2012 NFL Draft Combined “Fan” Mock
Apr 26, 2012 at 9:34 AM
•
This mock was compiled from our
2012 NFL Mock Draft Contest. Over 180 fans entered our contest and created their predicted first round mocks. From those mocks, we took the player that was most selected at that position. So with the first pick, we took the most selected player and then took that player out of the pool. Then with the second pick, we did the same thing with the players left in the pool. Doing a mock like this makes for some interesting selections.
Remember, this list is not perfect. Like what one of our commenters brought up with the lack of Floyd, what could happen is someone could make him the second most picked player at a selection, and then not have him picked by many lower in the round ... thus dropping him off of the list, which is unrealistic. This list is just to see where fans are picking people within our draft contest.
Here is what the combined fan mock looks like. Enjoy.

John Lynch: 49ers learning from draft hits and misses; Aaron Banks, Ambry Thomas will contribute
A lot is riding on the selection of Trey Lance. The future of the San Francisco 49ers — and likely head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch — depends on the rookie quarterback developing into an impact player.
The NFL Draft has seemingly been a crapshoot for the Niners. For every Nick Bosa, there is a Solomon Thomas or Reuben Foster. There have been George Kittles and Fred Warners. However, selections like Dante Pettis severely impact evaluations of recent draft classes. The jury is still out on last year's first-rounders, Javon Kinlaw and Brandon Aiyuk. The latter's lack of involvement this season has been baffling.
The 49ers have hit
Deebo Samuel showing flashes of 49ers great Jerry Rice, says NFL.com
Deebo Samuel is the NFL's leading receiver through four weeks of play. He has 490 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns on 28 receptions, which puts him on pace for over 2,000 yards through 17 games.
Now, a lot has to happen between now and the end of the season for Samuel to come anywhere close to that milestone. While Calvin Johnson was 36 yards shy of that mark in 2012, no one has reached it. Samuel would have to maintain his current pace and stay healthy to come close, even with the benefit of a 17-game season.

49ers stock plummets in Week 5 NFL Power Rankings
The analysts who were clamoring for backup quarterback Trey Lance no longer believe the 49ers are a playoff-caliber team.
When San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans was exposed in Week 3, the young coordinator's incompetence was far from a hot topic of conversation amongst members of the national sports media -- if it was even discussed at all.
After months of fawning over rookie quarterback Trey Lance, the media finally got its wish in Week 4, as the latest future of the 49ers' franchise played the entire second half of the Niners' loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie certainly looked the part during the team's defeat, simply proving what was obvious all along: He's not ready; but who expected him to be?

49ers rookie Trey Lance to make first NFL start, says Kyle Shanahan
The San Francisco 49ers hoped quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would be able to take part in today's practice and test whether his right leg was strong enough to play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Garoppolo didn't, and he has now missed an entire week's worth of practice.
After practice, head coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers are ruling Garoppolo "out" for the Week 5 matchup and that rookie Trey Lance would start in the veteran's place. With Garoppolo sidelined, Lance has received the majority of the practice reps this week.
"The more reps you get, the better you're going to get," general manager John Lynch said this morning on KNBR. "He does things exceptionally well. I think he's taken to our offense well. With every rep, he's going to get
