Right on que. NT is imploding over Brandon Lloyd, another "camp fodder" or "meh" or "mistake," etc. signing. This is nothing more than an insurance/competition signing. This is Baalke learning from last year's injury to Crabtree.

why did they not wait till after the draft to see who they got,, miss lloyd would have been available then and perhaps someone who actually played in the nfl last year and is younger who got released after june first.

Signing Lloyd to a cheap one year deal now doesn't affect any of our options later.

I hear you guys. But we didn't think much of Randy Moss either who ALSO was out of the NFL for a year before coming to us. We didn't really know what our offense was like then either so if we signed him today under the same circumstances, we'd think even less of him but as it turned out, he ended up playing way more than we anticipated and even helped provide a veteran presence and made some plays for us all the way through the Superbowl. So these little veteran moves could end up paying off for us if his heart is in it (a year off can do that for some; perspective). No doubt, like with Moss, the FO let him know he will NOT be a featured WR but is brought in to compete, earn a spot and if he makes the 53, he'll be counted on to be rarely used unless called upon (via package offense or d/t injury like with Moss). He's a bullpen player that could provide some key innings for us if needed. Nothing more. The earlier we get him in, the quicker he can learn our offense.

The one arguement for both Moss and Lloydd is that they know what it takes to make a team in the NFL and can teach some things about training to our young guys. Hopefully, he will be displaced by better talent by the end of training camp.

I think if anything, it sort of lends itself to the idea that Baalke doesn't want to be caught with his pants down again and not have a veteran backup WR like last year. What we fear is that this will end up being a Nnamdi-Cooper situation. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it but I'm willing to bet Baalke learned from that one as well.

Agreed. I'm all for bringing in competition and letting these guys duke it out in TC. But I hope we don't release a young talent for Lloyd if he doesn't impress. Reason being the Nnamdi-Cooper situation you mentioned. Fangio openly expressed doubt in Nnamdi's ability during TC, and at that point we should have stuck with the younger player who has growth potential.

Agree as well...they haven't been able to find decent let alone good WRs for back ups...so they need to throw pasta at the wall and see who sticks!

Haven't seen his name mentioned in any of these mocks but given the nature of our situation, what about drafting Von Noy??

It's tough. Before when the draft was in April, then the deadline for options would be after the draft, now it's before the draft. So whatever we decide for Aldon will tell us something. If we decline then we probably pick an OLB in 1st 3 rounds.

This is my view of the Lloyd signing as well, I think he is purely insurance in case of injury to Crabs or boldin. While I remember, it would be good for Crabs to actually have an off season training with Kaep, it's not happened yet!

Anyway, coming to the main thrust of the thread, I'm now curious as to how we will spend the draft picks. I had originally thought we might draft 2CBs and 2WR's, however the extension to Baldwin (who I think we may try to develop as a red zone target) and the signing of Lloyd makes me think we are unlikely to draft two WR's. I had envisaged a Kelvin Benjamin and Brandon Cooks arrangement where we sign a big body and a deep threat, Now I think we're more likely to go with a deep threat WR to take the top of the defense, and this ties in with Harbaugh's statement regarding a good look at our scheme. I see us playing a lot more 3WR sets and realistically I think that's going to be Boldin, Crabs, Patton, Deep Threat and Baldwin mixed in as big body target.

Staying with offense, I think we need to draft a guard. I've been unhappy with Iupati's pass blocking for most of 2013 and he also seems quite injury prone, I think he's probably too heavy for his body and stresssing the joints and ligaments too much leading to injury problems. Snyder is a serious drop off as seen in the NFCC where our run game disintegrated after Iupati went off.
We also need to draft a centre to compete with Kilgore and I think we're lucky this year in that there are some very good Centres available in a draft where not many teams are looking for one. I see no need to bring in another tackle, I think Martin and Marquardht have that covered.

I don't think we need a TE or RB thought I'd be tempted to burn a 7th on Colt Lyerla, if he's still there, on the basis that we cut him easily - however with all the off season drama from current players, I think the front office might just decide he's a headcase too far.

Onto the defense side of the ball, I am now convinced we need to draft 2CB's though, as Culliver is likely to face a suspension or potential jail time. He makes me more nervous than Aldon truth be told, and when we are this loaded with picks in such a deep draft for starting calibre CB's I think we will take a shot on one starter and one development prosepect. I don't think we will take a slot corner, I think Morris is going to get a shot at that, but it wouldn't surprise me if we took Verret.

I also think we're going to stash a Dlineman as you hinted at NCommand. Our defensive philsophy is obviously built on the front 7 and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see us take Tuitt or Easley and red shirt them for a year. As long as Fangio is our DC, expect us to make quality picks on the front 7 and if we can get some talent here, I think we could be looking at an incredible front 7 over the next few years. I think we're just missing one guy who can provide inside penetration/push or command a double team and really upset the pass plays.

I also think we'll take a safety but I think it will be a strong, box style safety, as opposed to someone more in the FS style. The hints regarding playing more single high looks and press coverage drives us towards this, particularly for as long as Wilson is at Seattle. Their game is predicated on play action so we need to be more than stout against the run.

Linebacker is harder to judge for me. I am confident in Skuta and Wilhoite, but is that enough depth? Fleming if healthy can probably cover both positions in a pinch and as such I find it difficult to spend a draft pick on someone who would only cover for a few games in the event of suspension to Aldon or until Bo gets back.

I'm still sticking with jump up drafting the best CB on Trent's board, then turning right around and jumping up again to get another starting CB. We would burn some picks to do it, but is trent really going to take a guy in his first 3 picks who won't make the squad? I doubt it, altho trent has been really stingy with his picks in the past, going up 15 spots for Reid...one helluva pick. I still say he does that for two CBs. Whatever WR we get, is going to be sitting the pine this yr, and probably the next, and so on. Watkins? sure, but we need CBs a lot worse. Plus we already had a WR throwdown last yr with 6 or 7 guys in camp as WRs. And what happened? One stuck. I think the same this yr. We will see late rd Wrs, and half a dozen UDFA WRs, and see if one makes it. But I don't see trent drafting somebody with his first three picks that won't start either this yr or next. This yr he has to have a starting CB for 2014.

As to Buchy's nice rundown, I think our 3rd pick would be a C, but only if he is a potential starter. And that may not happen if we burn two picks first as CBs. Like Buchy, Cully is the one apt to lose most playing time, IMO. But we'll see.

As for NC's comments on LLoyd as a back up for WR injury, ok, I get it. And our WR hx for injury has not been good as of late. I also see Vernon playing more WR in a 3 wide set with vance a TE target. It is just hard for me to see another WR when Patton is going to see some time this yr. Look at our hx. We virtually never take a WR who starts...and then continues to sit the bench. Finally, patton MAY get some time, but that ball is precious and there just aren't that many balls for anybody but #81, #15, #85, hopefully vance, and maybe Baldwin. And I didn't even add in patton. Exactly how many guys are we going to have to catch the 18-24 passes thrown each game? Certainly more than we have passes thrown.

Very nice post Buchy!

Right now, searching through the Draft and NT boards, the trend still appears to be:
Trending on NinerTalk - Top 5 Needs: H/W/S = Ideal Height/Weight/Speed; Would need to forfeit picks for Justin Gilbert & Mike Evans.
#1 CB/Dynamic Returner (Justin Gilbert @ #12 = H/W/S + Returner or Jeff Fuller/Jason Verrett)
#2 WR/Dynamic Returner (2) (Size: X - Mike Evans @ #16 or Donte Moncrief @ #66 = H/W/S or Y - Brandin Cooks @ #37 = Returner + S)
#3 S (Calvin Pryor, Hasean Clinton-Dix or Jimmie Ward from picks #27 - #33)
#4 ILB (Shayne Skov in the 2nd round (#56 or #61) or from the 3rd round on, Yawin Smallwood, Chris Borland, Andrew Jackson or Telvin Smith)
#5 C (Marcus Martin @ pick #71)

That said, I'm seeing more and more talk about DE & OLB as well. I'm going out on a limb Baalke-style and going with S Calvin Pryor for my guess as to who we'll nab with the #1 pick (so yes, there is your in-the-box SS with lots of potential/upside and who will have a year to learn under Bethea/Reid). Now, why S with the #1 pick? For starters, I think Pryor will fall to us w/o having to move up. Second, we're already set at WR and the two types of WR's we're looking at, one will be developed and red-shirted for a year and the other will be a speedster and used as a package WR and as a returner. And finally, the draft is deep in both of these types of WR's. At S, it's not deep and it's going to take a year or two to develop this S to start next to Reid in the future given all our press and off-coverages Fangio likes. And why not CB with the first pick? Fuller would be great if he fell to us but he won't most likely. And we can get a blue-chip CB with the 2nd pick and even have the flexibility to move up if needed. Do we need 2 CB's? Yes, but again, it's a deep draft so we can get a 2nd with the 3rd or 4th pick as well and develop him along.

As to your original thought on Kelvin Benjamin and Brandon Cooks, I was in this line of thinking as well as I feel we need a big-bodied WR for our offense as well as a dynamic swiss-army knife who has the ability to stretch the field and return kickoffs/punts (a glaring need of ours). I like your thoughts on Baldwin too as this is his last go-around and now he can build on the playbook and will have a full off season to get the X & Z positions down. If he pans out he could end up being our Benjamin or Moncrief (ideally). Let's be honest here...are fans really expecting a lot of 3+ WR sets? Hell no...it will still be the big 3 with Crabtree, Boldin and VD and some sprinkles of Patton and McDonald and Miller. Cooks and would add some more package sprinkles as well ala Harvin. And Lloyd is just insurance in case one of the veterans goes down and if he makes the team, he'll ride the pine and may jump in for a play or two. Nothing more.

I agree about the OL. I think Marquardt and Martin are going to surprise some and they will allow Boone to stay at RG (that's a big deal). I think Looney has an excellent chance to be a starter and he's already a primary backup at all three interior positions. I still think he'll push Kilgore at C too this offseason. So overall, I agree, we should look at a top C and G just to be safe with an added emphasis on pass protection and a heavy microscope over the C position.

Agreed on RB & TE as well. Coaches have already said they were very pleased with all that McDonald was able to digest in the blocking/formation/AR2 offense and that they now plan to integrate him more into the passing game. That said, I wouldn't expect more than a pass a game his way given the nature of our offense and the fact that we'll probably try to integrate Patton more into the offense. RB could be incredible with Lattimore, Gore and Hunter and don't count out Hampton either (PS stud).

I don't think there is any question we'll be searching for a top CB or two. I actually don't think anything will come from the Culliver case at all but either way, with Brock locking down the #1 and Bethea playing closer to the LOS with Reid in more single-high FS, we need epic competition for that #2 position and he'll need to be big, physical, aggressive at the LOS (and) have the ability (speed, quickness, IQ) to play within Fangio's off-coverage schemes as well. He'll need to be a very good tackler on that edge as well. Positions #3-5 are pretty well locked down so whoever we bring in will only add competition and strengthen the entire unit. We need to remember that what we need on the outside CB positions is different from nickle/dime and slot-play. This is a similar concept to the differences we need in the two WR's.

Yup, I've always been a fan of the 2-gap NT's who can clog up both A-gaps AND help collapse the pocket (step up lane d/t the outside rush). That said, we lean on one-gap NT's in Franklin, Dorsey, Williams, etc. That said, they did have Lamar Divens last year so keep an eye out for the development here and it sounds like plan to move Dial more to a tweener, DE and NT position as well on that strong side (McDonald's). I'm curious to see how far both Dial and Okoye has come along after being coached up by Tomsula for a year and a full off season/pre season. Everyone is stoked about Carradine naturally but taking another red-shirt DE with 1st round talent isn't a bad idea either!

Same here, not sure what to think of the ILB position. The theme this year s/b on "quality." We already have 95% o our starters set so we need to find guys who have the potential to push or earn starter positions with many others in the plans to develop for a year to start or push starters next year.

One thing I like to do pre-draft is to look at who we visit with. In the past, IIRC, there was a correlation to visits and draft day selections; as to what degree, I can't recall.

MM has done a fantastic job updating this information for us here: http://www.csnbayarea.com/49ers/2014-49ers-pre-draft-tracker

Let's take a look at NT's top 3 needs: WR, CB & S through the eyes of MadDog & AB81Rules's Big Boards: http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl-draft/178041-maddog-masters-edition-big-256-board-whole-enchilada/ & http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl-draft/176327-top-board-2014-nfl-draft-plus-positional-rankings/

Wide Receivers:
X & Z (Outside) Receivers:
--Mike Evans (6'5" 222)(Texas A&M): Met with 49ers at his pro day, March 5. - Projected to go around the 9th or 13th pick
--Kelvin Benjamin (6'5" 245) (Florida State): GM Trent Baalke attended pro day, March 19. - Projected to go around the 40th or 43rd pick
--Martavis Bryant (6'4" 201)(Clemson): Baalke attended pro day, March 6; private visit, April 14 (Bee). - Projected to go around the 47th or 73rd pick
--Paul Richardson (6'3" 204) (Colorado): Private visit, April 15 (Bee). - Projected to go around the 53rd or 91st pick

Y/Slot (Inside) Receivers:
--Odell Beckham (5'11" 194)(LSU): Met with 49ers prior to pro day, April 9. - Projected to go around the 14th or 33rd pick
--Kain Colter (6'0" 194)(Northwestern): Spoke at length to 49ers at pro day, March 4. - Projected to go as an UDFA or 246th pick
--Albert Wilson (5'9" 200)(Georgia State): Private visit, April 14. - Projected to go as an UDFA by both

Analysis: We pick 30th, 56th, 61st, 77th, 94th, 100th, 129th, 170th, 242nd, 243rd & 245th. We've talked about how we need two very different types of WR's here. First, we need the bigger-bodied WR's on the outside to help face press CB's and block in the run game/AR2 passing game and be groomed behind both Crabtree and Boldin for a year. But we also need a swiss-army-knife, smaller/quicker/faster inside WR who can help stretch the field and also be dynamic in the return game (he's a package WR in our offense). We have no shot at Evans or Beckham here unless we move up and forfeit a lot of picks. For the purpose of this post, let's stay pat. We have great shots in the second round for Benjamin, Bryant & Richardson. It appears if we don't move up and take someone like Cooks with the first overall pick, we'll look to the much later rounds for this type of WR which makes sense esp. in our offense.

Cornerbacks:
--Kyle Fuller (6'0" 194)(Virginia Tech): Harbaugh attended pro day, March 19. - Projected to go around the 20th or 40th pick
--Bashaud Breeland (6'0" 185)(Clemson): Baalke had dinner with him after pro day, March 6 (Draft Insider). - Projected to go around the 65th or 46th pick
--Stanley Jean-Baptiste (6'3" 220) (Nebraska): Interview at NFL Scouting Combine (BSN). - Projected to go around the 74th or 89th pick
--Jaylen Watkins (6'0" 187)(Florida): Baalke attended pro day, March 17. - Projected to go around the 87th or 92nd pick
--Marcus Roberson (6'0" 194)(Florida): Baalke attended pro day, March 17. - Projected to go around the 92nd or 47th pick
--Loucheiz Purifoy (5'11" 190)(Florida): Baalke attended pro day, March 17. - Projected to go around the 134th or 156th pick
--Aaron Colvin (6'0" 192)(Oklahoma): Private visit scheduled, TBA. - Projected to go around the 159th or 230th pick

Analysis: We pick 30th, 56th, 61st, 77th, 94th, 100th, 129th, 170th, 242nd, 243rd & 245th. Well, it's safe to say Baalke wants another 6'0" tall CB...at least. It really does seem like we'll be playing more press this year along with a single high-FS. The second and third round seems to really open up for a number of these CB's here. Like with the WR's, we need outside CB's as well as inside. We could use another slot CB to compete with Morris as well as a blue-chip CB to compete with Culliver and Wright for the #2. Slots #3-5 are pretty well locked up with the loser of the #2 battle (plus Culliver & Wright), Cox, Cooper, Swanson and Morris.

Safeties:
--Calvin Pryor (5'11" 207)(Louisville): Formal interview with Harbaugh and coach Ed Donatell at NFL Scouting Combine. - Projected to go around the 23rd or 39th pick
--Marqueston Huff (6'0" 195)(Wyoming): Formal interview at Combine (BSN). - Projected to go around the 198th or 111th pick

Analysis/Overall: We pick 30th, 56th, 61st, 77th, 94th, 100th, 129th, 170th, 242nd, 243rd & 245th. I have a sneaking suspicion that Pryor is not only going to fall to #30 but that he will be our #1 overall pick. Our WR's are set with veteran depth now in Patton, Baldwin, Lloyd and Osgood should either Crabtree or Boldin go down, not to mention VD played mostly WR last year and McDonald can now slide into his receiving role this year at TE (as noted by the coaching staff this off season). So, a developing red-shirted 2nd rounder seems most plausible here for us. Our utility WR can be found all over the map this year as well and Patton with his 4.4 speed may be incorporated more into that Y/slot/utility spot as well.

So overall, in reality, we need competition at the #2 CB spot and a developing big-bodied WR outside and a utility WR with dynamic return abilities but at S, we only have Dahl and Spillman behind Bethea and Reid. While both are excellent ST players, neither seem the type to be able to step in for either as a starter should Reid or Bethea go down. It's going to take a year or two to develop the S next to Reid either in 2015 or 2016 d/t the complexity of the position. So, my best guess is we go Pryor, then CB-WR, whichever type is BPA (inside or out positions) and we'll probably do that again with our 4th and 5th picks as well. We might see a top C or ILB thrown in there as well. In short, I don't think we even need to move up this year but if Baalke has a Reid-like crush to seriously compete for the #2 CB position, he may do just that but it will be for a CB such as Fuller, giving up minimal picks to do it.

Nice read, NC, and good analysis.

Its difficult to predict what Baalke's gonna do, but I think you've identified the issues and made an excellent prediction of what might happen.

Man, its hard to wait an extra couple of weeks!

Thanks NC...interesting list of guys. I can see them going with Pryor at #30 if he falls to them. There are so many good CBs and WR in this draft that those needs could be filled in the second or third rounds. Walter draft has Pryor going 17th and the guys from CBS all have him going #20 or earlier, and you have indicated a trade...what sort of trade do you anticipate? I know this is wild conjecture at this point but I really can see Baalke moving up as he did last year, so I'm curious on your thoughts.
