Well, Here Goes Nothing . . .

. . . or everything. At least the draft blather will be over with soon. Not to mention the signings of George Kittle and Brock Purdy. But I think we will be fine on those fronts.

Or not. Who knows?

Wish I could just walk in there and bang some heads together and say “STOP FUCKING AROUND!!!” but that’s just me.

Anywho, here’s the draft order for the 49ers. I’ll fill this out as we go along:

  1. Round 1, 11
  2. Round 2, 43
  3. Round 3, 75
  4. Round 3, 100 (Comp)
  5. Round 4, 113
  6. Round 4, 138 (Comp)
  7. Round 5, 147 (via Wash)
  8. Round 6, 160 (Swap w/Minn)
  9. Round 7, 227
  10. Round 7, 249 (Comp)
  11. Round 7, 252 (Comp)

Onward and upward. Hopefully.

    Kyle Posey on Niner Nation compared Mykel Willams to Arik Armstead. I’m not sure what he is seeing. Armstead was bull rusher who could not be stopped. Problem was, his first 2 or 3 years, he couldn’t disengage to make the tackle. Fortunately, he destroyed blocking schemes with his power and others made plenty of plays.

    Williams is nothing like that. Willams has plenty of power, but I did not see him bullrush anybody on the videos that I watched. Williams stays balanced and does not get caught up in wrestling matches. He disengages with ease. What was very impressive with Williams is that he can pass rush but was moved inside on passing downs. Georgia had plenty of good DTS, so that is impressive that he could be a 3 technique at 260 ponds, in front of their other options. I didn’t see him bullrush but he does stand his ground. I actually saw him play 3 technique on a goal line stand and stop the play. That is incredibly impressive at 260 pounds.

    I think if he stays at 5 to 9 technique, he will develop into an effective 3 down disrupter. And yes, he will make plays with his ability to disengage.

    He won’t be able to rely on his power in the NFL like Armstead could, but he has a much better array of tools, even though he is still very raw. Plus, they play different positions. The one comparison is when Georgia played him inside and he was effective. Williams won’t be playing 3 technique in the NFL. Well, maybe on 3rd and 20!

      the article said Williams is not a bender and would move him inside for 3rd passing downs. Kocourek needs work on pass rush but ready to be a starter.

        He bends well. He isn’t as consistent with it as I’d like to see, but most college players play too high. He stays balanced as well as any D-lineman I’ve seen. It costs him a little speed but he won’t be overrunning a lot of plays. He plays fast and under control. To compare him to a current player, it would be Micah Parsons. I think he is more like Charles Haley.

    I watched a little more video of Mykel. I saw a couple of bull rushes. It’s hard to believe he is only 2 yrs old. He’s going to be a disrupter. He’ll probably be a bit inconsistent the first year, but he is going to be really good as he develops.

      JL gotta be giddy. 34 3/8″ arm length. Now both DT’s. The downside is often injured ben Bartch the starting LG.

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      If he’s anywhere close to being a Charles Haley then this pick is a slam dunk. The only thing that gives me concern is that Georgia played him with a high ankle strain for a lot of the season before it could heal. I don’t know if doing that could make it more likely to reoccur. Next pick should either be a big man in the middle or a LB. Not sure where OL picks stack up now all I know is we have to shore up this defense otherwise it won’t matter who we put on the OL. I think we can take care of that with the second 3rd pick and the 2 4th rd picks.

        His best game was against Texas in the playoffs. He dominated. That was after a few weeks rest, and the ankle feeling better. Texas had a very good O-line. He picked a great time to have his best game against great competition.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if that RB from Ohio st. is still on the board at 43 that we take him. And that just might be the right thing to do since we are hard on RB’s.

    What did you guys think of the guy picked 2nd, he wants to play on D and O

    • Berger's avatar Berger says:

      He’s a special talent. His hand eye coordination is as good as anyone ever. I’ve seen him make spectacular catches in awkward positions, including while falling down. The hand -eye comment was stolen from a radio show this morning, but it’s true. I would start him on offense and then work him into some defense. My worry for him would be a short career from too much playing time. I think he will help sell tickets.
