the San Francisco 49ers select........................... BRAYLON EDWARDS

from rotoworld.com

49ers head coach Mike Nolan reportedly is leaning towards drafting Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards with the first pick in the draft.
Unless Aaron Rodgers or Alex Smith impress next week in workouts, Nolan reportedly thinks Edwards is the top player available. The sentiment that both quarterbacks could be a little overrated appears to be gaining steam in the NFL community. Edwards, a senior eligible, would be expected to start right away on the 49ers, probably across from Brandon Lloyd.

WOW

Nolan if fooling people so he can try and trade out he is not leaning towards anybody

If they don't pick a QB, I would rather have the Niners pick Ronnie Brown. I don't like picking a RB but he appears to be the best of a great trio of rb's coming out this year. Braylon Edwards though would not be a bad pick imo.

People say that Nolan wants Edwards, other people say that McCloughan and McCarthy want Smith. I think that for better or worse we will end up taking Rodgers unless we move the pick, which would be the best move.

I don't mind if the Niners take Edwards or Williams with the 1st pick. They both are talented. Edwards I think has a better personality and not as cocky has Williams. WIlliams reminds me a bit of TO as he might seem like the player to demand the ball every play, but Williams has great hands and size. Edwards run a bit faster and can make those difficult catches. If the Niners do take a WR then I think they should draft Charlie Frye from Akron in the 2nd round. This guy has the size (6'4"), the quickness, toughness, speed (4.8 in the 40), and maybe arm strength for the QB position. This guy seems like a good prospect. I do like Aaron Rodgers though and I am hoping he wows scouts next week so the Niners will get him. If the Niners get Boston though I go for a QB with the first pick.

Braylon Edwards is definitley one of the best playerss in the draft. He runs greats routes and can win alot of jump balls. His speed is above average and he has great hands. Any team that drafts him cant go wrong. People say he is the next David Terrell. I disagree. I watched alot of Michigan games this guy is the real deal. I can see where Mike Nolan is coming from about saying he is the best player in the draft. He definitley could be. I personally would take Mike Williams though. But Braylon Edwards is a close second as the best WR in the draft.

How can you guys say Braylon has good hands?!?! He is soooo inconsistent. Yeah he makes those ESPN highlight catches every now and then but he drops the easy ones that move the chains. Mike Williams on the other hand has rediculous catching ability. Don't you guys remember that rediculous one handed grab he made without even pulling it into his body?!?! Mike Williams, to me, is way better then Braylon. I hear lots of people talk about how he's "slow", but T.O. and Jerry Rice were never burners. Mike Williams makes all the catches and has the built to break tackles and take it to the house.

If people are dissing Braylon Edwards because of the track record of Michigan receivers, then those same people better not be extolling the virtues of Aaron Rodgers, because it's the exact same scenario. Edwards is a much safer pick, investment wise. And with the David Boston thing at the very least on hold, WR is certainly something we could use, considering the loss of Cedrick Wilson.

they will sign Boston and there are only 2 other ways the niners will go other than QB and that is Ronnie Brown because he is the best overall player in this draft or trade and take Antrell Rolle or the best overall corner. Because Rumph is moving to safety and Plummer may not be back.

Of course I'm still going with Rodgers and think that is the best choice at this time.

if we do sign boston , then there is no doubt that we will either draft aaron rodgers or trade down. barlow is going to be alot better this year because the OL has improven. come draft day someone is going to want to trade up to get williams or brown or dj. best case senario is if the vikings giv us their 2 1st rounders for our 1st overall pick.

You know, the more I look at the people availible in this draft, the more I wish Roethlisburger had waited a year to come out. Damn him.
