Draft Previews

San Francisco 49'ers


Last season - 8 - 8 2nd in the NFC West


Team needs - OL, CB, S, QB, OLB


Players in - Karl Paymah CB, David Carr QB.


Players out - Marcus Hudson DB, Tony Pashos T, Arnaz Battle WR, Ricky Smitt K.


Draft Positions : 


1st Round : 13th pick, 17th pick
2nd Round : 17th pick
3rd Round : 15th pick

5th Round : 14th pick
6th Round : 13th pick, 37th pick.
7th Round : 17th pick

Total : 9 picks.


I think that if Florida CB Joe Haden is still on the board at this position, there is no doubt that he will be a 49'er.  CB is probably the biggest need for the team, and the next best player on the board just happens to be a CB, how lucky.  Easy pick - Haden to the 49'ers.

7th Round : 14th pick

This is a difficult decision for the Giants.  Their major needs are LB, S, and TE.  I would imagine that they would like to take a LB as the Giants defence, after being the strength of the team in its 'Superbowl' run, has become a weakness.  I would have thought that they would love to get an ILB after cutting Antonio Pearce.  The best player at this position is Rolando McClain, but I believe he will already be off the board.  The next best player may be Penn States Sean Lee, but I believe that this would be a reach at this spot.  They could look at OLB and pick up Missouri's Sean Witherspoon.  Witherspoon had a good combine and has all the ability to be a great player at the NFL level.  This would also be a better fit for this mid first round spot.  Another option could be the number 1 TE in the draft class, Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham.  This though may also be a slight reach, I therefore believe Sean Witherspoon will be the pick.
