The 49ers take Mark Sanchez here. Once again, the temptation to take Orakpo is overwhelming, until you look at the depth chart at QB. Shaun Hill and Alex Smith don't exactly scream "long-term solution". Sanchez is considered by some to be the more pro-ready signal caller of the QB crop in this draft. Singletary has dedicated his offense to the running game, which is perfect for bringing along a new QB. Relying on Frank Gore not just for handoffs but also as a receiver out of the backfield will make Sanchez look a lot better than he will be in the beginning.

Orakpo fits the bill for the tough kind of defender Singletary would seemingly love. But he has just been given the keys to the franchise--just had the interim title taken off his door. He is no fool. Coaches rise and fall on QB play. This is his chance to start fresh at the QB spot with "his" choice. I think Singletary takes the California kid and has dreams of Flacco, Ryan and Roethlisberger.

 What about Matt Leinert or Todd Marinovich? USC doesn’t produce the best QB’Z…

Carson Palmer went to SC,

as did Rodney Peete. (Not so sure that’s a ringing endorsement)

Leinart may still be a damned good QB, methinks. Hasn’t really gotten enough playing time.

Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.

By the way,

just as a point of clarification, does “Do you agree with this pick?” mean you agree that it’s what the particular team WILL do, or that you agree that it’s what they SHOULD do?

Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.

Should do...

ie – would this be a good pick for the team (taking into factor who else is left on the board)
