49ers: Best Draft of 1st Round

I think the 49ers had the smartest draft last night adding two offensive lineman, Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati. They made a statement that Alex Smith is there quarterback. They traded up two spots to #11 for there first pick to draft Anthony Davis then staying at #17 drafting Mike Iupati.

Anthony Davis is a young left tackle who will start right away for San Francisco. Mike Iupati is a great run blocker and goes hard every play. Both of them fit into the 49ers offensive scheme of running the ball with Frank Gore. Both will be starters for the 49ers.

Anthony Davis slipped a little bit due to lazyness on some plays, but I think Mike Singletary will get the most out of him. Mike Iupati is a better fit for the 49ers due to his run blocking ability. If Iupati can improve his pass blocking ability he will be a pro bowler. I

f you're a 49ers fan don't whine about not drafting Jimmy Clausen. Alex Smith is a good quarterback and will improve with Davis and Iupati. If Alex Smith had a offensive line he would not be considered a bust.

San Francisco 49ers, you had the best draft picks throught the first round. Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis will keep Alex Smith upright for at least 10 years.

Look for the 49ers to win the NFC West now with addition of Iupati and Davis to thier offensive line.

Tim Tebow, Welcome to Denver

Tim Tebow is now a Denver Bronco and for some reason I think this is a good pick for the Broncos. Tebow fits right into Josh McDaniels offense.

When I saw Denver keep trading down I knew they were going to draft Tim Tebow. Expect Tebow to be competing for the starting quarterback with Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. If he is not the starting quarterback for Denver expect him to run the Wildcat offense.

Josh McDaniels had a private workout with Tebow before the draft. Tebow can be bring an immediate impact to the Broncos and sell some tickets in Denver.

When Tebow walks into training camp expect him to be the same from Florida. He will be a vocal leader and a role model of how to play football.

I really think Tebow has a shot to be the starting quarterback for Denver. If I were Josh McDaniels start Tebow and make the offense into a spread offense.

Tim Tebow was a smart pick for Denver and will be a great quarterback in the NFL.

Jerry Hughes Future Indianapolis Colt?

Jerry Hughes, defensive end from TCU is a perfect fit of the Indianapolis Colts. He is a Robert Mathis clone. Coming from a relatively small school and weighing under the average weight of defensive ends.

If the Colts are considering taking Hughes I would take him immediatly. If you want someone to help out your depth on the defense get Hughes. He is a physical speciman and averaged over 10 sacks a year while at TCU.

Jerry Hughes would an immediate impact player for the Colts rotating with Mathis and Freeney. Please, Indianapolis Colts get Jerry Hughes.

Brandon Marshall: Savior of the Miami Dolphins

In my AFC division by division predictions I had the Dolphins at 5-11 due to thier lack of offensive firepower. Now they have that firepower and his name is Brandon Marshall.

Now I think the Dolphins are serious threats to win the AFC East. Ever since Brandon Marshall came out of the UCF he has been a monster on the football field.With him in a Dolphins uniform expect the Dolphins to make the playoffs.

Since Brandon Marshall is on the Dolphins expect the Wildcat Offense to go into hibernation for awhile. Just think Ronnie Brown and Brandon Marshall on the same team! That is a scary duo right there.

My record prediction for the Dolphins is now 10-6. Brandon Marshall is the savior of the Miami Dolphins.

Tim Tebow Over Jimmy Clausen?

The Buffalo Bills are considering taking Tim Tebow over Jimmy Calusen in this year's NFL Draft. Chan Gailey the Buffalo Bills coach says he wants a mobile quarterback to run his offense.

Jimmy Clausen isn't as mobile as Tebow, but he throws better then Tebow. Tebow even changed his throwing motion before the NFL Combine! You would think you would have changed that before you got to Florida University.

Also, since Chan Gailey wants a mobile quarterback Michael Vick is on the trading block. If I were the Bills if both Tebow and Clausen were still there at #9 I would choose Clausen.

If I were the Bills I would draft Jimmy Clausen then trade future draft picks for Michael Vick to come in and run the Wildcat for Buffalo.

Houston, We Have A Problem

The Houston Astros have started off the season on a bad note. Houston is 0-7 and not looking like anything will change soon with thier horrible play.

Lance Berkman has not played though due to knee surgery. I don't know how they have gotten off to such a bad start with all the talent they have. Even without Lance Berkman for another 2 weeks they still have Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence, and Roy Oswalt.

The Astros have young developing pitching talent, but they have Roy Oswalt holding down the main pitching spot with flawless games. That doesn't help with the overall team play though.

Look for this slump to end when Lance Berkman returns. He is the main offensive weapon for the Astros. If this doesn't change anytime soon look for some huge changes on the Astros roster.
