All info regarding players are from Waltersfootball.com

Round
1. Chase Minnifield, CB Virginia,Teams threw away from Minnifield throughout the regular season. So far, he has three interceptions with 50 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and eight passes broken up. Minnifield has had good coverage overall. He plays well in man coverage and zone coverage. Minnifield possesses a special physical skill set for the next level.

2. Shea McClellin, DE, Boise State. Playing all over the front seven has taken McClellin out of some pass rushing situations, which has hurt his production this season. That versatility makes him a good fit for the 3-4 in the NFL. Against a future NFL offensive lineman, Georgia's Cordy Glenn, McClellin was phenomenal. He is quick, strong, and features a relentless motor. McClellin could make a move up draft boards this season.

3. Stephen Hill*, WR, Georgia Tech. After Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas, Hill is the latest in a line of Yellow Jackets receivers who are big, fast playmakers and underutilized at Georgia Tech. Hill is a raw receiver with big upside and a high ceiling. He has big size but also is very fast. At the pro level, Hill will need some development, but he could turn into a steal. He made big catches downfield, and averaged 29.3 yards per catch this season. The Yellow Jackets' offense didn't throw the ball often, but when it did, Hill was typically wide open as defenses were so focused on stopping the option running attack. He caught 28 passes for 820 yards and five touchdowns this season. In 2010, as a sophomore, Hill had 15 receptions for 291 yards with three scores.

4. Jaye Howard, DE/DT, Florida. Howard has a quick first step, can overpower offensive linemen at the point of attack and has deceptive speed when trying to run down a ball-carrier. He has the appearance of a versatile guy who could line up as a 4-3 tackle or a 3-4 end.

5. Trenton Robinson, FS, Michigan State. Robinson has had a good senior season. He is a quality defender in run support who operates well in zone coverage. Robinson's speed for the NFL is the biggest question mark, but he could address that against Georgia and in the lead up to the draft.

6. Tavon Wilson, SS, Illinois. Wilson has played well this season for Illinois. He has 74 tackles with 5.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble and five passes broken up. Wilson is a good athlete and could be a quality sleeper/developmental prospect. He has quality instincts.

7. Miles Burris, OLB, San Diego State. Burris was an excellent college player. As a senior, he recorded 78 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss, eight sacks and one pass broken up. Burris had a similar stat line in 2011 to his junior year production of 80 tackles with 20 tackles for a loss, 9.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. Against Michigan, he had some struggles with the Wolverines stronger linemen as they rode him out of a number of plays. In San Diego State's 3-3-5 defense, Burris was a rush linebacker. He would better off adding weight and playing in a 3-4 defense that can use him as a blitzer.

Minnifield is needed even Rogers is resigned. Cruz proved inthe Championship game another corner is needed. McClellan could replace Ahmed Brooks and provide another edge rusher with a non stop motor like Justin Smith. Hill is a sleeper pick that could develop into a cheaper version of Calvin Johnson, a large man with speed. Howard adds great depth. The starting defensive line was on the field way too often and they needed breaks. With the offense being so poor the were on the field alot. Robinson because Goldson if not resigned to a long term deal will be franchised. Not sure if he is a big fan of that. Robinson like Goldson will be a late round steal. Wilson, with Whitner playing so physical with an "F", needs a younger backup. Bruce Miller is on almost all the special teams covering kickoffs and punts and needs to sit because he is the only fullback on the roster. Burris replaces him and maybe Costanzo if the money is too crazy.

Free Agency (Rookie and Regular)

1. Brandon Carr, CB, Chiefs. Carr hasn’t missed a start since opening the first game of his NFL career on September 7, 2008 at New England. His 64 consecutive starts to begin a career are second in team history.

2. Reggie Wayne, WR, Colts. What can you say, future hall of famer. A needed threat on the outside with playoff experience.

3. Chad Rinehart, G, Bills. Anyone but Chilo is an upgrade. A young vet who will help Anthony Davis concentration with his outstanding work ethic.

4. Chris Owusu, WR, Standford. Doubt anyone would draft a receiver coming off a concussion problem while in college. Harbaugh will not miss out on him like Jon Baldwin.

5. Peyton Manning. Alex Smith had a great single season but Manning is no mystery. A decade of great play, playoff wins, passing records, and will improve the offense by leaps and bounds.

i dont know a ton about the depth of this draft so here's my ideal dream:

1. Peyton Manning: he takes a huge pay cut wanting to show the media and world he's still a winner and to make a run at a chip.
2. Reggie Wayne: who better to pain with manning?
3. Trade up and take Alshon Jeffry: Wayne+Alshon would make our offense one of the most dynamic in the league and to pair w/ our defense is scary.

id leave the rest to harbs because i dont know much about past the first 2 rounds .

oh and i wanted colston over jeffry before, but i doubt NO lets him go

Granite Bay Highschool Alumni! Graduated a year before me. It would be awesome to get him.

Speaking of GB Alumni, I have no idea where he's slated to be picked (if at all) but it would be awesome to get Burris' good friend Devon Wylie from Fresno State. He could be a Wes Welker clone and could be a great return man (backup, eventual replacement for Ginn).

Looks like Hill wont be there in the third anymore. He probably wont be there for our second round pick either. We would probably have to trade our first to drop back a few spots in the second and get a future pick similar to the deal we did with the Panthers for Everette Brown. I would be okay with that unless Jenkins slips to the first spot.

We need an update after all the signings:

1st rd - Pick 30) Kevin Zeitler - G - Wisconsin - One more high pick to add to the line and open holes for our running game. Higher than he is probably slotted but I think he could be Harbaugh's guy. If they decide to go offensive skill player, Hill at wr or Fleener at TE could be the pick.

2nd rd - Pick 61) Deal this pick to Miami with our 4th (pick 124) for Miami's two thirds and their fifth. They move up to take Dwayne Allen at TE or a qb that slips to this spot like Cousins or Weeden.

3rd rd - Pick 72) Antonio Allen - SS - South Carolina - Physical safety to add to the secondary. Would be great on special teams.

3rd rd - Pick 73) Billy Winn - DE / DT - Boise St - I always admired how the Giants were able to shuttle lineman in and out and provide consistent pressure with only their front four. Adds depth to the line and will allow Smith and McDonald to get a breather.

5th rd - Pick 136) Josh Chapman - DT - Alabama - Had ACL surgery but perfect fit for our 3 - 4 alignment. Plays over center and let him plug holes to allow the linebackers to roam. Played all season hurt last year.

5th rd - Pick 156) - Justin Bethel - CB - Presbyterian - Big corner who can play safety as well. Adds depth to secondary and can play special teams. Blocked nine kicks during college and has a 76" wingspan.

6th rd - Pick 187) - Devon Wylie - WR - Fresno St - Could be our little chain mover. Quick and elusive and can return kicks and punts.

7th rd - Pick 219) - Miles Burris - LB - San Diego St - Great motor and local guy.

I overpaid for guys like Zeitler and Chapman but think the late round picks can make some noise. The thing I like is that none of the guys have to be rushed into duty. Let them learn and develop. Would love to see what others drafts would be..

Sacramento has some talent in this draft. Akiem Nicks also went to Granite Bay and his stock has soared. He could be a nice pickup as well for us. Asa Jackson from Cal Poly would be a nice fit and we already talked about Wylie and Burris. Taylor Dever from Nevada Union will likely be an undrafted free agent and could be brought in as depth afterwards, practice squad. Christian Tupou from Grant as well.
