Love the trade down, don't like the picks. Ross is not the guy for us.

TRADE: The 49ers will send pick No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for pick Nos. 12, 33 and a second-rounder in 2018.
Round 1, pick No. 12: John Ross, WR, Washington. My favorite player in the draft. Ross can play any wide-receiver position, but when he lines up in the slot of a twins set he forces the opposing team to change its entire defensive structure because he's so fast and safeties can't cover him.
Round 2, pick No. 33: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt. My favorite defensive player in the draft. Cunningham is a true three-down linebacker who is athletic and tall enough (6'4″) to cover tight ends that are displaced from the offensive formation.
Round 2, pick No. 34: Obi Melifonwu, SS, UCONN. Another 6'4″ defender who can cover tight ends. Melifonwu is a rare athlete who runs a 4.40 40-yard dash and weighs 224 lbs.
Round 3, pick No. 66: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida. A 6'0″ cornerback who excels in press coverage, which the 49ers will feature under defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.
Round 4, pick No. 109: Joe Williams, RB, Utah. My favorite running back in the draft. Williams averaged 7.1 yards per carry the final seven games of 2016. He is a phenom.
Round 4, pick No. 143: Eddie Vanderdoes, NT, UCLA. A nose tackle who's strong, quick and agile. Vanderdoes is similar to Grady Jarrett, the starting nose tackle for the Falcons — Kyle Shanahan's previous team.
Round 5, pick No. 146: Josh Carraway, DE, TCU. A situational pass-rusher who struggles defending the run.
Round 5, pick No. 161: Jonnu Smith, TE, FIU. A move tight end who has the speed (4.62 40-yard dash) and agility (4.18 20-yard shuttle) Shanahan wants at this position.
Round 6, pick No. 186: Aviante Collins, OG, TCU. A guard who has the speed and agility to play in Shanahan's outside-zone running scheme.
Round 6, pick No. 202: Corey Levin, OG, Chattanooga. What I wrote about Collins.
Round 7, pick No. 219: C.J. Beathard, QB, Iowa. A strong-armed quarterback with a quick release who comes from a pro-style offense.
Really enjoy this draft. I love John Ross and his skill set but I don't see us taking him. At #12 I would say one one the big bodied WRs like a Davis or Williams.. Round 4 I'd rather go with Joe Mixon. Love everything he brings to the table on the field. Off the field he needs work and guidance but he's the perfect fit in our offense. Him and Hyde would be insane. I would rather take a qb a little earlier if the opportunity arose. But aside from those three things I'd be happy with a draft like this.

Cohn and Walter football are the 2 most rediculously dumb commentators in football.

I really try to like Grant. Some of his regulars in his blog threads are really good reads. But...I just can't seem to bring myself to like Grant. Occasionally I need reminding as to why I don't like him. Thanks for this.
