They are.....


Just not Alex Smith open.

Whatever Gaines brings to the table is outweighed by the rest of the class.

Ford sucks by the fact he can't unseat Hali.. and Hali should have retired a year ago. And yeah Thomas was a 4th rounder but in what world did it make sense to take a 5'9 kick returner when the team had holes at #2 WR and just about every OL spot outside of center?

You're looking at 7 picks normally, if you hit 3 of those it's a solid draft. I think your over valuing expectations here.

They should have let Hali walk or retire, I agree therr. But I'm not ready to walk from ford yet because I think it's just not enough info.

They've also hit on alot of UDFA in this year's so its not quite as bleak as its being made out to be.

Just as with every other regime we've seen, they made the wrong decision with the qb and the trickle down effect is likely to get them fired, which is ironic because I'm guessing that was their fear, causing them to go conservative

If you're building around Alex Smith, you need an elite defense and an elite running game. Then you need excellent tight ends. After you've but all that and you've paid your QB 20 m, exactly how much do you have left to now need an elite ol? And for what? Is adding an extra second of time going to help Alex go vertical? Is he goong to use his pocket better? Make progressions? No. It will buy him more time to stare down his number 1 receiver and then go to his check down. You think an ol is going to help Alex Smith go through progressions?

Oh, and according to you, we also need elite receivers too. Maybe if we surround Alex Smith with the ray Lewis Ravens defense and the 2003 Colts offensive supporting cast, then maybe Alex Smith can win playoff games.

I'd also rather we keep drafting more WRs until we actually hit on some guys.

Conley was a good pick, and I think he can still be a good WR in the league (a WR3 at the very least... not in the slot, though). Wilson still has value.

But if we're in the position to draft a WR who will come in and bump each of those guys down one notch on the depth chart, why wouldn't we?

It's even more imperative that we get our QB at the same time, though. Alex hasn't "developed" one ****ing WR in his entire goddamn career. The closest he's come is Brandon Lloyd, and that's only because Lloyd was a rookie under Alex. He busted out and played well elsewhere.

Where did i say anything about elite receivers?


I said quality players

Why are the current wrs not quality players laz? I'm not trying to argue I'm just curious as to where that's coming from?

Didn't they just sign a top FA WR and draft a WR also? The wr position is not that bad.

It's almost like no one realized this was the only way to win a SB with Smith.

Agreed

Any disputes?

Yes, we got Maclin ... a great addition.

Right now Maclin is the only NFL starter level WR we have.

Maclin - yes
Conley - isn't ready yet
Wilson - can't stay healthy
Dat - not even as good as McCluster
Frankie Hammond - no
Brian Parker - Who?

So where is this NFL level receiver corp? It's not on our roster.

We don't even have 2 starters yet.

They are the most embarrassing piece of shit to be sure.

And stupidest.

I am thinking the second
a good coach can fix guys that can play

takes a great coach to fix guys that can't play

we got neither right now

rather have Gunther just because he yells at the crowd, like coaches the will yell what the ****
and flip people off, sorry George
but Jebus give me a coach that cares about winning
