    1. Kocurek loves DL that play with a foundation of power and quick first step. It's why I say Parker, Young and Jacas will be guys I'm sure Kocurek will like.

      Will be interesting to see if Morris gets his way though. He prefers his edges to have more speed.

  2. Keyron Crawford was top 10 in the SEC in both pressures (43) and pass rush win rate (18.3%) this past season.

  3. Jordyn Tyson: earned a target on 32% of all routes, #2 in class, 3.02 yards/route vs man coverage and earned a target on 44% of his routes vs man coverage, #1 in class. 47% of ASU's receiving yards and 65% of ASU's receiving TDs. One of the best WRs in the class at understanding leverage & beating man coverage.

  4. Zion Young's % number is impressive. Do you see the 49ers picking him if he falls on their lap at 27?

    1. Not with the character concerns. I don't expect them to draft any players with those types of red flags.

  5. Teams starting to work phones for trades up/down, per JFowlerESPN. There’s growing sentiment that the 49ers would like to trade back and accrue a few more middle round picks. It’s going to get interesting on Thursday 🔥

    1. Much like happened in 2024, I suspect the 49ers will have a hard time finding someone to trade back with.

      Delete
    2. I think their best chance is Ariz but the Cardinals might trade for a pick before 27. It all depends on how badly they want Simpson and how much draft capital they are willing to give up. To move from 34 to 27 I have read they would have to give up a 3rd and 4th round pick

      Delete
    3. Also depends on who else they think might try and take or move up for Simpson ahead of them at 34.

      Delete
    4. I'll be surprised if the 49ers are able to trade down during the first round. I feel this isn't a good year for teams interested in trading down.

  6. Trader John might be busy this coming week.

  7. RB Jonah Coleman: 1st down or TD on 35% of runs #1 in class.

  8. 5 days left until draftmas

  9. Kayden McDonald: 91.2 run defense grade in 2025. Highest in CFB 💪

    ReplyDelete
  10. McDonald has served as an ambassador for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, demonstrating the character and maturity that NFL organizations covet in their locker rooms.
    And was a Academic Award winner.
    In other words, the antithesis of Zion Young.

  11. Dexter Lawrence headed to the Bengals for pick 10.

    1. That's a good move by them.

    2. Exorbitant price tag but highlights the lack of blue-chip talent in this draft class.

      Delete
    3. Yep, exactly. Pretty much the best use of the pick they could do.

  13. Late round steal Caden Barnett OG/C from Wyoming. He is a road grader. Likely available in round 6 or 7

  14. 4 days until draftmas

  15. Georgia WR Zachariah Branch was arrested in Athens early this morning on misdemeanor charges of obstructing public sidewalks or streets and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

    Branch, a projected Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, was released at 3:44 a.m. on a $39 bond.

  16. Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor visited the 49ers on a Top 30 visit, per
    RapSheet.

    Replies
    1. Rap first reported that a few days ago - happened the same day Lomu visited.

      If we go based off top 30 visits, WR and OT would appear to be the target at 27.

      Delete
    2. Not necessarily Razor. There's also the possibility the 49ers already met with a prospect playing at another position before the top 30 visits started, and they are planning to take him at pick 27.

      Delete
    3. This is why I said "if we go off top 30 visits".

      Delete
    4. My mistake Scooter. Not only I did misread your post, I also listed Razor instead of you.

  17. Jack Jones our new CB is falling into great disfavor amongst Niner fans.

    1. If that's regarding his comments about CB being harder than QB, and using Purdy as an example, then 49ers fans need some hobbies.

      Delete
    2. UC,
      Definitely not a way to endear himself to 49ers fans. But, in fairness, he was echoing comments Cam Newton said about Purdy. Still, a poor decision now that he's a 49er.

      Delete
    3. I think they were offended by bringing up old issues, not necessarily by the content itself.

      Delete
    4. Poor choice of words from a journeyman CB looking to win a spot on the roster.

      Delete
  18. Biggest wildcards of the 1st round (won't be surprised if they go top-12, also won't be surprised if still available in the mid-20s):

    CB Jermod McCoy
    OT Kadyn Proctor
    DE Keldric Faulk

Taken By Force

 Many reasons why the 49ers are on the low end of forcing turnovers, but what is the number one reason in your opinion?
