It's gonna be...

Agree with most on here. Its Prince.

Incredible leadership skills, athleticism, toughness, and performance without a good surrounding team,. Locker has the "it" that Harbaugh is looking for.

Harbaugh has enough self-confidence that he believes that he can develop Locker's pocket presence and the accuracy that goes with it. Harbaugh has seen and prepared for Locker for 4 yerrs in the Pac 10. He knows Locker's strengths, like few other NFL decision-makers, and is confident that he (Harbaugh) can correct Locker's perceived weaknesses.

In the late rounds, also look for them to pick up Tyrod Taylor of Va Tech.

Sorry, but even Bill Walsh was mortal. While Harbaugh will stablize and make our offense better and QB propects will be better. Let us not crown him a god yet. The fact that JH has seen Locker, he should know the kids weakness and if he can expose him, so can others, even with JH's help.

RobRang: Sources tell me the 49ers are split on whether to select UNC DE/OLB Robert Quinn or Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara.

Marcel Dareus, NT, Alabama

The 49ers are losing a key piece to their defense in NT Aubrayo Franklin. As such, it is paramount that they find an adequate replacement. The NT position is not one that requires only size. Rather, being a NT requires a strong knowledge of not only the technique of the position, but also of the game as a whole. According to Patrick Willis, Aubrayo was “the best nose in the game […] Nobody plays with better technique. Nobody knows the game better than he knows it."

Dareus might be the closest thing to a technician that this draft has to offer. According to Greg Cosell, the NFL Films Guru, “Dareus [is] athletic + physical. [He has] Quickness, speed […] deceptively explosive. Violent hands.” Rob Rang of CBS Sports notes that Darues is “Stout at the point of attack. Plays with good leverage and can anchor to create a pile. Cognizant defender who works hard to keep containment […] Won't shed the block until he reads where the ballcarrier is going.”

In short, Dareus is a Vince Wilfork/BJ Raji-type difference maker. Not only can he anchor the line, but he can also push the pocket. Though he may not be the speed rusher that most agree the 49ers need, he can be a type of player who creates opportunities for others. If he is on the board, the selection is a no-brainer.

i agree. being a Cougar i have a tough time rooting for a huskie, but the kid can play. that UW team was just awful. I have a feeling JH can get the most out of Locker.

Being a Cougar you should know that Jeff Tuel outplayed Locker in the Apple Cup. Let's draft Tuel instead

If peterson is gone then I feel it's a no brainer we take prince and the only qb we should be looking at is stanzi he's the most accurate and makes good decisions he's the most under rated qb coming out and should be ahead of alot of these qbs

If we like them both equally, then I think pass rush should always come first. Good defenses ALWAYS have a great pass rush, but not always great corners. Think of the Giants defense when they stole a Super Bowl a few years back with their pass rush.
If we like Quinn, we should get him, assuming we can't trade down.

Just hopefully the Cowboys don't take Prince first.

That's what I'm saying. Everyone talks about Dallas and an OT, but I doubt JJ would pass up Prince.
