Yeah, but now that backup DE and eventual replacement for Smith seems like less of a need than NT or S, even if they sign a safety in free agency. So, probably means they wouldn't go for a guy like Datone Jones in the first. He was my draft crush.

Or maybe draft a guy that can play both like Jesse Williams, John Jenkins, or Hankins

IMO, it lessens the need for a NT/DT, but not necessarily a pure 3-4 DE. So I think a guy like Datone Jones (who seems like a legitimate heir to Justin Smith's role) is still in play.

Definitely him. I think Williams solves both d-line problems better than any prospect in this draft, especially now.

It looks like a move up for Kenny Vaccaro is more likely now.

If we make no other moves in the secondary, I would agree (him or Cyprien). But I think we'll make at least one more big move that impacts the secondary and nullifies the need to move up for a safety.

@MaioccoCSN: If 49ers reach deal w/ Charles Woodson (it's a good sign he's in the building), top two needs entering day filled. http://t.co/jHou4NsZsJ

If we sign Woodson, the next domino to fall is to trade for Revis.

Woodson is pretty much a lock to sign, he wants to go to a winning team, he's in the building so unless he stupidly asks for the moon he'll be signed in a few hrs

Total speculation on my part, but we have more picks than we're going to make, and we clearly have a desire to revamp our secondary. I can see that deal happening more so than signing a free agent corner.
