Nine
picks and Darrell Jackson make for a
very good draft haul. Nabbing Jackson
was a major score, giving the 49ers a
player with the ability to be a No. 1
wideout. Piling that on top of
linebacker Patrick Willis and offensive
tackle Joe Staley, and the 49ers added
talent fast. Willis could be the next
great middle linebacker in the NFL. And
Staley has the athleticism to be a top
tackle if he's developed properly.
He's a good player, but was he worth the
picks?
Willis is a
highly
athletic,
talented
player who
offers
superb
versatility.
Willis was a
top ten
talent. 49er
fans have to
love this
pick, he was
the best
player
available
and he
filled a
need. Willis
should be
defensive
rookie of
the year in
2007
Joe Staley
started
as a tight
end at
Central
Michigan
four years
ago and grew
into an
offensive
tackle. He
has improved
by leaps and
bounds, and
he's
a steal at
this point.
He can step
in and play
left tackle
and start
this year.
The 49ers
gave up a
lot to get
him so he
better be
very good.
He's got
some skills
and he’s
fast. Once
he realizes
that
football is
his
livelihood
and
straightens
himself out,
the 49ers
will have
themselves a
pretty good
starting
cornerback.
