player. good player, solid starter for 10 years. but not a great player imo and would be better value on a trade back or we could wait until 2nd/3rd to address rg and still get a solid interior lineman. think there should be better prospects still on the board at 30.
Agreed. I always believe 1st rounders should yield you immense talent. I understand sometimes need outweighs talent for some but I think thats where teams make mistakes. I really wanted Iupati and I NEVER want OG's in the first, and especially not that early. But I thought he was the most talented OG since Hutchinson and he warranted the pick because of it. I dont see Zeitler in that regard so I was vehemetly against him at first. Now Im not so against it because I think he'll be a solid pro like you stated. But I hope they do go in another direction.
Exactly 24 hours to go and I'm hearing the name Kevin Zeitler more and more.....
I think we have narrowed it down pretty well. Most likely either OG, WR, or TE with long shots of DL, RB, and CB.I would guess the chance of each position being the pick at #30 would be:
OG: 35%
WR: 25%
TE: 15%
Other: 25%
I'm starting to think that Doug Martin is a distinct possibility, if I had to name the top 5 most likely players to have their name called at # 30 it would be:
1) Zeitler
2) Hill
3) Fleener
4) Konz
5a) Martin
5b) Wright
I have a feeling some DL will slip and it will be really hard not to take him, ie Michael Brockers, Dontari Poe...
DL is my dark horse feeling as well. I expect G or WR, but wouldn't be shocked if it happens to be a D-Lineman when all is said and done. Guess we'll find out just how wrong most of us are soon enough!

It's fun to see these "insiders" get used by teams to spread misinformation. The Niners didn't spend 3 months keeping everything secret to just go out and give it all away the day before the draft.

If Terry Donahue was still running the 49ers I would probably have him going as SF's 2nd round pick.

I would prefer him over Zeitler. Like the upside and love his style of play. He is flat out nasty the way he finishes blocks. I want to yell "finish him" when he hits the 2nd level.

Me too. We've been linked to a lot of other players recently (Hill, Zeitler, Fleener, Silatolu, etc) which probably means we don't want them. Nobody linked us to our 1st rounders since Baalke took over back in 2010, i don't think it will change now. My final prediction on who we pick

THIS! dudes is just plain nasty. hes been working on his technique and hes already strong as an ox. i know he didn't play division 1 ball but i just have a gut feeling about this kid.
I am comfortable with the fact that Baalke is impossible to predict and his board has proven to be full of surprises. With that said, here is my huge-upside mock that features players that I feel fit what Baalke tends to go for...
1. Amini Silatolu - Guard - Midwestern State
2. Brandon Boykin - Cornerback/RS - Georgia
3. Robert Turbin - Running Back - Utah State
4. Tommy Streeter - Wide Receiver - Miami
5. Justin Bethel - Defensive Back - Presbyterian
6. Braylon Broughton - Outside Linebacker - TCU
7. Duke Ihenacho - Safety - San Jose State

Really liking this scenario, it's a good recovery from a somewhat tough 1st round pick.
