Who should the 49ers be targeting in the NFL Draft?

From my mock draft:


#13 Joe Staley is supposed to be the left tackle, but he’s hurt. Even when he’s healthy, he’s a liability against the pass and belongs at right tackle where the Niners currently have a load of crap. The Niners have 2 picks in this first round and can use the first of the two, with no other huge needs that they can fill with the players left on the board, on an elite left tackle. Rutgers OT Anthony Davis is the best available tackle here and he’s too good for the Niners to pass on at 13. He’s very raw, but he’s also 20 years old only, and has only two years experience playing tackle and already he’s a very strong mauling blocker and a good right tackle at best. However, he has the upside to be an elite left tackle as well.


#17 When ‘Dre Bly is not busy making a fool of himself on an interception, by high stepping starting from the 30 yard line with a potential tackler a few feet behind him such that he gets tackled, loses the ball, and turns 7 points into a fumble, he’s busy getting burnt by quicker, faster, younger, more athletic receivers. The only reason he has a job is because Walt Harris, who is equally old and slow, had to have season ending knee surgery before the season. I don’t think Shawntae Spencer is the answer either, but with Nate Clements reportedly moving to free safety next year, Spencer is probably going to start another year. Regardless, they would still need a corner to play opposite him. Michigan CB Donovan Warren is shooting up draft boards this season, after a down year last season. He’s a great man-on-man corner who quarterbacks don’t even try to throw on and he’s tough and physical against the run which Mike Singletary will love.


Your thoughts?
