Under ShanaLynch, the 49ers have made 9 1st round picks. Of those, only 3 came in on 30 visits.
Which is to say, don't assume their pick at 27 will be a player they bring in on a visit. History says the chances are twice as high they won't bring the player they select in round 1 in for a visit.
I still find it interesting how news of all 3 came out around the same time, and how few other visits are known. That absolutely smells of the team wanting those visits to be known... for whatever reason.
Which of those three do you think Shanahan favors? I'll stick with Concepcion. I think they could be open to using a 4th to move up for whichever one they covet.
The 49ers drafted Blair. To this day I still believe that if Blair hadn't gotten injured late in the 2019 season the 49ers would have won the SB that year. He was experiencing a break out year before he blew his knee out.
Scooter or anyone else, how would you describe the difference between Saleh's D and Morris'?
My take, Morris puts a much bigger emphasis on twitched up pass rushers along the D-line but has similarities in the general structure of what Saleh calls on 1st/2nd downs.
Depends on which iteration you refer to for both. Saleh had a lot of lighter, faster DE/ OLB types at the Jets than he used with the 49ers, and ran a hybrid 3-4/ 4-3/ 5-2. I think that's the direction Saleh would have wanted to take them if he stayed. And it's where I think Morris will also take them.
I think the main difference is in the slot position. Morris likes using a STAR. Not sure if Saleh used that much with the Jets, but was also something he started doing more of last year with Pinnock.
But yeah, I general I think they are very similar. Which I think is partly why Morris hired Ulbrich.
Regarding Stukes, Brugler and Broadus identified him as a potential surprise late first round pick. Not that they expect it, but not outside the realm of possibility as a storyline nobody is talking about.

The 49ers will be hosting a Top 30 visit with Texas CB Malik Muhammad, per Erik J Turner.
DeleteThey will select some guys that visit. Just saying that in the 1st round, history suggests they don't show their hand.
Delete66% chance Cooper, Boston and Concepcion were brought in as subterfuge and/or drafted before the Niners pick?

DeleteYeah, Concepcion would be my guess, though I could make argument for all 3.
DeleteKeyshaun Elliott ranked 83rd in The Beast.
ReplyDeleteFormer Bengals DE Cam Sample agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers per Pelissero. This reminds me of the Ronald Blair signing.

DeleteI'm seeing reports of Cassius Howell with a top 30 visit, but I can't verify.

STAR meaning he likes a bigger DB that can play anywhere in the secondary, 6'1 205 type.
DeleteTreydan Stukes looks like he'd fit Morris' STAR position.
DeleteYeah correct, I mean that bigger DB that can play some pseudo LB/ nickel back.
DeleteHobbs will compete for that role. But I suspect they will try to add another DB that can compete there too.
Regarding Stukes, Brugler and Broadus identified him as a potential surprise late first round pick. Not that they expect it, but not outside the realm of possibility as a storyline nobody is talking about.
DeleteHadn't seen that. That's awfully rich but then again, Jimmy Ward went higher than I expected too.
