Our Needs:
1a) S: a true ballhawk that can step in and contribute right away.
1b) DT: we need to get some push from the interior line.
1c) WR: one who can take over a game.
2) DE: I'd like to get someone who can come in on passing situations, pin his ears back and create havoc in opponent's backfields.
3) O-line: We need the next gen at most spots.
4) QB: Bradlee Van Pelt cannot remain our only other option. Either we take a guy that can step in at #2 as insurance or draft a bit of a project that can truly be molded into our next starter.
5) RB: Just because we don't NEED a franchise back, doesn't mean we should go without one.
I don't see any true #1 WR in this draft. I say we hold off on trying to draft such a guy until next year. Other than that, I think we could hit up that list pretty good. Check it out, my ultimate wishlist:
1st Round A) Darnell Bing, S, USC
If he can just stay healthy he could be a star.
1st Round B) Claude Wroten, DT, LSU
He had issues off the field, but Shanahan has shown no fear and this guy is just what we need.
2nd Round) Greg Eslinger, C, Minnesota
Best center in the draft in my opinion, but some won't think so because of his lack of size. He fits right in to our system too.
3rd Round) Daryn Colledge, OT, Boise State
Another guy that is undervalued because of size. He's awfully good though.
4th Round A) Jerious Norwood, RB, Mississippi State
Underrated athelete that has all the makings of a star. He's got great speed and very nice size. Behind our line he could go off.
4th Round B) Mark Setterstrom, OG, Minnesota
Completing the trifecta of drafting a lineman at each position, the future upfront would be secure for a long time to come.
5th Round) D.J. Shockley, QB, Georgia
I love this guy as a pro prospect. With Plummer as our starter for a few more years, he could watch, learn and develope under the wing of Shanahan.
6th Round) Chris Gocong, DE, Cal Poly
Amazing stats even if it was against third rate opposition. He might just be one dimensional (pure pass rusher) but that's what we need. Could be a steal this late.
That is a boatload of potential, my friends. I would love that draft. If we could trade Bell for a future third rounder and another low pick in this draft I'd really like to get Garrett Mills, FB/TE, Tulsa. A WR would be nice somewhere. Once we get our comp picks I'll project one.
