I actually like Warren, particularly as a pass protector, but I don't think the niners would like him enough to select him here. I don't think they'll like his run blocking enough. The rest of this is solid with some really nice selections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the super easy fit for most people because we are the most notorious for actually using the fullback. Its really more or less a wasted pick though because we aren't going to carry 2 fullbacks and juice isn't going anywhere. They'd have to feel comfortable with him as a 3rd or 4th TE in order for us to take him, imo. Taking him at 155 like Rueter had him would be awful. 216 is more or less fine, though in preference I would take him in the 7th just because I know it's likely he's going to the practice squad at best. I do think that a team like Houston may "reach" on him in the 5th or 6th if Slowik is committed to the Shanny offense the way Kyle runs it (which is no guarantee) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Another tight end who has been hurt by the medical evaluation is Iowa's Sam LaPorta. LaPorta is a sleeper prospect who a lot of teams really loved. In speaking to sources at multiple teams, they said the medical report was not bad enough to get LaPorta dropped off their board. However, it was not clean ,and it would be the reason if LaPorta slides into the middle or back half of the second round during the 2023 NFL Draft.

This makes it sound like he was viewed as a first round pick, but now is sliding into the middle of the second due to medical concerns. The media sees him as 2nd-3rd round prospect. Clearly, the NFL values him more than the media does. Trading up for him might be out of our reach, unless we're willing to package 2 of our 3's and a 5th as well. Seems a little too rich.

Yes, the ones on the left are Barrows. The article was set up weird where they basically did a snake draft thing so it went back and forth, but I think i copied them all over correctly lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinerNation21 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The more I look at the big boards, the less interested I am in trading up. I think if we were to trade up, Sam LaPorta would still be my top choice. I'm interested in Anton Harrison and Matt Bergeron at tackle, but would we be better served with just keeping our 3rds and drafting Steen, Saldiveri, or Daniels? I don't think I love any other prospects enough to trade up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I love any other prospects enough to trade up for. I don't have any real interest in moving up big time, though I will say that the mock I got aggressive in worked out well. But I generally agree with @JIllg that the only thing I'd really be looking at doing is a "bunny hop". Move up like 10 picks in the third to get a guy who may be falling and you really like. But I have no real interesting in moving multiple third round picks to go way up in the third or the bottom of the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm kind of at the point where I think staying put in the 3rd with all three picks and seeing what comes to us and then maybe taking one of the 5ths and moving up into the 4th to get a guy we like who fell out of the 3rd. Like, if we took Brenton Strange, YaYa Diaby, and Tyler Steen in the 3rd, and then moved up into the 4th to take someone like Mapu or Jammie Robinson, I'd consider that one heck of a draft for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I forget, might have been the salary cap, back in 2000, and the early 2000s our cap was a mess, like cap hell. That may have been a reason, we simply couldn't afford the #3 pick, seeing as there was no rookie scale back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
