Because of the depth in the draft, it would make sense to acquire more middle round picks, but the 49ers don't have alot of needs to fill. I always like the idea of acquiring future picks, but since the 49ers are so close, I'd like to see the immediate needs filled properly before deciding to bulk up next years draft.
So for me, the best decision is to move up and fill immediate needs. I like the idea of moving into the middle of the first, possibly with the Cowboys. Something like #30, #77, 5th rnd to Dallas for 16. We should use the two late 2nd round picks to move back near 30. I think the Redskins at 34 would be willing to acquire more picks in this draft since they have plenty of needs and are short on picks because of the RG3 trade. Even if we dont move up in the first, we could still have 30 and 34. That could leave us with 5 picks in the first 4 rounds and in position to get some immediate contributors and depth. (110 is guess at comp pick, 120 is guess at 4th round pick).
Option 1 - Move up to middle of first, and move up to end of first/early second,
016 -
WR - Evans, Lee
CB - Dennard, Gilbert
034 -
CB - Fuller, Roby, Verret
WR - Cooks, Benjamin, Robinson
BPA?- Tuitt, Pryor, Hageman
094 -
110 -
120 -
Option 2 - Move up to end of first/early second. From here you can still parlay some picks. 60 for 77 and 94 works on the charts for example.
030 -
CB - Fuller, Roby, Verret
WR - Cooks, Benjamin, Robinson
BPA?- Tuitt, Pryor, Hageman
034 -
CB - Fuller, Roby, Verret
WR - Cooks, Benjamin, Robinson
BPA?- Tuitt, Pryor, Hageman
060 -
110 -
120 -
