  • We will be good with a solid defense and running game. We just need WR's the don't drop the ball half the time.

  • it's not like we haven't won w/o gordon before.

    (yeah, i'm waiting to get bashed on that one).

  • We won tons last year with him. 🙂

  • I can't beleive Mike Davis is still on the board.

  • Just saw this :

    Dawg Pound Nation ‏@DawgPoundNews 16m Hearing the #Browns have inquired about WR's Michael Crabtree and Roddy White and trade availability.

    Goes to show there's more than one way to fill a need.

    I like both of these for different reasons.

  • Depends on what the pick would be, or player. Who could be trade, what pick are they worth. I think Crabtree could be had for a value since there seems to be little chance of him resigning with the 49ers next season, but I wouldn't do the trade unless he agreed to signing a deal right off the bat. Roddy White is old but a solid WR still. Considering his age I wouldn't give up a lot.

    Having said all this, I think it is a bunch of noise at this point. I don't think the Browns are taking a lot of time to field trade calls for players with the draft still on and them trying to target UDFA players.

  • Dunno HB... we project to have an excess at a couple D positions. Might include an expendable that SF or ATL covets.

    Even if we only rent Crabtree for a year we have that extra #1 next, if JG does not return.

    A few calls now... more tonite/ tomorrow... strike the balance between inquisitive and desperate.

  • So is somebody under the impression that there is an all-pro wide receiver in round six seven or undrafted? Really?

    I think they've known about this for a while and are happy Enough with Hawkins and Cooper.

  • With some of SF's issues on the DL(notably Smith), they may be willing to deal Crabtree. Just one of a number of possibilities, including players we may already have who were either not utilized or not utilized correctly. I am just so impressed that we didn't panic & throw OUR draft into turmoil because of the Gordon ordeal.

    All this stuff just makes me more confident in Farmer & Pettine. We'll see what happens. I have always enjoyed seeing what happens with UDFA, my favorite part of the player acquisition "season".

    I haven't looked lately, but aren't the 49er's a bit tight on Cap $ ?

    I'm thinking that's one of the reasons we landed Whitner, plus they're still dealing with Kapernick.

    Yes which is why I think they would deal Crabtree for cheap. They could get a pick for him before they let him walk, plus they might want to get rid of him to make some cap space room this year. They need to sign their draft picks and UDFA but the Stevie Johnson trade takes up most of what remains of their space. We likely wouldn't be able to trade a player to them unless they cut some people loose.

    For referance from what it is saying on ninersnation.com (the dawgsbynature.com of the 49ers) they are saying the 49ers have around 3.9 million in space, but Johnson is owed 3.6 million this yearin base and just under 300K in workout bonuses, so he takes ALL of their Space.

    It doesn't help that they are still paying for AJ. Jenkins 1.5 million bonus.

  • all the Weeden and Richardson jerseys left on the shelves!!!!

  • Watch our 7th rounder be our best pick in a couple of years. LOL

  • @walterwhite said:

    What would we have to give up for Crabtree?

    Million dollar question. Only 1 year left on his rookie deal, some injury history. I wouldn't give more than a mid round pick.

  • Sheard is still on his rookie deal which would be doable for the 49ers.. Not a suggestion, just an example of what COULD be an option..

    I like Coleman for his height advantage. If we brought him and Janis in I'd be happy.

    Janis got grabbed by the Packers, but they also grabbed 3 WR, so at least two are likely to be cut at some point.

  • Dion Bailey, S (spelling?) and Christian Jones. Both projected as a mid round pick.
