Assumptions
Looking for potential impact players in free agency and the draft. Kelly decides to work with Kaepernick and Gabbert. No trades assumed. Assumes FA OGs and OC are signed. Ian Williams resigns. Boldin resigns. Boone leaves.
FA Targets—(age)—hope to get a couple of these guys:
- Denver D…OK?
- RT Schraeder (28), Falcons—need to shore up the right side of the OL if Davis is still iffy.
- OG Osemele (27), Ravens—played LT due to injury need, versatile, younger better than Boone.
- OC Wisniewski (27), Jaguars—need to shore up the middle of this line.
- ILB Trevathan (26), Denver--may be an affordable acquisition.
- OLB Von Miller (27), Denver? Too expensive or franchised?
- DT/DE Muhammad Wilkerson (27), Jets—expensive upgrade if they don't draft Buckner.
- QB Bradford (28), Eagles—Kelly may want competition and liked what he saw?
DRAFT [CBS Ranking--added]
R1.7 [8]: DeForest Buckner, DL, Oregon, 6'7" 290—bookend with Armstead making the DL an elite unit.
R2.37 [22]: OK...you've all convinced me Noah Spence won't fall this far, if at all.
R2.37 [37]: Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas St., 6'4" 300--is he suited for Kelly's system? Very sound fundmentally.
R3.74 [93]: Kenny Lawler, WR, Cal, 6'2" 195—long arms, doesn't mind contact, spectacular catches.
R4.106 [114]: Scooby Wright III, ILB, Arizona, 6'0" 246—injury pushes him down the board. Instinctive and quick recognition offset lack of anchor ability?
R4.133 [129] (comp): Eric Murray, CB, Minnesota, 5'11" 198—solid all-around DB.
R5.142 [147] (comp): Max Tuerk, C, USC, 6-5 285 (edit from Allen--forgot to make change from first mock)
R5.146 [170 ](own): Victor Ochi, OLB, Stony Brook, 6-2 250 (small school guy, lacks quick twitch but…?)
R5.174 [152] (comp): Jayron Kearse, SS, Clemson, 6-4 220—competes with Tartt to replace Bethea, playmaker
R6.181 [176] (T-Dallas):Leon Allen, RB, W Kentucky, 5-11 235 (IR?) (1550 run, 450 receiving yards as Junior)
R6.209 [181] (T-Denver): D.J. Reader, DT, Clemson, 6'3" 340—huge guy with good feet, NT.
R6.211 [217] (comp): Chris Brown, WR, ND, 6'2" 180—speed and consistent routes offer potential.
R6.213 [212] (comp): Ka'imi Fairbairn, K, UCLA, 6'0" 183—won the Lou Groza Award.
