San Francisco 49ers 2008 Draft Preview
The 49ers have to win in 2008 in order for Mike Nolan to keep his job, and for that to happen, new coordinator Mike Martz's offense must take hold. Since the Niners look set to gamble with either Alex Smith or Shaun Hill at the quarterback spot, the next potential trouble spot to address is along the line. With the No. 29 pick, the club ought to take the best lineman - preferably a tackle - available. Elsewhere, San Francisco brought in a couple of receivers (Isaac Bruce, Bryant Johnson) to help out, but needs at least one more contributor in that area. The defense is better following the signings of end Justin Smith (Bengals) and Dontarrious Thomas (Vikings), but the club still lacks a high-level edge pass rusher, and needs depth throughout all areas of the defensive two-deep.
