McCloughan receives calls about spare offensive lineman
From Matt Maiocco's blog:
McCloughan said he's already received some calls about spare offensive linemen after the 49ers selected Staley in the first. No names were mentioned, but obviously Justin Smiley and Kwame Harris have contracts set to expire at the end of the season.
"We've fielded some (calls)," McCloughan said. "Once we get the through this minicamp and teams see the rosters in person, we'll probably field some more. (But) we're not forcing anybody out or trying to push anybody out. We feel very comfortable with having good football players on the offensive line. You can't start dealing guys because you have five you like. You need backups as well.
"If something happens now, it's because we win the trade and we get the compensation we want. We're not going to give anybody away."

49ers trade up for offensive lineman in mock draft
The San Francisco 49ers hold the No. 31 overall pick, but speculation abounds that they may seek to move before or during the first round of next week's NFL Draft. With the offensive line as a prime target for improvement and the position going mostly ignored in free agency, a strategic trade-up to acquire an impact player could be in the cards.
Alyssa Barbieri proposes such a scenario in her latest mock draft for USA Today's Touchdown Wire. Barbieri envisions the 49ers trading with the Miami Dolphins to move up 10 spots, selecting former Alabama offensive lineman JC Latham.
