Brandon Graham - I'm Sold

Recommended Posts

Are you watching this kid dominate the best Seniors in the country? He could play either RE or LE. He plays the run almost as well as he rushes the passer (did you see that containment on the toss). I'm sold, he needs to be in a Panthers uniform next season.

do we have the ammunition.

Who knows? Maybe he will go into the draft and have average numbers (I know his size will always be in question to the Al Davis' of the NFL). He might just make it to us. I doubt it based on this performance but the combine has always made some guys rise and fall so who knows.

my thinking is if we trade peppers..then we would go after a bigger DE more LE type.

6'1" 263 might not sound like much but thats pretty thick for a 6'1 frame. He has great acceleration and pass rushing skills and plays the run very well. Sounds like a perfect fit for a Meeks undersized talented type of DE.

we could franchise pep, then trade him before the draft for a high draft pick in rd 1, then trade down a few spots for a 1st and 2nd or something then take graham in the 1st, a DT and WR in the 2nd.

I'd hate to lose pep but that scenario would have me running through the streets naked on draft day.

I would praise the genius that is Hurney if that happens. But don't count on it.

Perfect Scenario

Late 1st: Get Graham

1st 2nd: Brian Price/ Dan Williams

2nd 2nd: Jacoby Ford or Gilyard

That draft would be one of the best ever for us at least on paper.

Wouldn't mind seeing Lefevour in the 3rd-4th range as well.

We need a Wide Receiver more than anything. Draft one with the first pick we have, no matter where it is.

Pretty much. We've got two receivers and something like four projects on the team right now.

Fortunately, this is a GOOD draft to need WR help, really deep.

It is interesting that people want to trade probowlers for draft picks. Exactly how many sacks did Brown get last year? How many did any of the rookie defensive ends get? How good have we been developing wide receivers we drafted?

I am not saying there is a way to do it or not do it. Just that for whatever reason, we don't seem to get alot out of our drafted players at DE or WR. In fact the last 2 who made a big splash were Smitty and Peppers in 2001 and 2002. Since then...........not much.

    • Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.
    • 3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9
    • Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
