It's obvious to everyone here that that niners need to make a move for a solid OT. I believe that Sebastian Vollmer is the ideal player for this team.First of all last year was his rookie year. For those of you who might not know of him, he's the patriots' secondary OT, primarily behind their pro-bowl LT Matt Light. When Light went down mid-season Vollmer stepped in, and in his first game held Dwight Freeney to no sacks, and I believe no tackles. The patriots also have a Nick Kaczur at RT who they locked up last year with an extension. Vollmer would be an expensive back up for the patriots when they could get a decent 2nd or 3rd from us.
He'd be an instant starter and would allow us to make a move for a luxury player in the first round, or possibly an OG that would make our line even better. Most mocks have us taking Anthony Davis from Rutgers and truthfully I would much rather have a proven NFL talent in Vollmer than the 5th best OT in the draft. We could Joe haden and CJ spiller/Taylor Mays/Mike Lupati/Rolando McClain/etc. Although I know most hypothetical trades have little chance it appears that, although the Patriots have not said theyre shopping him, he is available.
