Re: 34th Overall Pick

I think it's more than the NT but the d-line/front 7 in general. Hatcher will help that and we need Chris Baker or whomever to help out as well. The 49ers NT isnt elite but their front 7 as a whole is

I don't think Cofield sucks but I think the trenches need to be steadily improved.

I wouldn't mind adding a pass rushing D-linemen. I also wouldn't mind us trading up to get Ha Ha Clinton Dix either.

Well, great defenses are just a part of one recipe for a SB. Because in addition to a great defense, Seattle has a consistent offense that can score points when they're needed and also run out the clock, as well as a solid special teams unit. And Denver made it to the SB by riding an offense that just crushed everyone with points. Sure, you can argue that they lost in the end, but the most important thing is that they made it there. San Francisco has a great defense, and they lost to the Ravens in the 2012 SB. The Ravens weren't great at anything, but solid everywhere and just got hot at the right time.

That list could go on. The point is that building a great defense isn't the only way to get to the SB. You can get there with pretty much any combination as long as you're solid overall.

That out of the way, I think you know I'll be happy going secondary at #34, especially if it's Verrett. I just want us to take a great player at a position of need who can contribute early and also in the long run. Really, really can't afford to flub this pick up. Honestly, a great RT makes the most sense at #34, because we won't be going to the SB for a few years yet even if things work out like they're supposed to; we might as well protect RG3 as he improves in the meantime and make sure he's still standing 5 years down the road. Please, Allen, just make a smart choice and I'll be happy.

His parents should have been threatened with jail time when they tried to name him Ha Ha, the poor soul.

Re: 34th Overall Pick

I havent followed the draft at all but .... i dont understand the talk about a need for pass rusher given that we signed a supposedly penetrating DE in hatcher, orakpo is a pass rush specialist and kerrigan does a good job getting into the backfield as well.

unless they want options so they can let rak walk next year?

im all for BPA but if there is a RT, ILB, FS and DE/OLB with the same grade, id go in that order.

i know protecting the quarterback and getting to the quarterback are 2 big pillars of football but id really like to see RT addressed with some actual resources instead of picking up a couple OL bodies at the end of the draft and claim we addressed the RT need.

Re: 34th Overall Pick

I'm a BYU grad. Although I'd still like to see us go RT if the top two guys are on the board, Van Noy would be a great pick and he'd do well transitioning to ILB in the NFL.

I don't think he's quite big enough for the 3-4 OLB position, but he's got the smarts, coverage skills, and speed to be a good ILB and he would add a GREAT pass rush option when we blitzed or dropped our OLBs into coverage to confuse the offense. He's also an outstanding character guy and would be a strong locker room presence.

Only question mark is how long the transition to IL would take to master (we did alright changing positions for our current OLBs), but we've got enough options at ILB this year that we could afford to bring Van Noy along as slowly as needed, let him play STs (he's very good there, too), and have him ready in a year or two to be the long-term, full-time ILB starter.

Re: 34th Overall Pick

Is it just me or does he have more of a build of a safety and not ILB? Love the hustle and block shedding ability though.

Last year I wondered if he might try to go the safety route in the NFL, but he ended up putting on some muscle this off-season and I think he'll do fine as an ILB.

As you pointed out, his DE/OLB experience gave him great hands for shedding blocks, so that will help when he's matched up with bigger guys.
