A Shot in the Dark: My Attempt at a Mock Draft

With Stroud gone they need someone cause I don’t think Jimmy Kennedy is the answer. Both Kentwan Balmer and Rubin would be excellent choices here, but I’m giving the nod to Rubin in a toss-up.

A running back is possible here as is a cornerback. Cherilus however should turn into a solid starting OT and is a safe pick here for a team who isn’t in need of a whole lot. I mean the fact that there is talk of them taking a RB with LT on their team proves how set they are.

Dallas manages to land the two players they are keying in on and Talib. I’m not sold on Talib at all, and I think Brandon Flowers would be a better pick, but Jerry Jones likes Talib and that’s all that matters.

29.   San Francisco 49ers – Kentwan Balmer DT, NC State

People are speculating that they’ll use this pick and take the second QB, but they won’t make that kind of investment with Alex Smith still on the team, a lot of people have given up on Smith but the 49ers aren’t one of them and neither am I. They’ll consider a few guys such as Flowers, Antoine Cason, Duane Brown and Mario Manningham. But Balmer is rising up the boards and should provide some decent stability in the middle of their D-Line.

Mike Mayock has called this pick and has swayed me away from giving G-Bay a CB here. Bubba Franks is certainly not what he used to be and Keller has the skills to be a starter right from the get go.

There isn’t much doubt that the Giants want Phillips and won’t think to hard about this pick if he is there. The rich get richer landing a difference making safety.
