I've been reading a few comments of praise of Kevin King and Josh Jones. I wonder what the future is for our former 1st and 2nd round CB's from what was it, 2014 draft?

Green Bay Packers rookie Josh Jones has made an impact already. Good morning, Green Bay Packers fans, and welcome to the Titletown Report. Rookie Josh Jones has made an impact, while Quinten Rollins has also made a good start. Improvements to the secondary will go a long way to making good one Mike Daniels' wish

I don't think Jones is competing for the same position, in my mind he's going to get his reps at Safety and inside linebacker (or whatever we call the new hybrid safety/ILB spot).

How has Jones looked in pads?

Pass break-ups, a couple would be sacks, an interception, and a tackle of a loss... so yea he's coming along.

Jones is the player I have been most excited to see. I was hoping that Aaron Rouse would have been able to play the SS/ILB hybid spot and he never panned out. Hopefully Jones has better luck and can stay healthy.

Having a guy who can hit and still run with todays WR's and TE's is a huge asset.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Coach McCarthy and Coach Capers understand this and therefor are placing early emphasis on CB's Davon House and Kevin King . They know that repeating last seasons CB mistakes will not result in a different result . I applaud their willingness to not remain stuck with last seasons 31st ranked Secondary ! [thumbup]

Well...this IS good news. Maybe a young guy that really wants to make the team can light a fire under the butts of the guys that didn't seem to "show up" last year.
Fear of losing your job can have that affect.

I don't as yet know how Josh Jones will be used in the GB Defense , but so far all reports give him high praise . A Hybrid LB / Safety that aggressively covers the short field sounds great to me . Stopping the inside run or covering against TE's / RB's in the short passing plays ! Additionally , in the Blitz , he could be a very scary defender ! [bdance]

He will sack quarterbacks this year. That's a guarantee. If he can force a fumble while doing so, all the better!

Zero2Cool (9h) : whoa...49ers have had trade conversations about both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk

Zero2Cool (9h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (10h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (10h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (10h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (24-Apr) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
