Easter Mock

I really like the player set you chose, and I'll happily take an extra 6th next year.

The player I have the most reservations toward is Tuitt. I'm just not enamored with him. But I do believe he brings value.

Like it!

This is a very nice mock with realistic trades as far as I can see...which is difficult. I don't see DL as being a need...or least much less than CB...so I might switch Tuitt out for a DB, but that always depends on how the draft unfolds. You have filled most needs on ST, Offense and Defense...and I like Colvin and Long for the future.

The WR depth is so great this year that anything can happen. Teams may wait on WRs and push them down. Same with CBs so perhaps one of the top guys falls into the second round.

But I could definately live with this draft!

All goes this way, and it would be a happy day.

I like it too besides the moncrief so high. Lots of receivers + what a waste of James we never even unleashed the kid.

It's not likely one of the top QB's slides to #30. If a top QB drops teams will be trying to trade up to get him well ahead of our pick. If one did slide to our pick we would have multiple buyers and a bidding war. We would make out much better than a 3rd for dropping 10 slots without having to kick in our 4th round pick as well.That kind of trade would be possible if all the QB's were gone but even then Baalke tends to get the better of the deal when trading up or back and would probably demand a 3rd without kicking in our 4th rounder.

Like the players selected in your mock. Would be nice if the draft panned out that way.

I wouldn't trade two 7ths for one 6th next year. I would for two 6ths to 2 different teams. If not there are other pup list guys we could draft like Whitley or Millard.

I wouldn't trade LMJ for a 5th or a 6th. What happens if Latimore or Hunter are injured in preseason? We start the year with only 2 healthy running backs and none who can carry the load alone. What if they both get hurt? We would have no depth. If you want to trade him better to wait until after the last preseason game and we know we have 4 healthy backs and see what teams are in need. Maybe they draft a RB who isn't what they hoped for or had too many injuries in preseason and we could do better than a 5th or a 6th rd pick.

wish we could take laquon treadwell from ole miss instead of donte moncrief not a fan of moncrief.

Everything's good. Except moncrief there.

Noticing several new Mocks have Moncreif as our first pick. Do not like. Draft too deep in WR to take him there, IMO. Rest of mock good though.

I think if we're looking at a big, fast WR, our options are:
1. Trade up into the top 10 for Mike Evans
2. Trade into the early second for Moncrief or the mid-2nd for Bryant (Bryant is a little taller, but Moncrief is stronger and more physical and explosive)
3. Draft Latimer or Matthews at 56 or 61 (but Moncrief is a better athlete than either of them)
4. Draft Kelvin Benjamin in the mid-2nd or Brandon Coleman later on (Moncrief is much more explosive and faster - these guys are red zone threats rather than burners but they have decent build-up speed).

Moncrief is a little raw, but we don't need a starter right away and I think he has as much upside as any receiver other than Evans and possibly Watkins. I don't think we can get him much later than that anymore even though I had him at 56 in previous mocks.

I honestly think Archer would be able to play as a change of pace back if Latimore or Hunter was injured. He was productive his last 2 seasons of college used primarily as a RB. I don't think he's big enough to be a workhouse at RB and we wouldn't be drafting him for that, but he could be a change of pace back in a pinch if one of those guys gets hurt. I'm not sure exactly what the 49ers think James is worth, but I felt Archer makes James somewhat redundant so I would try to salvage some value through a trade. A 6th round pick probably wouldn't be enough compensation for him but a 5th round might.

I don't know, maybe. I know LMJ can carry it 10-15 times a game if we need him to. I don't know if Archer is built for that. Plus pass blocking blitzing LB's. I like Archer as a return man but I don't know about the rest.

Why would anyone want Coleman? If you want a tall redzone threat late, why not target Cody Hoffman? We have Coleman on our team already, his name is Jon Baldwin. And I'm not the only one that thinks so.....

Kelvin Benjamin is slower, less dependable version of Baldwin.

His name doesn't belong on this forum
