uy they drafted from Iowa"Why wouldn’t you? The San Francisco 49ers found a gem late in the 2017 NFL Draft. Tight end George Kittle is already one of the best players in the league at his position. The former Iowa Hawkeye is one of the best athletes at his position https://www.49ersfanshop.com/C.-J.-Beathard-Jersey , too. Speaking of athletes, Noah Fant isn’t too shabby himself. According to Alex Marvex of Sirius XM NFL Radio, the 49ers are hosting Fant at some point this week.Here’s how they measure up against each other:Kittle: 6’4”, 247 pounds, 4.52 40-yard dash. 35” vertical jump. 11-foot broad jump.Fant: 6’4”, 249 pounds 4.5 40-yard dash, 39.5” vertical Matt Breida Jersey , 10.5 broad jump.How crazy is that? From an on the field perspective, the two are quite different. It’s tough to compare anyones blocking to Kittle, but he’s just so much better in that area than Fant. Fant is more of a down the seam or use his athleticism to create mismatches on play-action. Which makes him a perfect fit for Kyle Shanahan’s heavy, successful, play-action offense. Iowa split out Fant wide quite a bit. He was also their slot receiver, and even would get bubble screens thrown to him on fourth down. That gives you the type of idea of the athlete he is if the numbers above didn’t help.What do you think, double down on TE? Inclement weather for Wednesday’s practice forced the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff and the rest of the Senior Bowl indoors. With most of the media excluded for the day Trent Taylor Color Rush Jersey , the Draft Network, on-site in Mobile, Alabama, took it upon themselves to put together a live mock NFL Draft. It didn’t take long for the 49ers to strike gold.Draft analyst Jon Ledyard pegged the Arizona Cardinals with Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams at No. 1 overall. This left the door wide open for the 49ers and a pass rusher widely regarded as the draft’s best overall player, Ohio State’s Nick Bosa.Fellow analyst Trevor Sikkema, who made the pick for the 49ers, had this to say on their selection of Nick Bosa: This is the dream scenario for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers land the draft’s top player at a clear position of need among a defense that’s struggled to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks the last two seasons. In 29 games https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Adrian-Colbert-Jersey , Bosa totaled 77 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks and two forced fumbles for the Buckeyes. He’d be an every-down pass rusher in Robert Saleh’s 4-3 defensive scheme and an ideal complement to 49ers defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, who totaled 12 sacks in 2018.Bosa’s production is made more impressive considering his junior season was cut short after suffering an abdominal injury against TCU in Week 3. Rather than rehabilitate and return to Ohio State later in the year, Bosa opted to forgo the rest of the season and prepare for the NFL Draft. The decision hasn’t damaged his draft stock.The 49ers’ next chance to see Bosa on the field will be at the NFL Combine beginning on February 26th.You can watch the mock via the tweet below.
