Crazy's moderately probable Mock Draft 4/1

I like the idea of trading up for one CB and trading for a veteran, if young, CB. I don't think Harbaugh wants to go into camp with the possibility of two rookie CBs as the #2 and #3. Most posters and media pushing Verrett note his aggressiveness against Harvin, etc. but don't project his ability to tackle M. Lynch consistently. What I've seen on his highlight reel is a lack of aggression in run support and being easily blocked out of the way.

I'm not sold on any of the second round WRs adding much to what Boldin, Crabtree and Patton already show. Cooks and Beckham too don't overwhelm me. Perhaps trading out for a second or higher 2015 1st rounder is the way to go, select one of the 3rd round speed guys. My preference is to trade up for Evans or Watkins with picks and including Ray McDonald (Dorsey can take his position). It won't happen, but it would all but guarantee a significant improvement on offense.

Ah, April Fools moderators have appropriated my two cents about trading for a veteran CB, etc.

You not worried about your CB tackling Lynch, s**t the linebackers and d line man can't tackle Lynch.

I like the mock! I think Claiborne would thrive in our system...if we could work a trade for Claiborne, why not move some picks to grab Evans? I think his skill set would be a prefect fit for us ( spread the field, use 3 WR sets??), plus Balkee has an eye for drafting DBs in later rds.

All that said I would be very happy with this! All of the players have a good chance to make the team and we grabbed a 2nd rd pick

Seems like a lot of capital to give for a guy with 2(3?) years left on his rookie deal. If we could extend Claiborne, then I would say go for it. Otherwise, eh no thanks.

Yeah thats a lot to give up for Mo Claiborne. I know the change in scheme would do him some good but a 2nd, 5th, and a conditional 6th? I have a feeling Dallas would jump all over that trade because its a steal for them. I'd give up a 3rd and a conditional pick, and even that is too much for me but with Cully in trouble we need a vet to help replace him. Other than that the mock is pretty solid IMO.

There's a fatal flaw in your mock...Jerry Jones believes he can't hire a better GM than himself. Therefore, I don't see him willing to trade Claiborne, whether he's being misused or not. Besides, he's not the veteran Baalke would be looking for, IMHO. He'd love to find someone like another Eric Wright...proven cover CB with more experience, but still in his relative prime. After all your trades, etc. you ended up with Verrett, Matthews & Skov. I like all 3, but the rest, meh. Lattimer's raw, why would Baalke draft him when there are other more experienced & polished WR's available. There's a distinct possibility Crabtree isn't on the team in 2015, and Boldin's got only a 2-yr contract. It's hard enough for even exceptional WR's to make their mark early on. Solution: draft the best WR's you can now. Ditto CB's...Verrett and Fuller would be ideal. If not the latter, then get Desir, who has the size and length Baalke's looking for.

Verrett can hit harder than most CB who are bigger than he is
Don't look past this guy because of his size
He did 20 reps at the combine

if youre worried about tackling lynch 1 on 1, whether it's verrett or bowman, youve already failed. the emphasis is group tackling against a guy like that.

So I don't know if it is just me but the last post I have wasn't me.
I don't even see my old post on here

First, GREAT layout and descriptions in the mock. I really enjoyed it and it was fun. Too many people here are WAYYYY too serious at times.

Some good picks. First 3 are pretty solid although the jury is still out on Clairborn.

I think the mock is solid. I just don't want to give up three picks for a dime CB.

No

Instead of trading a 2015 6th round pick, I recommend trading a 2014 7th instead. It isn't like the 7th will make our team anyway, and we have too many picks this year.
