Who would I take with #20

OT Bryan Bulaga - Improves run game. Ex: Jordan Gross.
OT Trent Williams - Improves run game. Ex: Jamal Brown.
DT Dan Williams - Reminds me of a DT in Minnesota
S Earl Thomas - Loves a playmaker, but worried about time in the tub. Maybe Reggie Nelson?
LB Sean Weatherspoon - My favorite player at a non-need postion. I think he's better than Derek Johnson and people wanted to draft him at #13.
LB *Rolando McClain - I see him going MUCH higher. Patrick Willis?
CB Patrick Robinson - Reminds me of Dunta, hopefully not in personality
CB Kyle Wilson - Carlos Rogers is my comparison.
DT Brian Price - Boom or Bust like Amobi.
CB Devin McCourty - Aaron Ross was drafted at #20.
RB Ryan Matthews - Laurence Maroney maybe?

Personally, my first option would be to target about five players I like in that range (Thomas, Iupati, Wilson, Matthews, a good OT) and then trade down into the high second and hope one is still there.

The draft chart says a 20th overall choice is worth 850 points. and a team that gave us a high second and a third would get the points advantage but I'd still do it if the pick was between 33-38. I'm betting one of those guys is still there at 33-38 and we'd gain a third-rounder and save some money at the same time.

I think the value in this draft is 2nd-3rd round. There's not a lot of guys in the first that I think are worth first-round money so trade down, double up on your mid-round picks and have something to address each key need (OL, DB, RB and DL). Kubiak/Smith have done a decent job in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th so getting an extra one will probably pay off although I'll likely curse the choice because it almost never matches who I'd would take.

I think we have a winner....

I figured he was long gone before we picked, I have to think long and hard on passing him. I agree with you the next Patrick Willis.

Could be used as the future MLB/ backup and current WILL. Possibly he moves the current MIKE to WILL?

For now, I have narrowed it down to DT Dan Williams, or FS Thomas with pick #20. JMHO. Of course I wouldn't be mad if we traded out of the first round for some good picks in the second or third.

Trading down seems to be the netter way to fly. Then we can obtain 2 or 3 more TE's!

Right now, I have Brian Price, Earl Thomas, or trading down a few spots and taking Jahvid Best or best CB available. I have cooled on Dwyer.

I like Price because of his ability to put constant pressure on QB's right up the middle forcing them out of the pocket, therefore helping our DE's. Having a true penetrating DT would do wonders for this team.

He finished the year(13 games) with 23.5 TFL and 7 sacks, meaning he got 7 TFL and two sacks in his last three games.

I also like L. Houston, but most mocks have him gone by the time we pick in the second.
