Brock is in the upper right hand corner. Look where Tua is in comparison. Yikes!

Out of all these OT's, Membou/Banks/Ersery/Campbell/Milum, the one I feel most confident about sticking at OT is Membou.
ReplyDeleteI lean towards Membou, but the question is does he command a top 15 pick? If he rates better then Campbell then a 11 pick is possible, imo.
ReplyDeleteI think it's possible Membou climbs into the 20's with a strong combine.
DeleteI don't think any of them a worth pick 11.
DeleteNope.
DeleteInterestingly enough, CBS Sports Chris Trapasso has the Membou going 11 to the 49ers. Membou seems to climbing up in some boards.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Membou to most of the currently highly touted OT prospects, but at 11 feels like too high a risk to me. The upside is definitely there though. I personally would take Josh Simmons over him.
DeleteMembou, Simmons and Conerly are the three best OT prospects imo, though each have their own concerns. Then Will Campbell.
Just my opinion, but I feel if you are taking an OT high you want them to have the athletic upside to be a dominant player, and I just don't see that with Campbell. Though I do like Campbell's ability to anchor and to move people in the run game.
If Conerly or Simmons can make it to 43 the 49ers could grab the one available then get their DT or Edge at 11. Pierce, Williams, Green, Kenneth Grant or Shemar Stewart could there for the taking.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly I'm not as much on the bandwagon that the 49ers need to draft an OT high as many. For mine the bigger issue on the OL is the interior.
DeleteMain reason I could see taking an OT round 1 is more for the future when Trent retires.
But Membou could be a guy they put at LG to start and take over from Trent down the line.
One draftsite has the 49ers picking Jonah Savaiinea at 11 which is to high for me. He seems to be the consensus top 3 Olineman with Campbell rated the highest. I believe that aside from the their great play and measurable's their level of competition is a factor as well.
ReplyDeletePro Football Network and PFF have the 49ers selecting Olineman Kevin Banks. PFN noted to the effect that if the 49ers pay Purdy big money, they will build a strong Oline to keep him clean. And also find an Olineman that could fill Trent's place when he's ready to retire.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that the 49ers could dip into the 3-4 rd and find another gem like Puni and pick DT or Edge at 11.
Yeah, DL at 11 is the way I'm leaning as well.
DeleteSimilar to my thoughts on OL, I think DT is more important to improve than DE. Bosa, Floyd, YGM and Sam O will all be back - that's a good enough group if you give them strong play from the DT group. Though I'm all for adding a DE if s really good one is staring them in the face.
But end of the day so long as the bulk up both the OL and DL with decent investment I'll be pretty happy.
I've got a feeling Drake Jackson never plays another down for the 49ers.
DeleteYeah, I think Beal could go the same way too.
DeleteQuite possible.
DeleteAgree. And, I hate to give them credit, but the Rams seem to have set the bar for drafting of late. They put emphasis on their Dline and it has brought big dividends. If the 49ers D can keep teams consistently scoring under 20pts there's a good chance they can win between 12-14 games in 2025.
ReplyDeleteDevin Neal, RB, Kansas is another 3rd round gem. Superb vision with outstanding footwork.
ReplyDeleteAssuming the 49ers do indeed release Hargrave as expected, I think they need to add two DTs at least this offseason. And at least one has to be a starter - ideally two as I would prefer Collins be moved to a rotational role.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a great DT FA class, which will make it hard to find a starter there. One lowish cost guy I would consider though is Poona Ford, who just had a fantastic year at the Chargers.
In the draft, there's obviously a lot of early round options, but if they need to add two guys through the draft then a couple of day 3 options I would strongly consider are CJ West and Jordan Phillips. Both are 1T options with some good athleticism for their size. Put them next to a true 3T drafted in round 1 or 2 and you could have a nice starting tandem for a few years.
I like what I saw from both West and Phillips. I agree they need Collins as rotational only. 2 iDL through the draft, one starting iDL through F/A and I like adding an edge in round 2 if a good one is available.
DeleteThoughts on DT Simeon Barrow Jr outta Miami? A whopping 1800 snaps, 16 sacks and an excellent run stuffer.
DeleteNot as high on Barrow as West or Phillips. He's surprisingly stout for his size, but end of the day he's a bit undersized for my liking and at that size isn't as disruptive in the backfield as I'd like to see.
DeleteBarrow feels more like a potential solid depth guy to me.
Utah State, WR, Jalen Royals is a day 2 yac attack built for this offense. Kinda flying under the radar right now.
ReplyDeleteThe most common statement I hear on this site regarding the 9ers #11 pick is: I like this guy or that guy but not at #11. I think there is a decent chance the 9ers FO might feel the same way. Because of that it wouldn't surprise me if they move back once or twice in the first round. A late first and 3 picks in the 2nd round sounds pretty good to me.
ReplyDeleteTrading down in the first round from 11 might be challenging. Maybe a team like the Colts wants Warren and they get wind that another team is looking to get above them for him.
DeleteOC, imo the 49ers will be lucky if a guy is there at 11 that is a blue chip prospect at a position of value and need. So yes, a trade down would make sense to me, if someone is willing.

Jalon Walker is reportedly believed to be the “scariest” true LB to enter the NFL Draft since Micah Parsons.
ReplyDeleteSome NFL scouts reportedly believe Walker has “levels of Micah Parsons” to his game and is “worth” a Top-8 pick.
Walker is also reportedly believed to be ”on the same level” as Roquan Smith was as a prospect coming out of Georgia.
Some players from Texas reportedly believe Walker is the “scariest LB they’ve ever faced” in their football career’s after playing him twice this season.
The Bulldogs LB can COMPLETELY change an NFL LB’s room 🔥
If Walker goes 8 there's a real possibility Graham could be on the board at 11.
