Pretty sure most of the people in this section of the forum know I was pushing HARD for Jordan Matthews at WR.
Matthews has 44 catches for 558 yards and 6 TDs, including back-to-back 100+ yard games and a TD in 3 straight. He's turning into a go-to option.
My secondary option was Jimmie Ward who was playing okay in the nickle for SF until he injured his foot and is out for the year.
Dee Ford was the one player I absolutely did not want and here we have him. One can hope he somehow learns to play run defense before next season, but I'm not on board with that pick until he shows me something.
In any event, what tells me Dorsey does not pick Best Player Available in my mind is that I would have (and many others) considered Darqueze Dennard, Bradely Roby, Xavier S'ua Filo, Joel Bitonio, Ra'Shede Hageman, Marqise Lee, Jeremiah Attaochu, Devante Adams, Donte Moncrief, and a few others all better players than Ford. How all those have faired so far I haven't checked.
