SoCal's Dream 2013 Off-Season

If you don't want to look at all the nice pictures and fancy colors I've slaved over for hours, you can scroll to the bottom for a draft recap.

Coaching Changes

The San Francisco 49ers bring in offensive guru Chris Ault to act as an offensive assistant to Greg Roman. This move does two things. It allows the 49er pistol offense to grow under the man who invented it, and prepares for Roman's inevitable departure next year. There were some teams that wanted Roman this year, and the chances that he doesn't get an HC gig next year is slim. Ault will act as an assistant for now, but will take over as our new OC upon Roman's departure.

Re-Signing Period

Re-signed:
Dashon Goldson
Ricky Jean-Francois
Tavares Gooden
Larry Grant

Allowed to walk:
Randy Moss
Ted Ginn
Isaac Sopoaga
Delanie Walker
Clark Haggans
Leonard Davis

Free Agency

I can't predict this right now because I'm not sure who will walk from other teams.

Trades

The 49ers get on the phone with the Kansas City Chiefs and trade away Alex Smith.

The 49ers send:
Alex Smith
2013 2nd Round Pick (63)

The Chiefs send:
2013 2nd Round Pick (34)
Conditional 2014 3rd round pick, with the possibility to turn into a 2nd

This works for both teams favors. With 14 picks in the 2013 draft, the 49ers don't need anymore. We get to ship our former QB to an AFC team to torment the Raiders, and we pick up another pick next year, which has a good chance of jumping to a 2nd rounder due to a weak division. Kansas City get's a very good QB to run Reid's system, and will buy time for whatever rookie they choose to draft.

NFL Draft

Round 1.31 Another trade!
With so many picks, the 49ers trade up with Cincinnati for a player they feel can take our defense to a new level.

49ers send:
2013 1st round (31)
2013 3rd Round (95)
2013 5th round (159)

Bengals send:
2013 1st round (21)

With the 21st pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers draft...

1.21 Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State

This gives the 49ers our franchise DT. Surely teams can't double team he and Justin Smith right? This allows Justin Smith to hold offensive linemen, which in turn allows Aldon Smith to get sacks on stunts. Because that's the only way Aldon gets sacks.

2.34 (Via KC) Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee

With Mario Manningham far from a lock to return from his horrible injury, the 49ers are only left with 3 wr's. Patterson gives us the deep threat that we've always needed. This isn't a knock on Jenkins at all, as Jenkins is more a slot guy anyway.

3.74 (Via CAR) Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut

Say that one time fast. Wilson probably won't be a start this year, but the tools are there. He's not a burner, but he has good enough speed to lock down some our NFCW WR's. Call me crazy, but I think this kid could be a shut down corner with the proper coaching. Enter Donatell, for this year.

3.COMP William Gholston, DE, Michigan State

This guy has the potential to be a pretty good edge rusher, but he need to work on honing his craft. It still remains to be seen if he can be an every down back.

4.127 Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati

Kelce is a pretty fluid receiver for his size, and I think he can fill in for Walker just fine.

5.152 Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State

I don't even need to explain this pick.

6.172 Tyrann Mathieu, CB/S, Home Schooled

I know this may not fly well with some of you, but the talent can't be denied here. If anyone can turn this guy around, it's us. I'm not sure if he'll play corner or safety for us, but he's someone who'll sit and learn from the veterans.

6.191 Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina

Definition of low risk, very high reward. He's going to need a year to sit, and this is the perfect team for that. I think that he can return and be our guy after Gore retire in a year or two.

Rest of the picks:
7.213 Shamarko Thomas, S, Syracuse
7.223 Matt Scott, QB, Arizona
7.COMP Alec Lemon, WR, Syracuse
7.COMP Graham Pocic, C, Illinois

Draft Recap:

1.21 Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
2.34 (Via KC) Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
3.74 (Via CAR) Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
3.COMP William Gholston, DE, Michigan State
4.127 Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati
5.152 Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State
6.172 Tyrann Mathieu, CB/S, Home Schooled
6.191 Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
7.213 Shamarko Thomas, S, Syracuse
7.223 Matt Scott, QB, Arizona
7.COMP Alec Lemon, WR, Syracuse
7.COMP Graham Pocic, C, Illinois

Highly unlikely that we come away with 12 players Laughing

, but these are the guys I'd want if we picked 12. I tried trading away as many picks as I could, but I'm sure we'll do more moving come draft day.

Hankins has big time motor issues. Patterson is looking like he's the #1 WR in the draft (top 20 pick) and Wilson has jumped up into the 2nd round after a nice Senior Bowl. Lots of wishful thinking.

- I like your departures/re-signs and Alex trade enough.

- I'm getting wary of Hankins.. and if we are trading up for a DL? I'm getting stubbornly locked in on Richardson or Datone Jones. Or even stay put and select Kawaan Short, Jessie Williams, or Tyler Eifert. Then, we could trade back up, as I like the talent expected in that 25-45 range.

- Really like the Patterson selection... if he's really available there? Awesome.

- Not a big fan of BWW. I'd like to think there are better available CBs... Jamar Taylor and McFadden come to mind.

- Haven't been all that impressed with Gholston.

- Love the Kelce pick, if he's there.

- Really like the remaining, late picks... and nice presentation. Overall, I'd always hope for the best and recognize that I don't know for sure how these guys will evolve.

I see the Hankins pick isn't popular....the more reason I think we'll pick him. Twisted Evil

Love the coaching addition. Like the signings (but go ahead and take your wildest guess at FA signings - would love to see what you see us adding there). Like your choice for guys you let go. Pretty much like the draft ... except I really don't want us to "waste" our first pick on Hankins. In the first place I watch a lot of Big 10 ball and while I think he's good I rarely saw him dominate a game. My other reason will be controversial ... I just don't value a NT that highly. Before you all jump on that you have to remember that we play a true 3-4 probably only half the time. I don't know what Soap's play count was compared to Raymac or Justin, but I'll bet it was much lower. I'd prefer to see us give the spottor RJF who I think can do a credible job and use our first on a DE which is a much more important position for us and where Justin's departure or injury would really hurt us.
