Man, I have to say, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO WE WILL DRAFT THIS YEAR, IN ANY ROUND, SO HAVE STOPPED TRIPPIN ON IT..

But hopefully Maclin isnt the first pick

I would take just about any other receiver besides Maclin. Don't like how he plays...I think he'll be mostly a KR and will take time to develop into a consistent WR if he ever does.

Id stay away fro Maclin and DHB. Too many ??? for me. Go with Nicks, Robiskie, Barden, Britt before Maclin

Only way Barden is on our team is if we can somehow get into the mid second round again. We are NOT using our two first picks on a project player

I agree Don. It's fun to speculate but we have no fuckin clue what is going to happen, no matter how hard we try.

As for Maclin I would surely be disappointed, but I would be forced to support the decision. I'm skeptical as to weather he can develop into a legit no. 1 target and catch 60+ passes, but anything's possible.

And Barden is the epitome of a project player. Sorry yay but the guy is about as polished as a car bumper after a head on collision.

You would take "Im scared to get hit" Maclin over Barden? :laugh:

I'm sorry I just think Maclin is going to be sh!t and shouldn't' even be taken in the 1st round. I think he's one of the most over-hyped/overrated players in this draft

I would rather NOT have Maclin, but he is definitley a 1st round prospect you're crazy if you think he isn't. By your logic he's shit and we can have him in the 2nd round, but that is not going to happen.

Once again I do not want Maclin and think his game has holes in it, but I can guarantee you 110% that all 32 teams have Maclin higher on their draft boards than Barden, and probably have 4 or 5 other WRs in between the two.

With Al calling the shots there is no telling who we make pick. We may take a Corner, (I'm serious) a WR, its no telling. All I'm going to say is defense wins championships.

I think Maclin will be a great pro, just not with us. We already have a speed demon in JLH. We need a physical WR who can run great routes...

MAclin will be better than Higgins...And Desean JAckson, but not by much.

Oh I agree...but Im just saying Maclin (like you said as well) has holes in his game. I know Maclin is higher on teams boards...I'm just saying. We have JLH, who is probably better in the long run-but we dont have a move-the-chains receiver liek Curry used to be for us.

Nicks, Robiskie fit that roll. Defense first...receiver later

if only there was a way to draft Raji and NIcks that would be a complete draft win!!!

Maclin is just a glorified version of Higgins. We need that true wideout, Crabtree.

Maclin will be a good receiver but I believe he is the same type of receiver Higgins is. He is a playmaker at special teams and a #2 wide out. We need a physical go 2 guy. Picking Maclin at #7 is a little bit of a reach in my eyes. When R we going to answer this question- R we ever going to try to stop the run???? R run defense has been horrible for far to long. I don't think Maclin is the answer at #7. We will see what happens.:619:

I don't like Maclin. Its a feeling i have. Also as stated we need that possession receiver that every QB wants who also compliments the speed guys like JLH.

I feel that Maclin will be nothing more than what Dante hall turned into or at the most a JLH. I don't think he will flourish in Oakland. The best spot for him in my opinion would be Jville.
