Travisty13 got bored and made a Mock Draft.

I wouldnt mind if tha draft played out like this pretty good only thing Im not sure about is ur trade....Last yr we trade up frm #31 to #18 N had to give up a extra 3rd pirck we had i think it was 76# or something like that so i dont #30 N #125ish will work .... Just a quick question to whoever can answer it. ...I was wondering how easy or hard is it to charge frm being a strong safety to a free safety? ?? I ask cause I like a few FS N i've see a lot on here that mocking a FS to us....

Some nice picks. I would pass on Easly in the 2nd round. Maybe if he fell to our 3rd round pick. He's had multiple knee injuries and redshirting another 2nd rounder when we have real needs this draft is too much.

Nice mock

looks like u put alot of work into this nice. but i stopped reading after u wrote dont resign anquan this thread lost all validity with that.
ps teams with the leagues top 2 possesion WRs dont need to draft another one, when all you have is receivers who can only get open underneath you offense doesnt produce enough to win SBs. see 2014 NFC title game

Realistic, I like it. My only questions are will Pryor last that long and will it take more to draft up and get him. Boldin stays, there are too many questions with he receivers. Finally, do we want to take Easley? Another rehab project.

Free Agent Signings: (*Side note: I believe Baalke does what he always does and goes for bargain guys, that make us all gripe about him not making a big splash in Free Agency. These aren't guys on my wishlist, just guys I think Baalke believe have potential and wants to see if they pan out)

Antoine Cason, CB - young, good size, coming off a bad year. Should come low-cost.
Nate Allen, S - Everyone remember Baalke being upset when we missed on this guy? Baalke finally gets his guy and a chance to rejuvenate his career. Backup/cheap.
Marc Mariani, WR/Returner - Kid can't stay healthy. But is a Pro-Bowl returner when he plays. Baalke brings him in cheap. Still young (26).
Blake Costanzo, LB/ST - Special-teams stud returns to the Bay Area.

• Fifth Round - Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming (6'2; 206 lbs)

Reminds me of a shorter, Alex Smith, with a little more speed. Good, not great arm, but enough to make all the throws. Played in a lower conference. But still plays well against the "big boys". Against Nebraska he passed for 383 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT and ran for another 92 yards.

STRENGTHS: better athlete than given credit with deceiving mobility and very quick feet to be elusive in the pocket and avoid pressure. He has good-enough height and has worked hard to bulk up his frame, spending considerable time in the weight room. Smith scans the field quickly, works through his reads and does an excellent job recognizing soft spots in coverage pre-snap. Gutsy competitor who plays the game of football with a chip on his shoulder and he'll win over NFL coaches with his attitude, work ethic and overall football passion.

WEAKNESSES: Smith is extremely confident, but almost to a fault as he tests small passing windows too often, throwing into tight coverage and hoping for a positive play. He has good enough arm strength for the next level, but lacks elite velocity especially when he can't step into his throws. Smith can get jumpy and skittish in the pocket and needs to get his footwork under control. He is a high-completion passer, but his accuracy will dip when throwing on the run.http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1825102/brett-smith

• Sixth Round - Ricardo Allen, CB, Purdue (5'9; 187 lbs)

Feisty slot corner that plays bigger than his size. Great character kid off the field. Has garnered all-conference honors all 4 seasons and has started every game since he was a true freshman. 13 career INTs (2nd most in school history).

Strengths: Allen has quick, coordinated footwork to drive fast and furious on plays with enough make-up speed to compensate for his aggressive play style. He is battled tested and plays with supreme confidence, often attempting to get into the opponent?s head with his gift for gab. Loves to throw his body around. Allen always believes a ball in the air belongs to him and displays reliable ballskills with a knack for making something happen after the interception, averaging 29.3 yards per INT return.

Weaknesses: Allen has limited strength and can be easily out-muscled by receivers. He will bite on pumps and fakes and needs to improve his overall discipline and body positioning so he doesn't get turned around, especially on post and corner routes.

Overview: Although he doesn't look like much with his pint-sized frame, Allen plays bigger than he looks with a feisty attitude that allows him to match up with superior-sized WRs. He found the field early in his Purdue career and enters his senior season with 36 starts, 19 passes defended and seven INTs, four of which he has returned for TDs (school record).

Allen doesn't have elite size, strength or speed, but his fearless attitude will earn him a shot, ideally suited as a nickel corner.

Delanie Walker-lite. Small school TE, who fits the H-Back position perfectly. Although Jordan caught 52 career passes, he scored on 17 of those. Invited to combine.

• Seventh Round (from Carolina) - Isaiah Crowell, RB, Alabama State (5'11; 200 lbs)

Was kicked off Georgia's team for multiple felony gun charges, all later dropped. As a freshman at Georgia, had 850 yards and five scores and earned SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Has loads of talent, but is a immature and needs to grow up to be successful. Hoping our locker room can get him motivated to get his butt in gear.

He wasn't used much in the passing game, but he has shown soft hands as a pass-catcher and displays accurate awareness in pass protection. Crowell has some durability concerns, but his character and off-field decision-making are the big questions with his draft stock and something that will be thoroughly investigated by NFL teams.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1877268/isaiah-crowell

Controlled mover with nice balance. Gets in and out of breaks cleanly. Runs crisp routes -- shows some savvy and subtle physicality to work himself open. Tracks and adjusts very well. Has soft, sure hands and catches naturally. Good concentration to make contested catches. Confident and competitive. Excellent two-year production.

Lacks ideal height. Fairly monotone -- does not have explosive speed to separate vertically. Too many catches are contested. Lacks wiggle to elude tacklers and create after the catch. Did not face top-notch competition.

Productive, dependable, fairly polished possession receiver with natural receiving skills. Lacks ideal size and horsepower to thrive outside, but his sure hands give him a chance to compete for a role as a chain-moving, short-to-intermediate slot receiver.

Priority UDFAs:

• Keith Reaser, CB, Florida Atlantic
• Nick Addison, CB/S, Bethune-Cookman
• Dustin Vaughan, QB, West Texas A&M
• Jeoffrey Pagan, DE, Alabama
• Zach Moore, DE, Concordia- St.Paul
• Caleb Lavey, ILB, Oklahoma State
• Xavius Boyd, LB, Western Kentucky

Well there you have it. Love to hear insights/opinions.

I like your mock, especially when you acknowledged Baalke's habit of searching for Bargain Bin free Agents, which is why I'm a little surprised at your lack of drafted injured players in this draft:

2013 injured players drafted:

2nd round: DE Tank Carridine
4th round: RB Marcus Lattimore
5th round: NT Quinton Dial

* Baalke also signed injured players Okoye and Marquardt. In 2012: Joe Looney and Jewel Hampton

In 2014, I expect a lot of injured players in the later rounds:

QB: Aaron Murray
CB: Aaron Colvin
FB: Trey Millard
OG: Spencer Long

You could also make the argument that he will go after Injured UDFA: S Nickoe, Sunseri, and DE Whaley.

Just have to fill up the PUP list roster.

I wanted to resign Boldin, but I think Brown is a big priority and will cost us. I don't see Boldin coming back on a 1 year, and after this offseason we have Iupati, Smith, Kaep, Crabtree, Gore, Miller, Culliver, Hunter as Free Agents. That's alot of money needing to be spent. Can't tie it up in a 33 year old WR that made 6 million last year. Don't get me wrong, I love Boldin here, but unless he gives us a good deal, I don't want to tie up alot of money when it needs to be used elsewhere.

Brown isn't a bigger priority IMO. Boldin is #1 priority.

Iupati won't be extended, overrated IMO. Stinks at pass and run blocking, and injury prone.

Hunter I wouldn't re-sign for more than a million or 2 a yr. Cully and Miller are easy signings. Crabs is tough, depends on 1., Money, and 2. does he want to stay here.

Kap and Aldon will be extended. Aldon is already locked up thru 2015 with the 5th yr option. Kap won't break the bank, and neither would Boldin. Every source says Boldin is gonna be back, and I believe it. He is worth $6M easy. He was money all year. Same for Dawson, Neither should have to take a pay cut.

Trading away a late 4th round pick to move up 11 spots in the first round is not realistic...sorry to burst the bubble for this draft, not everyone is as desperate/stupid as Dallas.

But forgetting all that it's a pretty good mock tho I'd avoid Bryant in the 3rd round and take someone like Bruce Ellington instead.

Baalke does love the injury specials, but honestly, we were stacked last year and the injured player picks helped us hold on to guys. This year I think we lose alot of players that will need to be filled with players right away. Easley will be a IR guy, but Desir takes over Rogers spot, Pryor takes Whitner, Adams takes Boldin, Bryant takes Manningham/Baldwin (think Baldwin comes to camp and is later cut), Ricardo takes Perrish spot, Smith takes Colt's spot. Last year our main loses were Dashon, Isaac, and Ricky Jean (not including Alex in this), so we had very few spots to fill via draft. We will have more this year in my opinion.

SS are considered more in the box, run defender type Safeties. FS is considered a more coverage, defend the pass type Safety. In todays pass heavy NFL, the old school SS (Donte Whitner) is slowly dying in my opinion, you need Safeties that can cover and still hold up in run support. Reid is that kind of Safety, and Pryor also. Fangio has said he likes his Safeties "interchangeable" because it allows him to do more within the defense. Look at Seattle's secondary, both Safeties can cover and are good in run D. I think the title of "Free/Strong" in describing Safeties is pointless. If you have mirror image Safeties, you can do alot more. Would you trust a Whitner-type Safety alone covering a TE, I would not. That's where having 2 Safeties like Reid would help our D.

Not everyone is as stupid as the Cowboys, true, but we are talking about the Dolphins here.

Agreed on Boldin vs. Brown. Also don't think the Niners will sign that many players on the open market either. Like the draft a lot.

You helped make my point. The last 3 guys: Snead, Crowell and Jordan are not guaranteed a spot (Not sure you factored in your Free Agents either). Instead of getting plucked on the waiver wire ala Marcus Cooper and BJ Daniels, I think Baalke goes injured players:


(Assuming QB: Aaron Muray and CB: Aaron Colvin are gone)

FB: Trey Millard
OG: Spencer Long
DE: Chris Whaley
