Haralson was originally a pass-rushing DE in college, and has transitioned into a OLB for Nolan and Co.  Green was also considered a pass rushing DE (albiet small).  Lawson was the pass-rushing DE opposite the monster known as Mario Williams.  Brandon Moore played DE in the nickel for the 49ers last year and came up with sacks.  The team really didn't need another guy like this group, as they're all solid, young, and are under contract for quite some time.

I don't mind most of the remaining picks.  I think Goldson could be a solid FS (as he has decent coverage skills, he's just kind of slow).  Speed isn't everything when you're a safety though.

I think Brown and Clayton are both very-low risk, but potentially decent rewards with the last two picks.  Clayton will probably start off behind Hicks and Robinson, having to earn his way up the board.  Brown will probably start off as the 5th corner, allowing Hudson to move back to FS.

The Cohen pick has me indifferent.  He could go either way, and won't hurt the team if he goes south.  With Fields, Oliver, Douglas, and Young there this season, I can't see Cohen supplanting any of them on the DE depth chart.  The need for a DE to replace BY could always be addressed next season.

I'm just so bummed that Soliai isn't a 49er.  Next to Willis, he was the guy I was hoping the 49ers would end up with most.  Bah, I guess I should take solace in that the 49ers got a WR that is probably better than any of the second-tier WRs in the draft with a 4th round pick.  It's also awesome that the 49ers ended up with Staley and Willis in the first.  

I think Staley could supplant Kwame fairly easily.  Adding up to the roster would also allow the team to train Adam Snyder as a potential replacement for Justin Smiley or Larry Allen at guard, rather than having to play tackle.  I'm not too worried about the O-line at all.  Even with the potential departures of Allen, Smiley and Harris, the 49ers now have capable players waiting in the wings in Staley, Snyder and Baas (who was a second round pick previously).

Bah, Jay Moore over big Paul Soliai?  Bah, indeed.

Goldson and Cohen as our other Round 4 picks don't excite me either.  Both are more risk/reward picks in my mind, and we're just not at a stage now where we can be taking guys like that.  We're not a team that is set at nearly every position like the Chargers or even the Ravens of the last few years.  With the number of picks we had, there was a very real opportunity to add depth in the form of players who could come in and contribute right away, we didn't get that.

The trade for D-Jax is probably the only thing keeping me from rating this a D grade Day 2.  Adding a #1 caliber receiver for a 4th round pick is a very good move, and we can only hope he'll be a good influence on Hill, Lelie, and Battle.  Jackson should make things easier on Davis, Smith, and even Gore by forcing defenses to account for him at all times, something we couldn't say for our receivers this year.

If I could go back and make today's picks, I think our draft would look something like this:

#104 Paul Soliai
#126 Josh Beekman
#135 Tarell Brown
#147 Kolby Smith
#186 Prescott Burgess

Since that can't happen, I'll have to trust that Nolan and Co. know what they're doing, but after such a strong Day 1 this was certainly a let down.  One silver lining for me, from what I've seen is Jared Zabransky went undrafted.  I'd like to see him signed as an UDFA for our 3rd QB spot.  I think he can develop into a solid #2 man in year or two, especially with Dilfer around to help.

The D-jax trade helps us out and is a good value but i dont want a WR corp like this.....its like we went to a garage sale and bought a bunch of receivers....D-Jax is ok but at the end of the day he is a receiver that we got from a team in the division for a 4th round pick....he must not be that great although a good value....i just dont want to cheer for him....ive been cheering against him for however long up to this point

Battle i like but hes a posession receiver that isnt going to break too manny huge plays

Lelie is on his last life before he is officially considered a flop.

I really hope hill turns out and i admit that i'm worried because i dont have the greatest respect for the Pac 10

I know we traded away our first rounder next year for staley but in the second round there were a ton of players sitting there that had first round potential....We could have taken Kahlil, Ugoh, Jarrett, Smith, Leonard, or Rice and i would have been a lot happier....Colts are gonna have at best the 30th pick next year and we could have gotten a homerun receiver like Rice or Jarrett......These guys have the best two pairs of hands in the draft outside of johnson.......a lot of you know i'm in love with Rice but jarrett could have done too....A big receiver is what our team is missing and it would have been nice to cheer for a big young homerun hitting receiver...I think Rice is the most talented in teir two.....He would have been a top 20 pick next year which we wont be in the top 20 with the colts pick....it pisses me off he went to the damn vikings who maybe have the worst QB situation in the nfl...goodluck sidney and hopefully they wont ruin you.

I also really wanted Josh Gattis and we could have gotten him way later than he was projected....

The DE depth was needed since our starters are older and we need to get players to audition for the future.  I'm not a fan of the Cohen pick.  

I know a lot of people wanted Soliai but i had Jay Moore on my list....he's got a motor that Nolan loves so I saw it coming....plus i think we have ok depth a DT already....

Brown allows us a dime back shape until harris calls it quits.....Strickland and tucker are avg at best and hudson can move back to safety if that's best.....i kind of wanted david irons

Thomas Clayton is something i'm not gonna question..especially after frank gore turned out so sweet and i questioned that.....hopefully he can pound the rock on the goaline cause we need that.....hicks can be the third down back that can catch...leaving robinson as a bust.....i dont think he'll ever make it but i know some of you like him....he doesnt do anything well though

Also Jordan Kent scares me.....he's big and fast and i hope he flops and goes back to track somewhere
