Don't get me wrong dtg, I love the DB's that you've selected...everyone of them. But I think you went a little overkill with the secondary, IMO. That would be a bunch more DB's added to a big bunch of DB's already on the team. I also think the team needs to draft a ILB somewhere on day 3. Sure there's Wilhoite and Moody, but with Bowman out, added competition to make that Ted position would be best.

LOL...yes, but I just couldn't put any back on the shelf! I really don't think they have any real weak areas except WR and DB so...

All the DL and LBs I wanted were gone when I looked at the logical spots they were likely to fall. As I looked through my mock I began to think Baalke will trade way up to get a top flight CB or a bit less to get a top WR.

Excellent mock draft!

I really like it, but in the end of the third, I'd probably take that much-wished-for speed receiver...maybe Ellington or similar. Otherwise, awesome.

If Moncrief is available @ 56 we would probably be better served by taking him. If not, Matthews is okay with me. I am not a fan of Joyner, rather have Verret. Overall a solid draft, though I agree a little heavy on the defensive backs.

Replace Joyner with Moncrief and it looks great. I don't think they will all still be there when we pick but I hope it works out this way.

Love it! Only change I might make is Richburg...with Kilgore's extension, that tells me he'll be Harbaugh's C. At least 3 other guys can provide b/u. So, I'd opt for an ILB instead. WRT Matthews vs Moncrief, I like both guys, but if you look at their college careers, JM has the better resume. He's been consistently productive and ran a 4.46, so is quick enough and has arguably the best work ethic of all receivers in this draft. He has over 100 more receptions, 1400 yds and 4 more TD's than Moncrief.

Not bad at all.

Good draft man!

I appreciate how you laid it out.

Disagree w/you and many posters who keep going C in 3rd round. The pick, Richburg, is an excellent move BUT IMO it's pissing in the wind. Kilgore is the C and will be for a while.

We could use that pick for a better WR.

I think Montcreif will be an incredible WR so I'm a bit biased in his direction. Matthews is a solid choice.

Good call on Saunders as PR.

VERY smart move stashing Long & Colvin.

and I have to disagree with you.

i think that the majority want Baalke to pick two CBs in the first three rounds. he did it. colvin is a 7th-rounder and will be red-shirted.
bailey is a needed S-backup and perhaps the future starter at SS.

though, another pass-rushing lb on.day 3 would be certainly fine.

and a DE, dont care how ;)

ovr, very good.

moncrief over matthews, verrett over fuller, ellington over saunders would be my Personal choice but that is more of a personal preference.

Thanks, believe me, I tried! Player just didn't line up where I wanted them and I don't like projecting trades...gets too outlandish. Most of the receivers I liked fell high first or high second, and the niners have only one pick in that range--#30. I kept looking at Cooks and Beckham--higher than 30th--and Moncrief and Adams--high second. Also thought about Landry but I see him as very similar to Matthews so didn't make the call.

Thanks Corva--I would like to see a true center behind Kilgore, who was dinged up last year in limited play. Richburg has been making line calls and likely knows the position better than the other backups would/do. I kept putting Moncrief in and then trying to adjust to the various prospect lists but the only place he seemed really certain to be was in the second and I have a slight leaning toward Matthews overall. Would be great if Cooks or Lee fell to 30th.


LasVegasWally--similar to my comments to Corva, I like Matthews over Moncrief (but just barely), and I really want the niners to settle the center position that has been iffy since...Heitmann? Thought about putting both Matthews and Moncrief in the mock but then WR would be as overkilled as CB!

Thanks Commie--Looked at each of these guys and just disagree in the end...but many mocks have Verrett even with Fuller and Moncrief/Matthews close.


Doing mocks is a fun exercise but it is frustrating! As many choices as the niners have this year I wanted twice as many players! Much of any mock's realism will be determined by how the positions begin to fly off the board. If WRs go high, which I think they will, then this is the mock I would see happening. If they don't go high, as in five first round WRs, then perhaps my mock would have been very different. If Cooks was there at #30 it would change the whole mock.

With all due respect to you, my friend, I am not sure how realistic this one is. Seems a little hit-and-miss in my honest opinion. I think the team will look more for a true speed element in the receiving game. Barring a major trade up to deplete our amount of picks, I do foresee the team taking at least 2 WRs and 2 DBs.

The 49ers have shown interest in everything except your typical, run-of-the-mill possession receivers. Matthews is quite a solid one, prospect wise, but I don't think that's what we're looking for. The 49ers have shown a lot of interest in slot receiver types as well as the tall red zone threats like Benjamin and Mike Evans. Primarily slot guys though.

There are actually a couple players in particular not being talked about much that I think are major targets we could go after in the middle rounds.

Likely true but I believe the niners would have to trade up for Cooks or another speed guy...and none of the middle round speedsters fell in my area without trades. Of course, my method is to use multiple prospects lists and only take a player who is available in the majority of these lists. Makes it a bit more rational but...still a shot in the dark. Reese and Saunders are both intesting guys, one quick and nimble the other plain fast. Other's I tried to fit in were Bryant, Janis and Adams...just didn't fall where I thought the niners were picking.
