DMB's Pre-Combine Mock Plan

PLAYOFFS!!!!!

I like it a lot. Graham+Wilson+Ward would push our D over the top. That'd be sick. Absolutely sick. Big fan of Decker too, who is probably a 2nd round talent you can have in the 4th or so because of his foot injury. I like Charles Brown alot too. Great job man.

Two things:

1) Good call on free agency.
2) Hate the trade down and the pick of Brown. Would rather take Bulaga to solve our need rather then give the Lions a gift.

I hear yah regarding the trade down. In terms of a RT though, while Bulaga may be a bit more NFL ready, I think both of them will be on par with each other once fully developed.

I like most of the players in the mock. I just dont like mocks that project trades that arent going to happen.

I kind of feel that way too. Although I like who he picks up with the Lions picks. But I'm thinking it may be worth it to trade back into the 2nd and give up next years first to do that...

That's basically what a mock is though. A generated list of ideas that will meet the needs of a team at the highest level of the creator's opinion.

Who knew that we would trade with the Panthers? Or trade up to get Staley or Lawson? If people suggested that in the mocks at the time, you would say the same thing - no?

I am not saying your wrong, but there is reason why they may want to trade up...

See I'm the exact opposite. I love the idea of trading back and getting the extra 2nd rounder. I want as many picks in the top 3 rounds as we can get. Because there's more guys with 1st round talent in this draft than there are 1st round picks, that pushes guys who would be pegged as 2nd rounders back into the 3rd. There's a log jam of really talented players in the top 3 rounds who are similar to eachother. I don't think there's a huge gap between Bulaga or Williams and Brown honestly. So to get Brown in the 2nd, and get another pick like a TJ Ward who could team with Goldson at safety for the next few years, that's tremendous value. I love the idea of trading back and I have for a while now after seeing how many good players entered the draft and there was an already talented senior class.

The trade kind of ruins it for me.

Why???? The trade is the best part IMO.

Its cool if you like making a mock with trades. I just dont like them because the chances of a trade actually happening like the mock is set up is almost nil. I would much rather just have mocks that project players for the spots we actually have. Just my preference.

I do too! This would be a nice draft for the 49ers!

Personally I don't think this is a year we trade down/stockpile. We're not building for the future anymore. This next season should be built for a playoff run. I'd rather have two potential starters with our first 2 picks vs. getting quality depth.
