surprise, surprise, the niners suck ass again, and cant win at all. they had a tough schedule this year playing the nfc and afc east, but you are only as good as your record. there are no "moral" victories. at this point, i am rooting for a nice draft pick. draft needs: well a QB would be nice, but there are a few that might be available in the free agent/trade market (Mcnabb/Cassell/Derrik Anderon/ MICHAEL VICK lol) WR is also severely lacking, as far as playmakers go. we need a damn superstar WR. IMO, what we REALLY need, is some O-line help. i would be in favor of drafting O-line in the first 2 rounds. no QB we bring in is going to do a damn thing laying on his ass all day. and D-Line, we could really use a great NT to disrupt the opponents running games and to swallow up blockers.
recent mock <label> </label> <label> 6</label> SAN FRANCISCO 49'ERS: MICHAEL OHER, OT, OLE MISS <!-- .playerHead --> <!-- .niners --> <center> Scouting Report </center> The Niners have been one of the worst teams in the league for many years now so it’s difficult to single out any one area to blame for their losing ways. However, the offensive line has been a consistent problem area so it wouldn't hurt to bring in another stud blocker. Most people know Michael Oher as the subject of Michael Lewis’ best-selling book “The Blind Side” but come next April he could have a new claim to fame: Top 10 pick. At 6-5 and 318 lbs. Oher certainly has the prototypical size you look for but it’s his athleticism, quickness and strength that lead many to believe he could be a franchise left tackle at the next level. In recent years we have seen D’Brickashaw Ferguson, Joe Thomas and Jake Long all go from probable first round picks to sure-fire early first rounders by going back to school for their senior campaigns and Oher will try to become the next blocker to follow in their footsteps. Despite investing a ton of money in Nate Clements the Niners still need some help at cornerback and Malcolm Jenkins would likely draw serious consideration here as well. Don’t sleep on a stud 3-4 pass rushing outside linebacker such as Michael Johnson or Brian Orakpo either.
