I think Alex Smith will get 25 TDs and 3 300 yard games.

Crabtree will get 1000 yards.

Moss will get 15 TD

Hunter/James will go over 1000 yards

Aldon Smith gets 16 sacks.

These are some good names suggested so far.

T Brown
Alex Boone
Crabs -- to me he'd have to become a true number one to qualify as break-out -- meaning able to get 5 catches / 70+ yrds a game despite coverages planning for him.
Hunter
Williams - he has to transfer his practice quickness onto the field consistently, will be tough to get time with Manningham on the roster.

How about:

Defense:
Brooks at OLB
Aldon at OLB -- showing he can cover and is more than a rusher
Culliver - we already said
McDonald - getting 8+ sacks would put him on the map
Dobbs - showing up big in the rotation would be great

Offense:
Kilgore - if he beats out Boone at RG and is dominant
Bruce Miller - becoming the next Rathman
Walker -- we expect it every year and he fades
Manningham
Kyle Williams
LaMichael James -- turning into Sproles for us?
Jacobs - resurrect his dominant running?

Vernon Davis!

No more drops & he will POWER his way through the defenses instead of trying to juke them!

Williams has always looked quick and solid on the field as a wide out since last season. The fact that people are saying he looks even MORE explosive and quick now is REALLY encouraging...

If Peterson is on that list, I would say Aldon Smith is not done breaking out. I think his sacks will be about the same, but he will be an every down LB and might get a pick or two.
