But since I can't do that, San Francisco 49ers select Michael Oher.
Even with Marvel Smith signing, the line has long been an injury issue for the team and Oher's abilities will suit the "4 yards and a cloud of dust" offense that it seems the 49ers are going to go with.

This was my post from the NFL mock draft thread a few months ago.
I'm posting that because of something that has come to light today.
From the SacBee beat writer today:

Remember, if Crabtree hadn't been available to the 49ers at pick no. 10, they would have selected Ole Miss offensive tackle Michael Oher, who would have been signed and starting at right tackle by this point.

And why is that important today?
Quote:
Marvel Smith's bad back has not improved over the offseason, and there's a good chance the nine-year veteran will hang up his cleats for good on Sunday or Monday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

So it like like the O-Line will once again be an issue.
