I think it's gotta be Fulton, Gladney or Johnson.

Or Josh Jones/Cleveland

Isaiah Wilson is probably the best bet a day one starter at this point. I don't think there is much value at OL once ruiz went of the board. Maybe Cushenberry? That's a reach too though.

Don't know much about this pick, so I guess it's a good pick. Now time to address the O-Line(which we seem to have to address every year), safety and defensive line.

Just wait til we draft Amik Robertson and we'll have three undersized CBs!

Huh? They moved down and got the 31st pick a 4th and 5th...
Obviously they’re swapping 1st, it’s still terrible value. SF is drafting 2nd to last... those are basically 5th and 6th round picks.
We basically lost 30 points on that trade,not good value.we should have been on the plus.

However it seems to have worked out very well.
