Former Seahawks CB Could Help 49ers
The 49ers' status at cornerback is still very much uncertain, with unrestricted free agent Tarell Brown still on the market and Carlos Rogers' recent release.Brown still ranks No. 1 on the team's wish list, and the Niners are hoping the interest in Brown is lo, so they'll be able to retain him.But in the meantime, the 49ers are looking elsewhere for corner help, and that could include signing former Seahawks corner Walter Thurmond.For the 49ers-Seahawks rivalry – a heated affair both on the field and between the team's fan bases – the signing of Thurmond would be sure to cause consternation in Seattle. Niners' Trades for Gabbert, Martin Could Pay DividendsWhen Thurmond tweeted Thursday that he had a great visit with the Jaguars and was now "off to San Fran" for a visit, some Seahawks fans didn't like it."I just lost all love for ya," responded one. Thurmond, who can play on the edge and also in the slot against three-receiver sets – an area where Rogers often played – has no worries about visiting or signing with the 49ers as some of his former teammates have had.

The Pro Football Focus (PFF) Mock Draft Simulator was used to create this mock draft.

Round 1, Pick 31
CB, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama
The 49ers have three defensive backs in the last years of their contracts. Charvarius Ward is a veteran in the last year of his deal with the team, and Deommodore Lenoir and Ambry Thomas are playing in the last year of their rookie contracts.

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team.
