SFOUT's very early mock

Some of those picks are a bit optimistic. If Sutton doesn't return to ASU, its because he thinks he can get drafted in the 1st round...and he definitely can. I think the 49ers might have a decent shot at him with their 1st round pick but he could go before that even. He's a guy who has been tremendously impressive and I see him shooting up draft boards even further after the Combine. I also don't see Geathers falling that far back, his size alone will get him drafted before the end of the 4th round.

I mean, if the draft went down exactly like that, to me that would be an insanely successful draft but realistically some of those guys just won't be there.

Yep this is definitely a wishful thinking / IDGAF kind of mock. Which I say is okay since we have no idea who is declaring.

Nice mock if it fell that way.

yea I know were going to trade all over the place so there is no way we actually use all 14 of our picks so if every junior I want declared I would hope it would end up this way lol.

So we let our starting NT walk, but no replacement for him until the 5th round.

based on all of the chatter from the local media they are insinuating that RJF is going to get a crack at the starting NT spot. I dont like it but its what I went with.

would love it to fall this way!!

But we may have to package 2 of our thirds with a first and the 2nd to get the 1st 2 guys on your list but still would love that if we could still get the TE with the comp pick in rd 3.

We all know that its gonna be tought to crack our lineup in the next few years so I say package picks and move up to target a starter for us or move back like the Pats and keep collecting picks for future drafts.

You see us trading up from 32 to 29?

optimism is nice but I was simply going off of our current standing in the draft order.

I would love it too but as I said this is my super early/wishful thinking mock with no knowledge of who is declaring and no trades ^_^

lololol

in a serious note SDN did you see my bit of news in the prospects thread? HC Graham thinks Sutton is going back to school but if here hears positive news from the advisory board he is prepared to see him go pro. I think he'll be told he be a top 45 pick which is why I mocked him in the 2nd because I think he'll slide a bit as he has some injuries.

Gotta add a center in there somewhere

Based on what I've read from local media over the course of this season is that Kilgore is still on track as the "center of the future" and Looney is also learning how to play Center along with his duties as Guard.

but most mocks have us taking Khaled Holmes from USC with our first 3rd rounder if we do take a center, which I'd be fine with but Holmes has had some terrible snaps this year so last thing we need is more low snaps for Kaepernick.....

Have you considered the possiblity that we could trade Alex for yet another third? ( just my opinion as to what he is worth..everyone varies)

Also if you dont resign Goldson there is a healthy amount of money out there doing nothing....do you target a free agent? Maybe take Soap of RJF?

I like most think your being quite optomistic, but why not its early and hope springs eternal.....

Also I agree with Lamont..need a true center in the pipe there is no certainty that Kilgore will pan out.
