surprise niner

My mind has been so caught up waiting for the draft that I haven't really been paying much attention to what else was going on, like possible trade scenarios. So I was caught completely by surprise when I read online this morning that the 49ers have traded their 5th-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins for Ted Ginn, Jr.

It doesn't seem like that long ago that Ted Ginn, Jr. was one of the most exciting players coming out of college into the NFL. He was picked 9th overall by the Dolphins in the 2007 Draft. From what I've been reading just now, his career hasn't been as productive as one might have expected with all his potential. The guy is FAST and can return kickoffs. Maybe the change of atmosphere will make a positive difference to what he does on the field. It seems that he has had way too many dropped passes thus far in his professional career, but I imagine that that wasn't a problem in college. I am looking forward to what a new team situation can do for his production and statistics, and what he can contribute to 49er success.

I have all the faith in the world in the staff and atmosphere that Mike Singletary is putting together here in San Francisco and look forward to seeing how the team comes together in the coming year!
