How does Ted Ginn impact the draft board?

We still need a tackle, but now maybe they wait until the 2nd to get a corner - one who is great in coverage, but who isn't a surefire return guy. To me, a guy like Brandon Graham suddenly seems a lot more appealing in the 1st round.

Spiller has less value now.

All it tells you is we won't be taking a receiver until late in the draft at best or taking Spiller.

Increases the Joe Haden possibility at No. 13

I wanted Spiller but not anymore.

Id like to go Haden and Graham maybe in the first (not sure we should take a RT that early).

Honestly I don't think it changes that much at the top of the draft. I would be very upset if the 49ers would pass on better overall talent early on because another lesser skilled player was a better return man.

I still expect us to look at return guys. Ginn's spot on the team is hardly a sure thing.

Agreed...we'll probably go OT/DB or OT/OLB with those two 1st rounders now.

You're kidding, right? KR/PR is one of the biggest needs on this team, and that's what Ginn does well as proven NFL veteran. Unless he runs over one of Baalke's kids in the parking lot, Ginn is on the roster.

… I also think the odds of us drafting a WR just went from slim, to none.

I don't think it really changes our draft board too much. If we still rank Spiller high enough due to his change of pace abilities, receiving abilities, and KR abilities, then we still take him.
