I love the draft. The first six picks are knocking it out of the park. I don't know anything about the guys after that.

I'm not a huge fan of Devin Smith but he could work out for us if the new coaches actually put him on the field... unlike Moss and SJ13. I'd rather have , Jalen Strong, Dorsett, or Lockett though. Even Justin Hardy in the 3rd or 4th.

Coleman is a beast. Best RB in the draft IMO.

Good idea to grab a solid corner from the All-ACL team. We can get by this year even if we lose Cox or Cully because Ward, Johnson, Reaser, and Acker should be enough.

That said, when was the last time someone gave up a 1st and 2nd to move up to 15 in the draft? We went from 31 to 18 to grab Reid and only had to give up a 3rd to Dallas. I highly doubt we get a second from anyone.

Also, Thanks for not taking a linebacker. So many people think we need one for some reason. Even without Brooks we have too many.
Great mock

This would be a monster off-season. The only pick I'm not a fan of is Smelter, but overall good off-season!

I want to make sure I read it right, you have SF trading down for Davis which gave us the second 2nd round pick?

Okay that's what I thought. So who do you think might be a trade partner? Also what are you thoughts of Jay Ajayi? I really like this kid

Nice mock, although I'm not sold on Davis at 15.

Also, I doubt the 49ers will be able to trade Brooks, even for a 6th rounder. He is more likely to get cut considering his age, salary and disciplinary problems last season.
I also think we need to add a legit pass rushing OLB earlier on.

Love this mock... we need speed and a disruptive DL... very nice all around.
Almost went off on Davis at 15, but then I saw that you traded back, which I assume into the mid-20's in the 1st, which is a good pick up.

After seeing that, you're draft would be awesome! I'm a big Armstead fan, but after the combine and seeing more videos of the DL prospects, I find Davis to be a killer prospect and could be the transition player for Cowboy we've been looking for. As much as I like Tank, he plays more like RayMac did in our system, leaving the huge role that Cowboy did for Aldon Smith's success. Davis can fill that role and get Aldon back to his QB-terrorizing role in our defense.

The Indiana RB I don't know much about, but he seems to be getting high marks all around both online and with TV analysts. I like Langford personally (and have a draft crush on Duke Johnson), but if Coleman is the HR threat ppl say he is, then it should be a no-brainer based on size/speed/health history over the other two options. I also love the Ifo Ekpre-Olomu pick, he'll be our "steal" if we get him in the 4th.

With Chaz Green and Ali Marpet, you provide depth and a good swing tackle fix (although Marpet I think will need time to adjust more than anticipated with). And the Smelter pick could become a killer pick up with his athleticism, but will take time for route development (one HUGE positive for him is that he's a spectacular run blocker, which in our offense is a requirement).

My only knock on this draft is Devin Smith. I can't complain about it if we get him in the mid-2nd, but is he just going to be running seam routes every time he plays? His speed was found wanting at the Combine, but his pro-day will have to be his saving grace. Only change I'd prefer is if you get the trade, the players in the 2nd could be switched, either keep Coleman or Jaelen Strong with first 2nd rounder, and get Duke Johnson/Nelson Agholor with the 2nd pick (depending on who we picked with the first 2nd round pick). Both Strong/agholor shined in career stats and put up same 40's (or better) than Devin's.

Overall, did like it overall and wouldn't complain if it ended up that way
