    I like Chris Polk - highly doubt we draft RB in the 2nd round though. We have CJ for another 5 years and we drafted Harper in the 3rd this year.

    Well as of right now, we'd be drafting 13th. Here's what I would like to see in our draft:

    1st Round: Vontaze Burfict, LB, ASU
    2nd Round: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
    3rd Round: Vinny Curry, OLB/DE, Marshall
    4th Round: Antonio Allen, SS, South Carolina

    Our pass rush has been terrible this year. 28th overall in the NFL in Sacks (14), although some teams haven't had a bye yet. I want our MEAN defense back, and we'll do that by switching to the 3-4. It'll look something like this:

    ----Jones -- Smith -- Morgan ----
    -- Ayers ---- WW ---- Burfict --- Curry

    We'd need to target some depth at LB in the free agency. Konz would be our starting C, then Amano and Harris would battle for the starting LG spot. I'd also like to see us go after a legit #2 WR like: Bowe, Manningham, Steve Johnson, Mike Wallace, Garcon, Edwards, Steve Smith (Eagles), or Brandon Llyod.

    With that draft (improving our D and C) and adding an additional leigt WR. We could make a push for the playoffs.

    We're not switching to a 3-4.

    Of course we're not, but in my fantasyland we are.

    To be honest, we would have to really Rebuild our front to go to a 34 d... And then it's extremely risky, new roles, completely new scheme... An unproven coach probably... Ayers is really the only piece we would start with being he's a moderate grade rush lb... But then what about nt? Eh. Too much to do ^in a short time. It would take 2 drafts to complete and even then would be a major risk of failure on all fronts, what happens to the picks when it's a wash? Multiple picks down the drain..

    But if we had someone with a really proven track record of the d... And knew how to build it properly.. I would be for it. But we don't.

    Shaun Smith was NT on the Chiefs 3-4. JJ seems like a prototype 3-4 DE.

    The big thing to me would be finding some Patrick Willis/Navorro Bowman type linebackers.

    I think we need to take the best available DL in the first round and OL in the second. I feel the two most important upgrades needed are the pass rush & interior linemen.

    Pass rush is a must. Dt have to get better. Wr core needs depth.

    And we also need a legit power back, Harper isn't a power back at heart, he wants to be cj and doesn't understand his place.
