A place to bury strangers.

Sweet

Love Newton, and loved CJ Wallace when I watched him play.
Dunno the other guys, but if they're as good as the first two, must be good

I figured they would sign Newton

otherwise they would of drafted him. I am still curious though if we would of taken Allan had KC not taken him before us.

Funny thing is I wanted Newton for TE all along so this draft went pretty well in my eyes

V. 1.0, mutherf***er, know what I'm sayin'?

The guys I like are

of course Newton, Jensen (makes me think Zach Thoms), Mixon could be the steal of a lifetime, and Payne.

Could someone tell me something about Tafisi?

Tafisi is a true tweener

A little similar to Darryl Tapp IMO.

n/s

a bit off topic, but I just wanted to mention a few things on day 2 draft for the Hawks.

I know some might disagree, but I really REALLY like the Jordan Kent pick. This guy is a great athlete with excellent work ethic, I don't think he ever got a chance to be fully devoted to football at Oregon considering he was an outstanding track runner and played basketball.

He's got great size at 6'5 210 and as I mentioned is a tremendous athlete all around. Let's not forget that he never even played football until is junior year at Oregon (maybe Sophomore). He's an academic all-american, very smart and will be commited to learning the system. He'll be a project and is probably 2 years away from really contributing, I have a feeling that in 3 or 4 years we are all going to be Jordan Kent fans.

Also a quick comment on D-Jack. I am starting to warm up to the trade, I still don't like trading him to a division rival, but I don't think it was a terrible deal either. I expect D-jacks numbers to drop a bit in San Fran, he'll be playing opposite to Ashley Lelie and Arnez Battle as opposed to Deon Branch and DJ Hackett (and B-easy). The QB could be a factor for Jackson as well, im actually not real high on Alex Smith and unless he really breaks out this season, Hasselbeck > Smith. With that said Jackson is a very solid pick-up for the 49ers and if healthy he could really help take a lot of pressure off Frank Gore.

I like D-jack a lot, but I always felt that he was kind of a product of the system (I could be VERY wrong) so we will have to wait and see how he does. Sando made a great point about the trade, if seattle wins the division no one will question the d-jack deal and it will look like everything worked out fine, if SF wins the division and Jackson has a big year everyone will call for Ruskell's head.

Josh Brown is better than you.
