I'm Back
Hey team! Thank you for the kind words and for reading and commenting. Just needed a day to catch my breath. I'll start back with regular posts later today.
*********************************************************************************
How do you think the 49'ers did in the draft? Were you surprised by the moves? My head tells me they probably played it smart. They are in a place where they need quality more than quantity and you should alway take the best players you can get regardless of position, but the fanboy in me was disappointed they passed on one of the "big 3" receivers. Also, it seems to me CB and OT are bigger needs than DT.
********************************************************************************
Appreciate the suggestion of post about Giants future. Here's my rough posting plan for next month or two: 1. Finish Hot Stove Series. 2. Do a few more historic posts(those are a lot of work and part of reason I needed a break). 3. Will do a few more draft profiles of individual players then try some rankings or mock drafts and short lists of potential picks for 5 top picks in first 3 rounds. BTW, does anyone else think it's possible the reason why Farhan did not trade MadBum and Smith at the deadline is he knew this is a deep draft and thought he could get more value for the compensation picks than in trades? 4. After Hot Stove series is completed I will address State of Giants and try to do a series of State of for every team in MLB. 5. Will do more COVID updates as I deem appropriate. May get more opinionated on that. May not get to all of these but I think we have a ways to go before any Game Wraps or Down on the Farm posts are possible.

Hope everybody is still well. Stay safe!

Niners had a fantastic day yesterday. Smart draft. Enjoy your blog a lot!
ReplyDeleteAgree Niners had a good draft, knew what they wanted, and went for it. Like how they're building their defense starting with the Dline. Hope Aiyuk pans out because they traded 2 extra picks to get him.
ReplyDeleteDoc that might have factored into the decision to keep Madbum and Smith. My thought was what factored in also was Zaidi promised Bochy a competitive team last year.
Really liked the 49er draft. Agree that OT and CB are two spots that will need attention sooner than later. Aiyuk looks pretty exciting and Kinlaw could be a difference maker in the middle of the D-line.
ReplyDeleteOn baseball and the Giants, just for kicks it might be fun to talk about some of the short timers the Giants have had over the years. I don't know how unique the Giants are in this area, but we have been able to see some really good players and classy guys pass through SF for short stays. Guys like Andres Galarraga, Ellis Burks, Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton and Tim Hudson. It would be interesting to hear from the followers of the blog who made a big impression. Anyway, just and idea. Thanks for all you do.
some great names there....Big cat was awesome. Ellis Burks was an amazing Giant during his short stay
DeleteDefinitely a A grade for the Niner picks and trades. They got Trent Williams from the Skins, Aiyuk fits the Niners offense. (Tho, I liked Rugg III). Lost Breida, but that's ok Mostert is going to get most of the carries. Goodwin gone.
ReplyDeleteNiners got this free agent draft Demarkus Acy, he was a shut down corner, didn't get in the combine, but all those experts were saying, no one really threw to his side and he got banged up for a bit. Worth keeping an eye out for.
