Seth DeValve?

[gftChris]

If nothing else, there's a lot of faith being shown in this coaching staff - a lot of guys whose bio reads 'great physical skill set but needs to develop' etc.

In for a rough year I think, but after that hopefully we'll see some big improvements.

Also, yet another WR just taken, Rashard Higgins. That's 5 receivers.

The kid is a fucking gamer.

What does it tell you that all our Harvard guys would take a TE out of Princeton.....when there was a Harvard TE touted to be drafted? Ben Braunecker. Who went undrafted.

[LondonBrown]

I saw the video of when they drafted him and during the conversation, they spoke about a coach that had really spoke up for this guy to get a chance. They also mentioned he'd had a great visit in Cleveland a few weeks ago.

That's the nonsense side of these mocks and big boards, far more goes into it than game film.

[calfoxwc]

check out his workout.This te/wr isn't a slender pass catching wimp or something.

Get he and Barnidge on the field at the same time...

not one defensive player will be laughing.

What's a good bench press score out of interest?

For what position? TE?

TEs are all over the map, but upper teens would be decent.

[TexasAg1969]

I have no problem with the pick at all, but I did think it should have been more 6-7 rd. That made it a huge reach IMO.

[calfoxwc]

thing is, so often, if you wait til that sixth round, some other team will be

able to afford to pick him earlier.

Victor Cruz wasn't drafted at all. It would have been a "reach" for him

in the sixth round.

Sometimes you find a gem who is a class act, can play, work ethic, love

for game, etc...

and you take it in a round just before everybody else catches on.

Or, if ya get lucky, he won't be drafted at all, and you sign him as an UDFA.

One of the things we shall have to get used to...

Reading up on Seth... he was hurt a lot, but seeing no details on nature of injuries.

Coaches said they think he's a freak athlete that can give us potential mismatch opportunities. I like that line of thinking. Even if it doesn't work out, and most of the time it doesn't, but I like that we're thinking "mismatch" and trying to figure out ways to score in the red zone.

[Unsympathetic]

Don't get all excited about "mismatch in the red zone" --- if he can't run block and pass block we'll never get IN the red zone.

Remember, last year the run game failed because TE and FB were a complete zero at run blocking.

Does he trap like a Mack truck?

How is his knee bend?

How is his punch?

[LondonBrown]

He can block, it was the first thing Sashi said about him.

[Tour2ma]

Can always "wing" in a 3TE or 6OL set...

[LondonBrown]

Jimmy Graham doesn't do much blocking...

Pete Carroll knows more than me but I'm kind of baffled as to how they've used him so far

[sisky fringo]

Seth Devalve = poor man's Mini-Gronk...as a rookie.

Neither did Ozzie Newsome, but the game has changed since he played.
