Per WF, we were very interested in him. But thanks for the feedback brother!

I'd love us to gets Latavius Murray and have him take over the role Delanie's role. Kid is 6'3 225 lbs.

Nice work! I like that you took private workouts into account. That gives us a clue which specific players or positions the team is interested in, especially if they were invited to Santa Clara.

I like taking two safeties in the draft, though I don't particularly care for Reid. I'd rather have Cyprien, but that's just personal preference. Like you, I don't watch much college football. I have seen quite a few Stanford games, so I love Ertz.

John Jenkins has a nice motor for a man his size. I love Tyrann Mathieu as a slot corner and special teams dynamo, whether it be returning or covering kicks. Don't know anything about the last 5 guys.

No Way Tank is still there at #61. It would be tough to think he would be there #34. He has a ton of buzz right now and is being talked about a lot right now. His interest Peaked at the right time.

Thanks bro! I went back and reviewed and it appears we had private workouts with Jonathan Cyprien as well so I'll add him with the caveat that I think it will be Reid first. Some of these players not only had private workouts but multiple looks by our coaching staff.

Here was the key used:
SR - Senior Bowl meeting.
EW - East-West Shrine meeting.
COM - Combine meeting.
INT - Interested.
VINT - Very Interested.
PRO - Pro Day meeting.
PRI - Private Workout.
% - indicates more than one meeting.
# - indicates meeting set up outside of the 2013 Senior Bowl or the 2013 East-West Shrine Game

I hear you, hence why I first had John Jenkins. That's more realistic. That said, nobody thought Coby Fleener would fall to us last year either so it's plausible esp. if there is a monster run on OL's and late QB's.

I dont think john jenkins makes it to 61. In my mock I have the niners taking jenkins at 34.

I also dont think cyprien makes it to 31. I think we move up ten spots to nab cyprien. I dont like reids pass coverage so id pass on him.

The thing I'm surest about in this draft is that we ain't drafting Zach Ertz.

OK, so I'll be honest, I don't watch, let alone care about college football...until these boys become 49ers and are ready to become men/professionals. That said, I thought I'd have a little fun with you all, NCommand-style. Given that this process is clearly not a science and that we have no clue how Baalke's big board will look, I decided to take a completely different approach than most. I reviewed the private workouts we had with college players and developed picks from that board with the help of AB's big board (sorry MadDog, I didn't see your latest edition). I didn't allow for any trades. But I do anticipate some (most likely in the back end to move up into the 3rd and 4th rounds and or stockpile picks for next year).

We looked at 7 S's and 6 CB's. We also looked at 5 TE, WR, DL & OL's. We looked at 2 LB & RB's. I'd say this layout is EXACTLY what we'd expect.

So here it goes:
31 Eric Reid, S, LSU or Jonathan Cyprien, S, Florida International
34 Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
61 John Jenkins, DL, Georgia or Tank Carradine, DL, Florida State
74 Robert Woods, WR, USC
93 Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU
128 Josh Evans, S, Florida
131 Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State
157 David Quessenberry, OL, San Jose State
173 Luke Marquardt, OL, Azusa Pacific
180 Tyrone Goard, WR, Eastern Kentucky
237 Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose State
246 Latavius Murray, RB, Central Florida
252 Zach Line, RB, SMU

To keep perspective: "How many players do you personally interview before the draft?" I asked him. "Either at the combine in Indianapolis with your staff, or during one-on-one visits here at the facility, or at pro days?" Baalke did the calculations in his head. "It's probably 120 to 150 players," he said.

Are you yelling at me? Haha.
RB's are always taken...QB's as well. Developmental and for Special Teams reasons. Best player available will dictate. If Carradine is there, we'll nab him. Cyprien might be the pick as well. expect a big run on OL and esp. QB's late 1st/early 2nd so it's going to push many of these gys down to the 2nd round. We'll see some surprises for sure.

LOL, I know right!? That said, perhaps we didn't pick up Fleener last year b/c we liked this crop of TE's better and what better fit than Ertz who can start right out of the gate? We're getting a TE no doubt though...may not be Ertz though. But this coaching staff doesn't make the same mistake twice. So we'll see...

Interesting perspective on the draft. I would lose it if we could get Tank at 61, but his projections are all over the board. I have seen late 2/early 3, but I have seen mid/late 1 much more frequently. There is soo much good talent in this draft that it should have a lot of surprises. I'm not going to be very productive at work today...
