Interesting observation: there seems to be a consistent difference in arm length for OL between the senior bowl and the combine, with senior bowl measurements about a half inch longer on average. Haven't checked other positions, but that seems pretty striking. Could partially explain what amounts to really short arm measurements for the OT crop in particular.

yea not sure what's going on, maybe we can get some clarity at the pro days for some of these guys, but if we get 3 different measurements then ffs

They can easily get different measurements depending on how they measure.

But I heard a GM talk about "punch length" a combination of arm length and hand size and how OTs will have to punch at edge rushers sometimes to try to divert them further away from the pocket.

Joe Thuney traded to Bears, less likely they'll take an OL at 10

I'm sure Mahomes is thrilled.

We might have already entered the start of KC's decline. Not saying they are going to be a bad team, but the AFC as a whole is getting progressively tougher and KC's talent base is not growing and their core isn't getting any younger.

looking more and more like Membou won't be available at 11, getting a lot of talk now at 4/5, but good news is that it might make Mason Graham drop.

really, we should not leave the 11th pick without one of Graham, Membou or Banks. i *could* be talked into a couple of other guys (Simmons obviously if he's healthy).

Jayden Higgins in the 2nd is really intriguing if we trade Aiyuk

Yeah, the patellar tendon is WAY more concerning than an ACL would have been. ACLs are pretty straightforward. At this point, it's hard to think of players who didn't come back effectively the same after an ACL repair. Patellar tendons are much iffier. That's what may be ending Drake Jackson's career as we speak, and what ended Weston Richburg's career. My view is that a full recovery is less likely than having fairly significant prolonged effects.

There is word that Simmons might be ready for a pro day before the draft, but I don't see how you take him at 11. And I think there's a fair chance he falls into the second round.

yea, if he doesnt check out medically he'll drop, brutal for the kid because he would be OT1 otherwise.

he sounds pretty comfortable with where he's at though, so we'll see mid april i guess. he's one of the more impressive guys I've see on the mic too.

nobody is talking about this but we are pretty fricking thin at LB, resigning Dre Greenlaw is top priority. outside him we only have Fred Warner who's even resembled a starting NFL player. then its Winters and two 7th round picks in Bethune and Graham.

we actually have so many holes man lol

We are thin EVERYWHERE. It's hard to come up with a position where we even have three good players. WR if Aiyuk is healthy, but that's maybe it. We have nothing behind Kittle, nothing behind our starting OTs, don't even have a starting OC, maybe have one DT and one DE (DE has a bit of depth, but nothing that's all that encouraging), one LB, two CBs, and one S. Hell, we don't even have a kicker and a punter at this point.

i'd say we're fine at safety with Hufanga, Mustapha and Brown,, but yea, we're shallow across the board. this is an extremely important draft for this org.

Yeah, I;m not counting FAs unless and until they're re-signed. Brown was downright bad most of last year, though maybe some of that was coaching/coordinating. Mustapha looked good, but we'll see. And we don't have any safety who can really fly around and cover on the back end.

well, that's kinda what happens when you waste so many **** draft picks on RBs not on the roster anymore, bad trades and kickers.

Lynch should get Shanny out of the war room this time around completely.

Maybe Peters was part of the problem?

He wasn't involved with the draft last year, and SF's 2024 draft class is looking pretty promising right now?

maybe, but the final decision is on Kyle so he's the guy i'd want out of the draft room at this point

One of the biggest head scratchers for me especially given than they have had so much success with unbdrafted rookies at the RB position. Guerendo hopefully is a break in that. Shows some promise if he doesn't become injury prone.

Kinda looking more and more like it won't be an OL for us at 11. Membou is most likely out of reach, Simmons injury, Banks isn't a Shanahan OL and Campbell is most likely a OG/C.

We better hope Graham drops, unless we plan on taking Campbell and putting him at C at #11.
