Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen is expected to be "in the mix" for the 49ers' pick at No. 49 overall.
FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the York ownership family is high on Clausen, even if they didn't love him enough to make him a first-round pick. In related news, ESPN's Michael Smith adds that he believes the Panthers would pass on both Clausen and Colt McCoy at No. 48 overall, increasing the likelihood that the Notre Dame alum could make it to San Francisco.
The 49ers are expected to lean toward defense in round two after selecting two offensive linemen on Friday.
The Niners need safety help, and Taylor Mays, Morgan Burnett, and Nate Allen are all still available. Beat writer Matt Maiocco suggests LSU DT Al Woods, an impressive specimen who didn't produce much in college. OLB prospects Koa Misi, Ricky Sapp, and Jason Worilds are also possibilities.
