Don't you just love people who criticize without other contribution.

I don't care that you don't like the pick Smokey, that's your prerogative, but who do you think we should have taken. At least let us know why you feel the way you do otherwise I can't help but thinking you are this guy

As far as the pick goes, I was wanting an offensive lineman with one of our top 3 picks and was hoping we could grab one of the OTs that fell out of the first round but I like what I'm reading about this guy. Gives depth at OG and C this year (assuming that him and Turner don't push both Taylor and McCray to the bench) and options on the o-line in the future. Keeping Rodgers upright and giving him clean pockets to work with should be a priority (and according to Lafleurs offensive philosophy, it will be)

I do agree somewhat with those complaining about drafting guys and asking them to change positions. Hopefully Gary is athletic enough to make the switch if that's what they want. I do like the idea of a bunch of play anywhere guys to let Pettine shake things up a bit but I do hope they don't get too carried away. It's great to have versatility but its also nice to have a couple of guys who are simply studs at what they do.

There have been a few kids who did their military tour after graduating from one of the service academies. A few who did missionary tours (Mormon most common)

Some kids are late bloomers. He may not last much more than 4 years. Barring injury a lineman might get 6-7 years in.

Nice video analysis of Jenkins if you want to know what he's about.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (23h) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
