  2. Rumours are yhe 49ers have received offers for 33, but so far nothing sufficient to get them to move.

    1. Lol! He was in my all underrated draft. Really like him. Don't like him at 33 though.

      Delete
    2. Would've liked him better at 58 but I think we got our answer on Morris' input. Typical 49ers don't give two **cks about where they draft a kid as long as they believe in him and the fit.

      Delete
    3. That is definitely their MO. But that's some very useful players they are passing up to get a guy that probably could and should have been taken later.

      Delete
    4. I had him going to the 49ers in the fourth round in the mock I wasn't able to finish. His profile fits what the 49ers want at WR.

      Delete
    5. Like Scooter, I had Stribling late 2nd round.

      Delete
    6. Razor - exactly, I think it should be that way.

    7. Physicality paired with size and speed is what you get with Stribling.

  4. WR De'Zhaun Stribling at pick 33.

  5. I like Stribling, but not at pick 33.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Stribling is a blocking machine too. Didn't think he'd go that high, but I knew he'd be a player of interest.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yeah, exactly. I said a month or so ago I didn't understand why he was so far down the consensus boards. I had him as a late 2nd/ early 3rd.

      Delete
    2. Yep, I was sold after one play where he put his man into the ground. I got the sense he might have had a smile on his face too just like Kittle.

      Delete
  7. Reach at 33, but a good fit. Lets go!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Stribling has experience across three conferences with elite run blocking and speed. Zero fumbles and a 2% drop rate. Pretty fresh and so clean.

    1. Productive since his freshman year. Really never understood how he was slept on.

      Delete
    2. He's also considered one of the top run blockers in this year's WR class.

      Delete
    3. I brought up Stribling's name back in March, but I saw him in the late 2nd to mid 3rd range. But, you guys are right, he was being slept on.

      Delete
  9. If they don't go edge with their next pick I think we might see a J. Bosa signing

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think the most frustrating part of taking Stribling at 33 is that they had offers to move down. Was Stribling really going to go ahead of whatever pick they could have moved to? And if he did... was he really ranked that far ahead of their next guy?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Likely questions that get answered at their next presser.

      Delete
    2. So apparently the Rams really wanted him.

      Delete
    3. If he's serious about his craft, he could be a diet coke version of TO.

      Delete
    4. Blocking by the WR is very important to the Niners.

      Delete
    5. The Rams draft thus far has been a nightmare.💀

      Delete
  11. Dee Winters trade to the Cowboys

    1. I figured he'd get traded. Made too much sense.

      Delete
    2. Wondered when that would happen.

      Delete
    3. Pick 152.

      I wonder if one of these later picks will be used to move up from 58?

      Delete
    4. If the opportunity presents itself, Scooter and it lines up with their guy, absolutely!

      Delete
  12. I agree Stribling was taken too early, but I have also said I don't see much difference in the talent from the lower part of the first round to the fourth round. Stribling is also a better prospect than you are making him out to be. My grade on the pick is a B+. There were some better options at 33, but the 49ers drafted a WR who fits what they need on offense.

    1. Under - We have the 26th pick in the 2nd round. Pick 58.

      Hopefully it is Edge (Jacas). That is the biggest need IMO

      Delete
    2. Thanks Mug must have been having a senior moment.

      Delete
    3. Nah Don't think that! You're an inspiration with all your White Water Rafting and Jungle livin' :)

      Delete
  14. Dieter is saying there is no chance Stribling was going to last to 58. Which tbf, aligns with what Brugler said April 17 - that he was a certain top 64 guy and only question was how high.

    1. He rose like Lazurus just like Lawrence!🐦‍🔥

      Delete
  15. Sounds like Stribling is the anti-Aiyuk, personality wise.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's encouraging. Only knock on him I can find is a few 35 yard games.

      Delete
  16. Per Jeff Deeney.

    Third and De'Zhaun?? De'Zhaun Stribling caught 61% of his third-down targets over his collegiate career while averaging 13.8 yards per reception on third down.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Honestly not shocked to see McNeil-Warren still available.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Tiernan, Dunker, Barham, Height or Onyenim at 58?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I seem to be in the minority here but I am not impressed with the Stribling pick for a number of reasons. #1 I think their need at G or Edge was much bigger than their need at WR. #2 I think this pick was a big reach. It was rumored that they had multiple trade offers for their pick and I believe they could have moved back 10 spots and still landed Stribling. This pick reminds me of the Pearsall pick. I hope I am wrong but I give this pick a C-

    1. I tried to tell you WR first. Would've likely been Concepcion had he not been taken.

      Delete
    2. Nah, it would've been safety Theineman had he still been there. They traded shortly after he came off the board.

      Delete
    3. They've never drafted a safety higher than round 3, lmao.

      Delete
    4. True, but the trade shortly after Thieneman came off the board indicates he was most likely the one they planned to draft.

      Delete
    5. Not to me it doesn't but it'll come out soon enough.

      Delete
    6. I don't think they planned to draft Thieneman. I think he was the last guy to go that they would have stayed at 27 for.

      Delete
  20. Boerkircher I liked a lot but he went way higher. I had him in Round 4.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Another trade.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is this the start of a run on Centers?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Niners 58 152 for Browns 70 107.

    ReplyDelete
  24. If they liked Washington at 58 they'll love him at 70.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ole Miss QBs had a 136.7 passer rating when targeting De'Zhaun Stribling last season.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Jim Harbaugh keeps throwing assets at the OL. How many high picks is that now? Gotta be at least 3, maybe 4?

    1. I'm not as high on Slaughter as you but yea, I'm just saying it hasn't worked out for him up front. Same goes for Andy Reid. He's done the same thing and still hasn't figured it out. I guess not everyone can have a Chris Foerster.🤷

      Delete
  27. Carson Beck to the Cardinals. He has a personality flaw. Not a fan.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Crawford is another good one. Ascending player.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Markel Bell is such an Eagles pick.

    ReplyDelete
  30. As much as I disliked their first pick is equal to how much I love this pick. Now if we can get a G or S with our next pick. I give this pick an A

    1. I'm looking at an OG that can play Center too.

      Delete
    2. I'm not as big a fan of Height. Didn't do much until his age 24 year, playing opposite Bailrey, largely against not great opponents. He's twitchy and fast, but can be hard to win as a pass rusher in the NFL without being able to threaten power. Will have to see how it translates.

      Delete
    3. Tbh, I'm more interested in seeing if he plays SAM in base. If he does I like the pick more.

      Delete
    4. Nice spin move and closing speed. Not concerned about the age as much as his lack of play recognition. Must be something about the man they liked on his visit.

      Delete
  31. Hahaha. WR, and Edge. Will it be OL next. Hope Dunker is still on the board at 90, but that may be asking to much.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Not a bad pick with 70. Another B+.

    ReplyDelete
  33. From Nick Wagoner.

    DE Romello Height said he "had a feeling" it was going to be the #49ers.

    Worth noting: Height said he spent time with LB coach K.J. Wright, not DL coach Kris Kocurek. Would imagine he'll be moved around to different spots.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's interesting and definitely suggests he'll be playing a bit of LB.

      Delete
    2. I got a hunch Kocurek likes Romello's first step.

      Delete
  34. If that's the case Scooter, Height will play the same role Byron Young did for Morris.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'd love to see the 49ers take Keionte Scott at 90 if he lasts that long.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Romello was PFF's love child when it came to qb hunting:
    Overall: 92.5 (elite)
    Pass rush: 92.6 (elite)
    True pass set: 91.2 (elite)
    Pass rush win rate: 21.8% (elite)

    1. Playing as s chess piece I am on board. If he's asked to just rush from opposite Bosa I think he'll be underwhelming.

      Delete
    2. Pass rush win rate right below Bain Jr.

      Delete
    3. He did well against Lomu, so there's that.

      Delete
  37. Romello Height was 2nd among all EDGE rushers in this draft in win percentage at 22.5 percent, slightly behind Rueben Bain Jr.'s 22.9%. Height was 3rd in quick pressure % and 4th in pressure %.

  38. I liked Barber. Worked with Staley.

  39. On Romello Height's tight-end coverage, taken from my browser's AI program, apologies for that:

    "Romello Height possesses rare coverage versatility for an edge rusher, a trait that significantly boosts his NFL Draft profile. Analysts highlight his comfort dropping into zone coverage and his ability to effectively carry tight ends vertically without appearing out of position.

    Elite Grades: In his final season at Texas Tech, Height earned a 92.4 PFF coverage grade, tying for third nationally among all players and ranking as the highest among edge defenders.

    Lateral Agility: His exceptional change-of-direction skills allow him to glide across formations, beat tackles laterally, and disrupt throwing windows.

    Tactical Value: This ability makes him a valuable sub-package weapon for defensive coordinators, allowing them to deploy him in obvious passing situations where he can confuse offensive protections.

    Career Consistency: He demonstrated this skill set across multiple programs, including a 92.5 PFF coverage grade at Georgia Tech, which was the second-best among FBS edge rushers that season."
