Thinking outside the box
After reading this article Oakland Trib Article where Vernon Davis suggests he could play WR I started thinking that it might be in the 49ers best interests to draft TE Zach Miller out of ASU. I'll admit that I'm biased about Miller because I attended ASU and have followed his career closely but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. We could use both Miller and Davis at TE when we decide to use the TE set. When we decide to use only one TE we could line up Davis at WR and Miller at TE. The other reason I believe this could be a good idea is others have stated there isn't much difference between the WR's in round 3-7 as those that will be taken in rounds 1-2 so we could use one of our later picks to draft a WR. Does anyone else think this would be an idea worth taking an extra look at?

Interesting
While Miller is an interesting idea, I think I'd be as interested in Scott Chandler out of Iowa. We should be able to get him near the end of the 3rd round(pick #97) or maybe even in the 4th round(#104). Other options could be Matt Spaeth of Minnesota or Joe Newton of Oregon State in the 5th round.
I definitely think this is an idea worth pursuing.
Miller
Agree
Now, if the 49ers decide to go three wide, I could definately see Vernon lining up in the slot. I could also see him coming out of the backfield. It would be kind of interesting to see them use him as the 49ers used T.O. during his final years as a 49er.
