Falcon Forever Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hear me out.I don't have any problems with Douglas. As a matter of fact, I kinda like the guy. However, Douglas' value is probably at its peak. He just had a 1000 yard season, but is unlikely to repeat that with a healthy Roddy and Julio.The trade: I would trade Douglas to the 49ers for Marcus Lattimore.1) The 49ers are currently looking into bringing in FA wide receivers. They have been rumored to be interested in Edelman and Hakeem Nicks. Both of these WR's will likely cost more than Douglas's contract.2) Douglas has two years left on his contract: 2014 @ $2.75M, and 2015 @ $3.5M. He also has the ability to play at outside receiver or in the slot.3) From all accounts, Marcus Lattimore has progressed nicely in his rehab and is preparing to play in the 2014 season. The kid was an absolute monster in college, but was the victim of two freak injuries.4) Darius Johnson played well last year and can take the slot duties over from Douglas. Also, this would open up a roster spot to invest in a late-round high-upside WR prospect in a draft full of potential sleepers.5) Lattimore would get a year of working behind SJax and then would be able to take over in 2015.6) This would also save us about 2-3 million on this year and next years cap, which we can allocate towards resigning Julio.Thoughts???

StockSpyder Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 to SF? where their best receiver Boldin is already in the slot? or do you mean to suggest Harry can play outside, giving the Niners 2 horrible outside receivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Teams dont just look and say "Wow this guy had 1,000 yards last year, he must be really good". They see that he never gets touchdowns, trips over ghosts, and chokes with big catches.San Fran may even look at the tape and see where we were about to ruin their last game in Candlestick, then Harry juggles the ball so they have time to get a pick 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact...for all the consecutive years of 1000 yards for Roddy...his Completion:TD ratio is TERRIBLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 His game tape against then is hardly impressive. Not sure that they would want to have Lattimore on IR for a year and then trade him as soon as he is healthy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kenn Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Why would the 49ers make this trade?why would we make this trade? HD is a 1000 yard WR. Lattimore is coming off the worst knee injury ive ever seenThis sounds like Roddy's first four years. As a matter of fact...for all the consecutive years of 1000 yards for Roddy...his Completion:TD ratio is TERRIBLE!stop it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaderMan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 HD was drafted in the 4th round. If some team is willing to give us their 4th this year, i say do it! Darius Johnson or Drew Davis can give us what HD does in the slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTUS12 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Makes sense. Their number #1 RB is on the wrong side of thirty and the past two seasons HD blew an easy play in the 4th quarter that would have given us the W over them. Harbaugh seems like a dumb guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradbowski Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Harry Douglas = dime a dozen WR in the NFLAnd any post that beings with "hear me out" or "please don't flame me"... you already know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always suprises me how often our slot WR is being discussed and how many people think we desperately need an upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajhae Battle Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 HD had a decent season last year,I respect Lattimore,just don't want him, rather go after the many backs available in this year's draft or hold out for next year & go after Gurley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
