Any FS, CB, WR, NT, TE, DE, SS (if they planned on cutting whitner but doubt it)
Trading Back or Up
Giving the pick up for a 1st next year
What would shock me at 31/34:
OLB - Unless we are gearing up to replace Haralson after this year although not sure where he would fit with 4 OLBs Brooks, Aldon, Parys, Fleming/Johnson. Would mean either 5 OLB's or Fleming is gone. Don't see Haralson being cut this year.
RB - I think we have a few years of Gore left and after that Hunter and James could carry the load. Maybe next year but not this year.
OL - Unless they plan on cutting Goodwin and they don't think Looney/Kilgore are the answer. 3rd Tackle is the only need I see other than that.
Then the obvious QB, ILB, T, G, K, P, FB, etc
Players that I could see as surprise choices at 31 or 34:
WR's - Allen, Patton, Hopkins, etc | All but Jenkins and Crabtree are FA's after this year
OLB's - Collins, Carradine, Moore, Okafor | Replace Haralson after this year. Maybe not confident in Fleming or Johnson.
NT - Hankins, Jessie Williams | Don't see it happening; as little as we use a NT Dorsey and Ian can get the job done.
FS - Reach for Reid, Rambo or Thomas | Guys like Cyprien, Elam, Swearinger seem more like SS to me.
SS - Cyprien, Elam, Swearinger, etc | Maybe not at 31/34 but someone to replace Whitner after this year. Draft is loaded with SS's.

I have absoloutley no idea who we are gong to draft. Did anyone get it either AJ Jenkins or Lamichael last year or even Aldon and Kapernick the year before?
I got Jenkins and Lamichael in the pickem last year. I introduced Kaepernick when everyone was talking about Locker (mainly just because I thought Locker was vastly overrated). This year..
Damontre Moore, DE/OLB Texas A&M
He's one of the top pass rushers coming out and was once considered a top pick. He has good patience and excels with stunts. That's the key to Aldon's success. He has a good motor, a long frame, and a quick first step.
We looked at Irvin last year, so the team isn't against spending a high pick on a pass rusher. Plus, why else would we talk to Luke Joeckel? Luke faced this guy in practice on a daily basis. He knows his skills better than anyone.
Similarlly, I think that's why we're talking to Elam's teammate. Baalke wants to know who was really the captain of UF's defense.

Agree...love Strickac's post above for this very reason on Damontre Moore, DE/OLB Texas A&M. I believe there is a post on this but you'll have to sift through a lot of pages. Maybe the OP can redo the first page with all the edits like I do in the Team Needs post? http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl-draft/172550-list-college-players-who-visiting-49ers/
I thought there was an official post out there that was even more inclusive.
