    Can't believe I'm doing this, but I cringe at the thought of even typing this name because I feel my chances of winning slipping away as I do, but....

    Fred Taylor. :(

    He'll run for 2000 yards or die on the field of a mosquito bite...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but 66% (14) of the first 21 picks have been RB's.... yes, I think that qualifies as a "run", Behad.

    Daunte Culpepper,

    I'll likely have to be leaving town tomorrow morning and be gone until Tuesday evening. I'll leave someone a list of around 15 players which will hopefully keep things from slowing down and allow us to get through two to three more rounds by that time.

    Ya know how frustrationg it is to be waiting for your draft pick, knowing that the guy you're waiting on is going to take the player you want? Come on PSJ, put me out of my misery.:( :(

    He was my backup plan....I'll take Tiki Barber. RB's are getting in short, short supply.

    Big risk there, Manny. Garcia has a bad back, injured last month

    Ballsy pick, but it could pay off. He was the #1 scoring QB going into last year.



    jent: jgillard@nf.sympatico.ca I'm way down at the bottom, so it doesn't matter.

    Hell, I can never remember. He's told me a number of times, but I always forget.


    It's 11:40pm Saturday, according to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

    Damn, I didn't even realize that. I was thinking about Kurt Warner but he seems to get hurt every year now.

    I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that Garcia will be okay.


    Niners' Garcia to rest sore back

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Associated Press


    SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Quarterback Jeff Garcia will skip the San Francisco 49ers' preseason opener on Saturday to rest his sore back.

    Garcia, a three-time Pro Bowler, hurt his back in a workout a few days before training camp began. He had been participating in nearly every practice at camp until Tuesday, when his back got stiff again.

    After Garcia skipped the 49ers' morning practice on Wednesday, coach Dennis Erickson decided to keep him out of the team's first exhibition in Kansas City.

    "We've been out here a lot of days and a lot of practices, and it stiffened up on him a little bit," Erickson said. "We've just got to be careful with it. He never had a problem with it, and all of a sudden yesterday it bothered him.

    "Maybe it's a good thing in that he'll be able to realize what he can and can't do to have himself ready physically to play."

    Garcia passed for 3,344 yards and 21 touchdowns last season while leading San Francisco to the NFC West title and the second round of the playoffs. He has made the last three Pro Bowls.

    But Garcia's absence in the preseason could be a good thing for the 49ers, who must evaluate a lively quarterback derby for the backup spots.

    Tim Rattay, Garcia's seldom-used backup for the past two seasons, will start against the Chiefs. Rattay was 26-of-43 for 232 yards and two TDs last season, but he has played almost nothing but mop-up minutes in his NFL career.

    "I'm a big Tim Rattay fan," Erickson said. "I'm really impressed with him. It's hard to find any negatives, other than he hasn't played. He's got a tremendous arm."

    Rattay will give way to promising third-stringer Brandon Doman during the second quarter, and rookie Ken Dorsey probably will get his first NFL snaps in the fourth quarter. Unless Rattay seriously falters, Doman and Dorsey are fighting for one roster spot -- though the 49ers have said they might keep all four quarterbacks.

    Garcia probably won't even make the trip to Kansas City with his teammates. He won't practice again until Monday, and Erickson thinks he'll be ready to play in San Francisco's home exhibition against Oakland on Thursday.

    All-Pro receiver Terrell Owens skipped another workout on Wednesday morning to rest his sore groin, but Erickson expected him to practice and play later in the week. Owens also missed Tuesday's workouts.

    A third Pro Bowler also might miss Saturday's game. Center Jeremy Newberry has a torn ligament in his ankle, and the 49ers plan to limit his exhibition action to keep him ready for the regular season.
