My crystal ball says the 49ers will trade up in the first round to get the
Steelers pick at 17 and will use it on a defender.

That's a bold prediction worth saving....

Even a blind hog finds an acorn on occasion.

I have been think they trade up as well and get either a DT or a DE.

A small nit, hogs look for acorns? I’m pretty sure it’s a squirrel but
I have seen others write it your way too, so I’m not correcting you.
I remember watching the show “Kung Fu” years ago and the blind monk
master said: “Even a blind man should not be punished twice for making
a mistake” I've never forgotten that lesson.

I agree. In my view, they don't need much, but in key
positions, who they end up with must come on strong
and contribute early.

===============================

Wild hogs use their snout to sniff out roots, acorns, and the like. Being
omnivorous they might also eat a squirrel if they could catch one. There is
an old saying "Root hog or die" from the south. There are multiple country
and folk songs using the term.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing, I never thought I would learn about
hogs in this group.

They need DL help, big time and they need to look after replacing
Justin Smith. Second comes a need for tall WR's. Third would be the
safety spot and probably some RB depth.

I think it's a good prediction. Don't know specifically about swapping with
the Steelers, but like the idea of moving up.

I disagree. Top need is secondary (either or both). Having said that,
their first pick will depend on if they can or do move up, and what quality
secondary personnel are available when they do get to pick. WR is no longer
a top priority, but I agree, they will sign one early on, as well as a TE.
The draft is fairly deep in Dline and WR. Like always, quality DB's will be
hard to find. If there is a good one around when they get to choose, they
will take him.

If they don't get a good pass rush, whomever is in the secondary is at
increased risk of getting burned. Remember 2011, when the pass rush
was awesome and the secondary benefited from the pressure?

Same guys in 2012 did not fair as well when the pass rush performance
fell off.
