Malachi Fields running two 4.6 40's was pretty disappointing. Same with Carnell Tate running a 4.54. But I still would draft Tate in the top 10.
And even though my guy Dillon Thienenman won't be there at #27 or be drafted by the 9ers. I wouldn't mind Gerrmie Bernard at #27. I can't see him lasting till the 58th pick.
Bernard is not a 1st round pick. He's a mid/late 2nd rounder that could feasibly slip to the early 3rd. Have no issues taking Bernard at 58 or a small trade up a few slots to 53-56 if he was our guy. Also guys like Antonio Williams and Ted Hurst are going to be around at 58 so lots of good WR options there.
Cooper Jr is better than Bernard although he might not even be there at 27 now.
If Im the 49ers and Cooper Jr makes it to #24 where the Browns pick Im trading a 2027 4th and 6th to move up to pick him. Then I'd try and trade back from 58 to get that 2027 4th back and grab Dunker or Rutledge to immediately start at LG.
But if we miss on Cooper in the 1st I'd take any one of Bernard, Williams, Hurst at 58 ... or Kendrick Law/Bryce Lance at 92
Yah I'm not counting on Cooper being there at #27. I mean if he is no doubt you take Cooper. I'm just trying to think how the 9ers brass thinks, we all didn't think Pearsall was a 1st round pick. Bernardo's Shanahan likes him I can see him reaching a little. Bernard had a pretty solid Combine performance to go along with his college career. IMO I think some of these players go higher than we think.
Instead of reaching for Bernard at 27 id prefer to trade up with the Browns to get Cooper Jr if he makes it to 24.
And with Cooper Jr's 40 time that could push Concepcion down to 27 if Cooper Jr went before him.
I think some players go higher than we think but at the same time I think some players people like and crush on and over value where they will get picked. Goes both waays
If guys like cooper and KC go ahead of us, that means someone else good falls. SF could stand to improve just about everywhere.
I'll gladly take Kayden McDonald if Cooper Jr and KC are gone. If all three are gone, trade back.
The three reaches at #27 I can accept are
1. Lawrence EDGE as getting less likely he will even be there at #58 and he looks like he could be dominant
2. Pregnon LG - safest pick in the draft and I've never enjoyed watching a guard play on youtube highlights
3. Iheanachor OT - T Williams situation so would not complain about getting a top tier OT
