league and are prone to making horrendous decisions left and right.

 

[The Mechanic]

Have faith Jason.....I still own K. Barlow in my dynasty league that SOME web site was HIGH on two years ago..

Seriously;

S.F. should take J. Harrison...but then again they would need a R.B. Scout who knew what to look for..?

Admire your in-season work, but you've been off by a country mile on all your Niner commentary this offseason, Jason.

THE 49ERS JUST TOOK A "RB" IN THE 4TH...

of course michael robinson played QB at penn state, but he was read off as a RB

we may have a tie on this wager

According to ESPN NFL Draft guide Robinson is listed as the # 18 running back not a QB

Leave it to the 9'ers to even mess up this wager. Robinson was a QB in college, listed as a WR on NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/draft/drafttracker/round/round4) and announced as a RB on air. Mr. Woods, this is too complicated for me to argue. You make the call.

he's randel el like from what I've readhttp://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...opic=237980&hl=

The running seems to be reverses or from the QB spot so I think Jason is safe here.

All my Niner commentary? Other than this Gore discussion, the only 49er discussions I can recall were involving Antonio Bryant (I think that could be a great pickup for them) and Vernon Davis (I said he was going to be their pick shortly after the Combine). Care to clarify your comments a bit?

I would have fallen out of my chair if Nolan made this pick. Wow. I hope this is not even close to being accurate.

49ers | Team considered drafting L. White

Sun, 30 Apr 2006 08:28:18 -0700

Dennis Georgatos, of the San Jose Mercury News, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said the team gave some consideration to drafting RB LenDale White with the 22nd pick in the NFL Draft.

Or you could just realize that Frank Gore is the real deal.

Congrats to Helix...I'll PM you with instructions on how to redeem your subscription.

Robinson is a RB so JW wins... right?

I believe they drafted Robinson as a WR, but either way that's not how I intended to "win" the bet, so I've contacted helix to set him up for a subscription.
