49erInTheMidwest's mock draft

I could be down with this

"Thanks for the road map" - webzone mock draft participants.

Great mock. Could be better with a different pick at 2, but not everyone gets everything exactly right.

A lot of names I like, some I didn't know (nice 7th round find).

Love the Mack pick. Edge at 34 is the way to go. I've cooled on Peterman, but the risk/reward is great at 4.

Nice job

thanks fellas. Haha, I know Lobo, you want Hooker , but I like our current safeties. If this were our draft, the latter half is gold and full of potential.

I know who Midwest is targeting in the third round of the webzine mock!

HA! He's been my want, unless mahomes somehow gets to us if I miss him, I miss him.. I've a got a late round QB or 2 with potential I really like late
We'll see though

Nice mock. Like Rivers & Douglas for the defense

Very nice mock for the defense with the pass rushers at the top and help for the Back 7 later. Guess the only need that wouldn't be filled with this draft is for a backup NT to Earl Mitchell. If that's the worst thing that happens, so be it. Love the additional help for the offense too in Mack and Hikutini. Don't get why most Zoners think we "set" at TE. Well done.

Really nice draft Mid. Love your research on the back end there finding those gems. I may steal your 6th and 7th rounders for my own mock. LOL j/k

Go for it, support for these guys needs to grow! Especially Krishawn Hogan

Okay biggie. I really like it, but I'd love to see some pass rush ability from our drafted SAM that actually can be a 3rd down rusher in 2018... I'm getting a lil picky I know lol. I'd like to flop the Mack and Harris, and use a 6th to package with our 4th round comp pick to try and get someone like Ryan Anderson? Or let me ask this, what SAM with pass rush ability do you rank ahead of Connor and where do you have them going?

well, Connor Harris isn't your rusher from the SAM spot, he's your stack: Solid run stopper, solid in the pass game -- honestly, I think he could start day one.. but he isn't an every down guy.. This is where you bring in Eli Harold, or one of the other capable guys on our squad. Maybe, a guy like Josh Carraway from TCU? Rivers would be very capable of it if you want to play Solomon at LEO and slide AA or someone else into the DL with Buck.. There's a lot of depth in the d line, especially when they only have to be 1 down specialists. I think a guy like Keionta Davis could come in and play SAM in the Nickel look. A guy who's intensity and potential I REALLY like for the spot?? - Vince Beigel from Wisconsin, especially if he can fill out his frame a little bit more, guy's an animal. To answer who's ahead of Connor and where, I think that a lot of guys can do it.. nice frame with nice pass rush skills.. so that leaves it open for 3-4 OLBs, 4-3 DEs, and 4-3 OLBs.. It's just about preference. I think with the Thomas and Rivers picks it adds enough versatility to the line that you can move a lot of guys on the DL around.. The reason I took Harris is because I don't really like the guys we have for a base 4-3 SAM on our team right now.. and like I said, I could see Harris becoming a Zach Thomas type LB in this league.

I like the possibility of trading, but only if we move from #2 and add more picks.. we need a lot of help.. this class has some diamonds in the rough, especially in the mid rounds

The first 3 picks are flawless... and would be the exact same for me, had I made a SF mock.

The Marlon Mack pick is another favorite, for me. The ideal day 2 running back for me.

Douglas is a solid and realistic option for rd 4. Had you chosen Brian Allen from Utah, I'd insist you tell me your parents' names.. for interest in whether we were separated twins.

Yeah, no way, on Harris being the SAM. He would have to be the Mike, and perhaps only the backup Mike. Love this type of LB from the old days, and as a college player, but he will struggle to make an impact at anything other than phone-booth tackling in the pros.

The rest is ok.. even a a player or two to better dig into. Most of the picks mentioned though, make this a great success, imo.

I like it, but I am convinced that some folks are overrating Thomas. I love him as an undersized inside defensive tackle, but this idea that he can play everywhere is bunk. He barely played on the edge at all, and when he did, he didn't look nearly as good. We need and edge pass rusher, not a logjam at DT. Still wouldn't b***h if it went that way though. Maybe we'll get lucky and the Browns will take Trubisky with the first pick.

I almost put Brian Allen, that's wild


Yeah, I really like Connor Harris, but after hearing more about our SAM's role I'm not sure he'/ the pick.. more pressing needs.

I'm gonna post a mock 2.0 w/o Thomas @ 2, and a different SAM, maybe a couple other things also eventually

I also saw Fish Smithson as high as the #100 player today!

Krishawn Hogan is going to be a starter at some point this season, just my opinion
