I don't hate the idea of Starks but I think the Niners are going to feel pretty good about finding impact DBs later in the draft. If Hufanga doesn't resign this is a possibility. Even then, they would be letting go a Pro Bowl safety they took in the 6th round because he got a huge contract, I think they would look for another sleeper in the draft since that has been the pattern with DBs
I think Starks would be a big upgrade to Huff especially in the pass game.
I also hope they don't take a Tackle at #11 just to take one. I know it's early but I don't see an Elite tackle in this draft and overall not too impressed with the o line prospects in general. This is definitely a deep DT and edge draft. We should load up on defense, try to get a Center in FA or trade and draft a few later OL to develop. Last year was the OL draft I wish we had come out of that with at least one more prospect.
I mean, no doubt last year was the OL class, but, pending medicals, I'd take Joshua Simmons before or immediately after Taliese Fuaga who went 14th overall and add Membou, Connerly, Mbow, Eresery and Williams to the list of players I would have taken before Jordan Morgan who went 25 overall.
