Jerry (TX): What do you hear out of the 49ers camp? Who do you think they will draft, Okoye, Branch, Ginn Jr.

Mel Kiper: (11:12 AM ET ) I think what they're looking at, they have four fourth rounders and two third rounders. They have the chance to be very fluid. They need a WR, if they don't pick one in the first round, they don't pick until No. 42. They might be in a situation to package some of their picks and move into the late first round. It gives them some flexibility. They have eight picks in the first four rounds.

nice find

I actually agree with that. I can't see us drafting a WR at number 11, but I can sure see us trading our way back to the first round around pick 20 through the beginning of the second for Meachem, Bowe, or Jarret (Who is starting to fall to the early second).

I still think that unless one of the top guys drop (Ginn, Meacham, Bowe), we won't take a WR until the 4th or 5th round. I've been on the David Clowney/Brandon Myles bandwagon for awhile, and I think they'll last until then.
