Is it just me...
...or are the Niners and especially the Seahawks, getting muuuuuuuch better the past few days?

Not a fan of the Niner draft myself. They have drafted 2 classic underachievers, and one overrated prospect because his status was elevated because he was the one and only guard prospect who should even be draft in the first 3 or 4 rounds. It could work but I am not a fan.

On paper they appear better. Let's see how it plays out on the field. They both have egomaniacs for HC's. Let's not forget that we've also gotten better in the last 24 hrs.

Marginally better but as I told my 49er friend earlier today I think the niners screwed the pooch. They could have taken Clausen/McCoy and Dez Bryant. That would have been scary. Thank goodness they didn't.

Iupati isn't a "mauler" at all. Mays's cover skills make AW look like Deion.

I definitely hate what the Seahawks have done much more, in that I think they have 3 future PBers so far in this draft, but Singletary is a motivator, and I worry what he may be able to get out of these guys. Mays reminds me of a young A-Dub. Truly a shame he didn't come out last year, talk about losing money. I do however like Dan Williams more than any of their picks and cant wait to see him go at it with Iupati.

Iupati is most definitely a mauler. I cannot think of a better word to describe him as a player.

It would be naive to think that the 49ers & Seahawks have not gotten better.
Their first two rounds have added some very good players to both teams.

Seahawks maybe but the Niners I cant say that about at all. I hated all three of the first prospects before the draft even happened and before they were on the Niners so it isn't even a biased thing with me.

I like how he motivated them to a 3-6 record against teams that weren't picking 1-2 in the draft in the last 12 weeks of the season.

Seahawks have done a great job, but they also have a ton of holes, and aren't a threat this season IMO.
49ers could have all three of those guys never amount to above average players IMO.
Im not impressed with their draft
