Even though it is impossible and the 49ers have other holes to fill, the offense should be the only focus of the draft. The first round pick should be a wide receiver. Whether it is Cal’s DeSean Jackson, Indiana’s James Hardy, or Texas’ Limas Seed, the 49ers need to draft a speedy wide receiver that will fit in well with Mike Martz’s passing offense. DeSean Jackson is the best of the wide receivers the 49ers should draft if he is still available at pick 29. Jackson will learn to become a great wide-out under veteran Isaac Bruce, excel in Martz’s pass happy no run offense with his speed and he will be added help in the return game. If the 49ers draft Jackson, he will probably be the number 3 receiver on roster allowing him to learn the offense and not have the added pressure of being the go to receiver. With the remaining picks the 49ers should draft in this order: Offensive lineman, defensive line, wide receiver, cornerback, offensive lineman.
