1 - Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina (6-4, 308); 2 - Chilo Rachal, G, USC (6-5, 315); 3 - Reggie Smith, DB, Oklahoma (6-0, 199); 4 - Cody Wallace, C, Texas A&M (6-4, 296); 6 - Josh Morgan, WR, Virginia Tech (6-0, 219); 7 - Larry Grant, LB, Ohio State (6-1, 235)

Analysis: San Francisco didn't sell too many season tickets with its first two selections, a pair of interior linemen who don't figure to grace Bay Area billboards at any point during their careers. Both will have an opportunity to start right away, but are far from can't-miss talents. Smith was a nice choice for the Niners due to his ability to play either safety or corner. Wallace lacks similar versatility, since his only meaningful time in college came at center. Morgan is an interesting player with character issues, and will need to adjust to Mike Martz's scheme quickly. Grant is a special-teamer at best. San Francisco failed to find an edge pass rusher in this draft, which could be a problem.

Bottom Line: They got better, but are there enough impact players here to save Mike Nolan's job?

Grade: B-
