Comments on: An educated guess at the 49ers’ 2011 draft board http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/21/an-educated-guess-at-the-49ers-2011-draft-board/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 21:15:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: moseszd http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/21/an-educated-guess-at-the-49ers-2011-draft-board/#comment-1037238 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 18:36:52 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=126508#comment-1037238 9er4life says:

@thefiesty1: Thank you! Mallett would be the pick…

lol. Smith was not only a better college QB, but a higher rated prospect in his year than Mallet is now.

The fact is, Mallet, against good college competition was crappy. Just look at his 2010 results. He just padded his stats against Tennessee Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, UTEP, and Vandy where he threw 14 TDs and 1 INT.

Against good competition, Alabama, LSU, South Carolina and Ole Miss: 6TDs and 7INTs.

Bottom-line is, you know nothing about Mallet but rate him highly because some idiot on a draft site said he was a first round prospect. Mallet is classic over-rated guy.

Just like Joey Harrington, Ken Dorsey, Jake Locker, Ersnt Shazor and a host of other crap guys that either fell or were massively over-drafted despite their lack-luster performances against good college teams.

Performance, GOOD INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE, against top college teams is THE KEY PREDICTOR in NFL success. And Mallet failed this test.

And they’ll probably look to trade down if Dareus, Von Miller or Peterson aren’t there.

If they don’t get the trade-down in Round 1, they’re probably thinking about working a trade-up from Round 2 to low Round 1. That would be a good spot for a QB in this draft, especially Ponder. (Though I like Stanzi the best of all the likely prospects for low Round 1/high Round 2 selection.)

Mallett would be the pick…if anyone has been paying attention over the last 4 or 5 yrs, they know that Alex Smith is trash and Troy “I backed into the Heisman” Smith is slightly better. Needless to say, they better get someone in there that can sling the rock. Mallett is the only QB in the draft that can stretch the field and help Gore be more productive and he’ll make Crabtree and V Davis that much better too.

It falls into a two tier, two player system in order to draft their most pressing needs. At number 7 the first tier consists of Peterson and Miller. If either player is available they will run to the podium to get them. If both players are gone that means one or both of the top 2 qbs are available (Gabbert, Newton) which the 49ers will try their best to trade out of that spot to a team like Washinton (#10) or Minn (#12) who covet a qb in the first round because the 49ers do not. The second tier consists of Prince (I wont even attempt his last name) and Robert Quinn which can be had at the #10 spot or even #12 spot. Both Washington and Minn would be willing to trade being that Tenn (#8) is looking at a qb. I would hope for a slip of the first tier player.

Plus if PP7 can do returns Josh Cribbs can focus 100% on being a WR.

Makes sense to me but I’m a Carolina fan so WTF do I know?

Green is taken by the Bengals) or trade with a team like Houston or Detroit who may want to move up to get Peterson. At #11 or #13, it is likely that Julio Jones would still be on the board (if Jones got by Minnesota or some other team did not trade up), so that is a possibility.

If the Browns have the opportunity to trade down, it might be in their best interests with so many needs. I know that Green and Jones are extremely talented, but the Browns could likely get a good WR in the later rounds if they feel that Peterson is just too good to pass up.

On a side note, if Peterson is chosen at #6 (whether by Cleveland or another team trading up), is it a foregone conclusion that his nickname will be “Pick-6″?

I dont see a way other than trade down that patrick Peterson makes it past the Browns if he is there at 6

Then I should get a check also, because I know the board of the Panthers: newton, Peterson, Dareus, gabbert, Quinn. My thinking is stenuous, where is my check?

The guy at PD that followed him – Eric Branch – isn’t bad either.

Before Maiocco there was Mike Silver. Something about that small town newspaper breeds good football reporters.

on a team so void of talent as the browns and in need of play-makers… why would they go cornerback two years in a row?

Niners could get very lucky if petersen or miller drops to them…it looks like one of them might if 2 qbs go before them

Green, Cam Newton or Julio Jones(physical fast, blocking receiver). These guys up side are tremendous and all could be Pro bowlers caliber players.

I’d have to say I mostly agree with this educated guess, but I wouldn’t be too excited with a Gabbert pick. If those top 3 players on Maiocco’s board I’d really hope they find a trade partner to move back a few spots and still land a potential impact player on the defensive side of the ball.

Can you imagine trips coming at you courtesy of Davis, Crabtree, and Green?
