49ers Draft Needs
Urgent: A franchise quarterback to take over from the four-headed flop of Shaun Hill, J.T. O'Sullivan, Jamie Martin, and Alex Smith is needed.
Strong: A franchise corner to play nickel as a rookie and be groomed behind Walt Harris is an urgent need. A rush outside linebacker to pair opposite Manny Lawson is needed as Parys Haralson, Tulley Banta-Cain, and Roderick Green are just garden variety linebackers. A tough old-school strong inside linebacker to be groomed behind Takeo Spikes to eventually pair with Patrick Willis is strongly needed.
Moderate: A versatile offensive lineman who can fill in at any position on the line is needed.
Nice to Have: Best available old-school players who will contribute to depth and team chemistry are welcome.
Wild Card: How much will the 49ers offense change and who will start at quarterback in 2009?
