    Watching some of the Bowl games over the Christmas break. Louisiana Tech V Navy was a great game (48 - 45). Louisiana Tech WR Trent Taylor had something like 233 yards and 2 TDs. He's going to be a late round draft pick (only 5'8) in next year's draft but looks like the next Wes Welker or TY Hilton. Bet the Pats pick him.

    Nope the 49ers select Trent Taylor in the fifth round and get the steal of the draft! woohoo! Great overall draft by San Francisco but now its about getting the best of the undrafted bunch, as they tend to fill out the rest of your roster (with some becoming elite players).

    Who is this guy Sneak?

    @canefan The best WR in college football last year. Undersized but is damn elusive. His WR team mate Carlos Henderson went to Denver in the third round but Taylor is the better player.
    Could be the next Wes Welker or Julian Elderman but apparently he just wants to be the next Trent Taylor:

    As a 5’8 white wide receiver, guess who Trent Taylor has been compared to?

    The answers are obvious but Taylor just want to be his own guy

    If his name was Corey Davis, I'd agree with this.😃

    Very long but very interesting article by legendary US journalist Peter King on being inside the 49ers draft room last weekend. Worth a read.

    ‘Ready to Be a 49er?’ Inside San Francisco’s Draft Room

    ‘Ready to Be a 49er?’ Inside San Francisco’s Draft Room

    Trades to move up, deals to slide down and the selection of a player not even on the board. John Lynch’s first draft had everything, including historical parallels that gave the rookie GM goose bumps. How it all went down, plus notes on best picks, the Bears’ rationale and more from Philly

    Never heard this about the last draft pick before, thought it was pretty funny. The best part " you don't know any Polynesians do you?".

    What It's Like to Be the NFL Draft's Last Pick

    A weird, wild weekend. An insulting trophy. Torture from teammates. Here's what it's like from seven players who lived it.

    @jegga One of the best things about the draft is the Mr Irrelevant pick. They never make it to the NFL (apart from kicker Ryan Succop) but Chad Kelly could be a solid development pick by the Broncos if he gets his attitude right.

    You just don't get this sort of content in sports. So brutal, but great insight.

    Fisher made his bed, but when a head coach gets fired, it's almost certain the whole staff gets fired along with him. It's a tough business.

    That's a tough watch. Pretty raw emotion. I'm a Titans fan, and Fisher was pretty good for us for a good few years.
