April 1 mock draft
Posted: Tue Apr 1, 2014 1:35 am
I have called Culliver stupid and immature right after the super bowl lost, but his actions are now criminal with the last incident. The Niners have signed or resigned 3 corners : Cook, Wright, and now Cox. All 3 could make the team or none or keep some. Before his latest stupid act, Carlos Rogers was cut making the depth and experience in the backfield worse.
Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis play on 3rd down or on passing downs. Now with Bowman out for at least half the season, his replacement is needed. Skuta was a inside backer and could see time there again in running downs. What is going to hurt more is who replaces him on passing downs with Willis?
Crabtree free agent after the season and his asking price might be more than the Niners are willing to pay. Boldin has a 2 year deal but is 34 years old and Patton played well but the Niners really need a deep threat to create better running lanes.
Kilgore will be the new starter who has never started an NFL game and his backup is Looney who is learning the position so help is needed. Iupati is in the same boat as Crabtree, both deserve bigger contract but do the Niners want to pay?
If a trade happens, would love to see the Niners go after Odell Beckham by trading the 30th pick, 61st, and LaMichael James to the Ravens. They could use extra picks and the Ray Rice thing may be a season long issue.
Round 1-30th Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech, perfect size, speed, arm length, technique but has not been healthy for sometime even in college.
Round 2-56th Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida, volunteered to play safety with Roberson and Purifoy and outplayed them both. By him switching position to safety it showed the team comes first to him.
Round 2-61st Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson, overshadowed by Watkins but offers size and speed. Will learn from Boldin and Crabtree and eventually replaces one of them. Only one spot open with the resigning of Osgood.
Round 3-77th Telvin Smith, OLB, FSU, First surprise as stated above a replacement for Bowman on 3rd downs as the cover linebacker. Also with Phil Dawsons short kickoffs, another special team standout is needed.
Round 3-94th Ed Reynolds, S, Stanford, even though Bethea was signed he is still 30 years old. And it could mean the end for Spillman who only plays special teams and some goal line stuff.
Round 3-100th Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas, comp pick can't be traded so it's found gold. A bigger center if Kilgore can't handle starting.
Round 4- 129th Josh Mauro, DE, Stanford, will learn from two great vets in Smith and McDonald. Offers size at the DE position.
Round 5- 170th Aaron Colvin CB, Oklahoma, injured but will redshirt like Tank and Lattimore.
Round 7 - Trey Burton, Florida, WR/TE/FB, Delaine Walker clone.
Round 7 - Spencer Long, G, Nebraska, another injured player will redshirt like Tank and Lattimore.
Round 7 - Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech. future 3rd stringer maybe
