This team's success will rely heavily on defense and the RB. Our defense will be a lot more solid last year and we have a top 3 RB. 31st is not appropriate

Tolbert and Banyard looked good as well. I bet it had more to do with Oline depth.

Whaley got a lot of talent but also got undisciplined players that couldn't stay healthy. You got to believe Dareus would have been cut or traded if they never put that huge contract together.

It is best to have a backup man multiple positions and he is better suited for all interior. If someone gets injured you don't have to move everyone around to make it work. Chances are if he took more snaps though he would be hated just as much as everyone else.

I'm guessing that while former players know a little of what is going inside those four walls at OBD there are probably details they aren't aware of. Plus whenever there is turnover like this it will require adjusting personalities and expectations on the fly.

Not saying he is elite but it's the preseason and you haven't seen the offense click yet. Hoping it is only because they are holding back in a major way

The problem is not the scheme but the Line coach teaching presnap position, anchoring and winning battles. We had a top three Oline coach under contract that we let walk out the front door. Kromer coaching those guys would have guaranteed a playoff spot with our defense

Its funny, literally no one would want Kaepernick here if he didn't sit for the national anthem. He was good under Harbaugh for two year but hasn't been even half good for years. I would look at Shaun Hill and Josh Freeman or even see if Logan Thomas can take some snaps the last week of preseason if Taylor and Yates aren't long term concussion protocol candidates.

I get the statement but I think it's obvious we know Goff has talent but Watkins should wait till he sees him in a legit game. Goff was horrible game time...

Much respect for McCoy because what he says it 100% true, no one wants that distraction. The subject matter is completely important but Kaepernick could have gone about things in a more constructive manner. We as a country need to figure out how to not be so divisive. What Kaepernick did was to bring attention to himself and nothing more and that is what he got. At that point in his career he already reached his peak and was looking for a way to be relevant.

This offense is reliant on crisp route running, something Johnson never could master. Although Taylor is pretty good with improvisation

18 Andre Holmes 11 Zay Jones 87 Jordan Matthews 89 Brandon Reilly 16 Daikiel Shorts 15 Brandon Tate

Neither can pass at an elite level but at least Taylor is special when it comes to keeping the play alive. I bet we aren't seeing the real Tyrod until the regular season so just be patient.

Actually it would hawkulee if you were going the sound it out route, which brings me to how hard is it to look the guy's name up before you type?

Kromer is one of the top 3 Oline coaches in the league so Castillo no matter how you look at it is a downgrade. That being said Glenn makes Taylor more confortable than whoever the backup is.

I think it's about this year. People were traded that weren't buying in and that is the way it should be. Stars are needed but they need to be going in the same direction. Shady seems like a guy that will go out and fight for the team.

Loved this guy when he played here last year but it was a numbers game going from a 34 to 43 and Kyle and Dareus weren't going to go anywhere, they just drafted Washington last year and Worthy I think is pretty much locked into a spot.

I think some can be good on this list but we have a good QB. We need a franchise QB though. Luck, Stafford and mostly Newton fit into that category, you either have it or you don't. Carson will last maybe 3 more years before they want a new one and Goff might have delayed his end by Watkins getting traded for otherwise I think this would have been his last.

Watkins has been injured so much and Darby by what Peter King said didn't buy in so maybe that is starting to sink in with a different team.

This is a very good point and needs to be highlighted. We will not become a better team with tanking. The only way we get a franchise QB is if our scouting department finds one. You can draft Peyton Manning, Alex Smith or Jamarcus Russell 1st overall. The "best" qb in the class doesn't mean you have your qb.

Cleveland has stockpiled picks for the past three years. The important thing is what can we do with the assets.

The only reason people are talking about a tank is because of Watkins. Watkins was in the last year of his contract and hasn't shown he can stay healthy, they just eliminated a tough decision and Sammy might not stay anyways. If all we got was a 2nd for that it would have been better than losing Sammy for nothing. Not sure much about Gaines but we will see what happens with him too.

Pretty sure he is just a backup and wasn't here for the long haul. From the looks of last night RB is not the problem especially with Shady still here.

Gee I hope we don't draft him. I get the feeling he won't even be first round material. He has a long delivery and doesn't look like he surveys the field too well.

There is a bit of symmetry for Bruce since he was a DE drafted first overall. I am pretty sure that is his connection. I have no problem with it.
