Sorry to see this, but we understand.


If anyone not currently participating wants to step up and take the NFCN, raise your hands. Otherwise, we would have to make those picks as a group, or I would just make it myself after enough time passes.

Last couple of depressing picks updated. SF is OTC... make us proud!

Chiefs are looking to trade back from upcoming pick # 18 overall. Let me know if interested.

I'll take the NFCN

At this point based on how the draft is going, I'd say the nines should either trade back or select the top offensive lineman

Detroit at #23 is interested depending how the next few picks play out.

... and yeah, let me know.. I would only be asking for your 3rd rd pick for you to move up.

The San Francisco 49ers select Dorial Green-Beckham with pick #15.

I will be shocked if on the actual draft day, at 2-3 olinemen, Landon Collins and/or at least one unexpected pick aren't taken in the top 15, pushing a WR, DL, or Waynes down to us. (Or if one of the top two Olinemen is left, we could easily go that direction as well.)

The mocks here favor WR and DL because most on the board are focused on those positions as areas of need for the Niners. And fans react to combine numbers much more severely than NFL teams, (Minus the Al Davis Raiders), so guys like Beasley and Waynes, who were viewed as very likely to be available at 15 are now considered "sure" to be gone.

But the draft never falls in line with mocks and expectations completely. At least a couple of the top 10 type talents at positions of need should be available when we pick. But even given that, it will be no surprise if Baalke goes another direction anyway. So, it almost doesn't matter if they are there or not, because I will fall over in shock is Baalke actually picks someone fans and pundits have targeted as a "likely" pick.

I disagree that this is a case of fans overreacting to combine numbers in Beasley's case. Beasley is widely viewed as a top 10 prospect by draft experts as well as casual fans because he put on a lot of weight and maintained his quickness. On the field, he's a monster pass rusher and the only question with him was his size and strength which he answered. Every mock draft I've seen recently has the four pass rushers gone by the time we pick. It's possible that either Parker or Waynes make it to 15. I would be surprised if Landon Collins goes top 15 and this equally surprised if 3 offensive lineman go before our pick in a class this weak.

I'm in agreement with a few others that there is a dropoff in talent after the top 10 players, so I would be surprised to see even one of them available at 15. It won't be White or Cooper given the number of teams that need WR's who pick before us, but Shelton could be there at 15.

Good Pick!

At pick #15 you should be able to get a starter. The only 2 positions on the 49ers with an opening for a rookie are WR and CB.

For me it would of been DGB or J. Collins

We will see. It is very rare to go 3, let alone 4 deep at a position, and especially multiple positions before 15. It does happen, but very rarely. Given that 2 QBs are all but a sure thing to be gone, I'll be surprised if someone from the Parker, Waynes, (pick a DL/Pass rusher), group doesn't fall. Plus, someone "everyone" has as a pick 15-20 or later guy, will go in the top 15. It always happens. Someone falls in love with a guy and drafts them half a round earlier than where the pundits project.

I agree the Beasley should be a top 10 talent, I like him a lot. But pre-combine, some were saying he was a reach at 15. Similarly, at one point people would have been thrilled to see Dupree available at 15, now he's considered by many a late round pick. It comes and goes for mocks. The real draft always has surprises, so at least a couple "top 10" guys are likely to be there at 15.

Win with class.

16. Houston selects Byron Jones CB UConn.
