^ if anything big wrs dont fit into Martz system, Desean Jackson would be a perfect fit, and theres a possibility that he may fall to us.
I think the niners WR core is pretty done with
Bruce, Djack (unless hes cut), Battle, Jason Hill, id expect battle to stay @ 3rd, Hill to move to 2nd, and Djack to be 4th wr.
With lelie spelling if he makes the team, this is gonna be a good competition @ WR this year....
Quentin Groves may fall to us in the 2nd round, that would be a nice pass rusher.

yeah lol
so on 4-5 Wr sets it could be
Jackson,Hill, Battle, Bruce
With Vernon Davis, Or Delanie Walker @ TE
Or Walker @ Hybrid FB
on double TE sets we could see
Walker, Battle, Bruce, Gore, Davis
I formation could have Walker @ Fullback, and throw Gore, Walker, Davis, Battle , Bruce out on passing downs.
thats the beauty of martz schemes, alotta times he throws 5 people out on passing downs, from different formations

Rice says it's OK for Bruce to wear No. 80
Jerry Rice has given the go-ahead for Isaac Bruce to wear his No. 80 with the 49ers. The club has not issued No. 80 since Rice's final season with 49ers in 2000, though it's not officially retired.
Rice, speaking on his SIRIUS NFL Radio show, "Late Hits," cited Steve Largent's willingness to allow Rice to wear No. 80 when he joined the Seahawks during the 2004 season. Rice played 11 games for the Seahawks.
"I have always respected Isaac Bruce," Rice said. "I don't know what is going to happen in that scenario but if it was left up to me I would say, 'Yeah.' For Steve Largent to do what he did for me he showed me a side of him where I just feel like I have to do the same thing. He set the standard. It would be left up to Isaac and myself to sit down and talk or if the 49ers decide to do something like that it is OK with me."
Bruce has not commented publicly on the subject.Bruce signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the 49ers last week. On a conference call to announce his signing, Bruce said he had not thought about what number he would wear. He said he answer that question in a couple weeks.
Bruce wore No. 80 with the Rams for 14 seasons after entering the league as a second-round draft pick out of Memphis. Bruce took the number, in part, because of his respect for Rice.
Bruce is third all-time in the NFL with 14,109 receiving yards. He ranks behind Rice (22,895) and Tim Brown (14,934).
