I think that's a bit high I would've preferred any of Davon House, Curtis Brown, Johnny Patrick or Chimdi Chekwa over Culliver.

Hopefully this is one of those guys that surprises.

At least it's a position of need.

agreed. just better talent on the board.

I hear this every year, and every year people somehow manage to be wrong. Just because you think a guy is a better player or can be a better player doesn't somehow make it true in reality.

Why not take the Dyke guy that Oakland picked. He runs a 4.28.

I see one source says 176lb

I found this and it looks pretty good!

According to SI, NFL.com, ESPN, NFL Draftcountdown and just about every site has him going in the 3-4. Mayocock didn't like the pick but he always bashes the Niners. 6'1" 199lbs and a sub 4.4. Hopefully the can coach him up, he certainly has the intangibles

The San Francisco 49ers maneuvered within the third round before addressing their need at cornerback with Chris Culliver, taken 80th overall.

Culliver, from South Carolina, is a former receiver with good height for the position (6 feet). He also suffered from injury problems in college, including a torn pectoral.

"I like him; he is a press corner," draft analyst Rob Rang said. "One of the concerns I had was he was a corner-safety tweener. He is athletic enough to play corner, but wasn't as physical as you would always like. I thought Seattle might have some interest in him as well, but I thought he might go in the fourth round."

Not impressed with Van Dyke.....Raiders took him because of his speed, imagine that

His scouting reviews are not great for what it's worth. Doesn't seem worthy of a third rounder to me. Baalke's grabbing all his picks early.

Sounds like a guy to groom behind Namdi Asomugha

are u guys nuts??/

we drafted this guy in the 3rd round because of his measurable???

have u guys seen this guy play?? he's a freakin 5th rounder at best..

Ugh we should've traded back some more. We could've got this guy in the 4th. Baalke is a dumbass.

At this point all this guys we have took have great athletic ability/potential etc. I think Jim is confident that he will coach these guys up and turn them into steal.
