Lots of variables. But if one is worthy of 11 hell yea. But if Stingley fell cause of his injury concerns then he's the pick. Or if all the good edge rushers are gone and Stingleys gone grab Brisker and enjoy.

im going CB at 11. If Stingley,Garner or McDuffie i would pick them up in a second there at 11.

Another option i would be happy with is Lindarbaum the best C prospect maybe ever

if we do go EDGE which wouldnt be a bad choice i think the only option worth a top 10-15 pick is Karlaftis. (obviously Hutchinson and Thibodeuax are going in top 3 if not top 2)

An interesting prospect would be Kyle Hamilton if he drops to 11. Dude is so elite.
Niners will have to use one of their three day 2 picks (so far) to get one of the top 10 pass rushers. I am hoping the Niners go for speed off the edge to complement their great interior pressure and Bosa from the opposite edge. So, that means Mafe or Bonitto would be my ideal candidates in the second or third round. Besides DeAngelo Malone on day 3, who else fits that bill for day 3? Any sleepers out there we don't know about?

trade for a future 1st and move down. Go get Linderbaum or another lineman. This draft isn't that special at the top IMO. Getting a future 1st would be bananas

I like Drake Jackson more than Bonitto, if we're looking for a twitchy edge with bend/speed. IMO unless a DB drops for some reason. I think it's EDGE in the second, the drop off in production from a EDGE after the 2nd rd is pretty drastic.

but some guys to check out on day 3.

Sam Williams Old Miss
Micheal Clemons Texas A&M
Dominique Robinson Miami (OH)

Honestly I think Lynch has a type and it's usually a dude that's like 260+pounds that can put his hand in the dirt, run defend, and be multiple. BUT yeah it's good to have a collection of edge rushers that can do different things. Get that NASCAR package going

I like Jackson too but unfortunately he'll be long gone before our 2nd round pick. I think he goes early in the 2nd round.

Doesnt he weigh like 235 lbs? His measurement is going to be one to watch.

6'2" 231

That's LB size
We do realize that Bonittos size is why he might be there at 61 right? Your not going to get the perfect prospect after everyone has picked twice. At least it's not hard to see him in an immediate role on third downs. We need some immediate contributors.

Size is only one factor, but in some positions it matters more than others. Bonittos not going to be able to set the edge against NFL tackles, let alone take on OGs. He may be able to run around them all day long, but when it's 3rd and short, can he stone wall a short yardage plunge in his gap? Maybe as a OLB.

But to your other point, this is a deep draft at DE, I think they will be able to find a diamond or two.

Size or not, if you can ball you can ball plain and simple.
Josh Paschal, UK, 6'3" 278. 4.75, 39" vert. Should be available day 2. Very good athlete. Outstanding character (love that). Mostly power rusher on outside. Also led Power-5 in run stop rate last year.

Dude reminds me of Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and he was like 15lbs bigger the him. I've seen comps to Hasson Reddick, but imo regardless of what the roster says he's not 235lbs anymore.

Wouldn't hate the pick, I think there will be guys that can play multiple downs at that spot too.

combine will be important to see strength and weight but i still think he is a 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 OLB who rushes the passer

One guy who im really starting to like is Cameron Thomas.

Super smart and high motor player that doesn't give up on plays. Hes very polished and has multiple pass rushing moves with the versatility to play 3,5 and 7 technique which is something our coaching staff really likes. Great size/speed/strength combo with good length. Also creates a s**t ton of pressures. He had 44 Qb hurries and 66 QB pressures He had the 3rd most pressures of any edge in the country despite facing a lot of double an triple teams

Biggest weaknesses is he has what i would call a B grade athethicisim and lacks the explosiveness to be the superman of the defense/pass rush. But with him and Bosa of the edge i think our base D with AA at DT will be almost impossible to contain
