I believe they drafted him because Kelly likes a guy like that in the slot. That is just the consensus from people around where I am. Perhaps they move him to the outside now, mostly because they have to, but I still think Kelly will prefer him in the slot.
Either way, Cooper is not a #2. They need to get someone there now, too.
Idk why Maclin wouldn't just take $9 mil to stay with Philly. He's not going to put up better numbers in KC, that's for sure.
I think the number Jeremy Maclin is worried about is 11, and its followed by a lot of 0's.
Long shot. Most sane coaches wouldn't spend a premium pick on a pure slot guy. They had to get his talent on the field so they put him out there in 3 wides.
End of an era. Hopefully he gets inducted to the HOF.
It's a good thing the Niners have the best GM in the history of sports to replace all these guys
Well its a good thing they drafted Borland when there was no "Need" last year as well as Lynch.
Rumor is there is going to be huge news of a 49er nobody expects to not be on the team next year.
What a joke this front office is right now. Laughing stock of the league. I hope York is happy when the team is awful and he is sitting in his new stadium with pissed off fans.
They did well. I doubt the interior line will be as good without Smith.
I'll be honest. I didn't think the window for the 49rs was this small. Harbaugh came out of this thing smelling like a ROSE. And stinkin' arse rich.
Worst thing is sports is to have a terrible owner. All great organizations start at the top.
Definnitely not. Justin Smith was a monster of a man. Sad to see him go but I bet another team can lure him out of retirement.

Good first move for the Falcons. I like it.
