Coordinated hands and feet. Is difficult to engage -- has quick, active paws. Can slap, rip and swim to beat blockers and turns up the heat on passing downs. Good foot athlete for his size -- changes direction well, gives effort in pursuit and ranges outside the box

61.Cody Latimer 6'2" 215lbs WR Indiana

Nice catch radius -- extends to snag throws off his body. Soft, dependable hands. Nice strength after the catch. Good blocker -- subdues cornerbacks, shields, stalks and sustains. Improved steadily over three years as a starter.

77.Jaylen Watkins 5'11" 194lbs DB Florida
Nice size for a cornerback. Good fluidity and movement skills. Alert in zones. Flashes some playmaking ability. Versatile -- lines up as a corner, safety and nickel defender and plays on all special teams.Played in 12 games and started in nine (three at cornerback and six at safety).

Very good size-speed ratio. Can win at the snap with his natural bend, hip flexibility and initial take-off quickness. Closes fast to the ball. Has NFL pedigree. Has seen action as a goal-line receiving threat and effortlessly adjusts to the ball. A gifted athlete with NFL pedigree and intriguing developmental tools as a speed rusher, Webster could prove to be better fit as a flex tight end in the pros, possessing more of an offensive temperament and the size, wingspan, athletic ability and coordination to create mismatches in a similar mold as Broncos TE Julius Thomas and Browns TE Jordan Cameron exiting college with limited football experience.

You traded 170, but have us taking someone with pick 170?

Sorry computer crashed and had saved part of it but not the other.Kind of hurried through the second half
I'll take that. I love Dennard and am warming up to the idea of taking Latimer in round two. The only thing is I'm not sure if Jernigan will be there at 38. Otherwise it looks good.

No worries. Nice mock. I like Jernigan, I think he goes higher, but he wouldn't be a bad pick if he falls. Overall an A+ Draft IMO.
If we end up with Dennard/Latimer/Thomas/Jerrigan, that'd be a home run overall (#1 CB, potential #1 WR, Jerrigan/Carradine pairing could be nasty for a few years, and Thomas could step in if Iupati were lost to FA and not lose a step).

But, don't see Jerrigan falling that far, but I would keep the trade and instead pick Stanley Jean-Baptiste. Since we got two top press CBs in Dennard/Baptiste, we can change Watkins (he is talented, and yes, we can change defenses towards talent, but feel he's more of a zone guy than man-to-man press, which we normally play) and at 77 we pick Martavius Bryant, WR from Clemson.

Bryant played in a short slant heavy offense, limiting his numbers in my opinion. But at 6'5 and 4.4 speed, could be our speed deep threat that opens the field.

I originally was going to question the Brown pick, but after researching more and looking up the Zone highlights, I like his ceiling more than Shayne Skov's (though he'd be more ready to step in to our defense and help with Bowman's loss). Could be another GREAT LB to add to our insane LB core.

One question: I don't know much about Isaiah Crowell, but why would he be a good fit? If we do select another RB to add to the core of Gore/Hunter/Lattimore, why pick Crowell over the likes of Storm Johnson or De'Anthony Thomas?

Overall, I liked your mock, great job
It's not too bad overall. A pretty nice mock.
Like the mock. Don't want to trade LMJ for next to nothing. He is a good KR and averages over 4 1/2 yds per carry when we give him a chance to carry the ball. Unless we get good compensation we might as well keep him and maybe even learn how to use him.

They'll let us do that won't they?
We're going to have to give up more than a 2015 5th rounder to move up 6 spots in the first round. Decent mock.

After all the trades, you end up w/Lattimer and no other WR 'til rd 7. Ok. Just seems there are better (at least in terms of production) WR's with similar size, strength, speed, work ethic, etc. You'd pass up Matthews, Adams, Moncrief for Latimer?

Jernigan...would arguably play NT for the Niners, not really a position of need. If you're going DL, why not take a guy who can play the 5-technique. Most are projecting Jernigan as a 4-3 DT. Easley would be good, too.

Watkins. Good player, but it's no secret Baalke really likes Breeland.

Brown's a good pick for ILB depth.

Don't get the RB...backfield's already crowded. Gore's not done and Lattimore should be his top b/u.

Thomas a good redshirt pick. Also like Southward...kind of an under-the-radar guy, but very capable.
don't love the fit of Jernigan, but the rest is so tasty that I am a happy fan of this one!
I would use 100 on Ellington, Herron, Archer, or go Tevin Reese in the 5th. We need that speed. I don't think grabbing a rapey 7th rounder would be a great move right now.

It's a low risk pick.Cut him if he has issues.

I believe Crowell returned kicks at Alabama St.
