Intanto Freeman in visita.

Mi è sempre sembrato strano il poco interesse che sembra esserci per Raji da parte dei niners.... E' vero che abbiamo forse need più urgenti e Franklin ha fatto un'ottima stagione l'anno scorso, ma ad occio B.J. sembra più forte e comunque Franklin è all'ultimo anno di contratto. Che si stia solo cercando di farlo passare sottovoce per poi sceglierlo?

Da quello che ho letto è sicuramente un ottimo giocatore però è molto improbabile che scenda oltre la quinta-sesta chiamata.

Il mio post n° 1500 per una notizia molto importante:

[multiple]

Maiocco continua l'analisi dei prospetti interessanti al draft per i niners con l'aiuto di Rob Rang.
Come OLB Rang alla 10 considera i migliori 3 (Maybin, Orakpo e Everette Brown) un reach

"I don't like Maybin. He scares the hell out of me. He's got some burst to him. The kid gained 30 pounds between the end of the bowl game and the combine. When I look at him, he looks like a physically young kid that has a lot of growing. He had just one big year and came out.

"Orakpo is almost like a finished product already. He's so bulked up . . . I don't know what he can do to become much better. He's not really explosive off the snap as a defensive end. And in linebacker drills I've heard he was OK, but not great. If you liked him before, you still like him. He's big, strong guy. When he closes, he closes with a thump. You have to use him strictly as a pass-rusher. If you drop him into coverage, he's going to get beat because he's just not quick enough.

"Everette Brown is the one I'm the highest on. When I watch Everette Brown, he's the most explosive off the snap and he uses his hands better than anybody else in the draft. He's quicker. He slaps hands away and uses swim moves and rip moves and the whole thing. For being a kid as young as he is, he's pretty refined that way. But he's also a little under 6-2, and that's significant as well. When I watch him I think he has the most talent of the bunch, but there's no denying he's short."

Meglio per i niners cercare qualcuno ai giri successivi, dato che sembra esserci profondita' nel ruolo.

Q: What about from the second round on, who might the 49ers consider?

Rang: "This is one of the strengths of this draft. There are a lot of guys there. That's why I don't think a team like the 49ers have to reach in that top 10 for a guy. There are a lot of guys there for them. Cody Brown of Connecticut is getting a lot of attention in the third or maybe fourth round. If you want to go up a round, probably Clint Sintim of Virginia. He played on one of the very few teams that run a 3-4 defense in college. He was coached by Al Groh, so he's going to come in and be more pro-ready than a lot of guys. So he makes some sense. Zack Follett from Cal makes sense, probably in that fourth, maybe fifth. He's a good football player. He comes off the edge hard and his very physical."

Q: But is Follett is pass-rusher?

Rang: "He's not bad. He's not as big as some of the other guys. I think you can get him at a point where the value is good enough in the fourth or fifth round. He is pretty good off the edge. He's not an elite athlete like some of the other guys, but he knows how to use his hands and he can adjust in space a little bit. He's going to be more of a guy who can come in and compete early on and max out and you're not going to get a lot out of him long term. Whereas if you have a guy like Cody Brown, he's more of a defensive end. He's a better athlete. Two years down the road, he'll pass Follett. But the first two years, Follett will probably be a better player."

Q: Which other guys do you like?

Rang: "Larry English from Northern Illinois. Now, he'd be second round. He's not going to get all the way to the third. If somehow Clay Matthews is still available, he would make some sense. I think he'll go late first. But he could slide to that point (No. 43 overall). . . . Maybe Lawrence Sidbury from Richmond. There's a lot of these kinds of guys that people, as far as the 'tweener types, including Paul Kruger from Utah."

Magari arrivasse....
Ma penso sia difficile che Raiders (ma con Al Davis non si può mai dire...  ) e Jaguars possano lasciarlo passare; personalmente, se fosse ancora libero alla 7, un pensierino a fare trade up lo farei.

[Angyair]

Come dice kings nel pezzo: difficile ma non impossibile. Primo perché Crabtree ha perso un pò d'appeal con l'infortunio al piede, secondo perché i Raiders sembrano innamorati di Maclin e della sua velocità, terzo perché molti vedono andare i Jaguars su un QB se gli arrivasse uno tra Stafford e Sanchez. Sicuramente è difficile, ma sperare non costa nulla...

I Jaguars sembrano vogliano a tutti i costi fare trade down; il pericolo è che qualcuno possa salire proprio per prendere Crabtree se fosse ancora disponibile alla #8. 

The Jaguars are "desperately" trying to trade out of the top-ten picks in the NFL Draft, according to Profootballtalk.com.
This seems to indicate that Jacksonville isn't hoping for Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford to fall to No. 8. PFT says KC, Cleveland, and Detroit are also trying to get out of the top five. The Jags probably have the best chance to execute because at No. 8 overall the contract obligations aren't as hefty. Apr. 13 - 4:53 pm et

ahia...
Alex Smith "didn't look sharp" and his passes "wobbled" in the 49ers' pre-draft minicamp, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Another report claimed Smith showed good velocity, which is most important as he recovers from multiple throwing-arm surgeries. Still, it's possible that the operations have cost Smith some accuracy. He already lacked great arm strength and any loss of precision would be very concerning.

Strano, perché i report di quanto si è tenuto il minicamp, 2 settimane fà se non erro, erano diversi, anche perché poi non aveva neanche lavorato al massimo perché ancora non deve forzare.
Ma chissà.....magari in queste 2 settimane qualcuno a rielaborato il proprio giudizio alla luce delle congiunzioni astrali della moglie durante il ciclo mestruale.

Per fortuna è arrivata la smentita:

Niners shoot down Quinn rumor

The 49ers say they are not the "mystery team" offering a first-round draft pick for Brady Quinn. The 49ers have the No. 10 in this year's draft. Quinn, the 22nd pick of the 2007 draft, has been the subject of trade rumors because the Browns have A.) a new coach and B.) another starting-caliber quarterback in Derek Anderson. Quinn and the 49ers were linked today in ESPN's "rumor" section.

Messo anche qui.
Primissima impressione: inizio non difficilissimo (da sfruttare al massimo le cinque partite prima del bye, soprattutto le tre casalinghe), fase centrale abbastanza dura, possibile momento clou nel MNF contro Arizona alla week 14, ultime due partite sulla carta alla portata.
