I see all these Mocks with all these trades which may or may not be realistic... I feel like there arent any players at #4 that teams will want to trade up for.  So this will have no trades in it.... and i wont be doing a mock FA either, I just dont know enough about all the FA players to be able to make those particular assumptions.  Also I realize that I have only defensive players in my draft, maybe it makes it unrealistic, i just feel that there isnt much we can do to our Offense until we really know how it will perform (we dont know where the holes are yet).

I will assume that, with our team having 25+ million dollars in cap space that we may go after a top talent OL and depth at OL, and most likely a solid starter at NT and DT

And now for the draft...

1. Demarcus Milliner CB Alabama
Obviously our entire secondary played horribly last year, Milliner ran very well at the combine which really was my only concern with him. should be a great shut down CB for us

2. Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida International
He's been compared to Brian Dawkins, played extremely well at the Senior Bowl. Replaces some of the trash in our safety positions

3. Darius Slay CB Mississippi State
Not really noticed as much in Mississippi because of Banks, but he covered very well, and ran well at the combine (unlike Banks). May not be an immediate starter but provides great competition at CB

4. D.J. Swearinger FS South Carolina
Not sure if he'll even make it here.... I've seen him projected all over the place from 1st round - 4th round. cbssports.com is what im using for prospect rankings so he "should" be here.... Competition at Safety for Nate Allen (or anyone we add in FA)

5. Kwame Geathers NT Georgia
we just released 2 DTs and we need a NT for our new defensive scheme, assuming we get a starter in FA, Geathers will be in the rotation at NT

6. Michael Buchanan DE/OLB Illinois
Depth at the Predator position incase our current DEs cant make the transition.

7. Cornelius Washington OLB Georgia
Georgia player that got lost in the film because of his pedestrian stats and all the other Georgia players that are higher projected. Combine machine, just a project player that showed potential

7. Jeff Locke P UCLA
Powerful kicker, great power on kick offs... comes in to challenge at Punter


Incase anyone is wondering i read somewhere that we have 2 7th round picks. Depending on where you get your projections some of these guys may not even make it to where i have them, let me know what ya think.

Rip away :)

I wouldn't mind this, but I don't think the first three picks will all go to the secondary

And Mayock said Buchanan is a 3-4 round prospect, but I see him going in the 4th, not the 6th

ya i know its sorta unlikely, i just felt those were the best players to help us right now
and ya Buchanan is projected in diff places depending on where you go lol

as we agreed in a random one i made, no mock is realistic.

solid draft but has any team ever taken 4 straight defensive backs? that would be crazy lol

like the two UGA picks

lol im desperate for a secondary hahaha

We did 3 in a row once - 2002 - Lito sheppard, Sheldon Brown, Michael Lewis.  So it's not unheard of.

That said, I don't see it happening.  I think we go rusher in either 1 or 2.

All in all, though, It's not a bad draft.  I'm not sure about Milliner though.  Something about him that doesn't ring well with me.

i was kinda like you on Milliner, but really my only prob with him was i wasnt sure about his speed... but he ran well at the combine so i feel better about it

[BirdGang45]

Dont like the milliner pick but good mock.

Love Buchanan, looked good at the combine.

49ers played three rookies in the year Ronnie Lott was drafted. If the front office deem the best players available at that time are all in the secondary then so be it. Rome wasn't built in a day and it will take us at least one season of rebuilding to get close to the playoffs again.

I agree.  I wouldn't mind a bad season and another top pick next year to keep building

ya any of them would be nice... though if Vick or Dixon or Foles dont work out in our offense then Manziel or Bridgewater would be best
