Look, there is going to be value at rush backer or WR when we pick in the first. The one advantage you have in picking later in the rounds is that although some of the elite talent is gone, the odds of a team making a mistake and causing a superior player to drop (relative to his overall grade) increases exponentially.
There is a good chance that one of Houston, Kerrigan, Jones, or even Aldon Smith could be available where we pick.
Some team will have a Tyson Jackson moment, and it will cause a player we never expected to drop to us. It's up to Pioli to pounce on that opportunity.
