Final, Sealed and Delivered Complete 2-round mock draft

I appreciate the effort, and could live with it, but I would be disappointed. Worthy is a good DL, but we don't need to be passing up on Fleener and Jeffery for a DL. Randle is excellent value in rd 2. I'd be okay... but again.. disappointed.

I stewed over this one. When 30 came around, Worthy is there as the Best Player Available by far. He might by the only guy -- along with Fletcher Cox, who can play any position on a 3-4 defensive line (LDE, RDE, NT) -- and start. Most likely, he doesn't make it past Pittsburgh, but if he falls he's the steal.

On Randle, how can you be disappointed with him at #61?
Not a fan of Worthy at 30. We can find d-line depth later in the rounds... but I want value we can utilize from Day 1 in the 1st round (AKA RG, WR, Fleener)

Martin falls to 32! Wow!

I also think Minnesota derps and takes Caliborne @ #3

1. Worthy can START at any position on the D-Line, has the potential to be better than Macdonald or Soap, and Justin Smith is not going to play forever at the current level

2. Martin is falling on everyone's board

3. Everyone acknowledges that Claiborne is not better than Patrick Peterson from last year -- his teammate. so why would you take him at #3? Kalil anchors LT for a decade. But Minny is ran by morons now, so anything is possible.

Well, like I said... Randle's great value there, so no disappointment from that pick.

Sorry - misread. Here is who was available at the pick the Niners could take instead -- who would you have taken?

Jerel Worthy, DT, Mich State
Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC
Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
Janoris Jenkins, CB, N Alabama
Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
Amini Silatolu, OG, Midwestern State
Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
Josh Robinson, CB, UCF

I would have gone with the bolded ones... particularly the underlined bolded. I am one that has a whole lot of faith in our DL and depth DL though.
Jerel Worthy is a monster and I could live with this. In fact it would be pretty sweet. Like sticking with defense in round 1. I believe thats where the best value will be towards the end of the round anyway.

Anyone thinking Worthy would not be utilized day one is under valuing him as a player. I believe he gets in the rotation day one spelling everyone on the line. As someone else pointed out he can play any position on the D line. Love it! We have to make sure this defense remains dominant!

I'm not knocking the pick, I just don't like the situation. I will trust any direction the FO goes - I just want offense with our first pick. It's our weakness and we need to address it.

I do not trust them if they take Wright.

I think people are overlooking how much RJF contributes and how highly regarded he is by the coaches.
