4/22 mock draft final version

Bryant is this year's Stephen Hill. Tall with speed but raw as hell and one dimensional. Perfect recipe for a bust.

With the depth at the position there are a lot better options there.

Not going to argue with you on that. And I stated it was a risk but I think drafting a WR is always a risk unless it's a top 10 pick (then it's only a risk for the raiders) but Byrant has boom/bust written all over him. Hope for the best plan for the worst with him

I would rather go Fuller and let Morris be the slot CB but overall I could live with this draft.

Thats a huge jump for a slot CB. I would rather have Fuller there and have cully play the slot.

Bryant scares me. I could see him being a flop. Yeah hes big and fast, but so was Stephen Hill and Jonathan Baldwin .. and countless others like Bryant.

Marcus Smith is a stud tho.

I flip flopped on Fuller and Verrett. But if Verretts only negative is 1 inch then I will gladly take that. Size at corner is a trendy thing but I remember watching Lenny Walls playing corner for the broncos and getting lit up years ago and he was criticized for being to tall for his position. Funny how trends change.

Verrett is a fine pick. The kid is a baller. If we can get either him or Fuller in the first I'd call it a successful pick.

Slot corners are pretty much starters in this day and age of spread offenses. I haven't seen cully play slot corner before if he could then I would still go Verrett cause his game tape is better than Fullers.

Cully has played a lot of slot.

When? Carlos Rogers played the slot his first 2 season and he came in and played outside during nickle situations. In college Cully played safety and outside corner.

Don't think we can make the move up from #77 all the way to #39 for a late 4th and LMJ plus a conditional pick. Most boards show Bryant going in the 3rd round. You might get him at #77 without moving up. There are better receiving options. As you say he has boom or bust written all over him. I don't want to roll the dice at #39.

REALLY!.....not even close.

Carradine over McDonald in the depth chart I see....

I like McDonald don't get me wrong but I hope carradine blows up in preseason and we can't not start him. Plus with Aldon probably out we may need a stronger pass rusher.

All those picks traded away to #17 to get Verrett?? Wow. Do you realize many teams most likely wouldn't consider taking him 'til rds 2-3, earliest. Why? He's not that big...say all you want about covering slot WR's, he'd arguably have a hard time physically dealing w/NFL. I'd say if Baalke does trade up in 1st rd, he might go after Fuller, but even that shouldn't cost nearly as much as #17.

Before I'd draft Bryant, I'd take Matthews or Adams. Both are considerably more proven WR's. Look at their numbers compared to Bryant. Your 1st WR chosen should be someone who can replace Crabtree, who'll arguably be the 1st starter leaving. Bryant has potential, but is a ways back in terms of production and polish.

Love Marcus Smith...think he'll be a stud OLB.

Gaines...his weakness is run support, definitely not a good thing in the NFC West. Breeland or Desir (who both have fine all-around games) would be better options.

Archer's too small...speed is great, but with Herron & Ellington out there, each with @ 20+ lbs more muscle, I like their chances for NFL success a lot more than Archer's.

Rest of the picks are fine.
