Way to hammer the point home by repeating yourself.

It's highly unlikely we pick it early now. Plus I think we shouldn't based on our other needs. People need to stop viewing this 1 WR thing as a guy who will single handedlly and magically change the whole team. It's just not true. Plus we have bigger needs and holes right now.

You said that already. So, here's a question. What would you do with the #15 pick? Pick or trade back for more choices? If the Niners keep the pick, who would you choose? Would love to hear what you have to say.

Danny Shelton, Trae Waynes, Shayne Ray, Melvin Gordon, Alvin Dupree, Eddie Goldman.

I would be happy with any of those. Some you may have to trade up a few slots for and some would be better to trade down a few slots for and pick up another draft pick. I would say we could deal up to say 11 or down to 20 or stay put at 15.

Now with day from Hell changing some plans I think we need to trade back unless someone that cannot be passed on falls to us at 15. The extra picks could help with the lack of depth that has been talked about along the front 7 and other possitions. Without one glaring need, best player available is the way to go.

Ok.... lol mlb is not a need if willis retires. Borland, bo, wilhoite, and moody... and dL we have dockett Dorsey dial and tank... we can use depth there.. but everyone is overreacting. Gore is not going to produce this year like hyde would. Ol. Is still the biggest need

I hope so. His pass blocking can't be much worse.

I don't think OL is a first round need now either.
Staley, Thomas, Kilgore/Martin, Boone, Davis with Martin/Kilgore, Farrell, Looney, and maybe J. Martin as backups. We can use depth and if one of the top guys slides to 15 it would be a good pick but I wouldn't expect anyone from this draft to start.

I'd go WR, CB, OLB, or DL in the first.

I can see Baalke taking a WR in 4th/5th Rd - Tre McBride, Stefon Diggs, Dezmin Lewis, etc.

Nice list. I don't think Ray will be available outside of the top 10, but the rest should be.
