We have multiple needs and we won't be able to fill in all needs in one draft, we need to keep the players who contribute regularly. We should resign Darby and if we happen to draft a CB who can take over Darby's spot, then great. If not, then we have Darby. We should not allow Darby walk away without finding a replacement first.

Needs:

QB
MLB
TE
T
S
RB
CB

We have plenty of picks, they might keep Haskins and you can scratch QB from the list.

In that order. Not draft wise but need wise. Rest is depth depth and more depth. Mainly on the o line imo.

Gibson and Thomas are both awesome - obviously could use backups there. I know Hopkins had a couple good kicks in big spots but overall he has been less than meh. Looks like WR could be good to go which is great.
As for Haskins I don’t see it. I think he needs to go. Quarterback is the number one need going forward. As usual. Lol.

I recommend you to read this article about Rivera and Hopkins.

I'll say this about Trent. I loved him when he played for us -- a warrior who played hurt and was a stud on some very bad teams. Great role model and came to play every week. He went out on a sour note, looking to blame someone for his own stupidity (and probably wanting a quick fix to get to a winning team). Who in his right mind would rely on a team physician for a cancer diagnosis?

Loved Reed as a player too, although felt badly about his health situation. Not sure if he's nursing a grudge for being released, but if so, screw him.

Shanahan was a good coordinator for us, but if he's nursing a grudge that's just dumb.

Assume for a minute that these three are looking to settle a score. We have the best counter to that nonsense -- Alex Smith. He was cast aside by SF and I believe that his will to win and overcome adversity far outstrips that of the three mentioned above, individually or collectively. I'd love to see him go off on SF.

Well said my Woodside friend, in addition to TW and Reed, Tom Compton and Tony Bergstrom are on the roster.

Right -- I forgot about those two. They're getting playing time too.

And you know who lives in Woodside? Alex Smith. He's actually building a house here not too far from me. I served on our town's planning commission and had to approve the plans, in fact. I've seen him at the local market in town (we have only one); he couldn't have been nicer and stopped to chat with the folks that work there. Hard to find a more decent and humble guy. And even harder to find one as tough. I am so happy for him that he's been able to get back on the field and play -- and play well. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish last. Sometimes, they get to beat the Steelers.

If Hopkins can finish the year on a good note that is great. Im just not convinced he can because of one game. Hope so. Hate to waste recourses on another kicker.
