2013 NFL DRAFT Baalke Bash Partie deux et trois

[Dodub]

Cards go with Minter.

When the crap is my boy Arthur Brown gonna be picked dammit!!

 

[ChrisPozz]

Argh! I thought the Panthers stole Sione Fua back in the day and he didn't really pan out ( yet)and now they take another one of my favorites in Kawann Short.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Dang. Minter was another one of my favorites. Not for the 49ers, but....

 

[Dodub]

Damn, still no arthur brown

 

[BINGO]

I believe we will put Tank in the PUP.

 

[ZepTepi]

There goes Escobar.

 

[ChrisPozz]

I thought Alonso wasn't a good fit for a lot of teams. To Buffalo, though, ehhhhh....

 

[Heathbar012]

Wow. Kiko ahead of Arthur Brown? I could understand Minter, but Alonso?

 

[NinerSickness]

Is Hankins a closet meth addict or something?

These teams who are passing on him are out of their minds.

8 (40) Cornellius (Tank) Carradine

Florida State DE
San Francisco from Tennessee

What he brings: Carradine has an ideal frame, good length, and natural strength and power. He plays with leverage setting the edge against the run, and is relentless as a pass-rusher. He will be most effective when turned loose to find the ball, where he can use his high motor to cause disruption. Carradine doesn't have ideal instincts, but he has upside to become an impact pass-rusher if he's coached up properly.

How he fits: Until this offseason, the edge of this defensive line was a position of strength. But age and durability could be issues with defensive ends Justin Smith and Ray McDonald, and their best pass-rusher, Aldon Smith, needs a physical player next to him to eat up blockers. This is a versatile defense that can show a variety of 3-4 and 4-3 looks, and it will likely utilize Carradine as either an edge pass-rusher, either with his hand on the ground or coming off the edge in a two-point stance, depending on the scheme. This coaching staff loves versatility out of its pass-rushers.

 

[ChrisPozz]

And Jerry Jones has a long history of stealing some of my favorites, too. If he does it with Lacy as a throw in to THAT offense I'll throw up.

[EaseUrStorm]

Moore from Texas A&M is falling like a rock!

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. Teams are concerned he'll be able to get to the QB and doesn't have a lot of upside. Those types of players do tend to fall pretty bad.

 

[yossarian]

Dallas took Escobar

Ohio State's staff were very vocal with the media that work ethic wasn't an issue with him and that he made big strides with keeping his weight in check and that conditioning was always improving with him. However, I wonder how he interviewed OR if the stuff that was thrown out PUBLICALLY on him didn't match what teams got behind closed doors on him. And the medical thing could have factored in, too. But sheesh, this is getting crazy.

Overall Football Traits

Production 2
2009-'10: Butler C.C. - 26 sacks in two years.2011: FSU (13/0)  38-8-5.5 2012: (12/11) - 80-13-11

Height-Weight-Speed 2
Chiseled frame with above-average length and bulk. Estimated top-end speed is adequate but not great. Has very long arms (34.6) and big hands (10.2).

Durability 4
Missed last two games of 2012 season with a torn right ACL. Did not participate at combine workouts.

Intangibles 1
Nicknamed 'Tank'. Failed to qualify academically out of high school, which forced him to take the community college route. Transferred from Butler C.C. to FSU prior to the 2011 season. Excellent work ethic and is regarded as one of the strongest players on the team.

Pass Rush Skills 2
Needs to anticipate the snap count better and cut down on initial wasted motion. However, he displays a quick first step and can be very effective when he keeps his pads low when coming off the ball. Flashes explosive upper-body power and can convert speed-to-power as a rusher. Displays quick hands to counter and does a nice job with his club move when working outside-in as a pass rusher. But needs refinement with rip and push-pull moves. Is a bit mechanical when redirecting on stunts/twists. Flashes innate feel for blockers leaning one way. Also flashes some torso flexibility when turning the corner. Closing burst is very good and can get home when gets into the clear. Can deliver a violent and heavy shot when able to line up the QB.

Versus the run 3
Possesses good core strength in this department. Comes off the ball with good leverage and can lock out to set the edge. Does a nice job of getting across OTs face and out in front on stretch runs. Like his hand usage versus the run. Has heavy hands and can control the point. Needs to become savvier with hands, though. Gets stuck on too many blocks. Recognition skills need to improve versus the run. Can be a second late finding the ball and will peek inside on occasion when having edge responsibility. Closes quickly and can factor into plays when pursuing from the backside. Possesses long arms and strong hands as a tackler.

Versatility 3
Lines up at both RDE and LDE but plays strictly with his hand in the dirt. Observed him dropping into coverage one time through six games of tape study. Appears to be at his best when playing forward and able to 'hunt'. Could occasionally move inside in nickel/dime situations as a rusher.

Instincts/Motor 1
Shows very good core strength and does not back down from challenges. Tough and will mix it up. Very good motor. Observed several second effort tackles or sacks during film study.

I'd have taken Lacey already if I were the 49ers.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Swelling around thigh bone no biggie.

 

[BINGO]

Escobar is sneaky good.

 

[Dodub]
