I think successful is an understatement...

I think he would be unstoppable and he'd break a shit ton of receiving records and he would pretty much be the most valuable player the NFL had ever seen, maybe even including QB's...

That dude would just be an unfair advantage.

I just like to dream about it, considering he is my favorite athlete right now in sports and I don't even like basketball.

Watson is a great pick if you dig athletes who can't stay healthy, he never made it through college without getting hurt either.

And Maroney well I don't like taking marginal RB's that high.

See, and that's okay.

If Pioli had taken highly rated prospect last year only to watch them fail in their first season, there's no shame or nothing wrong with that.

But when he goes far outside the parameters of normal thinking and still comes up empty, that's when we've got a problem.

And that thinking led to a 4-12 record in 2009 and very little positive contribution by the rookies in a year where if better choices had been made, there could have been massive amounts of contribution.

and to be honest with everyone...I've started to become really 'blah' when it comes to Berry.

I'd rather have Okung to be honest...I mean that dude is going to be a pro bowler no matter how you want to spin it.

It's not a sexy pick and it's even less sexy when you think about the fact we'd come out of three drafts with three top 5 picks with Jackson/Dorsey/Okung and Matt Cassel as our QB but I don't think you can think about the past when you're drafting for the future...gotta clean slate it every year...

Which is why Clausen seems like a good pick to me but I don't see that happening.

I have absolutely no problem admitting I'm wrong but when it comes to the 2009 draft, I was right about the quality of our draft.

I'm fully prepared for the fact that Pioli will draft against the strengths of the draft board. I just hope that this year, he's right.

Well you certainly look right about 2009 right now...

But come on, it's still a little early.

Would I rather have anyone other than Tyson Jackson?

Of course.

But I don't want to talk about it anymore and we'll see how much he sucks or doesn't suck in a few years.

There's really no guarantee Okung is going to be a pro bowler.

The guy has insane measurables and really seems like he's a Pioli guy...

I guess I'd be happy with the following players at #5:

Clausen, Berry, Okung, Bryant (maybe)

Hootie 03-01-2010 05:21 PM

I would have loved adding Donte Stallworth to our team...we need some god damn receivers.

Mecca 03-01-2010 05:23 PM

Bruce Campbell made Okungs measurables look average.

Hootie 03-01-2010 05:23 PM

doubt it would happen since we already have a starter but think Thomas Jones would make a great 10 carry a game backup to Sir Charles...

was it Casserly on NFL Network that wasn't impressed with Campbell's workout? Or Mayock? Or both? I forget...

and then the Vikings guy was saying how they don't generally move up people for having beastly workouts, but they certainly move people down or figure out how to stack certain players...that makes sense...

and why is Campbell playing OL rather than DL? Doesn't make sense to me either...

Hootie 03-01-2010 05:28 PM

and what's up with Jevan Snead?

Wasn't he being touted as a top tier QB prospect before last season? I know he bombed big time...so did he panic and just decide to declare? What round grade is he? Is he a 3rd rounder?

Casserly... He's a dickhead anyway.

Mike Mayock essentially came off as a complete moron for every single thing shown.

While some BYU guy was running he went into this big religious rant.
