It is obvious to San Francisco 49ers biggest offensive need is a wide receiver. I do agree with my fellow blogger Mike Zamora that the Niners do have a need at running back. Let’s face it RB Frank Gore have been great for us throughout the years, but he getting a little long in the tooth. RB Kendall Hunter as awesome as he was this past season he is not an every down back. Then again I think our offense line is so great that any running back can excel in our team. So that brings us back to the wide receiver position. TE Vernon Davis was the only threat we had in the passing game in the playoffs. With WR Ted Ginn Jr. and WR Josh Morgan both free agents it might leave the Niners a little thin at the position. And can someone please tell WR Michael Crabtree to finally step it up. He keeps teasing the Niner faithful with good performances from time to time, and then he lays an egg in the playoffs. Yes I know he had a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints, but for the next seven quarters (I am including the New York Giants game) he did nothing. By coincidence the wide receiver position has the most star power in free agency this off season. Here are the top three. (more…)

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.
