With the 11th Pick in the Draft…

draft2.jpgThe NFL draft order has been set, sort of. The draft order for the teams that missed the playoffs have been determined and the 49ers have landed the 11th spot overall. There should be both good defensive and offensive players around the 11th spot. A few names that will come up will be Gaines Adams, LaRon Landry, Alan Branch, Patrick Willis and Ted Ginn Jr.

The Oakland Raiders get the no. 1 pick overall.

    (In reference to Don)

    I go to san jose state and was a walk on. Dwight Lowry is staying for his senior year. very good corner though, I agree

    Wow I’m a retard, and you say I not an NFL Scout. No I’m not. I was simply giving my opinion, but thank you for thinking I was.

  3. I agree dwayne jarrett is a jackass.he could easily end up like t.o. plus I think it wont matter because he’ll get taken before we get him

  4. do you think we could end up with jeff samardzija?he’s bamf

    DAWAYNE JARRET SIMPLE ANSWER TO OUR OFFENSIVE SUCCESS NEXT YEAR

  6. jim says:

    DAWAYNE JARRET has the ability to turn the 49ers into an offensive power house

  7. K BONE says:

    jim give it up on dawayne jarret,he’s a good reciever but he’s arms are too small and he has no class.

    Agreed, DJ is the flavor of the month. We’ll sww how he translates later. We still have a couple recievers to develop and I’m sure we’ll pick up someone with all of the picks we have. There are sooo many good recievers in the draft, not just DJ.

  9. baaqi says:

    Duh we need a Punter, and a kiker the other round picks can be traded for someone like jeremy stevens

    I feel Laron Landry would be the best player for us to secure up the weakest part of our defense, the secondary. He has the potential to be an Ed Reed type defender and would have some solid veterans around him to help develop hiis skills. B.Y. is an excelent defensive leader and think about how key having Derek Smith and Ulbrich in the middle with Brandon Moore developing as he has. He could be a great playmaker because from what ive seen this year, a lot of the big runs on our team was due to our linebackers taking out blockers and then it would come down to the dbs having to make tackles. Mike adams would get run over, and mark roman was horrible in my opinion and chad williams is more of a tackler and keith lewis looks great as a run stuffer and amazing blitzing off the edge and looks more like a natural outside linebacker to me and is terefic on special teams. Now my supremely crazy idea is the consideration of Randy Moss, hes most likely not going to be a Raider, and i feel that with Coach Jerry Sullivan, the best WR coach in the leauge in my opinion, and Coach Nolan who in my eyes has done a wonderfull job in getting players on track and their heads out of their asses, could get his Mojo back giving is a WR that strethes the field, a TE that is a beast period that can do the same, wich would open up the possession routes for Antonio Bryant and Arnaz who can run off the catch and not to mention Gore sneaking out of the back field but I know, it sounds nutz but no one else has said anything about it so I thought i might bring it up. Use the rest of the pics for depth on D. Hows that?

    We need a Safety, but if Landry isn’t available, we should NOT draft Nelson. Drafting Nelson with the 11th pick would be a waste. With a draft pick that high, we should be after an elite college talent, and Nelson’s college numbers don’t have top 12 pick written on em’. Another need we have is at WR. Calvin Johnson will be gone by the 11th pick, so that leaves us with the opportunity to draft Ginn Jr. and Jarrett. Again, if we can’t get either Johnson or Jarrett, then we shouldn’t go WR with our 1st pick. WR is one of the toughest positions to make the transition from college to the NFL and Ginn Jr. needs further development to be considered an elite prospect. Jarrett and Johnson have shown in college that they have the ability to be game changers. Settling for Ginn Jr. just because he’s the best WR available and because he might have the ability to someday be a #1 WR isn’t enough to pick him at #11. It would be better for us to go with guys like Adams or Anderson at DE, Branch or Okoye at DT, and Hall at CB. The combine will decide how attractive these guys end up being, but this is who I think we should go after (in order from best to worst). Johnson, Jarrett, Landry, Branch, Hall, Adams, Anderson, Okoye. Any one of these guys will help us tremendously. But the combine will dictate a lot so let’s be patient.
