MadDog49er Big 150 Board | Page 6

MadDog49er · 2018-03-09T08:27:24-08:00

The combine has come and gone, and now we are in full swing with campus Pro Day workouts. It is an exciting time for young men as they try to impress scouts, coaches and GMs. This is my first installment of my projected draft board. It will increase to 256 by the end of this month when I drop a full draft. This board is NOT a mock draft since there will be a million trades that change teams draft positioning and player needs. It is a projection of where I think the player will be drafted, a ballpark estimate. Ex: I have Josh Allen going at #1 and Sam Darnold going at #4. I project a trade up by some team to pick Darnold. Of course, the closer to the number one pick, the more it looks like a mock draft. Will Roquan Smith go to the Niners at 9? I am not sure, but I think he is going somewhere in that area. This is also NOT a best player board. I will post my best board in the next few weeks. As always, I will do some magic tricks with my Excel spreadsheets numbers, players at the wrong school, positional errors, and spelling errors. If you see Jash Rosens, LB from Arkansas, I have had worse moments. Let me know where I goofed. As always, I will provide a rationale of why I have some player projected way earlier than expected and why some seem way lower than expected. I am sure Kolton Miller and Shaq Griffin will raise eyebrows.

I think so. Lynch would have a blast with him. Great leader, outstanding QB of the secondary. He is going to be an exceptional pro.

Im sure he will be. However, with huge needs at Edge, LB, and OG dont you think it would be a mistake to select Fitzpatrick when the Niners are solid at S with Tarrt, Ward, and Colbert especially if Nelson and/or Smith are still available?

Agreed. Roquan Smith can be that leader while filling a need

Not drafting James or Fitzpatrick now. Edmunds or Nelson if there. Trade down if not they are not. Of course I'm sure Shanahan and Lynch will surprise us all with their selection. It's the draft so it will be unpredictable.

Glad to keep Jimmie as great insurance and to play him in special packages/rotation.

I think the Niners end up drafting Fitzpatrick. Got a feeling he will be on the board at 9. He is really, really good. Clearly above the other guys.

Didn't you just say Smith was the pick?

I feel like benching Colbert is a really bad idea, given the level of playmaking he displayed

Agree with this.

Kid was a big surprise.

Rethinking the top of the board and believe that Fitzpatrick could slide to 9.

And you would take Fitz over a guy like Davenport or Landry?

What additional picks would get from moving 9 to 12 or 15?

Don't question the Dog, he does so much film study his opinion is bound to change. He always settles near the draft.

Mr Dog do you think Braden Smith could/would start at OG, but at some point kick out to OT and flourish? He seems to have the athleticism and meadurables that KS likes in his OTs (and OGs)

MadDog, do you think Isaiah Wynn is a good fit for Shanny's system? Could you envision the 49ers drafting him if Lynch trades Back a few spots?

Also, Hoovtrain asked about Braden Smith, I'd like to ask a similar question about Quenton Nelso. Do you think that Nelson can play right tackle in the NFL? Perhaps fill in at that position temporarily for a year or so or maybe in an emergency? I think Larry Allen played tackle for a time with the Cowgirls and if Nelson fell to nine his ability to swing outside would make him that much more valuable to the 49ers.

Hey MD, do you have any feeling about Kolton Miller?How would you feel about the Niners drafting him?

It is ok to question me.

The beauty of the draft is the unpredictability. I will admit that biases can cloud my thinking, and that can cause me to rank players differently in the early stages. The more games you watch, the more you come to new conclusions about players. It is a long-haul process. In the end, nobody really knows what they are doing, because they all get canned at some point. You ride the rollercoaster as long as you can before someone kicks you off.
