Where will this guy be drafted? There was talk of him moving into the first round before his injury, now he is barley even mentioned. I know he is a big risk, but he also has some upside. So please give me some input into where he will be drafted, and if you think the 49ers will take a look at him.

You would take a player with a 4th or 5th that wont play at all his rookie year? I like him, but I would wait until the 6th at earliest.

Exatly how many 4th or 5th rounder contribute greatly to the teams that drafted them? Maybe some special teams play, but other than that they are normally bench players.

Round 1& 2 are for snatching starters. If you get a 1st year starter out of rounds 3-7 you got luuuuuucky.

He will still be drafted between the 4th and 6th. These 7th round projections are silly.

Jack Ikegwuonu and Brandon Tate's blown out knees didn't stop either of them from being selected early.

Realistically, how many th rounders actually contribute much their first year anyway, or even make the team, for that matter. Yeah, he'd be worth taking a chance on, at least based on his previous play.

The "th" round?

Can I help it if I have a speech impediment?
