My favorite #WVU C Zach Frazier play, blocking the nose guard against TCU then also takes on a delayed blitzing LB, blocking both guys at once so his QB can escape the pocket.

Feels like this play sums up how damn good he is. https://t.co/kn22YcASzw pic.twitter.com/6Rukf0c9LP

I love that he has a wrestling background, he didn't just do it, he was exceptional at it. A lot of stuff that makes you a really good wrestler translates well to the football field. Those guys usually play with really good balance and leverage, have great spatial awareness and strength too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Frazier is a late Round 1 by the time all is said and done and I'd go BPA between him and the best OT or CB available on the board.

Lol that clip pairs well with this OZ snap I saw earlier where he casually thought he'd drive the backside 1T andddd pickup the 2nd level LB pic.twitter.com/LzWrTwWTt5

Zach Frazier does his job. Here, on an outside zone, he can't make the reach block as the 3t does a good job sliding with the guard. Frazier just buries him into the ground. pic.twitter.com/qLTp344aoD

This is just damn impressive. Zach Frazier has some ups and downs when it comes to stunts but not here.

Frazier is mid snatch on the blitzing LB and sees the looping DE coming around and manages to knock him off his path. I had to slow it down to make sure I was seeing it right. pic.twitter.com/HKl9IFdd6O
Perfect fit for this offense, this roster, the locker room...etc.

I read powers is rated higher and Frazier had a bad leg injury last game he played - NO THANKS.

Depends on who you ask, I'd personally favor Frazier considering the offense the 49ers run and his overall playing experience.
Also his leg injury was a broken bone on this play.

Yes, dude had a broken shinbone and still got up and hobbled off the field fast enough that it wouldn't cost his team a ten second run off for an injured player.
He's already up and running and is expected to be a full participant in the Combine.
Spent some time today at OL Masterminds with the great @BigDuke50 (story coming later).

Zach Frazier was RUNNING on the treadmill while I was there. The same Zach Frazier who broke his leg on November 25! Crazy recovery. He is the top center in the draft for several teams.

Ah then he is a no brainer for us then at the end of the first if he's still there.

Fu%$#@@#$*k!

Was there for the taking at the end of Rd. 1. Would Shanahan ever draft a C in the 1st Rd.? Seems to prefer veteran Centers but guys like Brendel are barely average (he's probably worse). Could've drafted Frazier as a quality C talent for the future and at the very least compete with Brendel (we know now how that would've turned out).

Because they don't take oline early, they take them later in the draft.

Because Foerster said we should draft players that score TD and he can find gems later to develop. He thinks he's like Bobby Turner of RB. Damn many want us to reach a little for Frazier, Beebe. Well, we got f**king Brendel.
