Wouldnt be shocked if Brad Craddock wound up with the 49ers as either a late round pick or a UDFA. I mocked him to them awhile back and they have talked to a few guys from Murrrryland.

Would the Donald ban migrants from playing inthe NFL?
I have faith that most see Aussies as another long distance ally. There is always the poeople who never leave their home town, marry their high school sweetheart and believe everything not apple pie and Stars and Stripes is to be feared. In Australia there is the same thing.
This draft could be a portent of more inroads made and willingly encouraged by the NFL community. the doors are open. Our players just have to step up to the plate.
Today the Aussie NGL combine is under way. Maybe some scouts are there too.

To summarise.

Adam Gotsis DE projected 5th round
Tom Hackett Punter projected 7th round
Brad Cradfock Kicker projected 7th / UDFA
Blake Muir OT/OG projected UDFA
Alex Kinal Punter no projection

Only Adam Gotsis has had any link to 49ers but no visit.

Adam Gotsis is now the highest ever drafted Aussie. Injured but still taken in the second round.

I really like the fact that the NFL is slowly becoming international. I hope it spreads even more. Australia and England are huge football fans, and Germany has taken interest also.
