First Round Press Conference

[Mr. Scot]

Gettleman is comfortable with his "ticker".

[Mr. Scot]

Makes you wonder if that's because one of them is still available...

Person says it was Tyler Eifert and Xavier Rhodes, but Gettleman didn't say so I don't know where he's getting that.

[TheJason]

Actually, I guess if it is those players, might show what positions we are looking at instead.

[Mr. Scot]

One other thing worth mentioning...

People anxious for the departure of Sione Fua might be disappointed. Both Rivera and Gettleman had positive things to say about him in the course of this presser.

The one good thing about Fua is that at least he has starting experience. Gettlemean strikes me as a no BS guy and when he says Colin Cole is a legitimate DT I believe him. I am completely sold on our defensive line. Though I wonder if we have the right kind of back up for Dwan at UT. Star, Kearse, and Fua are all NT's if I'm not mistaken.

My uncle talks the same way Gettle does. I like the guy. In Gettle I trust.

[Mother Grabber]

it's a little premature to say we will take X player or Y position in the 2nd with so many picks ahead of us. If there's a run on DBs for the first 11 picks, we're not going to take one. Any starting quality DB, OL or WR would make for a great first two picks.

Both Lotulelei and Fua are of Tongan descent.

It's a good thing that Staw's ha'at checked out.... love the Gettie accent

[Mr. Scot]

Every time Rivera says "space eater" I hear "space heater" :lol:

[CarolinaCoolin]

I got the same feeling about drafting a guard last year after our first round presser.

The pick is going to be a DB.

You literally know nothing. Who cares that you had a feeling we would go guard last season. There's only like 22 different positions they can go and subtract that number but the positions we don't need filled. We could easily go wr or te today. Shut up geez

[TheRed]

Gettleman didn't want to trade? No way! Well that's going to upset some huddlers around here.

I don't understand why people keep asking about / suggesting it.

While I'll grant that anything's possible, Gettleman has made his disdain for the process pretty clear.

[thefuzz]

I'm with Scrum....so glad that we have a GM that is a "football guy".

I always wanted to scream when I heard Hurney talk about players, skill sets, schemes, etc.
