Post Bowl Pre New Years Mock Draft

ESWYoung08 · 2015-12-30T16:11:38-08:00

After seeing many mock drafts and prospect rankings I have come up with what I consider to be my ideal mock at this time. If I were Baalke this is what I would do. Offseason Moves: Re-sign Boone, Williams, Dawson, Celek Bring back Anthony Davis Get rid of Geep and put in a well versed in West Coast Offense OC who happens to have coached up some of the finest: Marty Mornhinweg Cut Kap, Skov, Simpson, Lemonier, Pears, Brooks F/A Tamba Hali OLB, Matt Forte RB, Alex Mack C. 1. Jared Goff QB CAL- Has the accuracy, confidence, and arm strength to become a long time starter. He will be determined to succeed in the Bay area he loves and will bring a spark of life to our offense again. 2. Joshua Doctson WR TCU- An acrobatic receiver with a great catch radius. Pairing him with Goff will create an incredible tandem for years to come. He would replace Boldin's role in our offense. 3. Jalen Reeves-Maybin ILB Tenn- Baalke has had luck getting linebackers in this round. I believe the streak would continue with Maybin who has the length, range, and tackling ability to be a quality starter. 4A. Anthony Zettel DT PSU- A versatile, high motor guy who could replace Tony Jerod Eddie and bring some stability to the rotational depth on the defensive line. 4B. Josh Ferguson RB Illinois- A 3rd down back that as far as I can tell doesn't have an extensive injury history. He would play the speedy check down role that Reggie Bush and before him Kendall Hunter played on our team when they were healthy. 5A. Antonio Morrison ILB Florida- Scouting reports say he is the undisputed leader of the Florida defense. With the lack of depth at inside linebacker, we double down on the position. At best he can beat Maybin for a spot. At worst he could be a quality special teamer. 5B. Tyler Johnstone OT Oregon- A classic Baalke selection that falls due to injury concerns, he played a pivotal role at left tackle for Oregon the past few years and could prove to be a solid tackle with a few years tutelage from Joe Staley and time in the weight room. 5C. Matt Ioannides DT Temple- Another versatile, high motor guy who could replace Tony Jerod Eddie and bring some stability to the rotational depth on the defensive line. Remaining picks to practice squad * = Re-signed + = Signed Roster: S: Reid, Bethea, Tartt, McCray (4) CB: Brock, Johnson, Reaser, Acker, Ward (5) OLB: Lynch, Harold, Carradine, Hali+ (4) ILB: Bowman, Hodges, Maybin+, Morrison+ (4) NT: Williams*, Purcell (2) DT: Dorsey, Armstead, Dial, Zettel+, Ioannidis+ (5) (24) QB: Gabbert, Goff+ (2) RB: Hyde, Davis, Ferguson+, Forte+ (4) FB: Miller (1) WR: Smith, Patton, Ellington, Smelter, Doctson+ (5) TE: McDonald, Bell, Anderson, Celek* (4) C: Mack*, Kilgore (2) OG: Boone*, Tiller, Thomas, Martin (4) OL: Staley, Davis*, Brown, Johnstone+ (4) (26) S/T: Pinion, Dawson*, Nelson (3) What do you guys think?

Love it! Only change that I'd make is not to double down on the ILB and instead draft a pass rusher.

Also, I think it's time to get rid of Boldin. I know this is not a popular choice but I think he's done. Time to start developing some young, speedy receivers. The more Boldin is on the field, the less a young buck can contribute.

Baalke can't draft Receivers for $#it. Keepin Bolden should be a priority

I like almost everything about this mock. My only complaints are that I don't see any reason to get Matt Forte because he will want to be paid like a starter, Baalke don't have luck getting LBs in the 3rd round he is a good LB evaluator and I think we could get a cheaper option than Alex Mack because without him we would already have a good OL and he will be too expensive.

Baalke only drafted 1 WR in the first 3 rounds and it was a bust but that doesn't mean he can't draft WRs.

Don't love the free agent acquisitions. We're not going to be good next year so I don't see the point of bringing in 30 year olds which will only hurt our draft position next year.

Would rather go after younger guys like Cordy Glenn, Alshon Jeffery, Von Miller, and Mohammed Wilkerson although Miller and Wilkerson are not likely to be unrestricted.

I love Boldin, but I want to see what our younger guys can do. If they never get the reps, they'll never grow to their potential. With a quality OC and QB, they'd have a chance to show more of what they did so impressively in college.

I was worried about Hyde being injury prone, we need top notch insurance and someone capable of taking chunks of reps to keep everyone healthy. I think Forte would realize that he'd be making a good deal to get starter money at his age to essentially split reps. Compared to other position starting money for a 30+ RB isn't that crazy, I would guess 3yr/15 mil would be a pretty good offer. If not, we re-sign Draughn.

I'd remove Forte. Wasted money, IMO.

Also, I don't see how Doctson could possibly fall to the 2nd. I know that's where he's being mocked, but he's my man crush and I think he'll soon be in the discussion as a the top WR prospect.

The young guys are more likely to command much higher payouts, I feel Baalke has with the exception of wide outs gone old on nearly all F/A I can think of. This may be a cap space saving move but I went with the notion that 30+ year olds can bring leadership and skills at a lower cost and with less leverage/drama akin to Boldin. We save the big contracts for our own guys, bring in guys with a love for the game that can bridge the gap in the meantime.

I'm worried about Doctson staying there, combine may very well change that. Forte has been on and off my mocks but I think his leadership, price, and talent would be hard to pass up given the health of our RB's this year.

I've debated getting no free agents and I am worried about my Homerism, so I figured since we have cap space we reinforce important positions with top level FA's that won't break the bank. Baalke got Borland and Bowman in the third. I'd consider them both quite talented and valuable given how few quality ILB's there are.

Goff would most likely sit and learn for a year or be eased in during blowouts.
