David Decastro? Coby Fleener? Steven Hill? Alshon Jeffery? Michael Floyd? Who knows. When your team has the 30th selection there really is no way to be sure who they're going to select in the 1st round. WR has been a need, but they have added Manningham and Moss. RG is the biggest need left for the Niners but they're picking at a tough spot for that position.
So who are they going to take? Like I just said, I don't know, but I can give you 3 likely scenario's;
- The Niners in past years haven't been shy trading up and down in their draft. I would not find it unusual for them to trade up to the mid-teens if Decastro still happens to be on the board and try to snag him up to fill their RG need.
-They stay right where they are and trust their draft board and pick the best player available. Possibly hoping for TE Fleener to be still on the board, one of the WR's, or pulling a fast one like last year and surprising people by reaching for a player at the guard position that was expected to go in the second round.
- They trade out of the 1st round for more multiple picks in later rounds. The is my least likely scenario. This move is more for teams needing bodies, or rebuilding and the Niners aren't either. I could see them trading the 1st round pick for someone else's future 1st rounder though...
However it goes down apparently Trent Baalke already has a guy targeted, we just have to wait and see which guy that is. Be confident that the Niners have a plan, they are not going into this draft winging it. They probably have all these scenario's covered. We'll see Thursday.
