I've only watched 3, tho.

Who else have you watched

I won't be surprised at all if the niners draft a edge pass rusher like Jaelan Phillips with there top 15 pick

I know measurable are not the critical factor, but The Draff Network has all four of these guys back to back in their current Edge rating. Thoughts on your rankings of this group?

Jaelan Phillips
EDGE Miami RS Junior 6'5" 258 lbs Atlantic Coast - Coastal 51

Jayson Oweh
EDGE Penn State RS Sophomore 6'5" 257 lbs Big Ten - East 60

Patrick Jones II
EDGE Pittsburgh RS Senior 6'5" 260 lbs Atlantic Coast - Coastal 62

Carlos Basham Jr.
EDGE Wake Forest RS Senior RS Senior 6'5" 275

I'd put it:
Jaelan Phillips
Patrick Jones
Carlos Basham
Jason Oweh

Tho, for the niners, I'd take Oweh before I take Basham. For all that Oweh is touted to be as an athlete, he does at times appear a bit stiff in the hips and more "linear" as an athlete. Also, while he has completely taken over some games from a pressures stand point, having zero sacks on the year is still a bit alarming if not concerning.

Jaelan Phillips, Carlos Basham and just now watching Kwity Paye. Not feeling Basham. Philips is very nice.

Just watched a few games. I really like him! Thick, powerful dude that can move and plays with a ton of violence. Jars tackles when he puts hands on them. Ready to go from day 1 in the NFL as a run defender. He's got room to grow as a pass rusher. His go-to move and counters need refinement, but you can see him chaining together moves working through his pass-rush plan. I'm interested to see what type of length he has at the combine. It doesn't seem to be an issue on tape, but his arms look kind of short. EDGE1

I think he's the 49ers' type of player.

God damn! This is f**king nice. Violent chop!! That's a 270+ lbs dude cornering like that! Not pretty but very functional! I need to watch this game.


Is Kwity really 6'4"? He looks shorter(good thing). I've seen people comp him to Brandon Graham. I see it. 👀 This dude could do everything AA does from day 1 and more as a pass rusher as base edge.

I agree his arms look short, but I believe he will be what Wu went to the webzone grave thinking Rashan Gary would be.

I would gladly take another Edge Rusher in the first round.

Yup! He's my EDGE 1 as well.

Kwity Paye with the stab/slap

The stab (finesse) looks similar in execution to the long arm (power), causing blockers to lean into it & be off-balance. @KwityPaye_19 executes the stab, then slaps the outside arm down to clear him. A great move for edge rushers! #PassRush #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/LOmViuPCHt

I don't say this lightly... Kwity Paye has been the most unblockable player in college football over last 3 weeks

He tore through these Indiana OTs pic.twitter.com/J34CtBKUuT

yes sir, he's my pick if there at 12 (and no QB is there). End of the day I wouldn't be shocked if he goes top 10 though.

Exactly what I was thinking. He may not be a guy that puts up huge sack numbers but he'll be in the QBs face frequently.

It's a shame Wu is gone because Kwity is actually really good. He can anchor AND get after the QB.
