Mock Draft: Picks 1-16 - Picks 17-32 - Round 2 - Round 3 - Rounds 4-7 |
| 30. San Francisco 49ers |
Stanford University
Alex Smith needs more weapons and the 49ers have already helped him out with the additions of Randy Moss and Mario Manningham this offseason. The presence of Vernon Davis was cause for hesitation with this pick, but Fleener is more of a hybrid receiver-tight end and it's no secret that head coach Jim Harbaugh likes to play a lot of two tight end sets. San Francisco could use the combination of Fleener and Davis in the same way the New England Patriots use Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Let's not forget that Harbaugh also coached Fleener in college at Stanford. If Fleener isn't the pick, the 49ers will look at their offensive line where they still have needs despite recent first round picks Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati.
