I really expected him to go to a 3-4 team. He's definitely intriguing. I just hope we can figure out how to properly utilize him. At least Rivera has experience in both the 4-3 and the 3-4, though we haven't exactly seen this hybrid defense with elements of both schemes that he talked about upon his hiring. It seems we always get promised one thing, then fed the same old thing. Remember when drafting Shaq was going to allow us to play a little more base D? Yeah...

gotta admit, when we drafted him I couldn't understand what we were thinking.  

Now I understand.

Same.  Was a questionable draft pick in my mind, but the idea of him speed rushing right on by an OT, pushing the QB to step up into Poe/KK? Yes please.

Haynes being undersized has everything to do with his weight not his height.  He's 6'3''.

Yeah

Haynes is 6'3, but he did say post draft he was aiming to come into camp at 240-245

For comparison 

Vic Beasley is 6'3 245

      If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed.

      There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.

      Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
