Mock draft from Bleacher report 24th Feb:

The Pick: Wide Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, Missouri

I wouldn't draft troubled Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham in the first round on Feb. 24 (my grade on him is still pending), but I'm willing to bet some NFL team will. And the San Francisco 49ers have a habit of accepting off-field issues for on-field results. That perfectly sums up DGB, a player who would easily be in my top 10 players if not for his checkered past.

The 49ers need speed at receiver, and in Green-Beckham they get 4.49 speed on a 6'5", 237-pound frame. That's not quite Calvin Johnson, but it's pretty damn close. Michael Crabtree isn't giving you that size or speed, and especially in the red area, that mix of explosion and length would be dangerous for the 49ers offense.

49ers, Pick 15: DORIAL GREEN-BECKHAM, WR

Junior, Missouri
With Michael Crabtree headed for free agency, and Stevie Johnson perhaps in line for a pay cut, the 49ers could use another receiving weapon at Colin Kaepernick's disposal. The defensive line could get the first-round attention under new coach Jim Tomsula, the team's former defensive line coach, but Green-Beckham has an intriguing blend of size and speed that could provide instant impact.

15. San Francisco 49ers -- Oregon DL Arik Armstead: The 49ers need to get younger on the defensive line and new coach Jim Tomsula will fall in love with a player like Armstead, who has impressive movement skills, length and potential in the mold of Calais Campbell.

15. San Francisco 49ers — Oregon DL Arik Armstead: He's a bit of a project, but new head coach Jim Tomsula typically gets the most out of defensive linemen, and the Niners need to start reloading there.

15. San Francisco 49ers: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Missouri Whoever decides to take Green-Beckham will have to be comfortable with his off-field issues and determine if he's a good fit for the offense. General manager Trent Baalke's staff is likely digging deep on DGB to see if his issues don't overshadow his talent and potential.

San Francisco 49ers: DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
The 49ers are really hurting for receiving help. Michael Crabtree, a huge disappointment this past year, will probably be gone this offseason. Anquan Boldin played well, but he can't possibly perform at a high level much longer. Stevie Johnson proved to be a bust. Receiver is one of the positions San Francisco will be targeting at No. 15.

DeVante Parker looked good at the NFL Combine, but he wasn't nearly as impressive as Kevin White. Amari Cooper is also still rated ahead of him, so Parker will likely be the third receiver off the board.

15. San Francisco 49ers — Arizona State WR Jaelen Strong

With Michael Crabtree set to hit free agency, Anquan Boldin and Brandon Lloyd reaching their mid-30s and Stevie Johnson dropping off in production, the Niners' receiving group needs some new blood. Bruce Ellington might surprise, but he's a 5-foot-9 slot receiver. The 6-2 Strong has some basketball-like skills and can be a front-line producer without possessing great long speed.

Oooo. I love all the Dorial Green-Beckham picks! If he's there at 15, I'd be running to the podium to turn that card in. Dorial Green-Beckham can possibly be our stud WR for the next decade if they manage him properly. The only reason he'll be there at 15 is because of character concerns. If he was clean cut, he'd be a top 10 pick, easily.

I can't see him getting picked before #15. I'm not convinced the 49ers would take him though.

I'm not convinced they will either. Who can be convinced of any pick for the 49ers? AJ Jenkins, Jimmie War? Lol. Yeah, we have no clue. I just hope they do pick Dorial Green-Beckham, because I have a lot of faith that he would do wonders on our team.
The NY Giants with Odell Beckham Jr. AND Amari Cooper?
Love the thread. If you wouldn't mind updating the OP, that would be cool.
