  • I had forgotten we had the extra picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds this year. That's a good thing.?

  • Haskell is coming back.  Another reason why mocks, especially this early, are useless.

    What IS the deadline for declaring for the draft this year?   It used to be like January 15th. 

    ...OK, I looked it up.....it was Monday:   

    Underclassmen have until January 18 to file declaration papers with the league, with a 72-hour period to reconsider after filing.

    So, actually, all players who are to be eligible should by now be determined unless someone wants to rescind their declaration......so that particular mock must have been done before Monday. 

  • Daniel Jerimiah's first mock is out... it's a one-rounder. Dj's pretty good IMO.

    I've boldfaced picks that surprise or mention prospects that have garnered some attention in tia's Who are you watching thread.

    For Jerimiah's pick-by-pick rationale go to his article.

    ** SPOLIER ALERT** DJ has us going LB...

  • SF adding Pitts as a TE is a good move. Reed had 4 TDs and only 26 receptions for the whole year in 10 games. I could live with Collins or Moehrig in areas of need that would likely also be BPA.

    SFO  has George Kittle.   Why would they want to use a first round pick on another TE.   Not discounting Pitts' talent....just the 49ers priorities

    Pitts can easily be split out or you can go double TE and hurt a defense that way too.

    These hybrid TEs are becoming much more valuable in the NFL offenses. Block, isolate on LBs, split out wide, etc. These guys have near WR speed and can body up on coverage like BB forwards. You can never have too many Kittles on a team.

    Watched a handful of Gator games this year his box out ability in the red zone is Antonio Gatesesque...But he can run by you too. 
     

    He will be great Pro unless the injury bug hits.

    Probably one the most can’t miss type prospects this year.

    Is that what we have with  Njoku, Hooper and  Harrison?

    Not IMO. Pitts is on another level just like Kittle. And next year A&M's Wydermyer will be a 1st round TE too with very similar kind of play.

  • To Be Scrupulously Fair.. we would have that if Njoku gave half a shit about actually improving.  Classic case of a dude who's coasting on natural gifts - good enough for a roster spot, but not making anything resembling a leap to stardom. 

    He couldn't come up with any of his many "How did he catch that?" without the skills. frustrating that he won't do the work to be consistent with that talent.

    This year seemed different. I have to believe coaching played a significant role in that with the rest due to health.

    We'll see what 2021, his 5th year brings.

    He should look at the other two guys in the TE room and say to himself:

    "Self, there's no reason I can't be the best TE here."

    I thought that pick might get your attention... 

    First one proviso...I haven't rolled tape on any LBs to this point, so take this reply with an extra grain of salt or two, although I have seen Owusu twice in games.

    That said... Neither...

    I take Nick Bolton, who I have seen once in a game. At 6'0 and 235 Nick is right-sized for a MIKE today and he flies around the field.

    • Owusu is a 6'1, 215# hybrid LB. While that's a piece that is growing in import in the NFL, it's not one I'll invest a first-rounder in anytime soon... especially when I don't have a MIKE.
    • Collins? At 6'4, 260 I see an Edge or 3-4 OLB... Tape may convince me of a SAM or WILL fit, but until it does...

    Collins highlight reel on youtube looks great.

  • They don't call them highlight reels for nothing. Gotta look at game tape... See below.

    Nick's 2019 highlight reel is awesome. But if only tape you ever watched was his 2020 outing against UGA, you'd probably not sign him as a UDFA.

    Fortunately he had other games where he looks more like his old highlights. His

    shows some of this.

    #1...JOK's Coverage Skills over Collins...

    I keep looking at pick #15 if Parson's or JOK is still there.. Every team knows that Bill & the Patriots, may take offers to trade out of pick #15..it's his norm.. it would take us 350 trade value points to get us there.. Meaning a Obj trade/plus? or your only 2nd & a 5th.. I'd say a big.. No!..

    Now if Parson's or JOK falls to Bears at pick #20?. That's 150 value points.. one of our 3rd's & a 6th..is very doable..
