Draft Shocker

Wouldn't it be funny if the 49ers took Ronnie Brown with the #1 pick? If they sign David Boston, I think Rattay wouldn't do bad with his receiving corps. To be honest, I thought Barlow was impressive as a backup, but he doesn't have the ability to be an every down back. I know they need to address their defense, but it would throw the whole draft out of whack!
Plus, there are other interesting QB prospects they can get later in the draft and for much, much CHEAPER! If they select a QB with the first pick, they will be forced to pay a huge salary to a 'hit or miss' player.

Miami would be dumbfounded!

QB is not a position you just throw in later It's the position you build around Rattay is an average backup nothing more, Barlow is crappy but RB is the deepest position in the draft if they really want one Ciatrick Fason and J.J. Arrington could start for alot of teams right now.

You know, I have to agree with runrickyrun. I just don't see this year's QB's as top 5 draft pick material (flame away).

Barlow was miserable last year - I know because I suckered somebody into a trade of Culpepper for Barlow in my fantasy league last year. I laughed at Barlow's performance the rest of the year.

I would love to see San Fran draft somebody other than a QB and either pick one up in the later rounds, or wait until a future draft/trade.

I don't know if I would take Ronnie Brown, but I would not spend the $$ on Alex Smith and definitely not on Aaron Rodgers.

The 9ers just gave Barlow a 5mill roster bonus a month ago. They are not going to pick RB in the first.

i think the niners should just draft aaron rodgers. everyone says we should draft edwards , williams , or brown. but to build this team , we need a qb to build around and i think we could do that around rodgers. i dont want to see the niners struggle another 2 win season. we need to start winning now , and if we draft rodgers, he should be the starter from day one.

The 9ers are going to be a poor team no matter who they draft. If you're tired of losing and want more of an impact player from the getgo, then QB is NOT The way to go. Going Edwards or Williams would be the best way. You have a QB in Rattay that can play now, and if you give him weapons, he can at least be decent, which would give you more wins this season.

I think the 9ers are going Rodgers, but I think if you want more results from the getgo, he shouldn't be the choice.

good points RD , edwards and williams wouldnt only boost win totals but they would boost fan attendence as well , im sure. also that would make rattay develop even more as a DECENT qb. but we need a home run hitter right now. i think if rodgers is put in as the starter he already has weapons. rashaun woods and brandon lloyd are young and very talented and there is a lot spec. that boston could be coming to the bay area as well. and the running game will also pick up this year with a couple more imporvements on the line through the draft and the rest of FA.
