•Jordan Lynch moving to safety?
•TE Jordan Najvar impressing scouts
•Jimmy Garoppolo is the best out of the QB group and may earn his way to a senior bowl spot
•CB Pierre Desir is steadily making scouts notice him
Kinda off topic but interesting nonetheless
•"Romeo Crennel coached the West squad, and the practice was one of the most poorly run I have ever seen. This doesn't exactly bode well for the Houston Texans defense."

We shall see next year if the above has any relevance at all.

Honestly if it had been Babich, you'd have been railing on him.
Garoppolo is definitely my favorite QB after the big 4 are off the board. The only day 2 and later QB that has a chance to break past QB purgatory realm IMO.
Desir looks really good and fits Gus' style to a tee, but he's going to be a 3rd or maybe even 2nd rounder and I don't think we'll go DB that high. However, Andre Dixon is impressing a lot too, was Gratz' teammate at UCONN last year, and looks to be in the same big press corner mold that will be a nice value on day 3.
Out of all the players coming out, Desir's draft stock is the one most affected by the offseason workouts. He's probably a 5th or 6th rounder going into the process, but has the ability to maybe shoot up as high as the end of the 1st if he has an A+ predraft season.

wait and see? that's not you

That lack of coaching effort is not new for Crennel and is the biggest reason for Kansas City being the worst team in football last year, in spite of their roster of probowlers.
Will O'Brien light a fire under his [BLEEP] the way Belichick did remains to be seen.

He would start a thread and expend at minimum 10,000 words arguing, manipulating, twisting, contradicting and flopping.

WIth all due respect, Babich's resume as a DC stinks. There would be corrolation.
Crennel has a solid resume as a DC only.

No he really doesn't. You have issues with guys that "benefit" from their head coaches to make them look good yet you like Romeo as a DC? The guy looked good a few years in New England under the best coach in football. Goes off on his own and stinks. Takes over a talented KC squad (particularly on defense) and does so well they end up with the number 1 pick and he's canned. Don't waste your time trying to say that was because he was he HC, he's a good DC, bad HC etc. That's bogus. He failed with that defense. It took one of his buddies to get him back to a DC job. Romeo is a great guy but he's struggled post-coach hoodie and he's certainly not the coach you've trumpeted him to be.

So there'd be correlation if it were Babich. But not if it's Crennel? And you don't see the gap in logic here?

This post is perfect.
Gus rode the coatails of Carrol.
OC for niners (name is escaping me) was just a product of Harbaugh and wouldn't be a good head coach. Later changed his opinion when we never interviewed him.
Now this guy who has the exact same questions but seems even worse is a slam dunk DC.
The only difference is Crennel isn't on the jags.
Desir came in at 6' 7/8'' btw, so over a full inch shorter than expected. Not particularly surprising and he still looks really talented but it's worth noting.
The DT's are impressing:
Quote:Zach Kerr/DT/Delaware: Shrine practices are an opportunity for small-school players to prove they can play at a big-league level, and that's exactly what Kerr did on Monday. The powerful lineman was explosive and showed a variety of skill. On one play, Kerr annihilated John Urschel of Penn State. Later, he looked fluid moving about the field in pursuit of the action. The ability to clog the gaps as well as make plays behind the line of scrimmage or in lateral pursuit will surely enhance Kerr's draft grade.
Jay Bromley/DT/Syracuse: Bromley was a one-man wrecking crew on Monday, a force too powerful to stop. Just about every time he lined up, Bromley penetrated the line of scrimmage and collapsed the pocket. During full scrimmage, he devoured double-team blocks, pushing multiple linemen off the ball to disrupt the action. And though Bromley looked a bit one-dimensional in his game, he was dominant in that single dimension.
