Wow those are a lot of negative comments about sheppard. I was under the impression he had pretty good instincts and a knack for getting to the ball carrier. Unfortunate..

Love reading Chris Brown’s insight on the upcoming draft and his “light” evaluation of players currently on the team.. I am in full agreement that we need to draft two ILB’s , though it brings me back to my old way of thinking: What could have been. What if the 49ers didnt pick Patrick Willis right before our pick, would we have still went with marshawn.. I highly doubt it considering we drafted the best ILB available with Poz in the second

I just don't get the jones everybody has for Andrew Luck

I haven’t seen him play, so I can’t evaluate . . . everybody keeps saying, “he’s the most pro-ready” “he’s a sure-fire star” “he’s our future” . . .

Uh-huh. I seem to recall those same things were said about Jake Locker before this past season.

Besides, for all we know, Luck might be another Elway/Cousineau: only wants to play for one team {not the Bills} and will skip to Canada and/or refuse to report until he gets to go where he wants . . . which I think is SF. It wasn’t for nothing that Luck decided to go back for his last year at Stanford when he thought Harbaugh was staying; now that Harbaugh is just 30 miles up the 101 in SF, they’re probably both just waiting for the chance to be reunited . . .
