No way he falls to the second. He will be picked right outside of the top ten. Right now we are in the perfect posyion to draft him.

Why? We already have Tank and Dial. Is Dline really as big a need as an offensive play maker?

Ray mac gone J.Smith unclear for next yr tank doin ok but still not sure Dial nothing special as of yet after that we have a bunch of nothing special playerz .... IMO we need help on D-line we just spent a 2nd N 3rd round pickz on tha O-line last draft ....

Maybe Trent Baalke can make some magic happen in free agency again at DE. Not a big name signing, but a guy that could come in and revive their career. That would give us another veteran at DE while the younger guys continue to develop. Although I'll be honest, I have no qualms about just rolling with Dial and Carradine next season, along with another pick (3rd round). Why so low? I want an instant starter at receiver and a playmaker at running back.

I think Dial will be a very good DE when our NTs are back. I think Tank can apply good pressure from the inside on passing downs. Dorsey came into the league as a 3-4 DE. I think a starting line of Dial-Williams-Dorsey, backed up by Tank, TJE, and ... Okoye (!!) looks pretty good to me. Depth could use a little work, but we're probably not carrying more than 6 or 7 DL.

They played Dorsey as a 4-3 DT and 3-4 DE. But hasn't he played his best football at NT for us? If could switch Dorsey to 3-4 DE and he still can play up to the level of RayMac, I'd go with Danny Shelton in the first to compete with ian Williams for the starting job, and take Ty Montgomery or Sammie Coates in the second.

If we go receiver in the first, if Kevin White isn't available, then I'm torn between DeVante Parker and Jaelen Strong.

I like Strong, I feel like he gets more separation than Parker and although people question his speed, he gets open deep, and I rarely see people catch him. His hands are ridiculous, he high points the ball and he uses his size really well.

I know WR is a risky position to draft but I find it very hard to imagine Strong being a bust.

Neither one of those Guys have "taking the top off speed" they are just what we ALREADY have,possesion WRs....perfer a Deandre Smelter or DGB, or Sammie Coates orAmari Cooper or Phillip Dorsett, or a tyyler lockett or a combination of any 2 my choice would be Smelter and Coates...Smelter is a Playmaker for sure.

You won't find a bigger fan of Phillip Dorsett on this board than me. However we're talking about our first round pick. We are not talking Smelter, Lockett, Coates, or Dorsett with our first round pick. Amari Cooper is out of our reach.

Michael Crabtree is gone and Anquan Boldin is likely gone after 2015. I don't think its crazy to get either White, Strong, or Parker and then come back to the position in the 3rd/4th and pick up Smelter, Dorsett, or a Lockett type. We get our receiver with elite speed, we get a guy that has the ability to start immediately, and still have guys like Patton and Ellington in the mix. I could even do a trade down and picking up Ty Montgomery in the second and Dorsett later on.

Not a big fan of Parker. I think he can be a decent possession guy but not the type of player this offense needs.

I've watched a lot more film (more like highlights videos ) on Parker and I have to say my initial opinion of him being a taller Crabtree was very wrong. This guy is a redzone weapon and can catch anything in his area. One-on-one, you better be Richard Sherman or Revis to stop him. I'm not sure who to compare him to though. Maybe a smaller Brandon Marshall? A taller Anquan Boldin? Idk but all I know is he's top 15 value and I want him to be our #1 WR in the future (unless we get Cooper or maybe White)
