Hey everyone, hope everyone was able to sit down and watch the 2009 Draft unfold on ESPN over the weekend. I was out of town with my wife’s company she works for but did get to catch parts of the draft here and there. Great steal by grabbing Michael Crabree with the #10 overall pick I thought!

Here are how things ended up with the 49ers and the draft.

Round 1:
#10 pick Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech

Round 3:
#47 pick Glen Coffee RB Alabama

Round 5:
#146 pick Scott McKillip LB Pittsburgh
#171 pick Nate Davis QB Ball State

Round 6:
#184 pick Bear Pascoe TE Fresno State

Round 7:
#219 Curtis Taylor FS LSU
#244 Ricky Jean-Francois DL LSU

Also so far these free agents have signed with the team:

Kory Sheets RB Purdue
Alex Boone OT Ohio State
Jahi Word-Daniels CB Georgia Tech
Pannel Egboh DE Stanford
Carlos Thomas CB South Carolina

It’s draft time once again, and everyone is wondering who the 49ers will draft with the 10th pick in the draft? Or will they even pick in that spot or possibly drop back a little bit and pick up extra draft picks? Draft guru’s Todd McShay and Mel Kiper have released their latest mock drafts. So here is how things shape up as of now by these two “gurus”

Todd McShay = Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas

Mel Kiper = Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri

Could Josh Freeman drop enough to the #10 spot for the 49ers to grab him? That is one questions that is going around on the blogs right now. I don’t want Freeman that is one thing I will make clear. He hasn’t shown me the accuracy and composure that I want at the quarterback position.

So who do you think the 49ers will take with their first round pick on Saturday?

The San Francisco 49ers were hoping that wide receiver Issac Bruce would come back for another season and finish out his contract and that is exactly what the veteran will be doing. He informed the team on April 1 that he would like to come back and be part of the team for another season.

This is good news for the 49ers as they sure could use Bruce at one of th wideout positions. Bruce led San Francisco with 61 catches for 835 yards and seven touchdowns last season, his first with the 49ers after 14 seasons with the Rams.

Despite some fans thinkings out there, I wouldn’t expect Bruce to be catching balls from Jay Cutler. The Broncos want two first round picks and not a quarterback in return. I just don’t see the 49ers management getting in on the talks for Cutler.
