1) RT Olumuyiwa Fashanu * this is the guy that hardly anyone is talking 'bout here, and that could well be the pick, as apparently his intangibles/mental makeup are off the charts

2) NT T'Vondre Sweat * if for some reason he's not on the board, the guy that B/R has on there that makes sense for me, is NB Kamari Lassiter

3) ST Patrick Paul, RB Audric Estime, FS Cole Bishop, RB Jonathan Brooks, OC Sedrick Van Pran, RB Braelon Allen * if we have a second pick here, think we've got to be looking RB, albeit think you've got to make sure you've got your OC before worrying 'bout your back.... my choice is the safety, but would be better if he lasted 'til 106, and like Patrick Paul some as our swing tackle

4) ST Blake Fisher, OG Zak Zinter, LB Cedric Gray, TE Ben Sinnott * wouldn't hesitate to draft some of these guys day two, as think Blake Fisher is a guy that might be good/better value here

5) DT Gabe Hall, WR Brenden Rice, RB Daijun Edwards *

Splat is the sound of wu spitballing on Centers du jour.

Nate Tice prefers Connor Barton @ #37 ("JPJ's hands are all over the place.")

Sedrick has callouses...and warts.

Sleep on Nourzad (and others) at your own peril.

Interesting takeaways when contrasting between Lance Zierlein and Brandon Thorn & their respective opinions on OTs:

• Zierlein has JC Latham as OT1, earning “Year 1 starter” status. Alt earns OT3 & “good starter in 2 years” rating.
• Thorn has Taliese Fuaga as a Guard, while Zierlein feels that he’s best at RT.
• Not OL related, but Zierlein rates Nabers above MHJ
• Caveat - Thorn’s reports are a little older (11/23). Also, he obviously only wrote reports for offensive linemen, since that his area of expertise.

Zierlein’s OT rankings & grades (NFL.com grading system)

1. JC Latham (6.70)
2. O Fashanu (6.50)
3. Joe Alt (6.49)
4. Taliese Fuaga (6.48)
5. Amarius Mims (6.45)

Thorn’s OT rankings & grades (B/R grading system)

1. Joe Alt (9.0)
2. O Fashanu (9.0)
3. JC Latham (8.4)
4. Amarius Mims (7.8)
5. Tyler Guyton (7.6)

• Has Taliese Fuaga as IOL (7.6 grade). Also 31st on B/R’s big board.

I find the regard for Latham perplexing. Gonna have to watch him some more...the game I watched showed a road grader with heavy feet...very Flukerish. Maybe one game wasnt fair, so Ill give him another look...but Alt anything but #1 is crazy. Easily the most polished prospect, with no real weakness in his game.

I'm not the guy who has the time or the expertise to evaluate game tape. How did Robinson fare during the season? It's cool that he can run fast and jump high. Can he play football??

Robinson did not run fast (4.95). He has flexibility for DT and DE in college but his speed and explosiveness didn't show up yesterday. Id call him a IDL in the NFL. Has good height and long arms.

He does weigh 285 so not bad speed for his size but for an Edge, not great. 10 yard not great either.

I do not discount intangibles/mental makeup. I think that’s big for Harbaugh.

That sounds like a guy who may not cut it inside the middle of a trench. thanks for the adds, good intel.

He could be like the Rams Koby Turner. He is their NT at 288 lbs. Like Turner,... Robinson has big hands and long arms but Turner is shorter at 6'2". Robinson is 6'5".

I just don't think Robinson would project to an edge in the NFL with his explosion figures but who knows. But could do well inside. You don't need to be a fatty at DT to do well.
Think I'm keeping Robinson round 3-4. He also only did 21 reps.

Renardo Green--CB

21?!?!? Shit, thats weak - Velo throws up 27 with one arm. He’s gonna get laughed out of the locker room after Velo strolls up and midget-tosses him across the room. Velo only weighs 135 1/2 lbs.

wu is doing his famous spin move.
Dallas Turner @ #5.

Turner has all the explosive positives in his drills plus the long arms.

Bummer Wiggins only weighed in at 173 at 6'3". But there are several CBs to like in this draft .

B.Herb will have Robinson doing 30 by Sept
