Your Combine Watchlist

Clive Walford-
I want to see how good of a route runner he is. I'm probably going to be watching his cone drill as well. I know it sounds weird but I think agility in a tight end is an underrated asset.
I also want to see how he does on the bench press. He's my top TE prospect so far

No love for Maxx Williams?

Ehhhhh
I'm not impressed with him. I think Walford runs better routes and knows how to get open. Williams just seems like a converted lineman.
I also probably should have clarified, I meant top prospect for us. I think big boy McDonald can do everything and just a bit more than Williams. I think Walford is the closest we get to replacing VD from this draft.

But who knows, I'd love to get proven wrong in the combine

I also forgot to tell you,
I like the work you've been doing in pushing Grayson on this forum. I never really thought of him as a legit QB, and after seeing him in his last bowl game I thought he was going to fall off the face of the Earth.
But he hasn't, I think he might end up being the best QB out of this draft

from rotoworld earlier:

Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson will sit out Combine activities due to a tweaked hamstring.

Some, including NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah, rank Grayson as the No. 3 quarterback in this class. The Ram was asked to work through progressions at CSU, which puts him ahead of the game in that area compared to other passers. Still, we'd be shocked if Grayson is selected before the third day. Feb 18

I'll be closely watching... well everyone.. but the WRs have me the most excited.

Well son of a b***h, I guess I'll be awaiting the results of his Pro Day then.

I don't see Grayson as anything sensational but he has very few weaknesses compared to some of the other QB's. He can move well enough to get away from pressure, and while he doesn't have a cannon, he's got really nice touch on his deep throws, somewhat similar to the midget up in Seattle. Beyond that he seems to have pretty good awareness and very good leadership skills. If he won't be a starter in the NFL, then I could see him being a very good quality backup quarterback.

I will be watching the WR's for sure

Which players are you going to be following closely throughout the Combine



Here are mine in no particular order.


Damarious Randall-SS/DB-ASU-Interesting prospect, very similar to Ward in terms of being a smaller, physical safety, hard nosed player that is a very good tackler, can also contribute on special teams.


Garrett Grayson-QB-Colorado State-My favorite QB prospect in this draft, more and more he's being looked at as the 3rd best QB prospect. Confident guy who comes from a pro-style offense, has good mobility but not a "running QB" per se, buys time in the pocket will looking for targets downfield. Not a super strong arm but throws a nice deep ball. Very poised in the pocket and seldom seems to be affected by pressure.

Phillip Dorsett-WR-Miami-Yep, he's the sort of speed merchant that the 49ers need badly, I'm sure all eyes will be on him during the 40 especially. Explosive talent that can really stretch a defense.

Tyler Lockett-WR-Kansas State-Similar to Dorsett in terms of being a quality deep threat. Has drawn comparisons to T.Y. Hilton, a guy who has kind of gone under the radar lately as other players have drawn more hype.

Devin Smith-WR-Ohio State-A guy that like Dorsett will have all eyes on him. Perhaps the best vertical threat in this draft. My only concern is that I don't see him as a 1st round pick due to certain limitations but his explosiveness is not in doubt whatsoever. I can see him being an impressive vertical threat at the next level.

Kevin White-WR-West Virginia. My favorite WR for the 49ers to draft in the 1st round. Interested especially to see how he'll do in the 3 cone drill as well as seeing his jumping ability and the field drills.

Duke Johnson-RB-Miami. My favorite RB prospect for the 49ers. Pure explosiveness, physical for his build, a smart, decisive runner, also a threat to make plays receiving out of the backfield. 49ers could be replacing one talented Miami RB with another.

Quinten Rollins-CB-Miami of Ohio. VERY intriguing prospect, former basketball player, only one season playing DB but has outstanding potential. Raw but has all the tools to be a dominant CB at the NFL level, whether he gets there or not is another question entirely. Has a basketball player's instincts when attacking the football, had 7 INT's this past season, definitely fits the ballhawking defensive back model. Could become a safety or CB at the NFL level.

David Johnson-RB-Northern Iowa. As I mentioned in the thread about him, I love this guy's ability to create an impact as a runner and a receiver. Freakish hands and terrific route running for a RB, good blocker, very well built, a guy that can threaten a defense in a variety of ways, if nothing else a very good third down back.

Ibraheim Campbell-SS-Northwestern. Well built SS type, intelligent and respected leader on the Northwestern defense, had a pretty good Senior Bowl.


Others-


Danny Shelton-NT-Washington

Gabe Wright-DT-Auburn

Dorial Green Beckham-WR-Oklahoma

Wes Saxton-TE-South Alabama

Breshad Perriman-WR-Central Florida

Mike Davis-RB-South Carolina

Antwan Goodley-WR-Baylor

Great post. I don't get to see much college football, so my interest picks up sometime in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl (unless SF is in it)

I'm interested to read reports on how DGB interviews. Also interested in Gurley's health.

Do you have D.Parker far behind White?

I think any prospective backup QB will be drafted earlier than they should given the lack of depth at the position this year. Might be best to focus on signing a FA (like J.Locker) instead. Bryan Bennett could be an interesting UDFA.

Quinten Rollins CB
- Athletic individual who played basketball as well for Miami Ohio. He has potential to be a Baalke guy. Interested in how he looks in drills as well as his 40 time.

Ty Montgomery WR
- Built and measurable like Baalke usually savors over (pause). The guy has all of the physical traits but route running and hands are topics of discussion. Gauntlet will be telling.

Dorial Green-Beckham WR
- Obviously one of the most anticipated players in Indy. Haven't seen much as he has been off the field for over a year.

if gurley becomes a star and I can see him in an all state commercial with hans and fransz, with them calling him Gurley man

DaVante Parker - Out of the top three receivers, Parker is the only one I see that could potentially fall to us.

Brandon Bridge!

Huge 6-5 240 QB from S. Alabama with probably a better arm than Kap and almost as mobile. He shows flashes.
