I dont know much about the kid, and Im interested in what you guys have to say about him.

On a side note, just ignore the what they say about Mark Sanchez.

[rocc_don_juan]

when they played usc he was not a factor and still not sold on him and during the season he was not talked about. Brown or macklin makes the most sense for the tenth pick. I see yesturday we tyred 2 claim a qb of waivers that should hint were not drafting a qb untill the middle rounds or not at all.

Don't know much about him, but it looks like a strong pick.


Getting a free agent OT would make this pick easier, unless someone like Peppers is available, which he won't be.

[KansasNinerFan]

I stil want Raji but I am starting to think he won't be there for us

[IhatedaEagles]

Maybin @ #10 is would be a terrible choice.

Maclin would be amazing for us at 10, but there's no way he gets past Oakland at #7. Their WR struggles have been worse than ours, and they have a lot of money invested in their qb and rb's, this would make sense for them. Surrounding the qb with play makers.

Yea thats true but i think they will draft a lineman or d lineman or cb and get top wr in FA. Pluse if they dnt sign back their cb dnt throw it awsomes way r what ever. Then that will :sfhelmet:shake up their first round pick for sure

I would like Raji as well. He would be an excellent NT.

[Dem40Boyz]

that was one game u are basing it on one game how stupid look at his career then say if it's a good pick or not

you are talking about one game i am sure macklin and brown have had those kind of games if you base it off of one game you are crazy look at the player's career first before you make a call like this

[jwallace]

i don't think a guy like Maybin could step in his first year and help us. with us picking so high that player should be a starter from the beginning. this guy would not be able to start over either olb that we have now.

[GoreScores]

I wouldn't be too crazy about this pick to be honest....

[Gooooore21]

crabtree will be the 1st wideout off...the raiders may also pick up TO...who else will be taking WR's?

[Grigga2122]

Aaron Maybin shouldnt even go in the 1st round...he's got top 10 bust written all over him.

[GIANTNINERFAN]

Raji/Brown/Malu @ 10 would be ok with any one of the them in that order....MS would probably go Malu if available...

[Tracker]

That would be a very stupid move at number 10.

[beasley for pres]

Kiper had praise for Boston college defensive tackle B.J. Raji. Oddly, Kiper has Raji rated as the No. 10 prospect (see, below) but sees Raji going to Mike Nolan's Denver defense, which has the No. 12 pick. Kiper has Maybin rated No. 12.

That'd be gay, he brings us Franklin, and then his first year there he gets Raji.

[Tom Cat]

Kiper is also trying to shaft the 49ers with a lousy draft pick. If we pick a DE we would pick Brown if he is available not an undersized DE who take a few years to develop.

brown is the same type of player manny lawson was when he came out of college same build and everything they will be the same type of player brown is a undersized DE

[49ersforlife5x]

I sure hope not! Don't count on it!

I fully expect we'll address pass rusher in free agency, so that would be a moot point. However, if we don't, we can do way better than him. When he declared for this draft, I literally laughed.. (I just realized laughed rhymes with draft...)

[Zhero06]

You obviously haven't watched him play then.:slap: He is a much more polished pass rusher than Lawson ever was, with all of the natural tools to boot. Doesn't hesitate when pass rushing against big OTs like Lawson does and has far more pass rush moves (effective PR moves) than just about anyone else that is going to be in the draft this year.

Everette Brown, watch him play. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXJJ14HL5EE)

[ihatela]

Brown is to small for the pro game this year. He will need a year or two to gain size or the other teams will just run him over. With a pick this high i would like to see a starter or a QB/CB that can sit and lean but has real star potentcial.

[NY2ThaBay08]

that was one game u are basing it on one game how stupid look at his career then say if it's a good pick or not

my views on him arent just from 1 game in fact i like him but i'd prefer if we went in a different direction with the 10TH pick thats all...i would never judge a player on a single game...

[Tigger49]

you should start writing songs. i gotta agree here; i'm hoping the Niners either take Brown or Raji and hopefully they'll be able to choose between them at #10, although it is unlikely that both will be available at that point.

[odu73]

He is one of the players I wouldnt want at #10.

[bajanbwoy21]

Aaron Maybin had one good season and when he played against USC he was a none factor. With the 10th pick we need an OL or Maclin if he is still on the board. We can get a pass rusher in FA

like who? Peppers? Suggs? those guys aren't going to come cheap in terms of money or draft picks. Suggs is a top priority for baltimore and i highly doubt Carolina simply lets Peppers walk without any type of compensation. What other pass rushers are worth getting?

[thedynasty]

Peppers won't be cheap but we could also get Scott. Carolina won't have the money to sign Peppers and Gross and I doubt neither one of them will want to be fanchised. We can sign Peppers and a S during FA.


carolina will likely sign Gross long term and franchise Peppers in order to trade him. They won't let him go for nothing. Scott is an ILB so he's not the pass rusher we need. who else is there? the draft will be our best bet to get a good pass rusher.

[PapiChulo81]

no way, this would be a waste of a pick, plus the guy probably isnt worth picking so early. i project this guy to be gone late second round or early third.

Brown reportedly played in his bowl game at 225 pounds. That's less than Maybin's listed weight.

that's what is reported but i don't believe it. I wonder how credible that source is.

It would probably be cheaper for them to franchise Gross and try and sign Peppers. Gross is gonna cost someone a pretty penny.

I play we dont' draft Maybin. He wasn't even the starter at the beginning of the season,he only got in becasue the starter got injuried and had some good games, but would be a terrible move for us at 10. Maybe in the 2nd round, but even then?

[Trap_Star]

Brown reportedly played in his bowl game at 225 pounds. That's less than Maybin's listed weight.

i heard about that and im not buying it. first, he doesn't even look that light. second, he wasn't that light coming out of high school. i think he was around 240. if anything i think he's closer to 6'2" than 6'4".

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

Bull****, there's no way that's possible.

They need OT's way more, but we all know how stupid Al Davis is.

Peppers already has stated many times he wants out of carolina so signing him is out of the question. Gross on the other hand has said he'd like to stay. Gross will get the long term deal and they won't let an elite DE just leave with no compensation. Their best bet is to sign gross, who wants to be there, long term and franchise peppers, which would cost 14+ mil if he stayed, so they can trade him. That's the most likely scenario.

Maybin is good and i wouldn't look at the fact he didn't start the season as meaning much of anything. Penn st. is very loyal and starts upperclassmen most of the time. Why did Anthony Morelli who is horrible start over Daryll Clark? Clark was no doubt the better player. Maybin (a RS sophomore) got the job due to injury but when Evans (junior coming off double digit sacks and looked like a future first rounder) came back he never got the job back. He also didn't have just some good games. he was one of if not the most disruptive DE in the NCAA last year, more so than Orakpo. He had at least 1 sack in 9 games and recorded a TFL in every game he played in. That's pretty impressive. compare that to Everette brown who got sacks in bunches- 3 3 sack game. Brown had 7 games where he got 0 sacks. I'm not concerned about maybin when it comes to talent, my concern is that he only has one year of production and is undersized for even a 3-4 OLB right now. He could have used another year especially for a position (pass rusher) that you want immediate production if you're going to spend an early pick on them.

[Max_Power]

No thanks. He's a slight reach at #43 for me. According to my board, if the 25 players I have ranked higher than him are gone by #43, then I'd take him. But only then.

[94949'er]

god I hope not. top 25 talent at 10? nah.

[JaketheSnake]

I dislike Maybin. He seems to play ***** football and just speed rushes, and is also is extremely undersized. What, like 230 or 240 pounds?

[zackscool]

I just saw a mock draft that has use taking Stafford with the tenth pick. They think Sanchez will be the first player taken in the draft. Funny!!

[slyman831]

Greg Munusky will turn him into a superstar

[Hobbes2d]

Maybin shouldn't even have come out. If we take him, he will be a BUST. Guaranteed.

[Max_Power]

Bull****, there's no way that's possible.

Weight is also an issue for another underclassman 'tweener, Everette Brown of Florida State. Some teams wonder if Brown has the body at this point to withstand the rigors of a 16-plus game season. In his final game at FSU, Brown weighed 225 pounds. Teams want their edge pass rushers to be around 260 pounds. This is an issue with which the 49ers are already familiar. They drafted Manny Lawson in the first round three years ago and the lanky linebacker has had a hard time adding weight - and explosiveness - to his frame.

[roleplay3r1]

http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/49ers/archives/019502.html

Just a rumor. I've looked at some pictures of him playing in that game and he doesn't look much smaller, if at all, than he normally does.

[MLaw99]

You guys do realize that players don't finish the season at the same weight, right?...albeit, 25+ lbs is quite a bit of weight to lose in a single season.

I really don't believe this will affect his stock much...I fully expect him to weigh in at around 250 lbs at the combine.

As far as Maybin goes, I'm actually becoming more and more a fan of his, not sure about using the 10th pick on him though. Ideally, if we were to select him, I'd like to trade back about 5 spots and pick up an extra 3rd rounder or something.

[Trap_Star]

Last week, Maybin said he weighed in the 242-245 range. This week, he said he's gained eight pounds.

[His Dudeliness]

Maybin does not deserve to go in the top 10.

Brown is good, but I have been fortunate enough to watch all of Orakpo's games in person this year and I can tell you that this guy's a beast.

it might take a year or two for Orakpo to learn the OLB position (like Mario Williams at DE for Houston) but IMO he has way more potential than Brown

[NyNinerFan]

yeah I kinda agree

I think Maybin is a little underrated, at least on this forum, his talent is top 10 worthy, but he's still a little raw and a little bit of a project imo

and I expect Brown to weight 255 - 260 next week

gettin real tired of reachin for these kinda guys in the early rounds..

[beasley for pres]

Spencer's a pretty decent player, he just doesn't get any playing time with Ware and Ellis.

Idk how....Spencer is/was much bigger coming out of Purdue, and in his Senior year he led the NCAA in tackles for loss.

Maybin looks like a weaker version of Manny Lawson.

[doublediamond]

That'd be gay, he brings us Franklin, and then his first year there he gets Raji.

I want Raji, but I would take him just so Nolan can't
