I don't know, but apparently whatever it was it occurred in High School, at Texas A&M, and at Mississippi.

Yup I agree
Is there that big of a difference, or any, between he and Harmon?

I read he went to 3 different high schools.
Hope we have proper guys doing this type of vetting. I know Chris Jones had concerns about him which is likely why he dropped and clearly was a massive win for KC and he's been nothing but special for them.
Of course if it's more than simple maturity stuff then I'd rather we pass even though I love the talent. Wish we knew the details but gotta hope the team finds them and makes the right call whether to bring him in or pass. I do think we have the right group to get guys to play their best with the culture we have but if it's more than commitment type stuff then we should pass imo.

I'm weary of the Niners moving up for anyone.

I agree Nolan is the archetype that the Niners love, but I just can't get behind his hype. Will probably be one of the guys I'm ultimately just too low on.

For me at this current juncture it's Nolen/Tyleik at 1A and 1B. Given the recent news I'd lean towards Tyleik. With Harmon and Norman-Lott as my 2A and 2 B. I would be happy with any 4 of these guys and feel like we must come away with 1.

This draft is so deep at dt any guy with honest effort questions is easy to push down on your board.

I'm not seeing any effort questions with Nolen on the field. Maybe that was something at A&M? They will figure that out through interviews and talking to coaches. If they're satisfied with the answers I'm fine with it.

Same, but so far aside Graham I am not hell bent on any other DT at 11.

Talent is clearly there dude was a 5 star recruit, #1 at his position in the nation.
All about staying clean, putting in the work to improve and play up to that talent. I think we have the coaching and roster to get the best out of him but have to make sure his off the field stuff won't ruin anything on the field.

Same. 11 is too rich for me but I'd be fine in a trade back

Outside of Graham, hunter or Carter I'm not really over excited about any of the guys that are up at the top.
And even Graham doesn't really have the overall length you want and I wouldn't call him an athletic specimen. I think the combine might push him down a little (hopefully).
Carter whom is damn good has his warts too. He was consistently on the ground and doesn't have that elite size you want at DE. He's not Myles Garrett that's for sure. Still in this draft I'd absolutely take him at 11.
Trade down would be ideal. The meat and potatoes of this draft is on day 2.
