Hey guys based on your predictions if the panther's pick goes between 5-11 pick in the draft. Do we still have a chance on drafting berry? I have a feeling he would go between 1-5th pick in the draft.

Rather than celebrating – McCloughan’s not a big high-five-in-the-war-room guy – he immediately turned his attention to the second round. As the 49ers’ pick (43rd overall) approached, there were two players the team was targeting. Each of them, however, was snapped up with one of the five picks that immediately preceded San Francisco’s. (McCloughan wouldn’t say which players he wanted, but Matt Maiocco, the superb writer who covers the team for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, speculated that linebacker Rey Maualuga and cornerback Darius Butler were the likely targets.)
Now McCloughan was willing to trade down, and to his surprise he quickly fielded calls from five teams who wanted to move up to the Niners’ slot. The last of those calls was from Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney, whose job security has been the subject of much media speculation. With star pass rusher Julius Peppers’ future in Carolina uncertain, Hurney really wanted to move up to take Florida State defensive end Everette Brown.
“What are we talking about?” McCloughan asked Hurney, who answered, “Next year’s 1 for this and your 4 [San Francisco’s fourth-round pick in ’09].”
McCloughan was so happy, he was tempted to make the deal on the spot. Instead, he said to Hurney, with as much nonchalance as he could muster, “OK, I’ll get back to you.”
It was halfway through the team’s seven-minute window, and there were a lot of nerves in the draft room as McCloughan hung up the phone and did absolutely nothing.
“That’s the part of the draft I love,” he says. “It’s like a chess match. When I hung up the phone, everyone in the room was looking at me, and I just stared up at the ceiling. They’re going, ‘What are we gonna do?’ I’m there thinking, ‘Hmmm, Carolina’s got the toughest schedule in the league next year. [Jake] Delhomme’s a pretty good quarterback, but if he gets hurt … that pick could be pretty high.’ ”
About two minutes passed before McCloughan reached for the phone. Instead of calling Hurney, however, he added to the tension by “purposely dialing the wrong number first. Finally, I dialed again and tried to get more out of Marty – ‘Can you throw in your [sixth-round pick]?’ I had to try it. He said no, and I said, ‘OK,’ and made the trade.”
To say McCloughan was thrilled would be an understatement. With cap space and a pair of 2010 first-rounders, he now has the ammunition to make a big move if he decides there’s an impact player worth acquiring via trade, either during next April’s draft or at any time before it.
“I got on the computer and checked the numbers” of the widely used chart that assigns points for draft picks, McCloughan says, “and the thing that’s interesting is that first-round picks the next year are only half as [valuable] as this year’s No. 1. I realize you don’t know where the team you trade with will finish, which affects the value, but it really makes no sense.
“Having two No. 1s gives us tons of leverage. We got huge value, not just for next year but if we decide to make a trade. We’ve got tons of cap room, so nothing’s holding us back.”

crabtree was predicted to go 2 in the draft last year, but s**t happens, the combine builds up some players stock and may overtake berry or teams may just not want berry, you never know.

I know $hit happens but what if Berry gets draft do you guys have any alternate pick that will be a good value on the top 10. I know O-line and pass rushers are the top priority is there any other top prospects that will be in line with the Carolina pick just in case if Berry gets drafted. Sorry for out of topic questions and I don't track College prospects since I had been busy in school. Sorry with all the questions I am just excited with this pick I like having 2 1st round pick.

There are plenty of prospects like Suh (DT), Berry (S), Okung (OT), McCoy (DT), Bryant (WR), Haden (CB) and others that are worth top 10 consideration. I named 5 off right off the bat. With Locker (QB) and Clausen (QB) excepted to declare, it can only further our chances of getting Berry.
BUT Berry is a top 5 pick, if not top 3. Don't count on him being available.
