Was this the “return favor” for the Warner contract offer for Bartelstein?

I like this because if he gets injured it would be like having Jonas Jennings but at a cheaper price tag because it is a low deal. I don’t think this rules out them drafting an Tackle with pick 10 if there is a can’t miss tackle there. But if it is a borderline decent pick at OT and there is a Raji, Brown, or Orakpo avaliable I’d expect them to take him.
On another note it’s shocking that Florio could go one niners story without a cheesy joke involving Singletary dropping his pants.

I have mixed feelings. Two years ago Marvel Smith would have been a great pickup. But coming off two years of back surgery? I would have really liked to see them use the #10 draft pick on a tackle and they could bookend Staley and the youngster for the next 10 years. Oh well http://bayareasportsfan.wordpress.com/

If the 49ers ARE going to take a reciever in the draft Kenny Britt would be my choice.
if he’s still on the board! Need help on both sides of the line and a RB as well.

Good player when healthy. Hopefully he can stay that way.

I guess this rules out tackle for the Niners first round pick. Time to change my mock. I’m such a loser for having a mock. Anyone got a life I could borrow? Everrit Brown or Orakpo? LONGSHOTS B.J. Raji?Tyson Jackson? Beinie Wells? Tough choices.

Should be worth a 7th round pick pick to the Steelers.
Wait, if a person has a back injury two years in a row and you sign an incentive contract then there is no pick.
Little known compensatory pick rule.

I can do a better job at predictions than Florio. Lions vs Bengals in Super Bowl 44

A lot of Niner news, keep it up Florio!
