Hero, go see what you can find on Khristian Boyd

I'll definitely check him out.

If Sweat is there when they're picking on day 2, I'd struggle not pulling the trigger if I were the 49ers. They've rebuilt the DL, and the only thing missing a base run-stopping nose tackle.

The only real options before the late late rounds are Sweat, Jackson, and maybe Dewayne Carter.

He also had foot surgery earlier in the year. That said, I'm pretty sure he's unanimously seen as the #1 DT. I still think he goes top 25.

Six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick is a fellow devotee of the derriere, according to Georgia coach Kirby Smart. In a video posted to X last year, Smart described the time he joined Belichick to watch defensive linemen run the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. Smart, then the Dolphins defensive coordinator, was confused by Belichick watching the drill from behind the starting line.

"I was like, 'Why are we here? You can't time the finish,'" Smart said. Dolphins coach Nick Saban, a friend and former colleague of Belichick's, had the answer, according to Smart: "Bill likes to look and see how big their ass is when they get down in a 40-yard stance because he wants to sign the biggest-assed defensive linemen he can sign."

Brandon Dorlus has the versatility to line up anywhere on the line, but he also has quickness, twitch, and flashes effective moves with his hands pic.twitter.com/OvBtTYQg5N

Those are some crafty, heavy hands. Nice job of syncing up hands and feet in his moves. I need to peep this dude. He looks nice.

Looks better than I expected. His size had me concerned because he was listed as a 6-2 275 DT a lot of places.

6-3 283 as a power DE isn't so bad. And his interior experience means versatility. I can see why we're interested. Dude actually has moves/technique.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to "can you find a way to beat the guy in front of you?" and the odds go up when you have a lot you effectively throw at your opponent.

Exactly and apparently the only reason this guy isn't really getting touted is because of the stats. Watched a little bit of him when I saw that we are bringing him in, he wins a lot, I think his best ball is still to come. Would be a great day 3 pick
