Okung is one of the best left tackles in the NFL. He absolutely destroyed people this past season and was the starting LT in the Pro Bowl for the NFC. If we picked Okung, it would have been early enough in Alberts career that moving him over to LG wouldn't have been such an issue and we would have been past the stage of picking a major question mark/potential RT backup like Fisher with the #1 overall pick in the draft. Curry...eh. The guy had everything you could possibly want in a future All-Pro linebacker...physically. I don't know what got into that guys head, but it wasn't conducive to football. And you're a moron if you are basing your assumption of a players performance on his draft status alone. Stephenson was a better tackle than Lane Johnson on the same team. Stephenson goes in the third round and Johnson was a top ten pick. Joeckel wasn't as good as Matthews on the same college team and I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that Matthews won't go #2 in the draft. |

Dumbest thing I've ever read here after what we've learned about the kid, especially the last few weeks.

I do think Stephenson is a good tackle. Enough to beat out Albert **** no.
Enough to beat out Fisher probably not. Its a good problem because for one we have good depth. |

and if Stephenson is SO good...
fine, put him at RT and then put Albert at LG we'd have an all pro caliber LG, LT and, according to our offensive line guru, a very talented RT. and a ton of depth looks like we have one part of our team all set |

i think you're a damn fine poster with solid football takes
I just find it hilarious you have pined for a LT for years and years and then when we finally take one you are pissed because you wanted the guy who went 39th overall to the most dysfunctional organization in football if Geno went 4th, or 7th, or 2nd or shit...even 10th I could see this but he went 39th and every team that needed a QB passed on him twice sorry that's telling |

Geno has all the tools you look for in a potential franchise QB. Why he and the rest of the QB's slipped this year, I don't know. Barkley went in the fourth round this year and last year he was, without question, the third QB off the board behind Luck and Griffin. Matt Scott, the pre-draft darling of the mocksters, didn't even get picked and ended up as a UDFA. Of the teams that "needed" QB's from an outsiders perspective, a lot of those made off-season moves like the Chiefs or decided to ride out their young QB's for another season (such as Jacksonville). Sometimes a guy slips for whatever reason. Geno and Matt Barkley did and I think teams are going to end up regretting not taking them when the opportunity was there. There are 23 teams in the league that passed over Aaron Rogers and to a team, all of them would give their eye-teeth to have him on their roster now. Alex Smith will be 29 in two days time. He's only completed two full seasons out of eight and is coming off a concussion injury this past season. He's a gutty, tough, smart QB, but one that isn't going to take the top off of a defense. And he's going to have to perform at a Pro Bowl level right off the bat if he's going to pay dividends for this team. I get the Fisher pick. Load up with the best you can to help Alex Smith out up front and to open those lanes for Charles. Calculated, matriculating of the ball up and down the field. Both sides of the ball are built for such a game, but it needs to work right now. In that regard, Fisher is probably a better pick than Geno for that concept. How it plays out in the long run remains to be seen. |

You can use Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson as examples...but there are hundreds of Clausens that I can use to paint the other picture. |

Pioli invested a lot of picks in to this line...and the fact we added a #1 pick to the mix, a crafty vet, and a TE who is known for his blocking...
there is absolutely no reason for this line not to be THE strength of this team. Alex Smith is walking on to a roster that, offensively, is built a lot like his 49ers team. I don't expect Aaron Rodgers numbers from Smith but I expect him to be, at the very least, as efficient as he was last year while he was starting. If that's what we get out of Alex Smith...I'm ok with it. Who knows? Maybe his recent success helped him develop a little confidence and swagger and we may end up with another Trent Green. |

well when every team that needs a QB passes on a guy two times...
I'm sorry he wasn't an elite prospect you don't draft a so/so prospect with tons of question marks #1 overall which is why he went #39 |

If Stephenson is as good as you guys think, drafting Fisher was even dumber.
