Man, this Jason Poe kid out of Mercer. Looks like he owned Alabama (55 second mark):


Would not be surprised if he made the team. A freakish athlete for a lineman.

Seriously. I think he deserves his own thread already.

He will be on a roster. Kick/punt returns, FG unit, and short yardage packages. If he can not make it as a guard he can likely stick as a 3rd TE in the NFL. Hell he might go pick up long snapping just to make it.

Hell, if he can become the LS, no more Taybor Pepper.

As I've said before, I really hope he takes over for Brunskill at RG

Yeah he's a huge sleeper… only a genius would have found him before the draft.

This is getting a lil ambitious... we got Ray Ray for that

That would be ideal if MM struggles because as we all know in 2019 Brunskill did very very well at both tackle spots in back up duty. He's a better pass protector than Mike McGlinchey as a Tackle but not as good in the run game.

Agree, with our OLine injury situation year in and year out, why not!!!

I love the idea, we shall see if ShanaLynch loves it too.

This is getting a lil ambitious... we got Ray Ray for that

Seeing a man of that size returning punts/kicks would be highly entertaining though.

Lol yeah, but he probably meant kick & return cover unit, I hope anyway.

Poe and west could be starters right away if mack retires. My favorite signings along with O'Neal. Honestly well done by lynch and the scouting department. I thought they picked well and are always on top of the udfa market.

I really like the pick up as well.. West.. Poe... O'Neal... but it makes you wonder, why they drafted QB Purdy instead of one of the 3 ??

West got more GTD money than he would have if he were the 262nd pick

West got $110K, Purdy's max bonus can be $77,012

idk why O'Neal went undrafted, makes no sense.

BUT that's it.. look at the #s.. it doesn't make any sense ... we could have had Poe or West had we drafted him instead of Purdy...

I mean, think like a smart GM and a smarter HC... did we not need POE - WEST - O'Neal over a Mullen clone like for a QB?

Jesus dude, they probably knew they could get those players, agreements happen sooner than people think.

He seems to be complaining because we didn't draft the guys we signed as UDFA's. Yep, we don't have a smart GM or a smarter HC because they didn't draft their UDFAs with the final draft pick. It's pretty obvious that our dummy FO had set up those guys to sign contracts. What idiots, huh? They should have drafted them.

YOU seem to be complaining because your HC continues to show you that he's NOT the one..

It's also obvious that you just AGREE to whatever move KS10 makes... when in fact YOU would have drafted WEST before Purdy..

.. and i'm pretty SURE that you would not ADMIT..

He is very bad in coverage and misses tackles according to the scouting report. He's another "enforcer" who tries to make up for his skill deficiencies by just knocking the snot out of the ball carrier. Unless he learns some ball skills and coverage, he is destined to be a special teams player. Check out his scouting report, it tells you all you need to know about why he went undrafted.

Yeah the units. Him, with his athleticism, blocking on returns.

Honestly. I do not watch college football. The disparity in team talent is frustrating.
By the way... he is already learning Center snapping and long snapping.

Yeah

This was a weird draft from a number of aspects...QB's not being taken earlier (save Pickett), some really good players not drafted at all. I like our draft and our UDFA's. Niners wasted no time signing Dohnovan West...read where Kiper/McShay had a 3rd rd grade on him. Between West and Poe, I think once Mack retires, we'll have a very good young C to carry on. In fact, other than Trent Williams, we could have an all-new OL. Read some raves about CB Qwantrezz Knight...NFL-N panel seemed pretty high on Castro-Fields. The guy I can't believe didn't get drafted was S O'Neal. Dude's a legit baller, strong, versatile, can cover, etc. He was one of A&M's keys to beating 'Bama.

Yeah , it was a weird from the point of view that a fair number of good players were not selected and went undrafted. This worked out for us. Undrafted free agents have a choice of where they want to go, Players like O'Neal, West, Poe etc I am sure had multiple offers from teams trying to add them to their squad. We signed O'Neal for $50k guaranteed base salary and $10k signing bonus and West for $100K and $10k bonus. UNlike a drafted player, they want to come here. They have a choice in who to sign with, That speaks to our front office, and our perception amongst college players that we are a contending team. I don't have proof, but they might have taken less money to come here. Kids want to come and play for Shanahan, and want to win. I am not sure quality UDFA will come play for Nolan or Chip Kelly. If Poe had offers from us, Jets, Texans, etc. who is he going to choose? This bodes well for us, in that we are a preferred destination not only for UFDA but also for free agents.
