My niner mock (if i were GM)

[ticknyler]

1st- Andre Smith, OT, Backup to Marv for a year and the starter for next 10 years, will play for Sing
2ne-Larry English,OLB, Pash Rush specialist, solid special teams, add another weapon.
3rd-Coye Francies, CB, Athletic CB, at least could provide depth in our agining and thining secondary
4th-Terrance Taylor-DT, Huge body to help occupy blockers, more depth online, Good Potential, strong
5th-Mike Thomas-WR, Small Speedy reciever, poor mans Danny Avery,
6th-PJ Hill-RB, Big Bruiser RB, Could help spell Frank,----maybe go speedy rb instead of Big?
7th-Andy Kemp, OG, Large guard that can probably at least move someone for a late round pick


or maybe wouldnt mind Raji in 1s, Alphonso Smith in the 2nd, OT in the 3rd,

I like the positions you drafted, although I don't know much about the players after English.

I think we'll go speedy RB rather than power. Thomas Clayton, Moran Norris, and Michael Robinson already cover the power RB slot.

IF you dont recognize the players, go to nfldraftcountdown.com, they seem to have pretty fair rankings and even give you a projection to where they might be drafted.

Here's Risdon's write-up on Francies, who is a CB out of San Jose State. Risdon has him as a late 2nd round pick in his latest mock earlier this week.

Real speedster with good height for the position. Shows fluidity in his hips and shoulders when on the move, exits his backpedal under control and ready to burst. Has a good feel for route recognition and doesn’t bite on fakes. Good at jumping short inside routes, reads the QB very well. Very sound tackler who filled in at safety and looked like a force against the run at that position. Can make the acrobatic INT. Very good on returns, both off picks and on PR/KR duty. Really stood out during Senior Bowl workouts for his man coverage skills and closing burst. Also showed leadership ability and a willingness to be coached in Mobile.

A JUCO transfer forced out of Oregon State after a weapons charge (later dropped), he carries personal baggage. The scouts I’ve talked to unanimously tell me he’s matured and developed into a mentally stronger young man, but teams are wary of guys busted for carrying an unlicensed loaded gun. Thin-framed and light for his height, though there is some room for added functional bulk. Really needs to improve lower-body strength; his legs look like Keon Clark’s. His tumultuous school-hopping resulted in not getting much experience or consistent coaching. Not very good with his hands in fighting for position or jamming, holds too much.

Not who I would necessarily pick, but based on circumstantial evidence, I'm thinking it'll be Tyson Jackson or Michael Oher.

[St.Nick]

I'd rather have Oher than Orakpo and possibly Everette Brown, as well. I think there are a ton of good pass rush LB's in the draft, not to mention Harylson is locked in and Lawson with a healthy body could emerge.

The guy I really want is Raji, though. I think he'd be our Vince Wilfork or Albert Haynesworth. It would probably elevate Willis to another level, as well.

1. Raji
2. Larry English
3. Cedric Peerman (change of pace running back)
4.Gerald Cadogan- (RT prospect with upside who can learn a year behind Marvel Smith)

Other picks: S, WR, DE, CB

[RIPskaterdude]

I'm hoping that Sanchez falls to us....so we can trade the pick and get another 2nd or 3rd round pick. Maybe Denver will trade up 2 spots for one of their later pick, and then we can get Oher. Or, maybe the Jets will trade up from the 17th spot....

I do think we might pick up a QB later in the draft, however. Matt Barrows (49ers beat writer for SacBee) said in his mock that we may go for QB Stephen McGee from Texas A&M in the 4th round. From what I've heard, he's impressed alot of scouts recently and has really shot up the draft board the past few days. Here's his mock, alot of which I agree with (although I think taking Oher at 10 is a reach, IMO). Also, I don't understand why he doesn't have us picking any DBs...
