Cunningham is just too skinny for my taste in ILB. He will get manhandled IMHO. If they pick him up they better beef him up a bit. Just saying.:shrug:

The Eagles tattled on us and ****ed us out of a 3rd rd pick last year. I don't think Andy wants anything to do with that owner and GM.

I still maintain that 14 is the sweet spot. I really think it makes sense. Deep draft in Ballard's first year of a disaster that was handed to him and we have a mostly built roster in need of a QB.
I think Ballard could cut us a fair deal (27, 3rd, 2018 2nd).

It's all dependent on Arizona. I would think Dorsey has a deal in place with ballard so the moment Arizona passes on him we strike.

Not doubting Cunningham's skills at all he is just too skinny for my taste at ILB and agree that Davis would be a better pick at ILB if our prized players are already taken. The reason for Cunningham's arm tackling is he knows he is too skinny and doesn't have the beef to consistently throw his body into a tackle and relies on his speed and coverage to afford arm tackling IMHO but that won't cut it at the NFL level.

Yeah, I forgot about that tattling on us. But you never know. And it makes more sense that we can help Ballard as he can help us as well. And I agree that AZ is the wildcard at this point. Great realistic perspective Run !!:clap:

Sold

and there is a very good chance we strike with not only those other teams that want Mahomes assuming he is still there but if not we very likely would be striking with Denver for McCaffrey and I think Ballard would do us a deal but then again this is a business.

**** WHITE RUNNING BACKS AMEN

I have said Mahomes to KC for awhile. They love him and I've heard the rumblings as well.

When people say, "McCaffrey is a fit for our offense," they're ignoring the fact that we'd be continuing to feed Alex more short yardage binkies for him to suck on while we need first downs in playoff games.

I don't want to give Alex any more ****ing weapons until he properly uses the ones he's got right the **** in front of him.

What I say to the idea of giving Alex a short yardage YAC target like McCaffrey:

If he's Charles like then Mahomes is Steve Young like so a better value.

That makes no sense.. more weapons the merrier

If you give Alex Smith a Donnie Avery, Dwayne Bowe, bad OL, Jamaal Charles offense, he'll give you 3500 yards, ~20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

If you give Alex Smith a Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce, and some OL, he'll give you 3500 yards, ~20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

If you give Alex Smith a dynamic playmaking deep threat like Tyreek Hill and some better WRs plus an elite RT in free agency, he'll give you 3500 yards, FEWER than 20 TDs, and single digit INTs.

Those resources you use to get him weapons could be used to get some more dynamic passrushers, a 2nd shutdown CB, a replacement for DJ at ILB

I used to grow up in Vikings country. They used to have a short yardage guy named Leroy Hoard. The fans used to say this about him: "If you need 1 yard, Leroy Hoard will give you 2 yards. If you need 3 yards, Leroy Hoard will give you 2 yards."

That's who Alex is. No matter what.

Gonn have to trade up ahead of the Texans for Mahomes.

Good, we have 10 picks and about 5 needs so do it.


Also I would much rather draft a QB and him fail this year than watch us pass on the chance and see him succeed just like Carr, Rodgers and Wilson.
