Steitzenhaus Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Not a need... we have a backup QB, and future backup QB's aren't hard to find. For Eli's eventual replacement, that's 4-5 years down the road at least. Surely, in 4-5 subsequent drafts, there would be plenty of QB's to choose from. This. I don't like it. With Cruz possibly gone next season and Eli now 32 we're built to win now. Adding some depth on defense makes more sense there. Hell, just about anything outside of a punter makes more sense there. Funny we decide to go best player available on a quarterback of all things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The fuck you just say? Hey, it's possible, oh yeah Reese on Nassib, "we hope this guy never plays" then why the did fuck did you trade up to get him, there were other needs. I give this an F.

Agreed 100%. Drafting a backup QB would make more sense if: Eli were older. Eli were less durable. We had addressed LB in earlier rounds. I was fine with OL in the 1st, because it was a major need. Pugh seems like a solid starter, with the ability to play along the entire line. I don't like the Hankins pick because I see him as a situational DT, and we already have several big fat tackles on the team. I was fine with Moore in the 3rd because he can rush the passer, and be used as an edge rushing OLB if the situation calls for it. The 4th round pick was a disaster. Cooper is a high risk/reward pick, but acceptable in the 5th. At this point, the draft is pretty much over for me.....anyone from here on out is likely camp fodder or special teamers.

Bigblue25 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 For the record, I don't hate the Pugh pick, just thought that Datone Jones or Floyd was much greater value there, and I would've traded up to get Watson in the 2nd, who is probably going to be a better OT than Pugh, but doesn't translate as well inside. Yeah, also Trufant was there and I know you don't like Ogletree, but I am concerned about the lb's, highly concerned. Reid Fragel is still available, he could of been had with this pick we gave up for Nassib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't leave yet Joe...we have two more picks and there's still some QB's on the board! Grab another beer and some popcorn - this is a draft you'll be able to talk about for years.

JackStroud Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Nassib was projected in many Mocks as a top 10 First Round Pick- #8, the Bills and Jets were both toying with a high 1st round pick of Nassib..............I think we got a steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Wow...don't know what to say. Wow. I love Nassib, but we don't need him. Wow 49ers didn't need kaepernik Atlanta didn't need Brett Favre Green Bay didn't need Aaron Rodgers New England didn't need Brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Awesome. Another cuse guy who not very long ago was being mocked to buffalo in the first. Yes I'm biased. But happy. There was one analyst a few months back who had him ranked as the top QB in the draft. I'm okay with this pick, at least in terms of value.

Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 49ers didn't need kaepernik Atlanta didn't need Brett Favre Green Bay didn't need Aaron Rodgers New England didn't need Brady Alex Smith was not that good. Brett Favre was close to the end of his career. So was Drew Bledsoe Chris Chandler or whoever Atlanta had at QB wasn't that good either. Just saying, not really comparable situations.

Alex Smith wasn't exactly very good from 2005 to 2010. David Carr even went there to try and start after leaving NYG in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Drew Bledsoe at the end of his career? What? Only reason Brady is even Brady was because Mo Lewis gave Bledsoe a shot. Bledsoe played for like 6 more years after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Carr even went there to try and start after leaving NYG in 2009. Right, good point. I mean it want considered that he would be the heir to the throne when he was drafted. I think you should draft a QB every year. Btw, I love Eli but the NF l is changing. A lot of these lineman coming out of college are used to blocking for a QB who can avoid a tackle or 2.

GorillaNJ Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The fuck you just say? It is the reality of the nfl! God forbid but a big injury to Eli is always a possibility. Drafting a back up to have in place for three seasons is not horrible. In case. Then again two years from now he might be a big chip for a trade!

Herc Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 re: the qb trades, 75% of the league is set at QB with a pretty sizeable influx of good qb's entering the league the last 5 years. i'm not optimistic about the trade market for nassib assuming he even gets a chance to showcase his ability while he's here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 We are not a juggernaut We could never compete with David Carr at QB I'VE SAID THIS FOR YEARS That is why I argued to keep Ryan Perriloux Imagine a scenario where Eli goes down in preseason .....we would be done for the year Resse said they have been looking to draft a QB for years.....the oppty never came along til now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I can't believe you guys are still banging back and forth on Nassib. Meanwhile, an hour ago we drafted another offensive lineman and nary a single view or comment on Eric Herman. The more I read up on him, the more I like him. Small school guy, but seems to have the tools. We have Nassib guys....get used to it and let it go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
