The Day 3 Guys

Phoenix49ers · 2022-04-29T22:25:42-07:00

A list of prospects that I feel could work well for the 49ers Rounds 4-7. Zach Tom-OT/OG-Wake Forest. Is projected to play guard or center in the NFL. Nothing spectacular, just a lineman that is extremely smart and technically proficient, doesn't get beat very often as a pass blocker. Has the necessary movement skills for this scheme. To me he's the top potential center prospect remaining. I wouldn't be at all mad if they gave up a future pick to be able to acquire an early 4th and get him. He's experienced enough that he could be a potential starter at guard as a rookie and the center of the future. Zach Tom really settled in at center. Again, LT at Wake Forest with great mobility and he's making money in Vegas. pic.twitter.com/QqgmrpTlUh— Matt Alkire (@mattalkire) February 1, 2022LT Zach Tom. pic.twitter.com/rTsa3vFJsT— cristian DRAFT (@Cristianspfc_) April 19, 2022Zach Tom's 92.1 Pass Blocking Grade in 2021 is the highest by an ACC OL since 2015 🎩📸 via @WakeFB pic.twitter.com/srRDtMdTdm— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 23, 2022Darian Kinnard-OG-Kentucky. Pure guard, big, physical mauler with some decent movement ability. He's feisty and plays through the whistle. One of the more memorable parts of the Senior Bowl practices was his showdown with Jermaine Johnson. Johnson is one of the best edge rushers in this draft and Kinnard didn't back down from him even a bit. Lions coaching staff ended practice with a 1-on-1. Each side chose a player to represent them.FSU's Jermaine Johnson vs. UK's Darian Kinnard.Best 2-out-of-3. Johnson won the first rep. Kinnard got the second one. This was the last rep.Kinnard got him — and the finger wag pic.twitter.com/cq0rqpGD2O— Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) February 1, 2022Kalia Davis-DT-UCF. Really quick, attacking tackle that routinely got into the backfield in college. His explosiveness off the snap routinely caught OL's napping. 🚨SLEEPER ALERT🚨@UCF_Football Kalia Davis (@KaliaDavis20) wasn't on Senior Bowl Watch List but he's been one of most impressive DT in CFB on early tape. Fifth-year prospect opted out 2020 due to Covid but jumps off 🎥 with his disruptive traits. 💤📈#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/SIGdhGpTZl— Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) September 29, 2021Talk about speed to power transfer; @UCF_Football's Kalia Davis is an absolute menace on the interior, with an explosive first step and ability to rock blockers and find their edges. Effective against the run and pass, he might just crack day 2: #NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/KgG7qjsvdQ— Simon Carroll (@NFLDraftSi) March 29, 2022Damarri Mathis-CB-Pitt. Mathis of the ridiculous vertical at his Pro Day and a CB that was quite productive. Tremendous athleticism and a pitbull sort of mentality makes him my favorite remaining CB left in this draft. Damarri Mathis (@Marri863) getting buzz after posting 43.5 VJ and 11-1 BJ at @Pitt_FB pro-day but his physicality is what originally got @seniorbowl's attention. Plenty of examples on '21 🎥. Personally haven't seen 43.5 vert since Troy Polamalu in '03.#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/ulgxjImPu2— Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) March 21, 2022#Bengals fans, check out CB Damarri Mathis out of Pittsburgh, a day 3 corner prospect who is a very underrated corner. He's very physical, and is quick to read and react. He tries too hard to lay the wood instead of wrap up, but the tools are there. Would thrive in heavy zone. pic.twitter.com/nYeF1HnpBB— Johnny Bengal 🐅 (@JohnnyNIX88) April 5, 2022Decobie Durant-CB-South Carolina State.- K'Waun Williams is gone and the 49ers need a potential slot replacement. Durant is a guy best suited for just that in the NFL. He shows tremendous ability to flip his hips and can run with anyone. He was quite productive and has some big games against quality competition, including 2 INT's against Clemson. SC State CB Decobie Durant (5-10, 180, #14) is a prospect to keep an eye on today in the Cricket Celebration Bowl vs. Jackson State (Noon ET, ABC).The reigning MEAC Defensive Player of the Year had his best game against Clemson earlier this season where he recorded 2 INTs. pic.twitter.com/x5ROvCvp4X— Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) December 18, 2021Great job by #SCSU DB Decobie Durant playing through the hands of the receiver and staying in his hip pocket. I can see Durant transitioning smoothly as a nickel at the next level. pic.twitter.com/LaSX6EIEDG— Devin Jackson (@RealD_Jackson) December 18, 2021Isaih Pacheco-RB-Rutgers. 49ers already went to the RB well with Davis-Price and it wouldn't shock me to see them do it again in this draft. Pacheco is the kind of guy you take a shot on late. He's got great size for the position, phenomenal athletic ability, was limited by a crap OL that didn't open up a lot of running room for him, he's someone that you could throw in on special teams as a gunner initially, like Mostert was and then let him work his way up the RB rotation. Isaih Pacheco takes it to the house for a 33-yard touchdown! #Rutgers leads 14-7 pic.twitter.com/fVcxH8LLhh— Rutgers Scarlet Knights | TheKnightReport.Net (@RutgersRivals) December 19, 2020Rutgers RB Isaih Pacheco is a name to remember. Great vision and cutback for the score. pic.twitter.com/SZrOEvOSaa— Damian Parson (@DP_NFL) October 24, 2020#Rutgers RB Isaih Pacheco has my full attention. Converted high school QB with excellent athleticism & speed. Cuts are quick and his runs show patience and tempo. Anxious to see how he performs throughout the season #devy #CFF pic.twitter.com/8HFUEF4ycB— Jason DiRienzo (@allpurposescout) August 31, 2019Isaiah Likely-TE-Coastal Carolina. Big receiving TE that can be a vertical threat down the field. Great hands and a well developed route runner. He was highly productive in college and known for his leadership ability on and off the field. Would fit really well with this locker room and especially the TE room. Isaiah Likely's career 95.1 Receiving Grade is the highest by any FBS TE 🔥pic.twitter.com/M0yodiLhbR— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 16, 2022Coastal Carolina covers the spread in the first half on this incredible grab by Isaiah Likely pic.twitter.com/imcIZIv3Sv— Sun Belt Pages (@SBPages) October 8, 2021Eric Johnson-DT-Missouri State. Another quick penetrating DT that can get upfield in a hurry. Experienced small school guy that really made a strong showing at the Senior Bowl. Missouri State's Eric Johnson sacks SDSU's Chris Oladokun. #FCS pic.twitter.com/olA5Xhfhv5— HERO Sports FCS (@HEROSports_FCS) January 29, 20225 days! Missouri State 3 tech Eric Johnson stands at 6'5 286 and is our 10th ranked IDLStrong, fast hands who can play every down. Athletic too as he demonstrates here. Eric can get to the QB or stop the run. A typical 3 tech that you want for your team. #NFLTwitter pic.twitter.com/QwMSezXxwL— Joey and Logan (@Joe_and_Lo) April 23, 2022He flashed in day-one, and here he is day-two. Missouri State's Eric Johnson's length, lever, and drive is really standing out. pic.twitter.com/Z2zYx9okRM— Cory (@realcorykinnan) February 3, 2022Johnson part II against Darrian Kinnard! My goodness. pic.twitter.com/fe0GsYHZyF— Cory (@realcorykinnan) February 3, 2022

More Tom.

PFF's best available prospects heading into Day 3⃣

🥇 Sam Howell
🥈 Kingsley Enagbare
🥉 Zach Tomhttps://t.co/0rDjyHErLi
— PFF (@PFF) April 30, 2022

O lineman Zach Tom has quickly turned into one of my favorite IOL prospects. Played OT at Wake, even had the highest past blocking PFF grade at 92.1. The man handles McCall here. Could be an instant starter for a team. @zachtom5 #DraftTwitter #NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/nTPNX7N0Hg

Top Pass Blocking Grades by FBS OL in 2022 draft class (removing screens, jet motions), per @PFF_College.

1. Zach Tom, Wake Forest
2. Bernhard Raimann, CMU
3. Abraham Lucas, Wash St
4. Kellen Diesch, Arizona St (📽️from #ShrineBowl)

Expecting all four to go comfortably Top 100. pic.twitter.com/lNZKMwvjnw

Wake Forest LT Zach Tom did a great job against FLST's J. Johnson

Tom might to be kicked inside. If so, he's among a deep list of solid IOL outside of day one/Rd 2

Tom had the best pass blocking grade in 2021 among all OL that played at least 20% of snaps, per @PFF_Giants pic.twitter.com/G9iyo0eKxP

If they have interest in him, he's someone that they'd have to move up for or acquire an early pick in the 4th.

49ers desperately need to add beef inside on the DL. If Kinlaw goes down, they're basically f**ked inside even with the addition of Hassan Ridgeway. The 2021 season really exposed those undersized interior DL we've been collecting the last few years. We need a beefy dude(300 lbs or more) to plug in at the 2i nose with the ability to anchor down against double teams(super important) while also having some ability to penetrate and get upfield, reset the line of scrimmage, and the athleticism to work horizontally.

In other words, we need another DJ Jones.

Solid video! Hoping we address IOL and S next. Wouldn't mind a corner as well. I agree that if Mack hangs it up, we need to go after Tretter hard!

Thank you wolf packer. Some Guard options out there. I'd lean towards Zach Tom for his versatility. I like McKinley a lot at safety but I still think we bring back Tartt

Am I the only one who likes Smoke Monday?

He seems like a good safety to me but I admit I am very swayed by how awesome his name is.

Zack Tom OG (2019, played 1030 snaps at OC)
Jalyn Armour-Davis CB (played the majority of snaps on the outside, but has played slot)
Matt Waletzko, OT (elite RAS score at 9.96)
Cade Otton TE (average athelete, do everything TE)
Khalil Shakir WR (good speed, great hands)
Calvin Austin WR (immediate fit at returner, adds elite speed)
Kyle Philips, WR (ideal slot WR
Damarion Williams, CB (Marcus Jones's teammate, stealh slot CB option, should be available late)

I'd like to see the Niners draft as many of these gents as possible. If they have to trade up or use next year's picks, this list has traits to add depth or compete this year.
