If we do trade down we'll likely have two 2nd rounders. Happy either way.
Of those 7, Peterson is our dream choice, but, in all likelihood, he and Miller won't be around. I certainly hope we don't take one of the top two WRs with other such glaring needs. And, simply put, I don't have much faith in Gabbert (no pro-style exp.) or Quinn (suspension / health). Just look at all the bust pass-rushers selected in the 1st round / high 2nd round from the past few years and I feel queasy about us selecting someone with such glaring concerns at 7. We need to hit a homerun with a top-ten pick, so Prince would be my choice, but it'd be a slight reach.
With us landing our dream coaching personnel (Harbaugh & Co.), I have this sick feeling that something will go wrong and the draft is gonna go:
CAR - Dareus
DEN - Peterson
BUF - Miller
CIN - A.J. Green
ARI - Gabbert
CLE - Jones
SF - ???
TEN - Fairly
DAL- Castonzo
WASH - Newton
If it went down like this, I would pray that we would take Prince and NOT trade out of that spot with Houston and end up selecting one of the remaining, highly-rated pass-rushers - Quinn, Jordan, Kerrigan, Watt, Bowers, Smith.
If not Peterson, then
Prince or BUST!!!
