Robert Griffin III and his Barney socks are headed to the NFL.

If the 49ers’ new coach and GM were trying to strike fear in the hearts of their fans, there was no better way than drafting an “A. Smith” in the first round. Of course, if Aldon Smith can deliver the same kind of sack and interception numbers that Alex provided, he will have been a steal at #7.

Going 49th (conveniently) to the San Francisco 49ers, is FS Taylor Mays out of USC. Surprised when passed over by ex-head coach Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks, Mays still goes north, to Mike Singletary & the Niners. Already a beefed up Offense, this is a nice pick-up for San Francisco, especially so far into the draft.

Love this pick.  It’s important to note that Chris Berman chose a Willie Mays reference rather than a Ronnie Lott reference when he talked about this pick.  He also considered saying, “A Taylor-made pick,” “A-Mays-ing he fell this far,” and “Another Trojan ‘war’ a 49ers uniform, and he made a ‘Lott’ of big plays.”
