Your version of how Frisco's draft plays out

[thesack12]

How would you like to see the draft go for the the 49ers? Frisco has 9 draft picks to work with (#13, 17, 50, 80, 114, 147, 185, 209, 228), plus any trades you may cook up.

Heres my half-blind, shot in the dark crack at it:

First Round

#13: Joe Haden- CB, Florida
#17: Trent Williams- OT, Oklahoma

Second Round

#50: Dexter McCluster- RB/KR, Mississippi

Third Round:

#80: Myron Rolle- S, Florida State
*TRADE for an additional 3rd*: Javier Arenas- CB/KR, Alabama

Fourth Round:

#114: Selvish Capers- OT, West Virginia

Fifth Round:

#147: Traded for 3rd round pick (Javier Arenas)

Sixth Round:

#185: Danario Alexander- WR, Missouri
#228: Traded for 3rd round pick (Javier Arenas)

Seventh Round:

#228: Traded for 3rd round pick (Javier Arenas)

I haven't looked into the later rounds to much but how I truthfully think it'll go down. This isn't my dream scenario but I could really see it going down this way.

1st Round
13th pick- Trent Williams- Singletary wants to run and 6'5'' 315lb tackles sounds like someone who will hold down the right side of the line for the next decade.

17th- Taylor Mays- I truly think if he's available Singletary is taking him. He's already expressed interest in him since the combine and would be able to fill the hole at safety on defense.

2nd Round
#50- Jhavid Best- I think that because his injury problems a lot of teams are gonna be to scared to take the risk. But the niners won't need him to be a work horse and would us him predominantly in the PR/KR position. Also would be a nice change from Gore and Coffee's style of running.

*Okay from now on I'm gonna just say the position I believe they'll go after because I don't really know much of the talent beyond the 2nd.

3rd Round
OG- We all know we're not iron-clad at the position and could use some depth.

4th Round
WR- Morgan isn't the WR2 solution long term, an upgrade is needed eventually and maybe we can find someone who will have a bit more speed to go with the bigger/stronger Morgan and Crabtree.

5th Round
DE- Brooks/Harlyson/Sopoaga all are decent but not exactly my ideal fix at the left defensive end spot.

6th Round
OLB- See above

7th Round
Don't really care. But I'd go with a Kicker that could be the eventual replacement for Nedney.

I can't decide how I feel about Mays for us.

On the one hand, we've had pretty good luck with the physical freaks (VD, Willis) and if you look at Mays as a freak package you can work on to build into an actual player, then maybe we're the team to do it. IF he did live up to his measurables, we'd have 2 guided missiles out there, and that'll keep opposing teams gun-shy.

On the other hand, the guy has just never really impressed me as a player, and is sort of one of those guys I usually hope another team falls in love with in front of us, to drop an actual player down into our laps.

Argh.

If it were up to me, at this point, I think I pass on him, and hope Haden drops with one pick, and with the other I can see going in several directions based on who drops:

If by some stretch one of the top OTs drops, grab him.
If not, take Spiller and get in early on marginalizing the effect of Gore's decline. It's probably coming pretty soon.
If not that, then and Earl Thomas is there, try and turn the secondary from a weakness to a strength in one go, a la 1981.
If not not not, maybe go guard in Iupti. I actually think I prefer that to settling for one of the lower rated first round tackles.

The more I see/hear/think about Taylor Mays makes me not want him more. Dude is a premier athlete but doesn't actually have many football skills. Even if he does develop into a useful player (IMO I don't think he will ) it will be at least 3 or 4 years down the road, and Frisco needs safety help today. Historically 1st round picks are rarely used on safeties, and you can address that position later on in the draft and get quality players with regularity. Plus, I don't really like gambling on boom or bust picks in the 1st round, the middle rounds sure but not at the top of the draft. I also don't believe that Mays will be close to BPA @ 13 or 17, if you want to practice that draft strategy.

I know people will say that Vernon Davis was able to transition his freakish athleticism into being a quality player. But VD actually had football skills in college, he was a good receiver and was/is a devastating blocker.

1st Round

13th pick-Joe Haden, 49ers desperately need a quality CB to pair with Shawntae Spencer for the long-term and Haden was a 4 year starter in the SEC.
17th pick-Trent Williams/Anthony Davis-RT is SF's biggest need because Snyder and Pashos were atrocious last year.

2nd Round

49th pick-Jahvid Best-local product and the 49ers need a return man to get some good yardage on those punt/kick returns. Maybe he could even be a change of pace back when Gore needs some water or a breather.

3rd Round

79th pick-Jon Asamoah, G from Illinois- All these mock drafts mention Baas' injury and consistency, but Rachal has been terrible and I think Rachal is the weakest link on the OL besides RT. the entire right side needs a tuneup IMO.

4th Round

110th pick-Myron Rolle, SS, Florida State-All you need to read is MARK ROMAN and MICHAEL LEWIS. It always helps to draft a player who went to Oxford for a year too.

5th Round

49ers should take a shot at a proven WR in college to bolster their receiving corps since Battle departed for Pittsburgh.

6th Round

Draft a pass rusher since the 49ers have issues with that area. Would be nice to get to the QB and cause pressure.

7th Round

Just draft best talent available since its the 7th round.

[GS Warriors 1]

1st Round:

- Joe Haden - Didn't run a good 40 but he was a possible top 7 pick before that and he'll fall into the teens. Impressive whenever I saw Florida.

- Trent Williams- More comfortable at RT than LT and they need a starter.

2nd round:

- Jerry Hughes, 3-4 OLB, TCU - A bit undersized but he's better suited at 3-4 OLB. You can never have too many pass rushers and I think the 49ers will add one in the first 3 rounds.

3rd round:

- Mike Johnson, LG, Alabama - If the 49ers are changing to a ZBS, then I think this is a great fit.

4th round:

- Joe McKnight, RB, USC - Speed back, good size, and not too many miles in college. I think this is great value.

The rest: FS Robert Johnson(Utah - 5th), NT Jay Ross(East Carolina - 6th), RS/WR Brandon Banks(Kansas St. - 7th), pass rusher or OL with the 7th rd comp pick.

I would be ecstatic if Joe Haden falls to us.

I would be ecstatic if Joe Haden falls to us.

All the scouts and GMs get so **** over the 40 time and fail to look at Haden's great career at Florida. He was a 4 year starter at Florida in the arguably the toughest conference in college football. That should be enough for any team who needs a CB to get him in their secondary.

[thesack12]

Risdon's latest mock has Tebow @ 17

That would be an absolute waste of a 1st round pick. EWWWWWWWE, YUCK

If that happens, they may as well just cut Nate Davis

I saw that this morning too and I don't think that would ever happen because the 49ers drafted Davis last year and they have Alex Smith under contract 1 more year. They can address more glaring needs like RT and the secondary in the early rounds. Tebow can't even throw. YUCK IS RIGHT!!!

[and1GS]

I'm not sure Haden will fall to us FWIW. What do we do if that happens? I suppose go OL earlier and then take either Kindle or Pierre-Paul with our second pick.

[thesack12]

If Haden is off the board @ 13 (hope like he is still there), they could go any number of directions. If available Spiller, Mclain, Bryant, or Pierre-Paul would all be in the conversation as BPA. Lots of OLineman are possibilities: Davis, Campbell, Bulaga, Williams, Iupati. They could go for positional need with Earl Thomas or a pass rusher in Derrick Morgan. Perhaps they look @ DT with Price or Dan Williams cuz Aubrayo is on the tag and only tendered for one year.

If Haden is off the board @13, and Clausen somehow falls that far I could see a team trying to trade into #13. That would be one spot ahead of Seattle, who is looking for a long term replacement for Hasselbeck. That would still allow Frisco to grab a quality player who can help @17, and pick up additional early picks to boot.

Just no Tim Tebow in the 1st

[ahonui06]

I prefer the Frenchman personally.
