Niners draft without trades.

Would be a very good draft. Really wish Tank Carradine wasn't rising up draft boards because I prefer him over Datone Jones since he's a much better pass rusher. Jones might be more solid all around though. Also like the late round pick Travis Johnson. He gets sacks! Was in my class too.

Very nice luv tha first 5 picks ... hate both 4th round N gholston picks ... luv Kaufman pick he's one of my favorite WR .... A- draft grade though

I like Tank a lot too but I think Jones is more ready to be a 3-4 DE than Tank is. Would be stoked for either one.

Johnson could be a great player someday. All time sack leader in the WAC and his sack numbers went up every season.

Jones and Carradine were used differently. I agree Tank has the upper hand in the pass rush department. But we'd like somebody that can play the 5-technique and be an effective inside pass rusher too. Tank hasn't done that really. He'd be making a change. Jones is widely viewed as a 5-technique DE. He's not a pure outside rusher, but he can generate pressure up the middle and play the run better than Tank (at least initially).

I'm with you, I'd prefer Tank because I think he has amazing upside. But Jones would be a solid pick.
