However, many think that Dalton is a better prospect than Ponder and since so many teams need QB help this offseason (and because of the lack of a CBA, the draft will be even more important to teams this year), the Niners may have to reach a bit in the second if they want to make sure they get a QB they really like.
Also, with QB, CB, OLB, DE, S, and OG being pretty major needs right now for this team, drafting a RB in the third round seems highly unlikely. Let's remember the Niners got an excellent RB prospect (Dixon) in the sixth round last year. That is about where I would expect the team to take another RB this year.
Finally, don't rule out the possibility of the Niners going with an OLB or DE at number 7, even if the Prince is still there. This is an excellent draft year for 3-4 DEs and the Niners will probably need to use one of their first two picks on a QB. If the team got a stud pass rusher in the first round and then went with a QB in the second round, they could draft a CB in the third and sign a FA CB.... IMHO, that would be a great scenario for this team...
Keep putting out those mock drafts though....always entertaining and thought provoking....
