Statistically speaking, there have been more successful Margus's than Datones. Margus Ragnard (Rolf) Rasmussen, for example, was one of the youngest Viking sea captains in history, and I think we can both agree that post modern dance would not be the same without Margus Svardsson. So yes, I'd rather have a Margus.

Datone has been a favorite of mine for a while now... really want him more than any other with our # 31.. and wouldn't even mind if we traded up to make sure we get him. Moved inside our D, he has the quickness, power, and determination to be an outstanding heir apparent to Justin. He can also easily play anywhere on the line when we go to Nickel.
Right now, a favorite start to the draft for me is:
# 31 - Datone Jones - DE - UCLA
# 34 - Tyler Eifert or Zach Ertz - TE - ND/Stanford
trade up with # 61 + # 93 to get inside the top 50 to select:
# 50 - D.J. Swearinger or Eric Reid - S - SC/LSU
# 76 - Aaron Dobson - WR - Marshall
#127 - BPA on CB or rush LB
then trade back up with the large number of late picks for BPA on CB or rush LB not taken the pick prior
... something like that is ideal for me.

This is exactly what I want to see happen. Datone, Eifert, trade up for DJ. If we pulled that off, we'd be a significantly better team next year. That said, at 76 I'll still take Brandon Williams to fill our NT slot. #127 can be used on a WR or CB.

UCLA's anthony barr had such success this past season as a premier pass rusher because datone jones was on the inside occupying multiple blockers, allowing barr to swoop in and get the sack. Does Jones sound like anyone we know? the next justin smith

He's a good one...but at @ 280, a bit undersized to play DE in our 3-4. I understand Justin Smith's @ 290, but there are very few DL who can get the push he does. I'd rather have a couple of 300+ bad-asses who can play both inside and out. We really don't need a "pure" NT to replace Sopoaga. Would also sign a FA...Starks would be awesome, but maybe pricey. There are some others who'd help, like Sammie Lee Hill, Jason Jones, Roy Miller, Mike DeVito, etc.

Justin Smith was 270 pounds when he entered the NFL....are you claiming that a guy won't gain weight with a pro-style strength training program?
And what do you use to support your assertion that the 49ers really don't need a "pure NT" to replace Soap?

Jones will be gone before our pick. We'd have to trade up for him. He's been rising up draft boards since the senior bowl and continued to impress with his combine performance.
nah for now, he is still considered a early 2nd round pick but he could see a draft day burst like bruce irvin did
Trust me, hes worked his way into the 20s. Highly doubt he makes it to 31.

He's got all the tools for this team to work with to develop him as a replacement for Justin Smith.
Pass rush ability
Explosive athletic ability
Strong run stopper
Good field awareness
High Motor
Would trade up for him, worried he'll end up in Seattle.
