Ponder should be in the QB list. I think he's not been spoke about much because we are trying to keep our thoughts on him secret. If you notice he's the perfect WCO QB yet we haven't really been out eyeing him up publicly. I think its a draft ploy by us so we can get him.

Whilst I certainly see the need for a NT and to a lesser extent for a running back - although fullback might be more of a need even though it will take a lower pick - I cant help thinking that receiver should be ahead of back.

No matter how good a back we get, they are unlikely to wrench Frank's starting role away from him. In our receiving corps surely only Crabtree is as secure.

Just a thought.

Good call Travisty. I also don't get Mayo's fascination with Bruce Carter. He isn't a pass rusher and would be a much better fit in a 4-3. I would substitute Jabaal Sheard in his spot in the second.

I agree, but I think he grabbed this list from Barrow's blog:

Mayo,I notice you don't have Stanzi on your list of possible Qbs.. Is that because you don't think he's an option for the 49ers or you just forgot?
