Not a fan of the Niner draft myself. They have drafted 2 classic underachievers, and one overrated prospect because his status was elevated because he was the one and only guard prospect who should even be draft in the first 3 or 4 rounds. It could work but I am not a fan.

On paper they appear better. Let's see how it plays out on the field. They both have egomaniacs for HC's. Let's not forget that we've also gotten better in the last 24 hrs.

Marginally better but as I told my 49er friend earlier today I think the niners screwed the pooch. They could have taken Clausen/McCoy and Dez Bryant. That would have been scary. Thank goodness they didn't.

I definitely hate what the Seahawks have done much more, in that I think they have 3 future PBers so far in this draft, but Singletary is a motivator, and I worry what he may be able to get out of these guys. Mays reminds me of a young A-Dub. Truly a shame he didn't come out last year, talk about losing money. I do however like Dan Williams more than any of their picks and cant wait to see him go at it with Iupati.

It would be naive to think that the 49ers & Seahawks have not gotten better.
Their first two rounds have added some very good players to both teams.

Seahawks maybe but the Niners I cant say that about at all. I hated all three of the first prospects before the draft even happened and before they were on the Niners so it isn't even a biased thing with me.

I like how he motivated them to a 3-6 record against teams that weren't picking 1-2 in the draft in the last 12 weeks of the season.

Seahawks have done a great job, but they also have a ton of holes, and aren't a threat this season IMO.

49ers could have all three of those guys never amount to above average players IMO.

Im not impressed with their draft

Good point. Motivator coaches tend to lose their appeal of what they say as the season wear on or as players stay longer in the system.

Out of all the NFC West teams I think by far the Cards are having the worst draft.

The Niners are right on our heals or maybe a tad better fellas, thats reality

Ive never bought into this line of thinking .. Coach Pants on the ground Pants on the ground looking like a fool with his pants on the ground just seems like a loose wire to me..

It's hard to get more talent than a team with the top pick in each round and two teams with multiple first round picks when all you have is a late pick in each round.

We *should* have the worst draft if the other teams in our division simply draft well. That doesn't make our draft bad.

Agreed. His act will wear thin sooner rather than later.

LOL I don't think I ever agree with what you say but its all good.

IMO it goes:

Seahawks
Cardinals
Rams
9ers

I'm with Joe. I think the two OL the 9ers got have high bust potential and I like Mays, but find it quite damning his college coach had the chance to pick him and instead went with Thomas. Ouch.
