My Dream Mock Draft.... Please Grade!!

Ok, after giving it much thought and watching some film (youtube clips), I think I've came up with my Dream mock draft... now i'm not saying this is going to be what happens. I'm just saying if our draft went this way..... I would be very happy!! Normally after each pick I would explain why I like that person at that position but this time i'm just gonna do it all at the end.... BTW, I'm using CBS Sportsline to look at all the Rd projections and read ups.... Here it goes!!

1st Rd- Pick #7- A.J. Green WR Georgia 6'4 212

2nd Rd- Pick #45- Christian Ponder QB Florida State 6-2 222

3rd Rd- Pick #76- Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia 6-2 200

4th Rd- Pick #107- Owen Marecic FB Stanford 6-0 246

4th Rd- Pick #114- Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh 6-5 270

5th Rd- Pick #138- Sione Fua DT Stanford 6-2 307

6th Rd- Pick #169- Dion Lewis RB Pittsburgh 5-07 195

6th Rd- Pick #185- Justin Boren OG Ohio State 6-3 320

7th rd- Pick #199- Ugo Chinasa DE Oklahoma State 6-5 254

7th rd- Pick#200- Eric Hagg FS Nebraska 6-1 206

Ok, now let me explain myself. Pick 1- I know we don't need a WR however, after thinking about the AJ Green/Michael Crabtree combo I couldn't help but get very excited. That has to be as close to Fitz/Boldin as anyone could get. Fitz/Boldin/Warner basically lead Arizona to a Super Bowl b/c of their passing game. Now take Fitz/Boldin and add in Vernon Davis and Frank Gore. That's what we could have in 2-3 years. That my fellow Niner Faithful is SCARY!! We let Ponder who 1. comes from a pro style offense (so we don't have to spend time teaching him how to take a snap from center or drop back) 2. is very intelligent/accurate and athletic, sit and learn for a year or 2 behind a veteran and by the time he is ready to take over the team. We could have a team around him like Aaron Rodgers had when he took over Green Bay (if not better). Rd 3 Dowling- We get our #1 CB who is big enough to battle with the tall guys and also fast enough to run with the speedy guys (runs a 4.5 40) I honestly believe Clements will not take the pay cut we are going to ask him to take so we are going to need to draft a CB high. Rd 4a Marecic - This is a guy I believe in every draft we do (fake, dream, real) we need to target. For 3 very important reasons. 1. We need to upgrade and get younger at the FB position (check) 2. We need someone that could step into Michael Robinson's shoes on ST's and be the leader (check) 3. And most importantly... He played last year for Coach Harbaugh's offense AND defense. Which means he's going to know both pretty much inside and out. Now I know it's not going to be the exact systems they ran at Stanford but it should be pretty close. I believe he can come in and really be a coach on the field and help teach on both sides of the ball. That could be HUUUUUUUUUGE if we have a strike shortened off season. 4b Romeus - Could be our steal of the draft if we can keep him healthy. Is a very good pass rusher when on the field. Put him on the opposite side of Smith and we could have a very dominate line. 5 Fua- No brainer. Don't believe Franklin will be back with us so Harbaugh/Fangio get their DT to groom. 6a Lewis- Coming into this year he was a Heisman candidate. Runs a 4.5 which isn't blazing however could grow with this offense along w/ Dixon. I personally would like to see us draft a speedy back instead of a back like the 2 we already have however the only speedy back that has a rd 6 grade is Noel Devine and I just don't think he will hold up in the NFL. Not to mention is says he has a rd 6 grade and dropping. 6b Boren- Could push Chilo from Day 1 (hopefully) has a nasty streak that I believe we need on our line. 7a Chinasa- Another pass rush specialist. We need so many i'm taking the pick enough of them and hopefully 1 works out plan. CBS reads "Chinasa's game film suggests he could be one of the top defensive end prospects in this year's draft. One of his biggest weaknesses, however, is his inconsistent motor. If he can find a way to bring this same intensity on every play he could be a real contributor in the NFL." I'll try it in Rd. 7. 7b Hagg- We may lose a safety or 2 this year and he could be a developmental player. Again CBS says "Although he's not suited for consistent man coverage, he possesses excellent range and the size necessary to track down and win jump balls as a centerfielder at the next level."

Well, There ya have it. I know it's a lot to read but tell me what ya think.... I honestly would be extremely happy if this draft fell in our laps. Please, Let me know what you think..........

Not bad, I'd still rather go for a super elite pass rusher or cb with the first, but green+crabtree+davis means whatever QB we get has absolutely zero excuses. The scheming possibilities would be great especially if we could also get marecic(I'm afraid he's going to move up the draft board at the combine but oh well).

I'm betting a bunch of your mid round picks are going to move up, others will move down. But that happens.

It happens if harbaugh feels that he can coach up a guy like ponder, and feels like giving smith a shiny new toy in the meantime. It doesn't happen if he looks at the film and thinks morgan wasn't given a fair chance to succeed, and crabtree's better than he looks.

It kinda leaves all of those defensive issues for later rounds/FA, but fangio's a genius right? No shiny new toy for him? :(

Yea there's definately a lot of what if's and like you said, it's still only day 1 of the combine. Like I stated I only went off of CBS sportsline as to the projected rds. As for no Shiny new toys for Fangio I went 1-CB, 2-DE, 1-DT (his own DT) and a FS. I know none of them are super studs but with taking Green in the 1st I really wanted to put Jimmy Smith in at 2nd and Ponder in at 3rd. The only problem is with Ponder's showing at the Senior Bowl he's moved up to a solid 2nd rd. pick now and we all know this year we NEED to try and draft our QB of the future.

Now that I look at the draft it actually played out to be 5- Offensive players and 5- Defensive players. Not bad, I didn't mean to do that but it's pretty cool. I honestly think Crabtree can be a #1 the only problem is I think him and Morgan are too similiar to be an effective 1-2 punch. Let's face it Fitz/Boldin were both #1's we saw that this year w/ Boldin moving to Balt and the year he had. I think Morgan would benefit and actually be a stud in the slot as the #3 WR. Then we wouldn't have to count on Ginn Jr. to try and stretch the field only to have him over thrown or drop the ball. We could just let him consentrate on kick/punt returning.

Like I said, this is my dream mock, I honestly don't think Green will make it past the Bengals @ pick 4 but one can dream can't I? Lol Also, as for your super star pass rusher or elite CB. I really want to go Prince w/ our 1st pick, I think Peterson and Von Miller will be gone so my realistic 1st rd pick would be Prince then pray Baldwin from Pitt falls to Rd 3 and we can grab him after Ponder (who I really like as our future WCO QB, I think he's perfect for that type of offense). I guess that would be my NEXT dream (and more likely) scenario. I just thought it would be awesome to thing of Green/Crabtree on the outside, Morgan in the slot, Davis as the TE and our Trio of Gore/Dixon/Dion Lewis at RB. Sign someone like Donovan McNabb who is a WCO QB to teach Ponder for a year or two. Man that would be a scary offense.

AJ Green in the first would be a questionable pick. We took at WR in the top 10 the year before last. We do not have any QB to get these WRs the ball. We having glaring needs at CB and pass rusher and you are passing up great players at these positions. Could work out big time and be an explosive offense if we get a WCO QB who can make it all work. But say under your scenario, hypothetically, that Ponder fails to develop. Green could be unproductive and frustrated without a QB (as it looks like Crabtree is getting).

I don't like Ponder in the 2nd. I'm in the minority here most of the Zone does. But I think if you're passing on a first round QB then you might as well wait because the draft class at QB is deep. Think of it this way, which is more valuable: Ponder and a 6th round pick or McElroy and a 2nd round pick? I'd rather have McElroy and a 2nd round pick. If we draft a QB late we can use that 2nd rounder a solid defender.

Dion Lewis is not NFL material. The rest of the picks are solid, but when the top picks are questionable it's hard to get past a C. Not the draft I'm hoping for. Some good stuff though. I think most of the Zone would be really happy with it.

We don't agree on the QB position. B/C honestly I'd rather have Ponder and a 6th then McElroy who I don't think will be anything but a backup in the NFL and a 2nd. We NEED to find our QB of the future and if Harbaugh is going to tie his coaching regime to the WCO and the top 2 QB's come from the spread (newton and gabbert) then to me that makes Ponder our #1 QB. Way to early to take him in the first but anywhere pass the 2nd and we miss him. Now you say the top is questionable however the 2 most NFL ready players in this years draft according to the "experts" are Patrick Peterson and AJ Green. So to me taking anyone other then them is questionable. Von Miller's size is a question, Prince's speed is a question, Quinn's been out of football for a year. I can go on and on. For you to say well if Ponder don't work then Green may not be as productive. Well you can say that about any QB. Say McElroy doesn't develop and we take a pass rusher (Von Miller) our team is still screwed b/c we don't have a QB. AJ Green is the best WR prospect to come out since Calvin Johnson and look what he's done w/ Shaun Hill (remember him?) and Drew Stanton. Don't get me wrong he didn't come in and set the world on fire but thats why I said in 2-3 years... WOW!! On the other hand thank you for your opinion and the grade. It's cool to hear everyone's thoughts...

Something I think is very funny. If you look at Michael Crabtree's profile for the 2009 draft.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/historical/1125838

It says point blank-- Compares To: ANQUAN BOLDIN, Arizona -- Like Boldin, Crabtree is a bit of a long strider, but has good field savvy to gain separation. He is a bit slower in his release than one would like, but uses his body well to break tackles. He is used mostly on slants, but has the ability to gain lots of real estate after the catch. His recent foot surgery is going to be a concern, but without that problem, is there any doubt that he would have been the best draft prospect in 2009?

Like I said, closest you can get to Fitz/Boldin as possible!!

I give it a B.

I heard a Bill Walsh quote the other day that made a lot of sense to me. He said, "you don't go get your receiver until you have all the other pieces in place."

If Green is still there at #7 and Von Miller, Quinn and Peterson are gone I kinda hope to trade down.

I actually heard that same quote and if you think about it, when they traded up to get Jerry Rice, they just won the Super Bowl. So they did have everything in place. I just think with a talent like AJ Green. It's tough to pass up. I'm tired of watching our offense stink for the past 8 years. I wanna get back to when a team saw us on their schedule they were scared!! Question for ya, if Green's there and we trade down what are you looking to get and where do you want to drop to?? Is there someone you would target?

i would rather have a CB or pass rusher at 7. but if he falls to 7 it will be hard to pass on him.

1st Rd- Pick #7- A.J. Green WR Georgia 6'4 212 (Dont know about everyone here, but I would rather trade down and draft Julio Jones since we're goin back to WCO

2nd Rd- Pick #45- Christian Ponder QB Florida State 6-2 222 - (cant argue)

3rd Rd- Pick #76- Ras-I Dowling CB Virginia 6-2 200 (cant argue)

4th Rd- Pick #107- Owen Marecic FB Stanford 6-0 246 - (i really am expecting this pick)

4th Rd- Pick #114- Greg Romeus DE Pittsburgh 6-5 270 (wow, someone else beside me did some homework)

5th Rd- Pick #138- Sione Fua DT Stanford 6-2 307 - (Harbaugh fallowed his heart on this one, but i kinda like the kid from Hampton more)

6th Rd- Pick #169- Dion Lewis RB Pittsburgh 5-07 195 [b](damnn, im beginning to think that we went to the same draft school)

6th Rd- Pick #185- Justin Boren OG Ohio State 6-3 320 - (wont argue)

7th rd- Pick #199- Ugo Chinasa DE Oklahoma State 6-5 254 - (best athlete available or best player available regardless of what position)

Thank you very much!! It's funny you bring up Julio Jones b/c he's kind of the lost WR in all this but if you look at the measurables I think he's an inch smaller and 7 lbs. lighter?? Or something like that. The problem is Alabama had such a good run game and such a good D that they weren't chucking the ball like most other schools. I'm really looking forward to watching Julio Jones today at the combine b/c your absolutely right, if the measurables mean anything we can trade down maybe 5-8 spots and get a player very similiar. The big problem with that is honestly for us to do that, Bowers, Fairley, Peterson, Dareus, Von Miller and Quinn would have to be gone for us to trade back b/c I honestly believe if any of them are there. We're going to take one of them. Actually, I forgot Prince so really if Prince and AJ Green are sitting there. I would like to trade back say 5 spots pick up an extra pick. Draft Julio Jones, then possibly trade our 3rd rd pick and the extra pick we get and come back up into the bottom of the 1st rd. and grab a Jimmy Smith? Love that idea!! Overall, thank you very much for the grade. It's nice to know i'm not crazy and someone else out there thinks my mock draft is on par with what we should go this year. Now, do you know anyone in the front office we can forward this to??

Nice mock!

Did everyone just see Christian Ponder run the 40? Mayock said he's gonna be a great West Coast QB and they even said, like a 49er West Coast QB?? and he said yes, like out in San Franciso. Me and Mike Mayock both think he's our future....

C+ Grade

You hit all the positions of need except NT IMO, but not in the right order.

Ponder, Dowling, Fua and Boren are dead on picks.

Like the fact you went with two pass rushers, but think that Von Miller, Robert Quinn, Patrick Peterson, or Prince early is much more likely than AJ Green. Would also love Brooks Reed if available in the 3rd.

I know Marecic is a fan favorite in the Zone, but there are other FB's out there who are bigger and stronger than him. The Niners could do better.

i like the draft a lot but befire i grade it i need to knowif we
a signed a cb through FA
b who is our qb next year (not for future as it should be ponder but fiuture)
c did we resign lawson
