I hope we do not go after any of the big FAs( I really dont think it is going to happen anyway). Players do not get in to the league with no talent. Every single player in the NFL has talent. It takes talent around them to turn the player into a star. Yeah, we have not had anyone to compliment 89 for a while, but who has been throwing the ball to them. Smitty is a freak of an athlete. Look at what he has done here with who he has had. Think of him with Brady throwing the ball around.

I think we have a QB that can create our own star without having to pay for an established star. Lets draft a WR with high potential and give him a shot.

So you honestly think those guys do not have talent? Do they have the talent mold to be an outstanding WR? Probably not, why were they drafted though? Probably not to be our main WR. Lets be real here.

Edit: "Real Here" Sorry guys, forgot where I was.

They have talent, that's why they are in the NFL.

But are they star wide outs??? Um hell no.

There are only two receivers on the roster that have proved anything... Smitty and LaFell.

I agree, you cant draft project players to become role players and have a high chance for success. Lets draft/Sign some typical WR prospects and see what happens.

Me too. People tend to forget our QB has passed for almost 8000 yards over his 2 years here. Is WR really our biggest need??

For the future it's certainly right up there at the top of the needs.

Latest mock draft on ESPN has Patterson going to Miami at 12 and us taking Austin at 14. Hopefully Miami picks up Wallace and we get Patterson.

TAVON AUSTIN - CAROLINA

Pick analysis: Austin can't be used in the same manner as Steve Smith, but he can add another element of explosiveness to a passing attack that could use a player with his exact skills. Smith turns 34 two weeks after the draft, and Cam Newton could use an underneath target with the capability to do some damage after the catch.

Free-agency factor: The Panthers lack the flexibility to add splash in the passing game via free agency, so I don't see the process doing anything to diminish the value Austin could add.

CORDARRELLE PATTERSON - MIAMI

Pick analysis: He needs work as a route-runner, but Patterson is a potential difference-maker in the passing game. He can go up and get it, take the top off defenses and keep safeties deep because of his speed, and he's a big, physical, shifty runner with the ball in his hands.

Free-agency factor: If the Dolphins make a splash move and add a player such as Mike Wallace or Greg Jennings, they could go in another direction at this spot. They certainly could be thinking tackle if Jake Long moves on.

      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.
