Another look at the 2013 draft

My TV broke last Thursday (I did manage to watch the game on Sunday) so I've had a lot of free time over the past few days.
I decided to use that time to look at the draft. I ran across www.drafttek.com and thought I'd play around with it.

Here's what I came up with:
draft round - player - college [height weight] position [average 40 time] {rank of position}

other positions - injury notes

(This one was after adjusting things as I thought they should be)
Round 2 - Desmond Trufant - Washington [6' 0" 186 lbs] CB [4.48 Average 40] {3 of 238}
Round 3 - Josh Evans - Florida [6' 1" 200 lbs] FS [4.54 Average 40] {7 of 132}

can also play SS

What do you think?
It will all change after free agency, assuming we do anything, but if the draft were tomorrow... I think I'd be happy with either of these. I'm kind of partial to the one I altered though.

love the positions . . . but i haven't really looked into the draft prospects or paid enough attention to college football to be able to say i like/dislike the players . . .

i feel we need to address the secondary the most in the draft . . . especially CB as if we are going to spend on secondary in FA i would prefer we spent on the cheaper secondary positions and find good CB's in the draft . . . hopefully Minnefield can get healthy as he if so he would be great to have around

Not sure if I'm on board with our round 7 pick, but I can see Shanahan doing something crazy like that.
2 corners
2 safeties
2 O-line
1 Flier on a 7th rounder...

I'd take that.

May not all be necessary, depending on free agency, but we definitely need the secondary help.
Who knows...

Darius Slay is shooting up draft boards, if he has a good combine watch out!
