The latest edition of the Cincy Jungle Writer's Mock Draft is here. Be sure to keep up with all of the picks in a out stream page.
Next up are the San Francisco 49ers. Who will they take here that can finally help them overcome the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West and get back to the Super Bowl?
Mickey: 49ers take Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
Athony: 49ers take Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Even with the success of the 49ers under Jim Harbaugh in recent years, the 49ers have had inconsistencies in the passing game. Vernon Davis has always been a key cog, but injury woes have plagued Michael Crabtree and other drafted wideouts haven't worked out.
Anquan Boldin has been relatively effective, but his career is almost over. Cooks can play on the outside or in the slot and be very effective. He isn't the huge target that most peg the niners in the market for, but he will be a reliable receiving target for Colin Kaepernick.
Jason: 49ers take Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
I believe the 49ers want to take Bradley Roby out of Ohio State, but adding his character concerns to a roster with too many players with that very issue, they opt instead to go for Indiana receiver Cody Latimer.
Latimer (6-3, 215 pounds) is a big, physical receiver who can model his game in the NFL after 49ers star Anquan Boldin.
He's caught 123 passes for 1,901 yards and 15 touchdowns over the past two seasons, and he immediately upgrades a thin and aging receiving corps.
