2010 NFL Draft: Revisiting our 49ers Community Big Board

I’ve gotta say I loved getting to put a line through all of the OTs and OGs on the Niners Nation big board—fully 20 of the 100 prospects!

I want whoever falls to 49 between Dexter McCluster, Nate Allen and Mt Cody (in that order). There’s no substitute in later rounds for what McCluster could bring but the draft is deep in DBs and NT could be put off until next year (us not knowing how well the Franklin contract negotiations are going).

in the second round. That would be the logical Niners choice.

But with all that beef on the O line now I keep dreaming of Toby Gerhart blowing up safeties in the fourth quarter of games the Niners lead by three touchdowns. Maybe he’ll still be around in the third round.

Looking at Taylor Mays, Nate Allen, Carlos Dunlap, Everson Griffin. Daryl Washington or Golden Tate with our 2nd round pick.

Once again Jimmy Clausen is the wildcard, it would be incredibly difficult to pass up on him at 49, but it would take a lot for him to be there. Either Mccoy would have to be taken first, or as many as 5 teams in need of a QB would have to pass up on Clausen.

If prior to the draft you were told that we were going to end up with a Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati and a combination of one of Taylor Mays/Nate Allen or Everson Griffin, I think most Niner fans would be ecstatic

Some thoughts on the draft:
I love that we’re fixing our O-line, but I didn’t think we needed to do it ALL in the first round, especially with the whole trading up deal. I would have rather traded back and gotten Saffold (or perhaps Davis falls), but they may have had different information. Further, it’ll be interesting to see who’s better at Guard – Iupati or Pouncey. I was kinda hoping to trade back (again) and grab Pouncey, I liked that he could fill in immediately at guard and switch over to center eventually. Oh well.

I’m excited to see how Brandon Graham’s career turns out. He was taken at our old pick (number 13); I hope we don’t end up regretting not taking him ourselves. He could turn out pretty beastly.

The Jets’ defense is gonna be SCARY. They can play one-on-one with any of their top three cornerbacks now, which leaves a ton of blitzers. And with Kris Jenkins coming back… watch out.

Pretty bummed to see Patrick Robinson go as the last pick of the first round, he’ll be a good player for the Saints, and fills a position that they desperately needed. Good pick for them.

As for the second round, there are a couple great NTs out there in Cam Thomas and Mt. Cody. I would love to get either player, and I’m surprised Mt. Cody fell so far. I’m surprised 3 RBs went in the first round, so we may be missing out on a COP back. I wouldn’t mind any of Nate Allen, Everson Griffen, Gerhart, Brian Price, or one of the many WRs still available. I think a lot of the cornerbacks will still be around in the third round (Perrish Cox, perhaps?)

And lastly: LOLBRONCOS

What happened with Taylor Mays last season to drop his stock from a potential high first round pick?

or DL. I don’t know if I can put any of the CB’s up there right now, especially with so many teams passing on OL’s in the first and the CB’s falling to late 1st.

Brian Price would have to be considered an upgrade over Sopoaga, Linval Joseph, even possibly Mt. Cody as Franklin insurance (you know we have no one who can really step in if he leaves or get’s injured). Singletary will get Cody’s weight down and he only needs to be a 2-down player for us, as is Franklin.

I really want Nate Allen though.

2nd & 3rd-CB & S (we can look at either round for one)
two 6th’s-NT (I can think of two that should be there), ILB or OLB
7th-Fringe picks (PR, QB, maybe a RB but I won’t be upset if we don’t even get one)

since one is compensatory? Was it that we can’t trade it for a player before the draft but we can trade it during the draft to move up? I’d like to get more picks in the top half of the rounds.

like Golden Tate, Mt. Cody, Clausen, etc but I think everyone of those players will be gone by 49. I think we should go for a DB or DE. I’m big on Nate Allen but I think he will be in high demand and may not be there. Won’t be surprised if Mays is there at 49. I’d feel better about drafting him in 2nd and not with top 2 picks. Carlos Dunlap is a athletic freak but some say he doesn’t give maximun effort, but Sergio Kindle is a beast a possibly a steal. I wont be surprised if we offer up a future 2nd or 3rd round pick from 2011 to get a extra 2nd round pick this year

has us taking Nate Allen (S, USF) in the second round and Eric Norwood (LB, South Carolina).

Thoughts from anybody?

I think Allen would be a solid pick.. Eric Norwood is South Carolina’s all time leading sacker and is extremely fast coming off of the edge, but I like Allen or Mays

Jerome Murphy, CB USF
Dexter McCluster, RB/KR/PR Ole Miss
Mardy Gilyard, WR/KR/PR Cincinnati

It’s still exciting in day two. Day three, eh I’ll watch while doing other stuff. :)

I said before the draft that their was a very real chance he could fall all the way to the Vikings. Turns out I was being too generous. I think the Browns will pass on him again and take McCoy. Would the Raiders or Bills take him? If they both pass on him again then he could really be in a free fall. Would it actually be posible that he could be their for the 49ers again with the 49th pick? If he is, I hope the 49ers take another pass.

about today than yesterday. 2 rounds of picks, lots of talented players, we did pretty well in round 1…the thought of how good this team could be with two more impact players excites the crap out of me.

2nd round pick some how and make some good selections, this draft will be a A+

Mays in the 2nd round! And spikes in the 3rd and I’ll be happy. Wouldn’t mind Morgan Burnnet either

I would have said Corner with the 49th pick but you guys have to remember what happened at the end of the first round; The Pats took Devin McCourty & The Saints took Patrick Robinson. I dont see them reaching that high for Corners that they could get in the 3rd round. I dont think that they will picks Mays because he will be gone by that 17th pick. To me the possibilities are Mt. Cody from Alabama (Can never have too many maulers on the D-Line) or maybe Carlos Dunlap or Sergio Kindle. If those two are gone i can see them selecting Takeo’s younger Cousin Brandon. I know its not an immediate pick but the Niners have to eventually groom a successor for Takeo and if Brandon can fulfill his potential then imagine having Patrick Willis and Brandon Spikes at those spots for the next 10 years or so

I want some DBs…Not a big fan of Mays though(looked awful and slow against Oregon and Stanford)

Originally I thought that Gerhardt would be a good pickup but I remembered that he can’t catch the football…straight up power guy.

is the Raiders not blundering their top 10 pick. they actually picked up a stud… well, still a stud until he puts on that Black and silver.

Oh and just from reading, the Tebow pick seems popular than the Bradford pick.

…and of course the Cardinals are hating on us. F them!!

Possibly in the 3rd.

I’d like to see Nate Allen in the 2nd though.

is loaded with talent. I truly believe if we can put together something with future 2nd or 3rd round picks to get a extra 2nd this year we can do some real damage especially on defense. If we can get a Sergio Kindle near top of the 2nd with that extra pick and then see who’s left between Allen and Mays at 49 I think we would be good.

2ndd 3rd and 6th rounders left, not good!

the more I love our first two picks. We now have no problem on the Oline and can focus on defense. I want Taylor Mays or Nate Aleen. Then give a play maker for smith, one more player maker on offensive and we’re stacked! V. Davis, Crabs, Gore, Ginn, with that Oline and get Mcluster just close your eyes and throw it up!

McCluster or even Gerhart.. I don’t care what anyone says about Gerhart I’ll have two power backs and just beat the hell out of teams with the Oline we have now. I didn’t like gerhart but after watching highlights, he is a beast.
