Create a custom 49ers jersey ⇨

I saw a stat yesterday on the interwebs so you know its true but it said the 2 teams over the past few seasons who have spent the most draft capital on the OL both led the league last year in QB pressures. The Giants and Jets were those teams.

But year i agree i want 2 in the first 4-5 rds myself. I don't want to reach just for the sake of drafting one though especially in rd 1.

With teams admitting the new college environment has hurt talent in the middle of the draft on down I wonder how that affects trade possibilities? Does it make sense to trade a lot of picks to move up 11 spots for a guy? Will teams value those later picks as much as they used to etc?

A positive is some excellent players could drop. Just hope they don't reach

This. There's always someone looking to move back up into the end of the 1st round for a player. Trade back a few spots and reassess. I'd feel better about that and then moving up from their original 2nd rounder then reaching for someone.

Fautanu moves so well. He's athletically a top end prospect at OT. he's technically sound. He's got 34 1/2" arms which some folks didn't think he would. The whole reason some people view him as an OG is because he's a hair under 6-4.

I think he can play every position in the NFL. Some folks might think his highest ceiling is inside.

I don't think many people view Morgan as a OT. I don't think him and Morgan or close as far as athletic ability goes.

Imo, Guyton is also a no brainer 1st round pick. He's the most boom or bust and the least ready to start, but it wouldn't be the first time a team gambled on such high end traits on a raw OT in the 1st rounder.

Tried to get this point across earlier,...but there being so much offensive talent like OL available in a year like this doesn't necessarily mean that some will fall to #31.

We weren't automatically assured of one. If we take an OL in the next pick you can be damned sure we like him. Alot of defensive talent still up there so no reaching here.

I wanted us to select JPJ so badly. What a missed opportunity.

It is in this thread right now that I announce my draft crush. Kingsley Suamataia is my guy.

I see no holes in what I have seen from his highlights/tape. He is fluid as they come. He has played both LT and RT. I think he plugs in a RT and is the heir apparent to LT when it is time. His measurables are very good to great. Just short of 6'5. Good weight 325+. Big hands. Great athleticism. He was very very smooth in his drills today and he did them all with effort. His balance looks tremendous. Making Bruce Feldman's freak list at #3 is well deserved. Love this quote from his coach he gave Feldman "Kingsley Suamataia is the most athletic and violent OL I've ever coached."

There are a few intangibles I like about this kid that just adds to the crush. He is ambidextrous! I played the drums for 14 years. If I could have added any one talent from a genie who granted me a wish to improve my chops, it would be to be ambidextrous. It allows you to think differently. No weak side. Think that might come in handy for a OT? Esp one that we may want to start at RT and move to LT? I sure as sh*t do. The bloodlines don't bother me one bit either. Being the cousin of Penei Sewell and having similar (actually slightly better) measurables to Penei is not a bad thing. He's got that island blood in him. He seems like a smart really good kid. Maybe that's the BYU? He plays hard. He looks like he really enjoys the game.

He's got Gold Helmet written all over him. After we draft him it will come out he was a gold helmet guy. Okay off my soap box but I will likely be insufferable about this kid for the next 2 months. Sorry not sorry.

my worst nightmare just happened.
