Guys like Mankins will be RFAs, so the Niners would need to give up high draft picks for them. That's probably not an option.

Fortunately though, at pick 13 one of the better OTs should be available (Williams/Davis/Bulaga).

But I'm thinking that pick 17 might be too high for an OG. Possibly trade down to the 20s for Iupati and get an extra 3rd-rounder? If they stay at 17, there are quite a few solid d-linemen in that area (Williams/Cody/Jones/Odrick), although that's not a pressing need.

Some good discussions on this by the Matts...

Suh and Berry - mack 2010-01-12 22:57:52 (267 views)

And yeah definitely still early. Though the combine's just next month already. - BiggChangWang 2010-01-13 11:13:42 (314 views)

The only thing holding Bulaga back is the thyroid problem he had this past season - Zaphod 2010-01-15 11:12:53 (855 views)

haha word. Guess I could have phrased the question differnently. Would you trade up to get Berry? - BiggChangWang 2010-01-12 23:26:24 (229 views)

yeah, especially with no CBA next year, the OL will have to improve through the draft - seven-eleven 2010-01-12 11:47:58 (219 views)

I still would like Spiller or Haden if they are there - The Dude 2010-01-12 12:57:02 (281 views)

I don't get this thinking - mack 2010-01-13 13:14:33 (177 views)

Who thought Franklin was a good player a few years ago? - Nehemiah 2010-01-13 17:35:11 (202 views)

yeah, kinda early for balmer I guess, doesn't look good though - mack 2010-01-14 17:00:47 (175 views)

Balmer's NFL career will probably be a repeat of his college career - seven-eleven 2010-01-15 09:03:42 (2270 views)

I could see that - mack 2010-01-15 16:02:56 (158 views)

Yeah hard to pass on either of those guys if they're there. Then go OL with next pick. - BiggChangWang 2010-01-12 23:33:15 (215 views)
