The San Francisco 49ers were in the NFC Championship game last season which means they're drafting at the end of the first round in the 2012 NFL draft. The 49ers don't have a ton of needs -- their roster is solid overall -- but many mock drafts have them targeting a receiver. SB Nation's 49ers blog, Niners Nation, predicts the 49ers will select WR Stephen Hill or G Kevin Zeitler.
NFL Draft 2012: 49ers Predictions Include Stephen Hill, Kevin Zeitler
Right now I tend to think WR Stephen Hill or OG Kevin Zeitler is the pick for the 49ers. Coby Fleener has been the popular pick, but with long-term needs at wide receiver and the interior of the offensive line, I think there is a strong chance they go with Hill or Zeitler. For the people convinced Coach Harbaugh wants Coby Fleener, Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke have often surprised people with their decisions, which seem to go against the expected notion.
