You get to pick one player from each of the other div teams

[BirdsCommaAngry]

Lots of good options; none of which are kickers.

 

[IBleedBlueAndGreen]

Larry Fitzgerald
Navarro Bowman
Chris Long

Or

John Skelton
David Akers
Wayne Hunter

Im kind of 50/50 on it really.

 

[loafoftatupu]

I would take Long
Vernon Davis
Dirty Darnell

 

[BASF]

It kind of frightens me that only SeatownJay said Iupati. He is the one linemen in the division that is leaps and bounds better than anything we have on our roster at his position. Regarding the thought of Akers: why? He was nothing special this season and we could do better than him easily off of that roster.

So, of course my answer is Iupati. Campbell from Arizona and Brockers from St. Louis.

I'm pretty sure that was a joke.

 

[RufusPorter]

Taking into account current skill, future potential, and youth, I'd say:

Arizona: Calais Campbell (DE)

San Francisco: Aldon Smith (OLB)

St. Louis: Michael Brockers (DT)

If you plugged those three players into our defense, I don't think you'd have any more holes and this would be a record-setting defense imo.

Great post and food for thought. I'd swap the Rams pick though with Chris Givens:

Otherwise I agree one hundred percent. Campbell would find great work here specialist pass rusher, aldon smith would take the soft Will spot we have right now, and I want Givens for the speedster with hands and a chip on his shoulder.

 

[SE174]

AZ: Fitz
SF: Iupati or Bowman
STL: Janoris Jenkins

Agreed on Iupati, not so much on the AZ and STL picks. Jenkins + Sherm = savagery.

Not much respect for Patrick Willis around these parts; he is a top 3 LB who just turned 28. He is also their defensive leader and makes all of their adjustments. That defense drops down 10 spots without him. Jim Harbaugh would be my second choice, but I couldn't stand having him involved with our team (practice squad QB coach?).

Losing Fitzgerald hurts the Cards the most. If you like Rice as a #1 then you will really like him as a #2.

Jeff Fisher is the choice when it comes to the Rams. He got his start as a defensive backs coach and we'll be happy to make him assistant defensive coordinator. With any luck the Rams will hire Rick Neuheisel and finish 2-14.

 

[pinksheets]

Willis, Fitz, Robert Quinn

Nice try trying to get all creative with the coaches... but the title clearly says players

 

[SonicHawk]

Anyone who doesn't take Fitz is out of their mind.

Willis would be awesome and I'd take Brockers from STL.

 

[mech.romance]

Arizona - Larry Fitzgerald
49'ers - Vernon Davis
Rams - Chris Long

Because it would mean reducing the role of our 22yo MLB who SHOULD have won DROY whose 140 tackles, 2 sacks and 3 interceptions (despite starting the season as a 2 down LB) matches up well with Willis' 120 tackles, 0.5 sacks, 2 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles

With the possible exception of taking Fitz over Campbell from the Cards, this is my list.

Keuchly had more responsibilities than Wagner this season and defensive stats can be extremely deceptive. If we looked at stats in a vacuum than the people advocating for Justin Smith (47 tackles, 3 sacks) would feel downright foolish.

 

[ParisPC07]

ATL: Fitz
SF: Iupati (Go Vandals)
STL: Zuerlein.

 

[Scottemojo]

Let's stick a pin in this pipe dream.
In exchange for our covetousness where we steal our favorites from other teams, the other three teams get to take a player too.
The Cardinals take Russell Wilson.
The Rams take Marshawn Lynch.
The Niners take Dick Sure.

 

[dutchcoug]

AZ- Fitz: Vertical threat taken care of.
STL- Quinn: Younger than Long and looks like he could become just as good.
SF- Jim Harbaugh: Make him Pete's water boy.

That was mean.
