Good morning everyone. The 2010 NFL Draft is officially over and the 49ers have snagged themselves a couple of good players, to be modest about it. If you're new to the site, I urge you to stick around during the offseason. We've still got plenty of undrafted free agent signings, the signing of rookie contracts, building the roster of 53 and so much more this offseason and the coverage here at Niners Nation will be top notch. The 49ers already grabbed a few undrafted free agents and thusfar the general outlook here has been very positive. Our division rival the Seattle Seahawks have had themselves a pretty good draft and I have to say they scare me a little bit, but I can't see the 49ers not winning the NFC West this next season. It's going to happen. Anyway, on to your links, of which there are plenty.

The team definitely did supplement their run blockers with some runners in the draft, grabbing two guys who will battle for a roster spot. Wondering if I should jump start the Thomas Clayton bandwagon? Nah, I guess that's over with. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here is the audio from the conference call with Kyle Williams, the call with Nate Byham and the call with Anthony Dixon. (49ers.com)
Does Taylor Mays put the 49ers defense over the top? I don't think so necessarily but he will be an upgrade at some point during this season and give a lot of speed where it's needed. (NinersCentral.com)

Favorite line from that Barrows article
And if that wasn’t enough, the 49ers also landed LeGarrette Blount, the Oregon running back who infamously sent his right fist into the jaw of a taunting opponent immediately after a Ducks loss last season. If Singletary wants a team that “hits people in the mouth,” well …
Loved this line from a different Barrows article
You might say that this draft had Mike Singletary’s fingerprints all over it, but that would be wrong. It’s more like his boot print.
I was right, you were wrong.
Best draft in years
I know there were a lot of underclassmen who came out this year so there were a number of other teams who did well. But from a casual glance around the net I keep seeing the Niners with A grades all around.
Some folks here grade on a pretty steep scale. And no one knows how good these players are going to be, or whether the coaches will end up putting the pieces together to make the whole thing work, but here on 4/25/10 I’m feeling pretty good about the Niners’ draft.

Also
People need to get over the Niners trading up two places to get Davis.

That 2011 4th Rounder coming over from San Diego erases that 4th rounder the 49ers traded to Denver from my memory. Sure, next year’s draft likely won’t be as deep, but the 49ers had a great trade out of the 79th selection. I’m not sure if anyone is still pining over that trade up, I just know that it didn’t take long for me to get over it.

Most intrigued to see.....
Taylor Mays on a SS bllitz…

"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
just thinking about that,
I keep seeing images of LT breaking Joe Theismann’s leg. Mays blitzing a QB would be THAT scary imo
Looks like McKillop is in danger of losing his job
6. What does Bowman’s acquisition say about last year’s fifth-round pick, Scott McKillop? As I’ve written in the past, the 49ers weren’t all that happy with McKillop’s progress last year. “Scott McKillop is trying to get it,” Singletary said. “He’s trying to get his game together. It’s just taking a little time.” That being said, there’s plenty of room for McKillop on the roster. Spikes will be in the final year of his deal while Matt Wilhelm is an off-the-street free agent. The 49ers need to look to the future at inside linebacker, and besides – inside linebackers make excellent special teamers.
I was right, you were wrong.
I think McKillop is going to be our ST's guy. I never thought he had a chance to be an NFL ILB.

"We're going to get the players we have targeted," Baalke said. "I promise you that."
Although if he has half the productivity of the "Bus" he'll have a good career
I was right, you were wrong.
THROWING AWAY A 5TH ROUND PICK
We should have waited to go after Ginn until after the draft, with the addition of LeRoy
(the-plan) Vann, we don’t need Ginn now. I watched a 7 to 8 min video (like I am sure all did) of this little burner and he can outright burn leather. He was the best K/P returner in the nation last yr. When he took a kickoff to the house/crib he was never touched except once and that was a hand brush to the side. If this guy turns out to be the real deal and big (has the fix-ens) Dixon along with the Frank (The-Tank) Gore and the two beast on the OL we will go Deeeeep, I mean Deeeeeeeeep into the playoffs and I didn’t mention Taylor (fase-em) Mays who hits like a truck with the license plate SF-42, heard that truck on the field before haven’t you. I am very excited with what Sing and Balke did, an excellent job along with the scouts and all in the war room. One last thing to put to rest, now you can believe me or not but my college buddy is in Fla and a big fin-fan and his dad has contracted work for the Fins for years in the finance dept and he told his son who told me that the fins were going to draft Davis and trade him to a lower team for a 1st and a 3rd next year and some how the Niner’s got wind of that, is it true I dont know and I am just telling you what I heard.
