49ersNews.com has collaborated with Niner Cap Hell (NinerCapHell.com) for the NFL Draft Chat this weekend. Feel free to stop by and join other Niner fans to talk the draft.
From John Clayton:
Niners thinking defense: The 49ers are comfortable moving in a different direction if tight end Vernon Davis is gone before they pick sixth. They love linebacker A.J. Hawk and would fit him into their 3-4 scheme. They still have the ability to add to their defense with the 22nd pick and would like to get a big cornerback. Antonio Cromartie would be ideal. Still, Davis would be perfect for Alex Smith and the 49ers offense. He doesn’t have the strongest arm, so adding a tight end who affords him easier throws in the middle of the field will make him a better quarterback.
