TheDraftReport
Marcus Hardison wasn't on many people's radar heading into this season, but he has exploded onto the scene with 10 sacks this season.
Hardison was active for most of the day against Duke's above average offensive line. Hardison lined up all over the place, but was predominately at the defensive end position. Hardison did his best work against the run where he could utilize his stellar hands and strength to shed blockers and get to the ball. He was able to knife through into the backfield on several occasions, while also showing the be ability to read and react to runs by stacking and shedding at the line of scrimmage.
Hardison is an extremely versatile defensive lineman who can fit in multiple fronts. He has the size, technical knowledge and athletic ability to fit as a 5-technique defensive end in a 3-4 or a 3-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3. He does a great job of hand fighting and disengaging off blocks, while showing considerable burst for a man his size.

DeUh,
Doesn't including both Miller and Millard in the final 53 commit the offense to power running? Personally I'd like to see more one back offenses or putting in two running threats on the field like the Roger Craig and Wendall Tyler days--for instance, Hyde and Coleman.

Actually I view Milliard as a TE/H-Back. It should be interesting to see how they plan to utilize him next season. I put him at FB because he is listed as a FB on the Niners depth chart at this point.

Very good job man, very detailed. I would hate to see us lose Cox though.

I hope and think Millard will become a TE...basically a Delanie Walker type..if my hopes come true he shows so much to where he passes Carrier then takes Mcdonalds spot as our number 2 TE..kind of getting
tired McDonald..

Thanks DeUh,
Your ideas I fully support. Taking offense the first four picks is what I'd like but it might piss of the defensive coordinator. Usually, Baalke is fairly balanced in his picks. But if ever there was a year to select heavily for the offense it's coming off this year's disaster of an offense.

Love the Coleman pick. IMO Tevin Colman will be the best of the bunch in this star-studded draft class. The RB position has defiantly lost its shine but there are several teams that are learning life is tough in the NFL if you don't have a good one. I could see a early run on RB's if two or three come off the board in first 20 picks.

Agreed. We would have Gore, Hyde and Hunter. Do we need a 4th string RB with our 2nd rd pick. We have needs in the OL and the DL.

Nice mock draft, love your posts! One thing though, how realistic of a possibility is it to get Kevin White at our spot?
White and Parker are the most ideal WR for the team, but in a lot of other draft projections they are both picked by Browns and Vikings respectively, especially if the former gets rid of Gordon. Parker is constantly linked to the Vikings partly because of that Bridgewater connection. A number of mocks even have the Rams picking White. Jets and Dolphins could also be possibilities. Both of their stocks could really rise over the offseason and be just out of our reach.
If both are gone, what would be the ideal pick for WR at #15? Strong is intriguing and a great playmaker. There are comparisons of him to Colston, but I can also see Alshon Jeffrey and a younger Boldin in his game especially if we can find a good WR to develop him. Not a burner but he seems to have good enough breakaway speed. Also read he has a great work ethic, instincts, and high football IQ to more than make up for the lack of speed.
Greene looks good too. Not sure about Coates unless once again we can find a good WR coach. There are plenty of deep threats we can get later who can at least be a good #2 or #3. Just hoping we can finally find our true #1 WR.
Don't forget Ty Montgomery. Very underrated due to poor play from his QB. Has first round talent IMO.

Joe Paterno (former coach)
Jared (Odrick) is a leader. He practices hard. He even played hurt. He practiced hurt. He is a big time player.
2014 Pro Football Focus Stats
Jared Odrick: + 9.0 Overall Grade (+ 7.3 rush, + 1.0 run), 24 tackles, 18 qb hurries, 9 qb hits, 1 sack, 19 stops.
T.Jerod-Eddie - 13.0 Overall Grade (- 4.6 rush, - 9.5 run), 14 tackles, 16 qb hurries, 1 qb hit, 0 sacks, 10 stops.

If no one jumps in front of us I think there is a real chance that Kevin White is on the board when we pick.
A lot of the teams ahead of us have a real need for a QB, Pass Rusher, OL, BPA on Defense, maybe even RB. I would be surprised if neither Cooper, Parker or White make it to 15
Nonetheless IF all 3 are gone here are a few other ones I´m interested in (NOT at 15):
Rashad Greene
Justin Hardy
Jaelen Strong
Sammie Coates
Vince Mayle
DeAndre Smelter
*not sure if D'haquille Williams and Dorial Green-Beckham are gonna declare, torn on Funchess
What is your overall assessment and opinion on Strong? I think he's got potential and upside as well, especially as a #1. We could then get a deep threat/returner like Dorsett, Devin Smith, or Bell etc. later on.

1. Perrish Cox is also a UFA. Let Walk -> Not Re-Sign.
2. There is no way Leonard Williams makes it to our pick or even remotely close. Zero chance. It´s a s**tty class to have a need for a 3-4 DE Day1 starter IMO. That´s why I went the FA route with this mock.
3. No I did not forget Kendall Hunter. Healthy he is one of my favorite player on the roster. But after 2 severe injuries I woudn´t bet my season or future on him. Tevin Coleman is the real deal and every bit as fast as Hunter. He is powerful, has crazy explosiveness, vision, can catch and ran for over 2,000 yards behind a weak OL when everyone knew what was coming. They simply coudn´t stop him
A Hyde/Coleman combo behind a healthy OL. Watch out.
4. Jarvis Harrison is not just a OG. If needed he can easily play Tackle. In fact he did exactly that this season. He played LT vs Missouri and went up against Shane Ray (a top talent pass rusher in this class) and looked more than solid.
Here is the OL for my 53 Man Roster Projection
OT: Joe Staley, Anthony Davis, Jermey Parnell
OG: Alex Boone, Brandon Thomas, Joe Looney, Jarvis Harrison
C: Daniel Kilgore, Marcus Martin
I like that.
5. Yeah I saw that too. I can guarantee you that will change over time. Still early in the draft process.
6. I don´t see any TE in this class that would give us a significant upgrade over what we already have. If Maxx Williams really makes it to the 3th round count me as interested. But as a blocker Vance eats him alive. Virgil Green (Broncos) is a FA I like.
7. Here is a short list of available DL in FA
Stephen Paea
Nick Fairley
Jared Odrick
Kenrick Ellis
Tommy Kelly
Cory Redding
Allen Bailey
Alan Branch
Leger Douzable
Kenrick Ellis
CJ Wilson
Cedric Thornton
Ricardo Matthews
*in no particular order
I am a big fan of Stephen Paea. What do you see in Odrick that gives him the advantage in your eyes?

As I wrote in his thread I would love to see him in Red and Gold next season. What I like are his hands and his body control. I also think that he is a little faster than he gets credit for.
Needs to sharpen up his route running.
I currently have him with a 1st - 2nd Round Grade and with the right WR Coach I´m very interested.
