The 49ers want to move down. Look for San Francisco to maybe take less than the book value of the 16th overall pick to move down. San Francisco has been calling teams with picks in the 20s and trying to deal down. The reason is simple. The Niners want a wide receiver, maybe two, and they know the difference between, say, Reggie Williams of Washington at 16 and Lee Evans of Wisconsin at 26 is negligible. The extra pick would allow them to pad their draft with a low two or high three, maybe enabling them to get a bigger possession receiver --which they're lacking -- like 6-foot-3 P.K. Sam of Florida State.

Hmmm ... If Mr. Jackson is still there after the 15th pick, I wonder if there's any chance ...

Nah ...
