AB's 2018 NFL Draft Rankings(Big Board & Positional) UPDATED 4/19/18

IMO the best 4 elite non-QB picks in the draft are Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, and Fitzpatrick. If none of those guys drop to us, I really hope we can trade down. The drop-off between pick 9/10 to 22 isn't that bad. We should be rooting for the free agent QBs go to teams above us making it more attractive for teams to trade up to our spot.

I personally have the following guys as Pro Bowl quality guys.

Barkley, Fitzpatrick, D.James, Nelson, Rosen, Allen, Smith, Edmunds, Key, Landry, and Chubb,

One is bound to be there at 9/10, now Smith makes no sense if we love Malcom Smith, and we don't need a QB, and S isn't a big need. Nelson would be great, Barkley I see going top 5, and we don't need that franchise back IMO. If we could get 1 of Minkah, Nelson, Edmunds, Key, Landry, or chubb as 9/10 I'd be happy with that. If not, I'd love to trade down, get an extra 2nd, and then trade into the end of rd 1, their is so much talent in this years class.

AB that's high praise for Fitzpatrick and Edmunds.. Who I pretty much have seen nothing of but SEEM to be slotted as risky players affording to some highly respected on the webzone.

As a 49er fan, can you explain fit and do you see both as day 1 ,3 down players in this scheme? Thanks for all the work AB.. We love you man, 49er webzone legend for real. You should host a draft party in Vegas . Hope we can help you make it somehow, webzone mafia is here for you ...

How good is Tyneil Cooper Dixie State SR? I am always interested in the last ranked guys that I have never heard of. I also have never heard of Dixie State.

Anyone know about these no name guys?

How much have you looked into Kallen Ballage, RB for Arizona St, #13 on your list. The guy seems like a freakish athlete. AZ st made him split time but the guy has like 4.4 speed and is 6'3, 230? He caught 44 balls his junior year and average a TD every 9 touches???

Something like that. When I watch him he looks like he could be a kareem Hunt or Alvin Kamara type threat. If a team doesn't stop him at the line of scrimmage and just takes off.

Any thoughts? I've only just started looking into him but I hear he had a good senior bowl.

Hey AB,

Don't know if you saw this. Any thoughts?

Minkah is a guy who I feel is a perfect fit at either CB or S. Shut down guy, I see him being outside, and not as a slot CB

Edmunds is intriguing, he fits a few different spots, SAM LB, and LEO is possible. Obviously with the way our defense is run we don't use a SAM LB and LEO on every play, but Edmunds to me a 3 down player.

Off topic, my plan is to make it to SC for a 49ers game, finances are tight at the moment, and I have other things that I need to get done first, my house needs new windows, back porch needs replacing, I have personal issues to sort through, i need to fix my teeth, due to the meds i take, they deteriorated them, I need to get what are called dentures, and as a 33 yr old male, I'm not exactly looking forward to that, spending the rest of my life without real teeth, but the hope is for permanent dentures that click in, and one day dental implants.

I'll try and stay off topic as far was what is going on in this country, not a Trump fan, things look bleak at times. I am on SSI Disability, not happy about it, but it is what it is, been disabled, or had this disability(depression, bi-polar, anxiety and ocd) since I was 16, so I get irritated with stuff he says. Anyway, times are tough, worried about losing my SSI, as he wants to cut into it, as does the gop, and worried about losing my Medicaid.

Anyway, I hope in the next few years to do 2 things, 1. Make it to a 49ers home game, and 2. Japan for WrestleKingdom Wrestling event at the Tokyo Dome.

He's someone who contacted me through my twitter account, he's a good kid, good player, Dixie State is like D2 or D3, it's definitely small school, but the kid can play, they have dubbed him Coop Island, as he is a shut down CB in his time at Dixie State.

YouTube Tyneil Cooper Dixie State, there isn't a lot on him, but there is some. Also Hudi(I think that's the site) has cutups of players put up by the players or their school.

Ballage is a kid I like a lot, very very fast, he and guy like Fordham's Chase Edmonds could be that Kamara/Hunt kind of guy. Very talented, and dynamic.

if we take a back, it will likely be day 3 IMO, and there are a lot of good backs that will be there come day 3.

Just an FYI, I've started adding scouting reports to players pages, have players from QB, RB, WR, TE, DE, and DT done. Next up is OLB, ILB, CB, S, and then OL.

Thanks for your input on the players.

Damn man... Lot I can say here, but I will say you got talent and everyone loves you around here. Take things one day at a time and focus on the positives and do what makes you happy. If you were in Cali I'd hook you up with a dentist in Mexico but thank god for it being in 2o18 and sounds like one way or another insurance will hopefully take care of it. With today's modern technology and all, you'll be in great shape eventually.

As far as attending a 49ers game I'm gonna go to a game next year 1000% with my brother and if you're down I will literally get some people together if not by my damn self and you can be my guest to the game. One way or another well take care of you to attend a game. That's a promise my friend.

Praying for you my man and hope you can catch a break and someone sends you some sort of job offer in what you love to do. Let us know if we can do anything to help your website and ish.

Stay strong my dude, the 49ers are back baby and we're all in this together

Thanks man, I hope so on the insurance, I wish we had universal health care like Canada has, would help so much, my mom suffers as does my sister due to being at the mercy of the insurance companies and drug companies. I'll likely get the regular dentures for now, and then worry down the road. Have other things I have to work on, my weight, not bad right now, in the 218 range, not fat or skinny, kinda in between, but want to get healthier, I eat healthy, just need to start working out.

Personally, I hope this presidency is over soon, she may have not been perfect, but she wouldn't have done what this guy has done.

I'd love to come down, my issue is I'm so damn shy, don't have real friends outside of online, no girlfriend, or anything like that. Sometimes I feel like a hot mess, then other times i feel good, I guess it has to do with the bi-polar, I have ups and downs. Another thing i wish people would take seriously, I've had people say to me on twitter to just get a job and get health care through them, problem is I worked last at Target from 2008-2009 for 8 months, was full time pretty much the entire 8 months, was ready to get insurance, and then was cut down to part time, also wasn't on any meds as they cost in the thousands, and I made a whopping 8.50 an hour.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. If you have any questions or want to talk feel free to PM me.

Will do my dude! I'll shoot you a PM soon to follow up

Surprised at some of your rankings-can only hope key teams lean this way so that we can get some of the players.

Crazy that this kid is on the brink of the NFL. A good friend of mine was the DB coach at Grossmont College (JC) when Cooper was there. He asked me to be his game day booth assistant, and I jumped at the chance. Cooper was a starting corner that season, so fun to watch. Very aggressive, strong, solid bump technique, and great spatial awareness.

That site you're talking about is "Hudl," AB. Good stuff on there, excellent for scouting.

Edit - here's the Hudl link for Cooper: http://www.hudl.com/profile/5410392/Tyneil-Cooper

No Justin Reid ?...oversight or don't care for him ?

Haven't seen him yet, nothing online as of earlier in the week.
