Again not a bad draft, but if we go to a 3-4, do we have a spot for Dareus who IMO is a DE in the 3-4. I know we need to upgrade the DEs for the 3-4 but Mario and Antonio should be the starters at DE.

My mock/cherry pick has a trade involved in it. We give #8 & 72 for the 49ers pick at #6

6 Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska 6' 1" 205
40 Jerrell Powe DT Mississippi 6' 2" 330
104 Jaiquawn Jarrett S Temple 6' 2" 195
136 Andy Dalton QB TCU 6' 3" 215
168 Wayne Daniels OLB TCU 6' 2" 250
199 Alex Henery K/P Nebraska 6' 2" 175

The other option is one this team is not inclined to do and that is Ngata will be franchised, so go sign him and give up the 2 first round draft picks. Having Ngata is better than any pick they could draft at #8.

Actually liked the mock, too.

My cherry pick leaving picks and scheme the same.

8. Marcell Dareus* DT Alabama 6' 3" 306
40. Jabaal Sheard DE Pittsburgh 6' 4" 260
72. Michael Floyd* WR Notre Dam 6' 3" 220
104. Jaiquawn Jarrett FS Temple 6' 2" 195
136. Harrison Smith SS Notre Dame 6' 2" 212
168. Mike Mohamed ILB Cal 6' 3" 235
199. Brian Maddox RB S. Carolina 5' 11" 228

My main objective, initially, was to improve the pass rush. I believe I accomplished that with my first two picks. I think WR is a concern with J.Jones possibly leaving through FA and the lingering ankle injury of AJ. I think our passing game suffered this year as a result of the latter, Floyd is a stud who has time to develop. While I'm content with Pollard in run support and in blitz packages, he's horrible in coverage and Wilson is getting a little long at the tooth. Nolan and Barber are still suspect, IMO. This tandem of Jarrett and Smith could be something special. Mohamed bolsters our LB corp and Maddox replaces S.Slaton in the RB rotation. Tate is still a relative unknown and an injury to A.Foster would cripple our ground game.
