As a Florida State fan growing up and having done my undergrad and grad degrees at FIU, this is the best year I can remember that my 49ers can load up on picks from my schools and have them be actual picks that fit instead of wishful thinking by me.

Usually I always go to the draft chat boards and scream for this FSU guy or that guy knowing that they either wont be on the board or don't fit the scheme.

Though it is unlikely, there is a small chance that CB Xavier Rhodes could slip to us at the end of the 1st round due to a perceived lack of speed. He could fill our need at CB or S.( we lost Dashon Goldson) With the second pick of the 2nd round, we can get S Jonathan Cyprien from FIU to replace Dontae Whitner who's great in run support but can't cover.

A more realistic pick could be Margus Hunt out of SMU, but Tank Carridine of FSU could fit as a 3-4 end at # 34 if we take Cyprien at #32.

We have two 4th rounders, one of which I can see us taking Brandon Jenkins as a rush backer as we have lack of depth there. He missed all of last season so him being available there is not a stretch. Vince Williams would be a nice fit with our 5th rounder as we have two great starting middle LB but a lack of depth now due to free agency losses.

Our kicking problems were well known last year, so Dustin Hopkins would be a nice pick. He'll be gone by our 6th rounder so i'd take him in the 5th and hope Williams is there in the 6th.
