Last year, Kiper had us take:
Rd. 1 (30) G Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin (starts at RG for Cinci)
Rd. 2 (61) WR Rueben Randle, LSU (backs up Victor Cruz in NY; had 53 catches for 917 and 8 TDs--he would have been a LOT better than Jenkins)
Rd. 3 (92) DT Mike Martin, Michigan (back-up DT in Tennessee)

Kiper's Analysis at the time: Well, I know 49ers fans won't jump up and down about the guard pick, but let's be clear about San Francisco. Regardless of who it adds in the passing game, it's clear to all that Alex Smith isn't going to become Aaron Rodgers, and if this team wants to be successful on offense, it simply has to be able to run the ball, and with power. In many years, Zeitler would be the top guard taken. He will come in capable of starting. I'm also really tempted by WR Stephen Hill in this spot. But instead of that, I get a nice value in the passing game with Randle, a guy with good size capable of stretching the field, late in Round 2. If Randy Moss provides something in 2012, Randle could develop late as a threat and then become a starter in 2013. Martin is insurance for the 49ers because Justin Smith played at such an incredible level in 2011 that the thought of him being injured should scare San Francisco. If Martin plays with Smith's motor, he could develop into a good 3-technique in that scheme.


These aren't/weren't mock drafts, projections, just what Kiper would have done/do at each slot when the team was picking. At the time, no one had any idea how Boone would play at guard. I am not even sure H and Baalke had really decided to put him there.
