Dee Winters-ILB-TCU-6th Round 2023 Draft

While I generally don't put a lot of stock in Cohn, not a fan of rookies coming in out of shape. Graham sounded like the exact opposite

2. Linebacker Dee Winters.

Looked a little overweight and out of shape, which is nothing to be concerned about -- he has a few more months to get in peak physical condition. But I was expecting to see the next Dre Greenlaw, because that's who the 49ers compared Winters to, and Greenlaw was much more put together when he was a rookie.

It blows my mind that mid and late round rookies can show up out of shape/overweight. Huge opportunity in front of you to make 100's of thousands and possibly millions of dollars and you can't have that part that's pretty easy to control put together? For 1st rd pick rooks and even players on 2nd contracts showing up out of shape, I can relate to a little more. Bunch of guaranteed money or money made already.

Exactly

31 other teams will regret not drafting him. I can't believe he was available when we got him. He had 7.5 sacks and 14 TFLs on a team that went to the National Championship game, that is pretty damn impressive. I feel like all of our drafted rookies will stand out in the pre-season but I think he's gonna have us all excited.

Yeah it's disappointing for sure but I wouldn't worry too much about it. This was just rookie minicamp and Winters is a damn stud, he'll get in shape in no time I think/hope

This +2. Liked his production at TCU and looking forward to seeing him as hopefully another playmaking LB for this team.

Fat boy is gonna be red shirted if he's not careful.

Hopefully we'll not talk about his conditioning issue anymore when he comes to TC in tip top shape. Sometimes some players begin attacking their conditioning at a later date due to minor injuries, soft tissue pain due to the physical rigors of the past season, personal reasons, and they also want to preserve the body and their energy for the upcoming one. Like I said there's nothing wrong with that if they have their own physical conditioning schedule to follow and they come back ready for the more important offseason programs.

Same. He has two months. If he reported to training camp out of shape or couldn't finish a pro day or something, then that would be a huge red flag.

Did you see the twitter pic posted by ny85 on 5/3? That was a game day pick and the dude has a belly.

There is a 1000% chance of that happening.

can't wait for this to happen... I'm getting sick of Greenlaw's stupidity and low football IQ always getting in the way at the most important time of the game too.
