If the rumors of the niners lovefest for Clausen are true, I'd love to see us trade down and take these two.

Q: What about #1 Dan Williams of Tennessee and Brian Price of UCLA?
DJ: "Dan Williams is a big-time 3-4 nose. To me, if you're going to invest as much money as you are in Aubrayo Franklin, and if you have a desire to get something done with him long-term, Dan probably isn't your guy. And I think he's going to go high, too. I think he'll go No. 12 to Miami. Price is one of my favorite players in this draft. I think he's a prototypical 4-3 player. I think he fits that a little better. He can get upfield. He's got inside pass rush and can penetrate. I think 4-3 teams are going to fall in love with him. He could be a 3-4 guy, but that's limiting what he does best, which is not sit there and clog but get around blocks and get upfield. Teams that play that Tampa or Indy style, that kind of attacking 4-3 defense, are going to be real high on him. A lot of people don't have him going in the first round, and I think that's insane."

Q: Which hybrid defensive ends/outside linebacker do you believe the 49ers could consider with one of their first-round selections?
DJ: "If #2 (Derrick) Morgan is there from Georgia Tech, he'd definitely worthy. I think he might be gone. He's perfect. He's probably the best pure pass-rusher in the draft. He's capable of doing that. For what they ask of him to do in that defense, he can do it. What they do with Mike Singletary is similar to what they did with Mike Nolan. Those guys major in attacking the quarterback and minor in dropping into coverage. He'd be fine. He's a big-time player. Another person who you really don't hear a whole lot about is Sergio Kindle of Texas. I think he's somebody they're going to have to really study and look at because he's got perfect size and speed and explosiveness for that position. He's strong. He's not as polished as a pass-rusher as Morgan. He's not as polished as (Brian) Orakpo, coming out of Texas, but he's a really, really good blitzer. So I could see him in the discussion for them."
