This mock seems realistic and very solid. Very practical. Some will say CB not addressed quickly enough, but I like it. Maybe CB was addressed last year.

I wonder if mocks should consider FB, given that Bruce Miller wasn't at the recent workouts. The Niners have Millard, but a backup might be needed, at least in camp.

I´m a fan of Millard.

If we decide to add another FB keep an eye on Falston Fowler Alabama in the 5th round or Hunter Joyer Florida / Joey Iosefa Hawaii in the 7th - UDFA range.

Well done DeUh! Only 2 of your picks we were not tied too thus far and you grabbed a couple more as UDFA's. I really like this draft!

PS: This is also a very Baalke-like draft too!

I could see that. I was actuallytthinking of doind something similar. If we took Collins and he didn't beat out Brandon Thomas then he could take over for Boone next year and vice versa. The only thing is I would probably swap Devin Smith for someone more physical. Anquan may be in his last year, and we need someone to take that role once he retires. With his arm injury maybe Jaelen Strong falls close to 46. At leat within range of a trade up. Lastly would anyone else find it funny that once Harbaugh moves on we finally take a Stanford player lol. Great job overall.

Not a fan of OL in the 1st....I don't see the need for OG in the top 15, really hope we go in a different direction there.

Love the Smith,Anderson,T Jones,and Roberts picks

Not sure how I feel about the M Jones pick...how many RBs are we gonna have active? Will he just get snatched up on the practice squad?

Solid mock!

Overall, my kinda draft.

My only issue is that I'm not sure Devin Smith is the right guy for us as he seems more like a duplication of Torrey Smith. I'm thinking we need someone (especially after Boldin retires) who has the skills/speed to get deep but can also be consistent in catching the short/intermediate routes and get YAC. The latter doesn't seem to be what Devin Smith is good at nor built for (IMO).

Everything else looks solid, especially grabbing Collins at 15.

Agree with you, especially about the Devin Smith selection. Maybe Jaelen Strong, Devin Funchess, or Tre McBriade is the right guy for us in the 2nd or 3rd round. Overall though, good additions to both lines, a thumper at MLB, and some secondary help looks good to me.

Strong, McBride (trade back in the 2nd for) or Dez Lewis (3rd round) would be a perfect compliment to Smith.

My problem with this draft if BAALKE was to do it this way is that it doesn't strengthen the secondary the way we need it right now. I think relying on Brock, Wright and Johnson would be a mistake throughout the season. Brock is 50/50 if he can stay healthy, not to mention I think is overrated as a starter. Wright gets toasted on a consistent basis. Johnson might be the only bright spot.

I liked Smith as a fit here, but that was before the Torrey Smith signing. Some height for the RDZ would be nice like Dunchess in the 2nd or 3rd and one of my favorites in addition to Funchess would be to add Vince Mayle in the 5th. Excellent possession receiver like Boldin, similar build.

Solid mock!

Think Anthony Dixon 2.0

Highly aggressive short-yardage thumper / pile-mover and core special-teams player.
