How did the draft line up with your mock?

I correctly picked Martin and Millard. I had Verrett in the first, so Ward isn't much of a stretch from that (both nickel corners). I'm actually happier with the Ward pick because he can also play safety and is a little better built than Verrett

I also got the first 3 picks in the draft right

Give me my espn deal now

Actually, I made every pick right and nailed every trade right on the money, except one pick...

I knew we'd trade for Stevie Johnson

Hehe

Didn't see the Ward pick coming.

Borland, Thomas, and Ellington were in most of my mocks. The Center pick wasn't a surprise either. I really thought we'd select Jeremy Hill instead of Hyde though. I have a feeling they were the top RBs for us and as soon as Hill went, we pounced. It could've went either way.

I really thought we'd draft Colvin and Fales. It looks like we wanted to maintain a physical presence in the secondary, which explains passing on Desir.

Overall I'm pleased. If Ward and any one of the CBs pan out, this could be a special draft.

Only thing I got right was Aaron Lynch, 1 round earlier though.

I got 95% of the positions right and 100% of the player (names) wrong

I drafted better for the Steelers than us

Well in one mock, I had Kelcy Quarles going in the 2nd round...and he went out as a UDFA.

So thank god my mocks didn't align with Baalke's selections.

I did very well last year in my predictions, but did not make a mock to back it up. Notably, I had us taking Reid, Tank, Lattimore, Patton. I tried to do a mock this year and spent hours trying to figure out where the niners would trade up/down. And who they really valued. If I would have finished it, it would have included us trading up 2x trade and trading back more than that. We would have a mid round 1st for 15-Pyror (S), top 2nd 34- Martin (C), Low second 56-Latimer(WR), 77*-Breeland(CB) and I sort of gave up after that. Much respect to those who are able to put good mocks out there.
