TRADED Rashard Robinson CB LSU - 4th Round pick - BYE RASHARD

You might be one of the few people here that reads Grant's stuff.

Do you think that he knows more than the 49ers scouting department? I don't.

With all of these picks, what people *think* about how they are going to do is not the same as what they are going to do. Some players will do better than where they are projected, some will be about the same and others will be worse.

Welcome to the Zone.

On the bench press. Seriously man i was just reading that Grant Cohn article. Though i feel a little better about our 6th round than he does, i feel we whiffed big time with our 3rd and 4th round picks, and maybe the T's in the 5th.

But 5 reps thats hilarious, 171 pounds Grant called that high school stuff that is right. Anyway Trent is a cool customer continues to operate like he's got it all under control and not worried about job security. 4dbs in 2014, 3 this year WTH is going on.

Anyway im new to the zone happy to be here posting for the first time after lurking for years lol

And this is how you start your first thread?




Welcome!

He's a niner = great pick!

That's my warm up.

I know lol i didnt wanna start my zone career like this. I actually am excited for this season, i was at the draft party, ill be at the opener monday night against the rams so im not a negative dude. Guess i just teally wanted Dixon and Leraven clark in those spots

I don't care how many bench presses the guy can do. It's what happens on the field that matters. If he can't perform on the field then he'll be gone in short order.

NFL.com on Robinson's positives:

STRENGTHS: Tremendously long athlete with cover skills to blanket his target in press-man. Recovery speed allows him to sit on short and intermediate routes. Can flip hips and accelerate with his man down the field. Smooth change of speed to mirror double movers. Thin, but not soft. Plays to his height and it often spells doom when he has receivers pinned against the sideline. In 2013, held then-Aggie Mike Evans to four catches for 51 yards. Willing to do his part when he has to tackle. Explosive from stand­still and can close quickly on throws or receivers.

no doubt he will put on weight this summer. It is a concern though. I mean im 5'10 and 167lbs. i couldnt imagine playing in the NFL with these monsters and this guy is 3 inches taller than me and almost the same weight. I can barely do 1 rep on 225lbs though haha

Baalke brought him in to be a potential press corner. I'm not sure the main thing you're looking for in a press corner is a lot of bench presses. Closing speed, quick twitch, length, ball skills - I'll take a corner with those skills over a guy who can do lots of presses any day.

Lost me when you said I read a grant Cohn article lol, his articles are as negative as they get....got to understand the kid hadn't been around football or a strengthing staff in over a yr, no doubt he can put on some lbs and get stronger he's only 20. I think if there's a position that you don't need a big strong football player it's CB anyway...rather have long, fast and flexible CB then some beefed up dude

We will have to get stronger no doubt but I think we have a solid staff for that, I mean Harold put on like 30 lbs this off season

Oh and welcome

You trying to become the next Sus lol?

The guy is 6'1 182 already. 8 pounds from ideal weight. In one month under a professional diet and condition program here, he'll be at his ideal weight. There aren't that many big WR's who are going to get away with what Evans did (and even then, Robinson clearly won the day).

Tyrann Mathieu weighed 186 lbs at the combine and only managed 4 reps. He ended up just fine

But the Niners picked him so it must be a bad pick.
