Most pundits have us taking Stanley, Jack or Buckner. It's understood if Tunsil, Ramsey or Bosa falls we may take them. However, there are some other players that may end up with us that would somewhat be surprises , like Aldon in 2011 (though that pick worked out... for a few years
)
My two are Shaq Lawson and Ezekiel Elliot. I know we don't need a RB in theory, but he's that rare kind of RB that you break the rules for. I'd compare it to when the Vikings drafted Adrian Peterson even though Chester Taylor ran for 1300 yards the year before. Time shows us that was clearly the right pick.

God I hope they dont draft Lawson, a complete young pass rusher that had his way with some top offensive tackles, was highly productive and comes with possibly the highest motor in the draft and outstanding character and leadership, its like, the 49ers only want alcoholics and wife beaters, no thanks, Lawson is

I would actually be very happy with Shaq Lawson. He's as good or better than any of the other top 10 guys IMO. Absolutely has the potential to be a difference maker at OLB in this league.
In terms of guys who are real "reaches", expected to go out of the top 10-12 or later, I'd say:
Jack Conklin - I'd actually be pretty happy with him, especially if the other two top OTs were gone. I remember when he was still a possible 2nd rounder and I was hopeful we could get him with our 2nd pick. Damn scouts doing their jobs and making talent rise up the boards.
Reggie Ragland, Mackensie Alexander, Eli Apple, Laquon Treadwell - If the FO, determines ILB, CB, or WR is the biggest need and one of these guys is the best player at that position, I could live with it. Needless to say, I'd like to trade down and get better "value" for the pick, but that's not always an option and just because "experts" say a player will be available 10+ picks later, doesn't mean it will be true. If one of these guys is really the player Chip and Baalke think is a difference maker, I could live with it. Certainly key positions of need.
