7. San Francisco 49ers: Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M

By Joshua Russell of The Red and Gold

With Patrick Peterson, Blaine Gabbert and Cam Newton all off the board, the 49ers have to address the defensive side of the ball. Von Miller is both a sack artist and plays the coverage really well. With Takeo Spikes having 1-2 years left max and no guarantee that free agent Manny Lawson returns, Von Miller could be the perfect complement to perennial pro bowler and all-world, Patrick Willis. The number four overall player on Mel Kiper's 'Big Board', Von Miller will be too tempting for the 49ers to pass on.

It's rare that two of the top three or four players in the draft fall out of the Top Five and fall into a spot that fits them perfectly, but that very well could happen with AJ Green in Cleveland and Von Miller in San Francisco. The 49ers have been in dire need of an impact edge rusher. Rumors are that their new coach Jim Harbaugh may want to make the switch to a 4-3, but the team is built around the 3-4 now, and Miller can fit into either one, with time. Miller is both a great value and a great fit, and could make a major impact in the pass rush in his first year in the league.
