I think the 2016 draft class as a whole will be much better than 2015...Baalke is no dummy and we should be getting around 12 picks.

Rotoworld just did a mock and had us taking Laquon Treadwell WR Old Miss.

That injury was awful, but if he comes back strong he has a chance to be one of the top WRs, he reminds me of Dez. I wouldn't mind grabbing OT or CB either.

And it will be considered a reach by the zone...should have taken a WR or a CB.

QB - Cook will not be a first rounder when all is said and done..

Bosa - as good as he is, he may end up behind Nkemdiche if he decides to come out..

Day - just really reminds me of Danny Shelton..

Calhoun - will be comared to Aldon Smith because of his explosiveness

Cardale Jones - should stay in school because he has JaMarcus' trait all over him..

Gunner Kiel - Jimmy Clausen all over again...

My wishlist already consists of Hargraves and Myles Jack, both of which I think will be stars in the league and both positions of need for us. Vernon will be a top 5 pick though when said and done, so I don't want him cause I want to pick at #32

Will be interesting, if we do struggle, and Tank Carradine doesn't show much, I would love either Bosa or Nkemdiche. Also am high in Vernon Hargreaves III, but those 3 are Top 5 picks IMO, but a lot can change.

Also love Laquon Treadwell from Ole Miss at WR, also Boyd from Pitt, and D'haquille Williams of Auburn.

I'm excited to see what Jack can do when he moves inside this season.

If Kaepernick struggles this season and can't shake it by week 10 do the 49ers draft a QB high perhaps in the 2nd round again??
