I've actually been one of the people against VD being drafted. But all signs point to the fact they want offensive weapons (i.e. interest in Walker and Moulds). If they're going to draft a tight end, VD is the best bet. I mean, look at VD's physical tools alone. He causes super matchup problems. I still want them to take Huff @ #6, but if they take VD, its highly unlikcly they'd take Lewis too. IF. I never said they already drafted VD.

When did the draft start vin? I dont see why we would draft vd at the number 6 pick when we could get lewis in round 2 I didn’t realize we drafted VD already in the first round.

It would be nice 2 add a vet n the secondary, but adding a rookie?? I think we r bluffin, we better be. If we r looking 4 corner, Law and Woodson available.

Between Hester, Gordon, and Blackmon, Gordon is the most polished at corner. He lacks size (somewhat), and speed (on paper), but he plays a whole lot faster. Most people/sites have Blackmon and Gordon ranked higher than Hester. As for drafting Carpenter, Lewis, or Cromartie: The only one that will probably be available in round 2 (out of those three) would be Lewis. But its highly unlikely the Niners would draft VD AND Lewis. Hence, a Guy like Gordon would be a nice grab. While many teams may not rank Gordon high up there, he is talented and smart. Teams rankings depend, not only on skill, but also on need. Many coaches don't like jacks-of-all-trades, and that hurts his rankings on other teams' boards, but it doesnt take away from the fact he is one of the highest ranked prospects coming into the draft (at corner).

Out of the three top CB/WR/PR hybrid players (Hester, Gordon, Blackmon) only Gordon is a GOOD cornerback, better than guys like Anwar Phillips and on par with Kelly Jennings in terms of coverage skills. The rest are mediocre covermen and are looking like teams will using them more as WRs than CBs. dolemite, you’ve never watched Gordon play before then eh?

I would say that is pretty good value and you dont expect guys to start as rooks at ound 6 HOW do you not understand arnez battle, we drafted him in the 6th round.
