49ers 7 Round Mock Draft: April Fools Edition

The 49ers might get crazy with it this year. Moves that may even get booed by fans on draft weekend are not out of the realm of possibility.

In the goofy tradition of our nation's most bogus holiday, it's very tempting to report believable-yet-unbelievable news in the spirit of pranks and hoaxes.

I'm not gonna do that. I will, however, be willing to throw out a completely annoying mock draft scenario that will likely rub fans the wrong way.

Worst of all, some aspects of the mock aren't that improbable, and could even come true.

Round 1, Pick No. 4, Blaine Gabbert

TEMPE, AZ - DECEMBER 28: Quarterback Blaine Gabbert #11 of the Missouri Tigers drops back to pass during the Insight Bowl against the Iowa Hawkeyes at Sun Devil Stadium on December 28, 2010 in Tempe, Arizona. The Hawkeyes defeated the Tigers 27-24. (P

Zing! Right off the bat. You know this one stings.

To acquire the fourth pick in the draft—and jump the division rival Arizona Cardinals in a race to get the most sought-after passer coming out of college this year—SF trades their first round pick, and next year's second-round pick to Cincinnati.

This move also opens the door for Carson Palmer trade talks.

Round 2, Pick No. 45, Nate Solder

Terrible Picture. Thanks Getty.

Offensive tackle is not considered a need, with the two offensive linemen taken by San Francisco in the first round last year. But when Solder somehow drops to the 49ers at the 45th overall pick, they cannot say no.

Round 3, Pick No. 76, Sam Acho

This pick really shouldn't anger anybody, except for Sam Acho fans that know he'll be gone by the third.

Round 4, Pick No. 100, Shane Vereen

Trading their second fourth-round and their fifth-round pick to move up in the fourth, to make sure they have a shot at grabbing Shane Vereen before anyone else wises up to the sleeper's potential.

Round 4, Pick No. 108, John Moffitt

Chilo Rachal is trying really hard to nail down a roster spot. He's been working out with a hand full of other 49ers on the roster in the absence of a structured coaching environment.

Yet, if enough game film is watched, there's no way Harbaugh can be that comfortable starting any QB behind a line with a hole in it, let alone a first round investment like Gabbert.

Round 6, Pick No. 174, DeMarcus Van Dyke

COLUMBUS, OH - SEPTEMBER 11: DeVier Posey #8 of the Ohio State Buckeyes battles with DeMarcus Van Dyke #8 for possession of a pass at Ohio Stadium on September 11, 2010 in Columbus, Ohio. The pass was incomplete. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)

So anybody still reading here is probably pulling his (or her) hair out and saying, "Why won't this numskull mock-select a corner?"

DeMarcus Van Dyke and his 4.27 40-yard time is why. Happy now? Me neither.

Round 6, Pick No. 190, Richard Sherman

This pick is just logical.

Round 7, Pick No. 210, Alex Henery

LINCOLN, NE - NOVEMBER 13: Alex Henery #90 of the Nebraska Cornhuskers kicks an extra point against the Kansas Jayhawks during their game at Memorial Stadium on November 13, 2010 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nebraska Defeated Kansas 20-3. (Photo by Eric Francis/

With the new kickoff rules leading to increased touchbacks, a big leg is in order.

Round 7, Pick No. 211, Eric Hagg

Eric Francis/Getty Images

LINCOLN, NE - OCTOBER 16: Wide receiver Mike Davis #1 of the Texas Longhorns gets the ball knocked away by defensive back Eric Hagg #28 of the Nebraska Cornhuskers during first half action of their game at Memorial Stadium on October 16, 2010 in Lincoln,

A Nebraska DB. Did you think I wouldn't do it? You are an April fool!

Round 7, Pick No. 241, Dejon Gomes

Eric Francis/Getty Images

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA - SEPTEMBER 25: Nebraska Cornhuskers defensive back DeJon Gomes #7 and South Dakota State Jackrabbits tight end Colin Cochart #87 fight for position on the ball their game at Memorial Stadium on September 25, 2010 in Lincoln, Nebraska. N

Taylor Mays gets a ball-hawking buddy. And yes, another Nebraska DB.

Round Seven, Pick No. 252, Scott Tolzien

ANN ARBOR, MI - NOVEMBER 20: Scott Tolzien #16 of the Wisconsin Badgers throws a second quarter pass to Lance Kendricks #84 in front of Courtney Avery #5 of the Michigan Wolverines at Michigan Stadium on November 20, 2010 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Photo

A potential steal if Harbaugh works his magic.

Congratulations!
