See? You live and you learn, my friend. If I’ve prevented one guy from bringing his clueless girlfriend to the game, then I’ve done my job.
yes, Manning should no doubt go before Addai. That was clearly an oversight on my part, but since you are the competition…I’ve gotta throw you off somehow.
Frank Gore as the #4 draft pick? Inconceivable. I don’t care who says it, that is absolute madness and I will have no part of it. Now I admit I didn’t watch many Niners games last year, but doesn’t anybody remember Jamal Lewis? The journey from a 2,000-yard season to a 500-yard season begins with a single step.
Never forget that Yahoo and many so-called experts wanted you to take Edgerrin James at #9 last season despite the fact that he went from a team with a veteran offensive line to a team with an apology for one. Yes, Gore had a great year last year, but everybody was quite reasonably looking past the 49ers in ‘06, and they still finished 7-9.
I’m not even looking at Gore until late second, early third round. Alexander, Westbrook (don’t forget those receiving TDs!) and even Cedric Benson would appear on my RBs list before Gore — if for no other reason than C.B. gets to pound on the Packers, Vikes, and Lions for six games this season as the first option for Da Bears, whereas Gore has to deal with Seattle and the Rams. How many big leads do you see SF carrying into the second half in those contests?
