I think some of the FO's reaching with their draft picks is because Vinny was around/maybe influential when the niners reached for TO in the third round. He's trying to strike gold again.

That's a good point...I always forget about TO's beginnings in SF...dude's been around.
Orakpo, i suspect, may be falling but i'm not sure he's worth the pick. I was just reading an analyst on Yahoosports that has Orakpo as only the 4th best DE in this year's draft. Honestly he seems like like a coming "surprise" where everybody expected him to go early but teams decide to pass on him. My best hope for a falling player is Raji...that would be the shit! We take him and then work like hell to trade Colston (maybe package him w/ a pick) to get a 2nd rounder and draft the best OL available. Sort of fantasizing LOL.
