Maybe need to move up a little, mid to late second round? I think he's projected to go in like round 3-4. Brugler doesn't even have him in his top 100. PFF has him 157. Neither Tice or DJ have him in their top 50. I think he's just been passed up by quite a few guards. Puni, Haynes, Mahogany. Beebe's testing was good enough that I think people are going to like him. ESPN is the primary place that loves Zinter as far as I can tell. Kiper especially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenK Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Anyone see some of the clips from USC’s pro day? I know for nostalgia we were talking about drafting Brenden Rice, but man he has a rough time running - looks slow. 😅 one example. I feel like if there was a db, he would have gotten jammed easily. Tracked the ball well, is one positive from it at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think WR is out of the question but I'm just not sure we will be going after YAC monsters with Purdy. You want another pure route runner opposite Aiyuk and then hope that guy has YAC ability. I sound like a broken record but if we trade up for a WR in the 2nd round, it will be for someone like McConkey. If we want to go OL first round, then I think we go with someone who has guard/tackle versatility and can be a plug and play from day one. That is Barton or Morgan. Will be interesting to see what we do if JPJ falls to #31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what we do if JPJ falls to #31. I think that this staff values YAC very highly period. They've taken the highest YAC guys at their positions for years as a philosophical choice. The offense is less centrally oriented than it has been in the past, but Shanahan still gets more runaways and YAC opportunities than just about anyone else. Plus I think he just loves formational flexibility in personnel groups. And a direct Deebo replacement can play a bit of running back for you when you go matchup hunting in lighter personnel groups. Corley more than most fits as a Deebo replacement as he was a running back convert. TL:DR it is possible that we could pivot to more traditional wide receivers with Brock, but we tend to hide very little with our top 30 visits. I'd take it at face value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he's loves RAC ability, but beyond that I don't know that he's shown a predilection for anything beyond that. Pettis was a technician, but Deebo, Jennings, Hurd certainly weren't. Danny Gray was speed, speed. speed, but that wasn't Jennings, Hurd or really even Pettis. I think Kyle loves having his X receivers (julio, andre johnson), but beyond that I don't know that he has significant preferences. *edit* Thought Richie James was more of a speed merchant, but I guess not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly values that speed for what it does to a defense (signed Benjamin too), but so far he's only shopped in the dollar store. It's a fair question to wonder how much he wants to actually invest in that singular trait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scares me about that is that Kyle has show he’s not going to put a receiver on the field that can’t block unless he has to. I’m not familiar with Worthy’s blocking chops, but based on his size, I would assume he’s not the greatest at it. If he shows the effort that’d go a long way though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
