It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.

We could have had a Mario Manningham in the third and Carl Nicks in the 4th.

No way were the 49ers going to take 1, let alone 2 major red flag character guys.

Other players that I wish we could have attempted to get were Cliff Avril, Shawn Crable, and how about taking a chance on Erin Henderson in the 7th round.

There is a reason Henderson fell but otherwise, I agree.
