Non-Sharks NorCal Sports Thread XXI

It's not as if they're losing all of that anyway. Reid and Bethea will still be hitting people when the time comes. But their defense needs better coverage more than they need that big hit factor.

12 million is a huge overpayment. glad it wasn't the Niners. Walter Thurmond still out there. I'd want them to take a run at him.

I also firmly believe the Niners will trade up in the first round to take a high wide receiver like Adams from Texas A&M or Clinton-Dixx

Draft is too deep and the 49ers can fill all holes in the first 3 rounds. I wouldn't trade up at all.

Stanford basketball won yesterday. I think they're a lock to make the NCAA Tournament now.

As for Cal, they need to beat Colorado today. If they don't, I don't think they'll make it.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Cal's bubble might have popped. We'll see in a few days, but I don't think they'll be one of the 68 teams in the tournament.

ESPN's Mel Kiper has the Raiders taking QB Teddy Bridgewater with their first round pick in his latest mock draft. He has the 49ers taking CB Kyle Fuller.

I could live with that. Walter Thurmond and Julien Edelman are both visiting. Would be a steal if they could manage to get both.

If the Raiders take Bridgewater they really are hopeless.

They need a LT, and there are tons of great ones available.

I would also be ok with Clowney, but i'm not sure he will be there at 5.

 

[Timo Time]

Warriors had an 18 point lead on the lowly Cavs, only for Mark Jackson to once again mismanage his bench and now they're getting thrashed.

I agree with you that they should take an offensive tackle with the 5th pick. If they do take a QB, who is going to block for him? And who would the quarterback throw to? Taking a QB just for the sake of taking one just seems like a Raiders move to me. I really feel bad for you guys.

I don't think Clowney will be there at 5, either.

If you let a scrub like Spencer Hawes go for a career-game, your bigs weren't good enough.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

What a comeback by the Quakes. Great games by Salinas and Bernardez.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I make yearly NCAA Tournament predictions before the bracket comes out. I have Stanford as a 9 seed.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Stanford is a 10 seed in the south and plays New Mexico in the first round.

That's a terrible draw. I had New Mexico as a 5 seed.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

My Alma Mater made the big dance for the first time..I expect to get boat raced but go Mustangs!

 

[USF Shark]

my USF Dons are in the NIT as a 4 seed! Nice!

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

New Mexico deserved a higher seed. Obvious bias against the Mountain West, yet again.

I don't see Stanford coming within 10 pts, to be honest.

Even better when you look at our record

13-19 Cinderella story.

Epic ****ing collapse of a season by Cal.

Oh well, maybe they'll get lucky in the NIT...

I thought that at first too, but apparently sagarin has NM and Stanford at 31-32, so it might be close.

Congrats to Cal Poly!

You never know. I've seen a lot of nm this season. They're very athletic from the bigs down.

I've watched New Mexico quite a bit as well. Despite losing a first round pick to the NBA from last year (and their coach), they might have a better overall team this year even though they got a 3 seed last year (and then got bounced in the "second round"). I thought they were underseeded.

So sad to hear that Parker needs Tommy John surgery again...

Right before his first Opening Day start, too. I'm not an A's fan, but damn, I feel for him. He's young to be going through his second TJS. Hope he has successful operation and recovery.
