Ballhawk safety

Glad someone sees him! I asked OTC how he feels about Bishop on the second page of this thread. I feel like he's being completely slept on while all the attention goes to Ramsey

Haven't had a chance to scout him in depth yet. So far it's been limited. I will say he seems like he has much better instincts than Jayir but not to the level of a guy like Michael Taffe IMO. I'm curious how he'll time cause I can't decide if I see the speed and range I want back there.

That said, elite instincts can mask some speed issues. Unfortunately for guys like Jayir, you can't be lacking in both..

I was able to look at Taafte he may be the worst tackler in the draft his 2024 tape was rough

Where were you seeing this? I saw perfect form tackling and phenomenal football IQ / instincts in his 2025 tape. Maybe he was just inexperienced the prior year?

i just looked into it apparently he improved a lot in 2025 so i may have to rewatch him and just sperate the 2024 tape from 2025 but that was just a rough watch

He had 19 missed tackles in 2024 and a missed tackle rate of over 20% i think that has to be one of the most in the confrence. This past year in 2025 he had 7 missed tackles. Im with you on him in terms of reading coverages and his ability as a coverage safety also has good ball skills

Was going to ask the same thing. I like Kilgore a lot. He's pretty fast, can cover and tackles with some violence. Seems like a good fit for a versatile "star" kind of role. But I don't see anyone talking about him….

49ers got a real DB coach now, hopefully this is who he wants. Trust in Gray.

He's not a FS but he's awesome and would be an upgrade over Mustapha.

But the least of our problems is Muatapha so we have to be looking at FS like a Bud Clark in the late 3rd early 4th.

Or trade down to #40 pick up three additional picks and draft AJ Haulcy

Prefer Bud Clark but if we took this guy at 138 I wouldn't love it but wouldn't hate it.

Warrens length is crazy. You get him in a robber role with Fred in the middle of the field and its going to be difficult to hit those mid throws in front of the deep safety.

Get Kilgore in here too. Hes got great length and can transform a defense playing big nickel.
