with us struggling and the panthers sucking ass, here is what a few sites have us doing.

10 SAN FRANCISCO 49'ERS (f/CAR): TAYLOR MAYS, S, SOUTHERN CAL

Scouting Report
Last year on Draft Day the 49’ers dealt a mid-second round pick to Carolina in exchange for the Panthers first rounder in 2010, which appears to have been a very wise move. The safety position has been a problem area in San Francisco for years now so you have to think they’d jump at the chance to bring in USC’s Taylor Mays. A great athlete with an amazing blend of size (6-3, 230) and speed (4.28), Mays epitomizes the phrase “Hits Like a Linebacker, Runs Like a Cornerback” and he will remind Niners faithful of Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott. Mays actually would have been the first safety selected in last year’s draft, most likely in the top half of round one, but he chose to return for his senior season and that has opened up his game to excessive scrutiny. The most common criticism is that Mays doesn’t make enough big plays in coverage (i.e. interceptions) but it’s important to keep in mind that he’s more of a big hitter than a playmaker. Is Bob Sanders any less of a great player than Ed Reed because he only has six career picks? Of course not, they’re just different types of players. Not only would Mays be a major upgrade over what the Niners currently have at the safety position but Mike Singletary will surely be impressed by his physical style of play and the incredible intimidation factor that he offers.

11 SAN FRANCISCO 49'ERS: TRENT WILLIAMS, OT, OKLAHOMA

Scouting Report
San Francisco has had a lot of issues over the years but one constant has been the shaky offensive line play. Joe Staley is a keeper and they have some talent inside but the Niners desperately need to bring in an upgrade at right tackle. Former teammates Phil Loadholt and Duke Robinson received more publicity and attention during their time at Oklahoma but Trent Williams is actually a better player and a superior pro prospect. After excelling at right tackle early in his career Williams moved to the left side as a senior and he’s had his share of ups and downs. However, even though Williams may not be an elite left tackle prospect he is an excellent all-around player who excels as both a pass and run blocker.
In fact, in many ways he is similar to another former Sooner, New Orleans Saints All-Pro Jammal Brown. San Francisco could also use an upgrade at cornerback opposite Nate Clements and don’t rule out a linebacker, either a pass rusher outside or a replacement for Takeo Spikes inside. Keep a close eye on the Niners sketchy quarterback situation too because if Alex Smith and Shaun Hill falter down the stretch they will be in the market for a new signal caller and with two first round picks they certainly have the ammo to trade up.

PICK 13 San Francisco 49ers: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
The 49ers have a huge hole at right tackle. Combined, Adam Synder and Tony Pashos have allowed nine sacks. Pashos is now out for the year. Finding an upgrade here is San Francisco's greatest priority.

PICK 14 San Francisco 49ers: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
I'd like to give the 49ers a corner, but the top two prospects at the positon are off the board.

Rolando McClain is the best player available. He doesn't fill a position of need, but then again, Takeo Spikes will be 33 in December. Having McClain and Patrick Willis side by side would be pretty intimidating.

11. San Francisco 49ers (From Carolina) - Jake Locker (QB) Washington
- Oh, what a difference a losing streak makes. Alex Smith had people describing him as a savior after 2 solid quarters. Now, Mike Singletary will start an experienced player with a wider skill set than Smith.

15. San Francisco 49ers - Rolando McClain (MLB) Alabama
- Patrick Willis is the most dynamic defensive player that no one talks about enough; still, the talent around him is limited. McClain is one of the most admired defenders in college football. Give him a chance to shine.

i would love for the niners to get locker and mays, seems unlikely, but what the hell.

I'd love to get Taylor Mays too but I'm worried about his durability. A capable pass rusher would be a welcome addition and more help on the O-line.
