I agree we need depth but the one person we have to draft is D Hopkins

49ers should totally get Sheldon Richardson too, he's the DE they need, I'm ok with using a late 2nd round pick on him....oh yeah, and Marcus Trufant in the 3rd round as well, all of those guys.

... He's a Kicker so I don't understand your sarcasm.

I was assuming he meant Deandre Hopkins of Clemson, because anything more than a 6th round for Dustin Hopkins is utterly ludicrous.

I don't know about "utterly ludicrous". Not ideal to use a 4th on a kicker, but don't be shocked if the kickers come off the board in Round 4 or 5. The Jags used a 3rd on a punter last year, and the success of other rookie kickers will start to increase the premium placed on the position in the draft.

I wouldn't use a 4th BUT a 5th would be acceptable for a guy who can win close games for 10+ years.

I agree. He will be taken by the 5th. You want to draft guys who can make an impact. He will make an impact from day one and will win games for us right away. Pretty solid choice in my view.

I think the Niners would use one of two 5th round picks on him if they have already addressed their most pressing needs at d line, WR, and in the secondary.
