<p>The 2013 NFL draft has come and gone for the San Francisco 49ers with the team filling multiple holes on offense and defense. Now, the 49ers turn their focus to the three-day rookie minicamps that start on May 10. This will be the first chance <strong>Jim Harbaugh</strong>and his coaches will be able to see all of their new rookies on the practice field.</p>
<p><em>(Click <a href="http://ninernoise.com/2013/04/30/grading-san-francisco-49ers-2013-draft-picks-rounds-1-5/" target="_blank">here</a> to view draft grades for the Niners in rounds 1-5)</em></p>
<p>A lot has been written about the 49ers overall success in the draft and the players they selected. Most NFL pundits, including Niner Noise, are giving San Francisco overall draft grades of A’s and B’s.</p>
<p>Even though the 49ers had a really good draft, it was not without some debate. Criticism mounted with the team trading up to select safety <strong>Eric Reid</strong> in the first-round, even though the other two top-three safeties in the draft would have been available had they stayed put at pick No. 31.</p>
<p>Also, the 49ers did not address the cornerback need until their final pick of the draft in the seventh-round with the selection of CB <strong>Marcus Cooper</strong>. The Niners should be fine this season at cornerback, especially if <strong>Nnamdi Asomugha</strong> reverts back to playing like an All-Pro, but 2014 and beyond presents a challenge for the team. Starting cornerbacks <strong>Carlos Rogers</strong> and <strong>Tarell Brown</strong> are in the final year of their contracts.</p>
<p>In the latest edition of the Niner Noise Poll, we wanted to ask readers which rookies they think will be in the starting lineup in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Choose as many players as you like and tell us your thoughts in the comments!</p>

<p>The San Francisco 49ers currently hold an NFL-high 15 selections in the upcoming draft in April. While they have added plenty of missing pieces through free agency and trades, there are still some holes they need to fill on offense and defense.</p>
<p>The NFL draft presents a great opportunity for the 49ers to upgrade at important positions with players who can contribute right away and who will, hopefully, be at their position for seasons to come. It is very unlikely the 49ers will use all 15 selections on players because they will not have enough room on their roster. What will likely happen is general manager <strong>Trent Baalke</strong> will trade some draft picks, possibly even trading up in the first round.</p>
<p>For the Niners to draft a player in the first round who can start right away, they will have to move up to draft the best player available at cornerback, safety or wide receiver. All three positions are areas the 49ers should focus their attention on in the first round. But what do you think the 49ers should do with their first round draft pick? Trade up? Hold onto pick No. 31? Answer below in the poll.</p>
<p>Here are some options available for the 49ers in the first round either to trade up or to stay put at their current selection:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cornerback</span></strong>:</p>
<p>In the NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons, wide receiver <strong>Julio Jones</strong> torched the 49ers’ secondary for seven passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns. The secondary shut down Jones in the second half, but it was clear the 49ers defense needs a bigger cornerback to be able to compete with receivers of Jones’ stature.</p>
<p>Arguably, Alabama’s <strong>Dee Milliner</strong> is the best available cornerback in the draft. But the 49ers would have to trade up to into the top-ten of the first round to ensure he is available when they select. With a lot of teams targeting cornerbacks, Milliner will likely be gone by pick No. 5.</p>
<p>The next best option is big bodied Florida State cornerback <strong>Xavier Miller</strong>, who at 6-1, 210 pounds, is the ideal size the secondary needs to stop receivers like Julio Jones. In order to get their hands on Miller, the 49ers would need to trade up into the top-15 picks of the draft.</p>
<p>Should the 49ers stay at pick No. 31 there could be plenty of good options still available in <strong>Johnthan Banks</strong> (Mississippi State), <strong>Jordan Poyer </strong>(Oregon State) and <strong>Desmond Trufant</strong> (Washington).</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Safety</span></strong>:</p>
<p>With former safety <strong>Dashon Goldson</strong> taking his services to Tampa Bay, the 49ers are in need of a starting safety. San Francisco <a href="http://ninernoise.com/2013/03/16/safety-craig-dahl-signs-with-49ers/" target="_blank">signed</a> free agent <strong>Craig Dahl</strong> but they will likely use one of their picks in the first or second round to select another potential starter.</p>
<p>Former Texas Longhorn <strong>Kenny Vaccaro </strong>would fill a need at free safety with a player who can not only make good tackles in the open field, but is also able to effectively cover a receiver one-on-one. Vaccaro is at the top of many NFL pundits draft boards as the best safety available, so the 49ers would need to trade up somewhere between picks No. 20-25 in order to draft him. I prefer this option as opposed to trading up higher in the draft for a cornerback. The Niners would not have to give up a lot to trade up to picks No. 20-25.</p>
<p>Other safeties who are similar to Vaccaro include <strong>Phillip Thomas</strong> (Fresno State), <strong>Matt Elam</strong> (Florida), <strong>Eric Reid</strong> (LSU) and <strong>Duke Williams</strong> (Nevada). All of these players will likely still be available when the 49ers pick at No. 31, which means they would not have to trade up to get help at safety.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Speedy wide receiver</span>:</strong></p>
<p>Would Trent Baalke select a wide receiver in the first round two drafts in a row? After <strong>A.J. Jenkins</strong>’ bust of a rookie season, he had zero receptions, I doubt the 49ers will select a wide receiver in the first round. Still, the 49ers need a fast receiver to line up with <strong>Michael Crabtree</strong> and newly acquired <strong>Anquan Boldin</strong>. Jenkins could be that receiver, but after last season I am not holding my breath that he will contribute.</p>
<p>A speedy receiver would allow the offense to stretch the defense, something the team lacked last season. One good option, and someone who the 49ers will be <a href="http://ninernoise.com/2013/03/27/2013-nfl-draft-49ers-to-host-wr-tavon-austin-and-s-jonathan-cyprien-for-pre-draft-visits/" target="_blank">hosting</a> for a workout, is Cal receiver <strong>Tavon Austin</strong>. He is an explosive receiver and showed in college he has the speed to beat double coverage. But in order to selection Austin the 49ers would need to move up at least into the top-20 picks of the draft.</p>
<p>Other options in the first round for fast receivers include <strong>Cordarrelle Patterson</strong> (Tennessee), <strong>DeAndre Hopkins </strong>(Clemson) and <strong>Keenan Allen</strong> (Cal).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It should be noted that the 49ers have the 31<sup>st</sup> pick in the first round and the 2<sup>nd</sup> pick in the second round (34<sup>th</sup> overall).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the <a href="http://ninernoise.com/2013/02/28/49ers-are-among-a-handful-of-teams-interested-in-trading-for-darrelle-revis/" target="_blank">news</a> the San Francisco 49ers may or may not be pursuing a trade for New York Jets cornerback <strong>Darrelle Revis</strong>, Niner Noise wanted to gauge the fans reactions in our weekly poll.</p>
<p>While it would be nice to have Revis opposite <strong>Carlos Rogers</strong> in the secondary in 2013, there are questions about his health and if he would sign a long-term contract with the 49ers. Revis has never tested free agency and he might be inclined to do so no matter which team he is traded to. What do you think 49ers Faithful?</p>
