I really think we trade up to get this player. We have 2 3rd round picks I believe.
Jesus you guys are getting ridiculous now.
Now you want to trade UP to get him?
Pass-rusher is much, much more of a priority than CB. If the 49ers can get their hands one a premium pass-rusher, the entire defense becomes exponentially better. There are no QBs worth a 1st round pick, but there are certainly pass-rushers worth a 1st round pick. 49ers do not need a CB at #7. They just don't and more than likely, he wouldn't beat out the starters anyway.
Great point about CB as the second will be filled with them moving up from the third rounds like Carmichael and what's that kid's name, Burney from NC who went off today. I feel better about our QB position simply because Harbaugh is here and I know he can do wonders with less talent. I see one coming off the board in the third.
Therefore, pass rusher and LDE are very viable options at #7 with Miller, Quinn, Dareus and now Jordan. Anyone of those four guys will improve our pass rush dramatically whether on the line or as a backer. I really like Jordan as he reminds me of Richard Seymour especially the stamina, he just doesn't tire. And he can rush from the LDE providing more penetration than a normal 3-4 end.
Look at Tyson Jackson with KC. Who better, Jordan or Jackson? I digress...
I see we have some pretty solid pieces to use as our LDE in RJF, Soap, and McD so LDE may not be as pressing at #7.
I don't see a pure pass rushing OLB on our squad, no? Von would fit to a tee and Fangio could use him to create mismatches like Capers does with Matthews.
