i like the late round selection of Devlin, what I've heard & read on him sounds pretty good (with some saying he could be a starter). Our first rounder I cant see us taking anything other than a QB/CB though

1) Nick Fairley DT/DE Auburn 6'4 290
-Simply put, he's a beast! If Stanford had this guy, they would of beat Oregon too.

2) Justin Houston OLB Georgia 6'3 270
- Can we get some pass rush finally!

3) Kenrick Ellis NT Hampton 6'5 345
- big boy racked up 145 tackles 30 TFL and 3.5 sacks. Quick for a huge man

4) Curtis Marsh CB Utah State 6'1 197
-Lanky, fast (4.42 40 yard dash), and raw (played running back first, only 2 years at CB) his best football is in front of him

4) Buster Skrine CB Chattanooga 5'10 185
-Speed DB (4.37) who was a team leader and 2 time all conference

5) Pat Devlin QB Delaware 6'3 225
-Career continues to mirror that of Flacco. Flacco drafter by Harbaugh, now Devlin is drafted by Harbaugh

6) Owen Marecic FB Stanford 6'1 248
- While he probably deserves better, FBs don't get drafted before the 5 if at all.

6) Da' Rel Scott RB Maryland 5'11 211
- Fast and explosive change of pace back

7) Weslye Saunders TE South Carolina 6'5 270
- Harbaugh likes big TEs

7) Andre Holmes WR Hillside 6'4 210
- quick and a big target. Dominated his competition so now it's time to shine on stage

With more pressure our CBs don't need to cover as long and the unit will improve drastically!!
That's why I concentrated on pressure over coverage in the first 3 rounds.

As for QBs, outside of Newton, they're nothing special! None stand out to me, I'd rather take Devlin late (who if he was having a better offseason would jump way up) and pick up Jerrod Johnson as a UDFA and sign Alex Smith or trade for a solid vet

reverse that... without corners the pass rush wont have enough time to get to the qb.... plus our pass rush was better than our secondary... fact. so we need a corner ealier definetely
