Patriots have drafted a kicker and a punter. In the same draft.

So glad Damien was able to escape that organization.

They possibly got a steal if he has everything in order, I was hoping the Niners might take him.

Niners are stacked at WR and took Danny Grey last draft. I'm a bit worried on the Latu pick. I love that they took a Bama guy, but Latu always played kind of soft imo. Hopefully he turns into a good pro.

Latu will either rise to the challenge or kick rocks cause that 49ers O is a hard nose group. At this point I expect the Niners to flush most of their draft picks down the toilet so I don't even care whether stuff pans out anymore.

I think the 49ers are solid at WR with Deebo and Aiyuk but we could lose one of them soon. But after that it really is just Jennings who is occasionally productive. It's just you have McCaffrey, Kittle, Jusyyzk who are really versatile and can make plays in the passing game outside of receiver.

Deebo just got paid and it looks like they'll do anything possible to keep Aiyuk. SF doesn't really do the franchise tag thing, but if they did it would be for Aiyuk.

So Deebo, Aiyuk, Jennings (who I hope stays around after this next season), Ray Ray Mcloud, Danny Gray. Kittle, Juice and McCaffrey all have great hands, and now add Latu to the mix. Pretty much a wealth of great options, so I'm not sure how much playing time another rookie would see.

We will see but I wouldn't be surprised if Deebo is gone via trade in the next few years or Aiyuk is gone after his 5th year option. Jennings, McCloud and Gray are expendable they could be gone at anytime for any number of reasons. I don't think Latu going to be considered much of a receiving option early on. In the end it doesn't matter though. I get what you are saying though, this year all those guys probably stay. I just thought he was a good flier to take on a late round receiver. I think he easily could have become a third or fourth receiver option over McCloud and Gray of he showed what he did early on at LSU.

They really needed both of those guys honestly.

Eli Ricks BETTER change positions quickly because he lacks the foot speed of a corner but hopefully somebody notice this and moves him to Free Safety.

Obviously we don't have any talent.

Smh

We struggled damn near every game and had many one score wins with all that damn talent.

I literally hate Bill O'Brien and Golding and those who defended them can get it too.

Wild that Ricks didn't get taken on upside alone. I wonder what's really going on with this guy.

Ricks gave off Eddie Jackson vibes the more I watched him play

Eli Ricks got some really bad advice.

I'm sure Saban advised him to stay. But what does he know about getting guys to the NFL?

Really odd how happy LSU fans are that he went undrafted. Also pretty amusing that when he transferred they told us he was awful, but now that he didn't get drafted they're all, BaMa MaDe HiM tUrRiBlE

I mean, I don't see any Bama fans celebrating the fact that Drew Sanders didn't get drafted until the 3rd round

I thought that was weird too. What a miserable bunch. Probably why they're still obsessed with Saban even after he's been gone for 20 years. Once you leave, you're dead to them. Pretty silly way to go about life.

Yeah, whereas I think the majority of Bama fans are excited to see ex-players have success.

Ekiyor signs with the Colts.

Dale signs with the Bills.

Ricks, Dale and Ekiyor all had eligibility left. I'm really surprised Ekiyor didn't get drafted.
