If the 49ers are interested in Nolen, why wait until pick 17? For me, the only thing in this deal that stands out is the 3rd pick in 26 Blue is good, but his speed doesn't show up in games as much in watching his tape. Also, Blue had a dang good Oline to open holes.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the B. Tuten wagon, who has been a very productive RB sans the stars on his Oline.
3rd rd pick in 26.
DeleteThe 49ers offseason program dates have been announced:
ReplyDelete• First Day: April 22
• OTA Offseason Workouts: May 27-28, May 30, June 2-3, June 5
• Mandatory Minicamp: June 10-11
Jalen Walker isn’t really an off the ball LB (UGA tried in ‘23). He wants to destroy moving forward at all times. I don't understand those that mock him in the top with that in mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I have a really hard time projecting him to thr NFL. He's very undersized and underdeveloped for a DE, but I don't like him at LB.
DeleteI think he needs to go to a 3-4 team.
• Darien Porter – Iowa State
ReplyDelete• Zah Frazier – UTSA
2 scheme specific players that fit us to a tee. Long, ball skills, can run and most comfortable with their back to the sideline to use their zone eyes.
Yep, can definitely see them being options.
DeleteZah Frazier:
Delete➖#1 Ballhawk (INTs + PBUs per snap) score of the 70 CBs we graded
➖5.6% missed tackle rate (#1 in the class)
➖Coming off 6 INT season in 2024
From Brett Kollmann.
ReplyDeleteHere's a fun CJ West stat for you.
Indiana's average depth on tackle against A-gap runs last season was just 2.11 yards. The next closest team was 2.75.
Indiana faced only 85 such runs, which was 104th in the country, but had 29 TFLs or no gains. That was 4th-most!
West would look great ín a 49ers uniform.
ReplyDeleteNolen, Femi and West would make me very happy.
ReplyDeleteI like Femi, but I think he is being overrated atm. When he was considered a day 3 steal I was right on board. Now I am hearing he could go as high as the 2nd, which is far too high imo.
DeleteEarliest I'd take him is where you have - 3rd round comp pick. Though I think he should be a 4th rounder. Love his attitude and he has nice traits, but he is still a project and very raw as a pass rusher.
I think he could end up being very good in this scheme.
DeleteYes sir!
ReplyDelete49ers are bringing quite a few guys in for top 30 visits that I'm not a huge fan of. Kelvin Banks the latest.
ReplyDeleteMe either.
DeleteGood news regarding Walter Nolen; Jordan Reid of ESPN, “Every source I have spoken to about Nolen has told me that interviews and interactions with him have gone very well.”
ReplyDeleteIf true, he's my pick at 11.
DeleteI'm certain Nick Bosa would agree.
DeleteIt might be an indication that the 49ers should stay at #11 with a better at Nolen. That is, if the 49ers are seriously targeting him.
ReplyDeleteJarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn career numbers (compared to other '25 prospects)
ReplyDelete+ YPC: 6.3 (4th among 31 RBs)
+ MTF/Att: 0.31 (T-4th)
+ YACo/Att: 3.96 (4th)
+ Breakaway Run %: 10.2% (2nd)
Mukuba is an early day 3 FS for mine. Agility isn't good enough and his lack of length compound the problem.
ReplyDeletePlayer I like is Malik Verdon S Iowa State. He has a knack for always being around the ball and plays with good instincts that make up for his average 4.5 40 speed. Yet, coming in at 6'4" and 220 lbs is not bad for a Safety. He's a bigger version of Tal Hufanga. I think he may be available on day 3.
DeleteYou are picking Zabel with the second overall pick so the talent must be there. Talent in itself is not enough for the position, is Zabel smart and does he play with an attitude?
ReplyDeleteMeasured at 6-foot-6 and 312 pounds
DeleteHas nearly 1,000 snaps at both left tackle and right tackle
Allowed just 4 career sacks in over 1,100 pass protection snaps
1st-team All-American as a senior
Voted top Senior Bowl practice player by the players
Turned 23 in March
Kinda reminds me of Alex Mack.
According to Matt Miller the belief is that the 49ers absolutely love Harold Fannin Jr and will try to trade back to get extra picks before taking him round 1.
ReplyDeleteFor a bit of fun I decided to do a mock with this scenario. Buffalo were very accommodating, giving me 30, 56, 62, 109 and 132 for pick 11.
Delete30. Harold Fannin Jr, TE
43. Donovan Jackson, OG
56. Tyleik Williams, NT
62. TJ Sanders, DT
75. Josaiah Stewart, DE
100. Femi Oladejo, DE
109. Chris Paul Jr, LB
113. Zah Frazier, CB
132. Kyle Williams, WR
138. Bhayshul Tuten, RB
147. Chase Lundt, OT
160. Billy Bowman, S
227. Nick Martin, LB
249. Jabbar Muhammad, CB
252. Ahmed Hassanein, DL

ReplyDeleteHonestly no more- please-
DeleteThanks Coach. Draftmas is right around the corner.
DeleteJohn Lynch and the 49ers hold the 7th-most valuable draft capital in the league this year - their highest since 2019.
ReplyDeleteOL Branson Taylor recently visited with the 49ers and had a private workout, per RyanFowler.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are putting the work in on day 3 swing OG/OT types.
DeletePretty much how they've built their OL is through draft and development except for the starting LT position and Center. The two they hold most precious to the execution level required to allow the offense efficacy.
DeleteEvery year fans complain about their offensive line philosophy and they're perfectly fine to disagree with it, (although it does get very annoying), however you can't disagree with how it's worked.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I agree there. The OL has been average to above average most of the Shanahan era, in large part due to run game, but rarely great and often only average in pass pro. Which is a large part of the reason why many fans want upgrades.
DeleteThe Shanahan offense is predicated on the run game.
DeleteYes it is. But I still think it is fair for fans to disagree with both the approach and the results in consideration of the results in pass pro, which can be pretty hit ot miss.
DeleteYep, they can bitch about it to their hearts content. Brendel is trash, blah, blah, but in the end it doesn't change the fact that their philosophy, whether you disagree or you don't has been proven twice with the SB appearances and divisional titles. I do find it comical though because the ones screaming the loudest either don't understand that we are a run first team or won't even entertain the idea to calm down their rantings about the offensive line. Why did our run game suffer last year? Miscalculation of losing Woerner. Foerster said as much when he singled out Saubert's inability to replace him. Wasn't their first choice but it seem Farrell might rectify that.
DeleteThe OL is decent so yes, anyone complaining it's trash is exaggerating.
DeleteRun game suffered for more reasons than the TE. Brendel started the year poorly due to his knee (better second half of the year) and as much as Puni looked good, he had some struggles in the run game. Williams being out a lot didn't help either, and neither did having the LG position being a revolving door due to injury.
Get more continuity this year and it will be better.
Agreed but Foerster specifically pointed out that Saubert wasn't able to reproduce what Woerner did for them. Brendel played the season injured. He's tough as nails. Never missed a game.
DeleteI agree with your points regarding the continuity and injuries. I'm just pointing out that Woerner did a lot for them in the run game.
DeleteHad the 49ers played the Eagles in the NFC Championship game last year Brock would likely had been more beat up than Mahomes was in the SB. The Oline needs help ASAP.
ReplyDeleteYet it was the same OL that led the league in '23 in rushing offense which got them to a SB. They upgraded their RG and not for $20M. LG is now up for grabs.
DeleteThe 49er have been a little slow in seriously targeting an heir-apparent for the eventual retirement of Trent Williams. I hope they don't miss out on that opportunity later this month. There may only be a hand-full that could be D1 starters and become TW replacement in time.
ReplyDeleteLooking for that person in the 3rd rd and beyond is a little to hopeful imho.
Next years OL class is so much better AES and their scouts keep them informed many years in advance to coincide with need as to each years strengths and weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteRazor,
DeleteI hear you. But waiting a year might put the 49ers in a precarious situation if Brock does not survive this year. With Purdy in line to receive 2 brinks trucks, it's important to give him stout protection this year. If Membou is gone by the 10th pick, Kevin Banks or Campbell could become a D1S.
Could be it'll all be up to Foerster and if he believes Membou, Banks or Campbell are future dancing bears. I'd be surprised if they address OL before round 3 tbh.
DeleteI saw some tape on the guy you mentioned a month ago. Charles Grant would be a nice piece in the 3rd rd.
ReplyDeleteAnother 2nd day OL like is Carson Vinson. Could use a year of refining. But the kid has the passion, athleticism, and great character that might pique the 49ers interest.
DeleteThat's who I think they target in Round 3.
DeleteMy apologies to any who are bothered by my post but AES and I like it. So here goes. 19 days until the draft
ReplyDeleteYes! Let's go, Coach!
ReplyDeleteInteresting draft. I would end up quite happy with this one for certain.
ReplyDeleteRazor, what were some of the harder decisions on this ie who were you choosing between that you torn on?
Thanks Shoup. Pick 43 pretty much is where I struggle cuz you've got talent at pretty much every position of need.
DeleteMakes sense at pick 11 you kinda have an idea of a plan... But if a few of the guys you like go before 43 you likely need to adjust your strategy.
Delete18 days until the draft
ReplyDeleteRJ Harvey:
ReplyDelete4.40 40
18.5 mph at 10 yards
#1 in class
14% of runs gained 15+ yards
#2 in class
8.2 YPC on outside runs
#1 in class
It's either Harvey or Tuten for me, but hopefully in rd 4. Tuten reminds me a little of Frank Gore. And Harvey has a little Barry Sanders with his ability to make tackler's miss.
ReplyDeleteIt's the 8.2 ypc on outside zones that sealed it for me. I'd imagine it got Bobby's attention.
DeleteMason Graham is a great prospect. Lateral movement and quickness are outstanding and thats usually how he wins reps, but its also his weakness as he spends more time working sideline to sideline than into the backfield. Nolen has done it at every alignment and is slightly more explosive and disruptive working towards the backfield/pocket and that is the small difference for me.
ReplyDeleteI really like Nolen a lot, since you brought him to my attention and seeing tape on him. I only wonder if he will be there at #17 in your current mock. I would stay at 11 which would give the 49ers a better shot at him. If they to trade up to get him, I wouldn't be mad at them, either.
ReplyDeleteMilroe accepts invite from NLF draft. Sounds like he's going 1st round, maybe even top 12.👀
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I think Saleh will love about Femi is his discipline to maintain containment while crushing the pocket.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will. Lots to like. But he still is a very raw edge player that shouldn't be taken until late day 2 at the earliest, imo. No need in such a deep edge class to take a project really high.
DeleteI agree but as they've shown, they don't give a crap what anyone else thinks when it comes to where they take their guy.
DeleteOh for sure. I'm not saying they won't do it. They've done it before. Just that they shouldn't, imo.
DeleteI'll also say that a lot of the times they've "reached" for a guy they really liked (relative to consensus) it hasn't worked out too well. Last year is really the only time I can think of where they took guys on day 1 or 2 higher than expected for those players (Pearsall and Green) and it looks like it might work out.
The Tre Harris hive has been buzzing under the radar. I'm surprised he hasn't been talked about much. Do you think he could actually be there at 43?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's interesting. I think folk are wary of guys coming out of that offense.
DeleteI really like him. I think he plays faster than his 4.54, especially once he gets going. Build up speed, but surprisingly fast once moving. And he's pretty good with his movements to create space too.
But must admit when I first started talking about him I hadn't looked at the two Iowa State guys in depth yet. I really like both of them - to the point I would not blame any team that takes either in the first round. If you are after a true X I think I would take Higgins over Harris.
Texas WR Matthew Golden has accepted an invitation to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.
ReplyDeleteWhich running back in this class would most complement the two they already have in CMC and Guerendo?
ReplyDeleteI like RJ Harvey as a change of pace RB. Great speed, vision, and juke ability. Only question is in what rd are the 49ers willing to take him.
DeleteAnother guy I like is "Chip" Trayanum. He's played LB, but settled in as a RB. When I saw his tape, I thought it was Deebo. Same body type and running style. He could be available in the 6-7 rd. He may also be an UDFA.
If we're talking day 3 guys, I really think Breshard Smith could be a great complement.
DeleteAgree.
DeleteWhich team is targeting Milroe in Round 1, Steelers, Saints or ?
ReplyDelete17 days until the draft
ReplyDeleteA day closer to Draftmas, Coach.
ReplyDeleteDL, Omarr Norman-Lott is in for a visit with the 49ers. He would be a nice pick in the late 3rd rd. Which rd do you guys think he's drafted in?
ReplyDeleteYep, 3rd.
DeleteLott was also coached by Herm Edwards while at ASU so Lynch I'm assuming got intel on him.
DeleteWalter Nolen in for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI'll be surprised if he's not their guy.
DeleteRazor,
ReplyDeleteI agree.
Unsurprisingly, lots of DL in the top 30 visits. Also unsurprisingly, lots of explosive athletes.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Bosa and Williams were the top two DL in the draft? Maybe we got a Mykel Williams vs a Walter Nolen at 11?
DeleteCould well be razor.
DeleteDL, it's definitely an area of concern.
DeleteTony Pauline is saying up to 8 edge players could go in the first round and that if the Bengels take an edge it could start a run on them with teams from the bottom looking to trade up for one.
ReplyDeleteDeacon Jones was born 60 years to early. I can only imagine how much money he would be making today.
ReplyDeleteIf you're in the top 25% of play action efficiency you will win a lot games (9-15). Bottom 25% and you don't win many (5).
ReplyDeleteArkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa would be an interesting day 3 target for the 49ers.
ReplyDeleteIn todays NFL iDL could very well be more important than edge.
ReplyDeleteCosell is predicting 20 DT's go in the first 3 rounds. Better get 'em while you can!
ReplyDeleteThe 49ers could go ED and iDL with their 1st and 2nd rd picks and assure themselves of very good talent on defense. Then find their OL guys between 3rd and 4th rds. Their own along with Comp picks could help at WR, CB, RB, LB.
ReplyDeleteAES
DeleteI think the D line is in shambles I would include a DL for the third pick. I still am of the belief that defense wins championships. Might as well might as well build a superb one thru the draft. If there was a really good guard/center, that might sway me to take them in the third, but I would go right back at the DL with the fourth pick. A stout defense will make the offense better. They still have playmakers on offense, and Burford could play either guard position. Regardless of what they do, depth is going to be very thin.
Good point, UC.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wouldn't mind to see them double dip on DL in later rds. Like Razor has said, this is a deep draft for Dlinemen.
16 days until the draft
ReplyDeleteLet's go! Fingers crossed for this draft, Coach.
