GW21 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well JLC just reported that we have ‘real interest’, so that pretty much rules us out. http://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/114983-49ers-have-real-interest-odell-beckham-per-report/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Dude is still dominant AF and that isn't going to change as long as he is playing. But the injury concerns are valid as well as him calling it quits after next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Slow news season before the draft, so here's a good look at 7 'under the radar' second-year players competing for spots/major roles (some who we largely don't think about, but might actually be pieces of the puzzle): http://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/seven-under-radar-second-year-49ers-players Maiocco talks about Bourne, Joe Williams, Taumoepenu, Magnuson, Mabin, Chanceller James, and Darrell Williams.

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Some intriguing players on that list. Some late round draft picks/undrafted players have the potential to be solid contributors next season. Joe Williams is the guy I will be paying close attention to. Still the most gifted runner on the roster, but does he have the drive and work ethic to be successful? Mabin has some nice physical traits, but he looked pretty raw last year. I forgot about the forum favorite Williams lol. He really looks like a solid pass protector, but the question with him is in the run game. Not sure why Pita didn't even get a chance late in the season at the SAM spot. Would have liked to see if he could do better than Harold. But with Harold making the position switch, he should have the chance to compete for the SAM spot. I already posted the Bourne article last week from Crooker who seems very high on him, comparing him to Stevie Johnson. I would love if he is close to Johnson who was one of my favorites.

I know we didn’t see anything from him, but I’m excited to see what Jimmie Gilbert looks like this year. Love his length, and if he spent his time on the IR bulking up some, he could be a darkhorse to be an edge guy for us going into next year.

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Ah totally forgot about him. This is one of the advantages of having such a sorry roster that we had last year, it gives the late rounders/undrafted draft picks an opportunity display their talents. On a good team a lot of these guys would have just been released. The scouting department did a very nice job of finding some talented players after the draft. IIRC, Chancellor James was getting some solid hype in TC before going down with his injury right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome definitely was, and even started a game after Reid went down early in the season. But I remember hearing some writers talking about James as well. I could be wrong though.

Some people wanted Jerome over Ward, and Colbert wasn't even talked about back then. So much can change in only a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome more in practices, but James not far behind. I think both were in serious play for the 53. I would not be very surprised if James is safety #4. He was very sharp.

He had 11 sacks his senior year probably playing in the 220-225 range. Will be interesting to see what he looks like after a couple years in an NFL training program. Maybe there's something there.

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yet he had only 2.5 sacks. He's going to progress to the mean next season and get around the 6-8 range. And I expect Thomas to be around the same, maybe even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Landry uses a speed rush more times than not but if he's one on one with a tackle, I can live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing strong side he can still rush from outside when we're rushing 5, or rush instead of the leo, or loop and blitz up the middle. I'm thinking if he's good enough he can get 6 - 8 for us to add to what Buckner and Thomas get. Then maybe next year will be a better year for Leo's ... althouogh of course we're going to be picking much lower next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
