Geek&#39;s Final Mock Plan

Geek's Final Mock Plan

GEEK · 2010-03-19T13:33:37-07:00

Free Agency - Barry Sims - OT *We need to resign him - pronto: 2 year, 6 M deal Gibril Wilson - S - Dolphins (cut) *An overrated player, but an upgrade over Mark Roman. Adds needed experienced depth in the secondary. NFL Draft - R1: Trent Williams - OT - Oklahoma Draftcountdown's take: R1: Kyle Wilson - CB/KR - Boise State NFL Draft Scout's Take: R2: Cam Thomas - NT - North Carolina NFL.com's Take: R3: Jacoby Ford - WR/KR - Clemson NFL.com's Take: R4: Daniel Te'o-Neshiem - DE/OLB - Washington NFL Draft Scout's Take: R5: Ciron Black - OT/OG - LSU Draft Countdown's Take: R6: Chris Brown - RB - Oklahoma *Competes for the #3 RB position with Michael Robinson. Secures depth and special teams talent. R7: Josh Hull - ILB - Penn State *Competes with Wilhem for the backup TED spot. Depth Chart - QB: Smith/Carr*/Davis - Carr poses an interesting threat to Smith. For sure we are moving towards a vertical style offense. RB: Gore/Coffee/Brown* FB: Norris/Robinson - I think our front office believes in Coffee. Brown is a SEC guy that could compete with Coffee for the #2 role. Gore is our core offensive player as usual. TE: Davis/Walker/Curtis* WR: Crabtree/Hill WR: Morgan/Jones WR: Ford* - With the addition of Ford and the recovery of Jones, we'll have more speed on the field. Ford provides a critical KR special teams role as well. LT: Staley/Sims LG: Baas/Black* OC: Heitmann/Wallace RG: Rachal/Wragge RT: Williams*/Snyder - Williams obviously fills a huge need for us. Black is drafted to add competition for Baas at LG. I expect Solari and Brown to provide a positive impact on Staley and Rachal to improve their play. LE: Smith/McDonald NT: Franklin/Thomas* RE: Sopoaga/Balmer - Thomas gets to learn the ropes at NT while Franklin starts. Provides an insurance and long-term solution at the position in 2010. The rest remains the same. OLB: Lawson/Brooks ILB: Willis/McKillop ILB: Spikes/Wilhem PS: Hull* OLB: Haralson/Teo*/Briggs - The main addition is Te'o-Neshiam from Washington. He can compete with Haralson in pre-season, as well as Briggs for a rotational spot. Secures depth at the position. CB: Clements/Brown/Paymah* CB: Spencer/Wilson* FS: Goldson/Wilson* SS: Lewis/Smith - Paymah, G. Wilson, and K. Wilson fortify a secondary preparing to make its step into the playoffs. The 49ers get younger and faster with these additions while keeping their core players in Spencer, Goldson, Clements, and Lewis. ST: Nedney, Lee, Jennings KR: Ford*, Robinson, K. Wilson*, and/or Coffee PR: K. Wilson*, Ford*, or B. Jones - We basically add two threats on special teams with Ford and Wilson, allowing for Robinson, Coffee, and Jones to concentrate on blocking.

the one thing I might switch is the 2nd and 4th rounders. I would like to see Hughes or Sapp in the 2nd at OLB and a back-up NT type in the 4th.

I like everything except the Round 2 pick. There's no way he gets past Buffalo, whose trying to build their 3-4. If he's there then take him, if not, I'd look for an OLB or safety.

Overall, very good job GEEK

I am assuming Buffalo is going to snag Dan Williams with their first round draft pick.

I don't anticipate Matthews being that far up on the draft board for the 49ers. Graham would be available, but let me pose this question for you:

Did our squad lose more games due to a lack of pass rush or due to poor special teams and secondary? Titans, Texans, and Vikings game can be blamed by secondary and special teams.

Don't get me wrong, I love Graham and I have stated on here that improving the pass rush improves the secondary. But the fact we are three deep at OLB and one, maybe two deep at CB and no real candidate for special teams made me go with Wilson over Graham.

Both will be good players, Wilson has more immediate value to the 49ers and allows Ahmed Brooks and, with my mock, Teo to establish depth and a rotation at OLB.

Not a fan of using a 1st round pick on a CB. Clements, Spencer, Brown, Bly/Harris and maybe a 3rd/4th round CB is fine by me

That would be a good draft. I don't mind the Wilson pick at all and Te'o-Neshiem could be a sleeper at OLB.

I like it. O-line and secondary help. And I think K.Wilson will be a real ball hawk. And J.Ford has PR/KR down. Playoffs

the niners would never take wilson at 17 that's too high....he is probably rated in the 20's on the niners and most other draft boards

So you think Wilson can be a starter this season?

I think he can beat out Brown for the #3 CB. With the injury problems that Spencer has and the inconsistency that Clements has, I wouldn't be surprised if he is a starter.

Will he beat out Spencer and Clements if they are healthy? I think Singletary will favor the vets over him.
