49ers have met with Dadi Nicolas an option if Noah Spence is gone. Kid has a quick first step! Nice prospect!

"Matt Maiocco:

A scout tells me he believes Dadi Nicolas (Va. Tech) is best pure pass rusher in draft."

You have to have more than speed to be an elite, NFL pass rusher Matt's source. It's called strength. It comes in handy against a human bulldozer.

The smoke screens these dorks put out are hilarious.

Good speed rusher, but he's limited to being a situational pass rusher for his first year. He'll need another 15 lbs of muscule to handle the edge consistently.

I like him a lot more than Harold though. I'm thinking 3rd rounder at this point.

I'd take him in 3rd depending on FA.. he has a motor, athleticism and length - can't teach that. He can get stronger.

After reading the NFL.com draft profile, this kid looks like a developmental project. He was misused at VA Tech, playing too much DE and not enough OLB. That'll change in the pros, but as a guy who got into football fairly late (senior in high school), he'll need considerable coaching up and will have to add at least 10 lbs of muscle.

We have more than our fair share of developmental guys.

Agree he was misused at VA.
