Direction I'd like to see this team go...

With a new GM on the horizon...

I'd love to see us trade down to a team willing to give up picks for a QB...and with those picks I'd love to see us draft a CB with our first pick...FS with our second...and SS with our third (hopefully we find a way back into the 3rd round)....so yes 3 picks...3 DBs......I want to go Seattle style with our secondary.

And after we make some cuts, restructuring(...lol) we bring in some proven, quality OLine help.

I honesty would hold off on DLine for now. With Alexander playing well and the addition of Dwan, I think that buys us some time to wait on DLine help

Upgrade the secondary in a major way...find some OLine help...move forward with a new staff...

i like this plan a lot.

i would try and get some more DT help in FA...but focusing on the secondary like that is something i like.

although i would probably try and get an experienced SS instead of drafting one. thats just a an awful lot of inexperience in the secondary going that route.

Yeah sure... It's a great plan if you don't want to draft someone to help protect your franchise QB or a WR to help spread the field. Other than that, it's a great plan! *sarcasm off*

While I'd love to have a secondary like that in Seattle, it may be more prudent to go for a bit more balance. Add a playmaker somewhere in the secondary (either at corner or either safety position), and use another high pick on a wide out, should a good one be available at our spot. We're going to need a RG, but that doesn't need to be a high pick.

Unless Gettis really shows us something late this year, I'm just not comfortable with our WR situation going forward. We desperately need a good red zone target.

I just feel one of the biggest problems with this team is the lack of athleticism on defense. We lack speed rushers and speed and physicality in the secondary.

I think our front 7 can be decent as of now. I'd like to see some big time changes in the secondary. Tall, fast guys who are mean.

And I think our offense will balance out as we shift back to a more pro style offense...

So given the style of play in the NFL...a good secondary is a must

Dwan Edwards is 31, Ron is 33. If they keep their level of play up, that's great but it who's coming after them?

Might be a passing league but the game is won in the trenches. Getting a young DT with the rookie pay scale would be a steal for years.

If they trade out the range for a dominant DT prospect, I'd rather have a FS or WR. I don't know if there are any great safety prospects. Unless the safety has Sean Taylor or Eric Berry-like ability, I'm not as interested in the top ten. I'd go BPA between DT and WR in the top ten.

I'd like to know who our GM will be, who he'll hire as HC and then who they bring in to round out the staff.

Then, I need to see who we're going to cut or trade.

Then, we'll know what needs we have and picks we can address then with.

Originally I would have agreed with you, but right now none of us has a clue as to what's next, not no mention what will happen 6 months from now.

Well in the mean time we can discuss these issues...

I agree it will be interesting to see who our GM will be. Rivera has to go, but what if by some crazy happening he stays?

This team is so jacked up it will take some real work just to get us back to average, much less winning.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      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

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      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.
