The Shanahan/Lynch regime has drafted at least 2 of their "Top-30 visit" players in each draft since 2017. Since 2017 we've drafted a total of 20 players from our top 30 visits, or about 3.3 players per draft. If I had to pick 2 guys from our top 30 this year who I think we've shown the most interest/who I think we really like:

CB. Kei'Trel Clark - Louisville
S/LB. Marte Mapu - Sacramento St.

Those are certainly two they've shown a lot of interest in!

And great info. Thanks!


just my opinion but this is my nightmare of a draft.
Jesse Matthews !!! lets go !!!!
Elijah Higgins would be a nice pickup, think Shanny been looking for a big WR for a long time.

I saw that he could be a candidate to convert to TE in the NFL.

Yeah possible, but in this deep TE draft I would rather take someone who already plays the position rather than trying to convert a WR

Demontario Anderson might be a Byron Young (TENN) lite if your looking for a designated pass rusher with speed and athleticism. For some teams a sub 7 second 3 cone is the holy grail for a great DE. Easier being short and lite though. Jose Ramirez ran sub 7 this year as well.

Demontario Anderson pro day:
  • Height: 6'2.5"
  • Weight: 240 pounds
  • Bench: 24 reps
  • 40 yd dash: 4.62
  • Shuttle: 4.2 (1st among DEs at NFL Combine)
  • Vertical Jump: 36.5 (Tied for 5th among DEs at NFL Combine)
  • Broad Jump: 9'2"
  • 3 Cones: 6.99 (2nd among DEs at NFL Combine)

Freeland isn't worth a 3rd imo. I just don't see it with him. I don't hate brown, don't want him in the 3rd. The rest of the picks are meh (not horrible). I don't see how they don't draft a TE and imo DTR is kinda a waste of a pick that high (I have him in my mock but as a late 6th).

who is this dude? He's kinda a tool with the headset lol

--- Final Pre Draft Player Connections Update ---

POS - Volume Count | TDN Top 180 Count | 30 Visits Count
ER - 25 | 11 | 4
WR - 38 | 11 | 3
S - 33 | 10 | 2
T - 15 | 8 | 2
CB - 26 | 7 | 3
TE - 19 | 6 | 5
RB - 20 | 5 | 2
LB - 19 | 3 | 1
QB - 11 | 3 | 1
DT - 19 | 2 | 2
IOL - 12 | 2 | 1
PK - 5 | 0 | 0
P - 1 | 0 | 0

It's safe to say, ER, WR, S, T, CB & TE will be top targets with our first 6 picks.

WR, TE, RB and CB seem deeper in this class, so my guess is ER, T and S will probably be the earlier targets at 99, 101 and 102.

I have no clue who the guy is it was just suggested on YouTube and watched with horror. The only pick is be excited about was YaYa but he's a major project who could easily end up being a waste.

According to Klatt, there isn't a successful NFL QB that has scored below 70 on it. Stroud got a freaking 18.

Stroud will either be an extreme outlier or someone will be looking for a new QB in three years.

Right except Stroud himself just basically confirmed that he had a low score on it. Otherwise he would have phrased things quite differently.
How big of a sample size is there even to establish any correlation between test score and NFL success
