[T-Dubb]

Notes: High school All-American. Third-year junior who lettered as a true freshman in 2000, playing as a backup in seven games. Started every game in 2001 at right tackle and was second-team All-Pac-10. Started all 11 games at right tackle last fall. In all, he started 23 games his sophomore and junior seasons at right tackle and gave up his final year of eligibility to enter the draft. First-team All-Pac-10 selection last fall. Winner of the Morris Trophy, given to top lineman in conference. Honorable mention All-American. Honorable mention Academic All-Pac-10. Entered the NFL draft with one year of eligibility remaining.

Positives: Big, talented, mobile player with great athletic ability and long arms. Can play in space and adjust on the second level. Fluid and agile. Can shuffle and slide. Knee-bender who gets good leverage. Good hand placement. Has good technique. Stays square. Excellent 351-inch vertical jump. Versatile. Can play either tackle position. Gets good leverage.

Negatives: Not consistent, lets up at times and can be beaten as a pass blocker. Late off the ball at times. Could get into his blocks more quickly. Lacks strength, especially in the upper body. Not very physical. Does not take great blocking angles. Needs more reps.


thats what espn says about him.............I kinda wonder why he is playin football though with a 351 inch vertical

 

[TONE DOG THE 01]

Niners 2nd Round Pick

Anthony Adams
Height: 6-0
Weight: 299
Position: DT
College: Penn State





Analysis

Positives: Has good strength and leverage, showing adequate explosion coming off the ball...Quick to locate and react to the play...Shows good pop behind his hand swipes and the lateral movements and change of direction agility to make plays knifing down the line... Hits with power, staying low in his pads and wrapping well when working in-line...His superb balance and low center of gravity makes it very hard to take him off his feet...Has a short closing burst to collide into ball carriers...Uses an array of rip, spin and swim moves to gain penetration, showing a relentless nature in his pass rush and quarterback pursuit...Compensates for his lack of size with power and leverage...Will shock blockers with his initial hand jolt...Casey Hampton-type (Pittsburgh) who is very comfortable in one-on-one matchups and does a very nice job of defeating double teams.
Negatives: Lacks ideal size and bulk...Struggles to shed at times due to his short arms...Can be overwhelmed at the point of attack when blockers get underneath to get a piece of his jersey... Better working in closed quarters, as he seems sluggish in his moves when working in space... Loses speed when asked to run distances...His short arms pose a problem when trying to shed and while he has good swim moves, they are less effective vs. the taller blockers (can not get cross faced)...May be better suited for a one-gap system due to size limitations.

Career Notes

The hard-working and intelligent Motor City native is non-stop on the playing field and in the locker room, providing some lighter moments for his teammates and coaching staff...Of course, the opposition probably got a hint of his lighter side on Saturdays...For certain, they got a feel for his tenacity, talent and instincts...A strong and quick athlete with excellent technique, he demonstrated his continued improvement and big-play capabilities as he combined with Jimmy Kennedy to form one of the Big Ten Conference's most productive defensive tackle tandems...He further demonstrated his desire to excel by earning the 2002 Jim O'Hora Award, presented to a defensive player for "exemplary conduct, loyalty, interest, attitude and improvement"...Finished his career with 166 tackles (94 solos), 6.5 sacks for minus 56 yards, 33 stops for losses of 95 yards, four pass deflections, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles.

Niners 3rd Round Pick!

Andrew Williams
Height: 6-2
Weight: 263
Position: DE
College: Miami (Fla.)





Analysis

Positives: Has a solid, muscular frame...Quick-speed pass rusher with adequate power in his game...Quick to react to the plays...Very active with his hands, using them effectively to separate and avoid the cut blocks...Has the lateral agility to work down the line of scrimmage...Wrapup tackler that enjoys contact, keeping his feet and maintaining balance getting through traffic...Shows good closing speed and the ability to chase from behind... Charges hard upfield and shows excellent quickness coming off the edge...Bends his knees properly and plays with leverage.
Negatives: A little bit undersized, but compensates with his knee bend and ability to sink his hips...Needs pass rush technique refinement, as he does a little too much grabbing and pulling...Can be redirected vs. the run by the larger blockers, lacking the leg drive to sustain position...Has had knee problems in the past...Has to improve his leverage, as he tends to play at a high pad level...While he uses his hands well to avoid the cut block, he needs to be more effective using them to shed...Has good strength, but seems to struggle keeping position at the point of attack (has problems with plays directed right at him).

Career Notes

One of the most disruptive defensive linemen in college football...Immediately established himself in 2001 as a force to be reckoned with at defensive end, enrolling at Miami in after transferring from Hinds (Miss.) Junior College...Rejoined former Hinds teammate Jerome McDougle on the line at Miami...Exhibits startling speed and strength, giving him the ability to track down fleeing running backs from behind...Recorded 68 tackles (33 solos) with eight sacks for minus 58 yards, 14 stops for losses of 68 yards, 38 quarterback pressures, three fumble recoveries, five forced fumbles and six pass deflections in 19 games with the Hurricanes.

 

[TONE DOG THE 01]

I like how we put this shit together today. Not the greatest of picks but we stuck to the plan and picked up guys that play key positions that we need depth in! No WR on the first day but that doesnt mean you wont see some action by the Niners after June 1st in free agancy! Plus I like what our 4 WR set looks like right now!

WR Depth

1- Terrel Owens
2- Tai Streets
3- Cedrick Wilson (short but quick and got excellent hands)
4- James Jordon!!! (on the rise expect big things)

Got That WR

Brandon Lloyd
SELECTED BY SAN FRANCISCO , ROUND 4, PICK 27, OVERALL PICK 124
WR | (6-0, 184, 4.61) | ILLINOIS
By Pro Football Weekly

Notes: Fourth-year junior who gave up his final year of eligibility to enter the draft. College high-jumper and high-hurdler who has placed in the Big Ten meet in both the long jump and 60-meter high hurdles in the past (third as a freshman in spring 2000). Started seven-of-12 games as a true freshman in 1999, catching 30 passes for 511 yards and two touchdowns, and returning 11 kickoffs for 194 yards and five punts for 65 yards. Redshirted in 2000 after breaking his left leg in a freakish accident where he caught his foot between the curb and a parking block. Came back in '01 to catch 60-1,006-8 during the regular season and 5-56-2 in the Sugar Bowl. Caught 65-1,010-9 in '02. Was named Second-Team All-Big Ten by the Associated Press.

Positives: Excellent athlete who is learning to shorten stride and get into and out of breaks better. More quick than fast but wants to be a go-to guy. Body control is phenomenal. Has very good hands and is an all-around playmaker. Makes the acrobatic catch and can really sky for the ball. Consistent. Catches nearly everything thrown his way. Great natural athlete who works hard.

Negatives: Not a burner but can get downfield. Will still take long strides and needs route refinement. Doesn't always accelerate after the catch and has trouble breaking tackles. Needs to improve overall strength. Arrogance rubs some people the wrong way.

Summary: Did not show the speed at the Combine to warrant a first-round pick, but Lloyd has the talent to be a steady No. 2 receiver in the NFL who would be best-suited opposite a burner.

 

[Smitty]

Another TE

I think the niners draft a TE every year lol.


Aaron Walker
SELECTED BY SAN FRANCISCO , ROUND 5, PICK 26, OVERALL PICK 161
TE | (6-5, 252, 4.73) | FLORIDA
By Pro Football Weekly

Notes: Outstanding high school football and baseball player who also lettered in basketball. Played designated hitter for the Florida baseball team in the past. Pittsburgh Pirates told Walker he would be a second-round pick in the amateur draft, but he chose to hit linebackers instead of curve balls. In football, played 10 games as a redshirt freshman in 1999, catching one pass for 13 yards. Played in every game in 2000 and '01, starting seven games in '00 and catching 12-148 with two touchdowns. Started nine games in '01 with 16-179-2. Started every game in '02 and snatched 25-365-3. Used strong showings at the Senior Bowl and Scouting Combine to greatly improve his stock.

Positives: Big target who knows how to use his size. Runs well and can stretch the defense. Generally catches the ball well and seems to have soft, natural hands. Has been durable. Generally is a willing blocker who is not bad at sticking to his man.

Negatives: Lacks the body build and base for power blocking, with a narrower lower body and without a big butt. Does not have the leverage necessary to drive a big man off the line. Despite generally catching the ball well, had three untimely drops against Florida State at the end of the season. Does not do a lot after the catch. Not very aggressive.

Summary: One of the better tight ends in the draft but not a special player, he will likely be a flex-type guy because he is big and rangy, but can in-line block.

 

[Smitty]

One more WR

Arnaz Battle
SELECTED BY SAN FRANCISCO , ROUND 6, PICK 24, OVERALL PICK 197
WR | (6-0, 217, 4.65) | NOTRE DAME
By Pro Football Weekly

Notes: Backup quarterback in 1998 and '99. Started the first two games at quarterback in 2000 but suffered a broken wrist in the second game of the season vs. Nebraska and was granted an injury redshirt. Moved to wide receiver in '01 but broke his fibula in the second game. Came back to finish the year with five catches for 40 yards. Had 48-702 with five touchdowns as a senior. Had 10-101-0 vs. Pittsburgh, and showed good athleticism and some polish as a receiver at the Senior Bowl.

Positives: Has quick, natural hands and good feet. A good all-around athlete who could return kicks. Can run after the catch and is elusive. Works hard and has improved in several areas, including route-running and footwork. Can catch in traffic and displays some attention to detail in his routes.

Negatives: Has build of a running back more than a receiver. Still raw in terms of skills as a receiver. Doesn't get into his patterns as quickly as he could and shows an inconsistent burst to separate. Lacks home-run speed. Will round off some routes and needs more experience at the position.

Summary: Has the quickness and athleticism to develop into a No. 3 receiver but must work hard at it. Will probably get drafted late the second day for his versatility.

 

[TONE DOG THE 01]

Ha Ha Ken Dorsey in the 7th round....cant go wrong with that!

Ken Dorsey
SELECTED BY SAN FRANCISCO , ROUND 7, PICK 27, OVERALL PICK 241
QB | (6-4, 205, 5.1) | MIAMI (FLA.)
By Pro Football Weekly

Notes: Played in five games, including three starts, as a true freshman in 1999, when he completed 74-of-120 passes for 807 yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions, and convinced incumbent starter Kenny Kelly to become a full-time baseball player. All-Big East in 2000, when he hit on 188-322-2,737-25-5. In '01, was Big East co-Offensive Player of the Year (with Boston College RB William Green) and co-Rose Bowl MVP (with Nebraska WR Andre Johnson) and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. Completed 184-318-2,652-23-9 that season. From 1999 to 2001, had a 26-1 record as a starter and a 58-16 TD-interception ratio and only lost one more game in his college career. Was a Heisman finalist in '02, when he completed 194-350-3,073-26-10.

Positives: Is a great leader who has intangibles coming out of his pockets. Is training in Arizona and has put on more than 10 pounds since the Fiesta Bowl. True student of the game who sees the field well and stands in vs. the rush. Accurate but not super accurate. Does a terrific job of managing his team and handles pressure very well. Top football intelligence and awareness. Pure pocket passer.

Negatives: A Bernie Kosar/Steve Walsh-type quarterback who lacks a big arm, mobility and elusiveness. Really struggles to get enough on the ball and throw with accuracy when throwing on the run or outside the pocket. Benefited from being surrounded by great players. Does not throw a tight spiral and his ball will flutter at times. Worst games were when he faced a stiff rush at Washington in 2000 and terrible, windy weather at Boston College in '01, which again brought up his physical limitations. Also struggled in muck at the East-West Shrine Game and did not have a great week of practice. Really discouraged scouts with an erratic workout at the Scouting Combine, but was better in his on-campus workout, though it was in his own element.

Summary: Is like Walsh was in many respects: marginal physical skills and a weak arm. Although you cannot ignore the intangibles, leadership and winning reputation Dorsey has, the talent that surrounded him at Miami was a major factor in his success.

 

[TONE DOG THE 01]

Overall I thought the Niners did a good job in the draft! alot of potential in the late round picks! Now they just need to stay healthy and get some playing time under there belts! Expect big things!

 

[Smitty]

Last pick by the niners

Oh boy! Ken Dorsey! I don't care what anyone says. He's a proven winner and that's all that matters.

[Tony]

Looks like the 49ers chose some garbage players!

 

[T-Dubb]

Dorsey is weak, he is a good leader.........but he cant be a pro qb

he always had the top team to make him look better then he is, it showed in the championship game.......he does not do well when pressured

 

[Tony]

They drafted a 6'7 lineman in the first round that is weak. Why didn't they pick a WR or Cornerback in the first round?

 

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

That'z wut im sayin Tony! preferably a CB.

 

[Smitty]

Dorsey is weak, he is a good leader.........but he cant be a pro qb

he always had the top team to make him look better then he is, it showed in the championship game.......he does not do well when pressured

He's going to be a third or fourth stringer and learn for a few years, the way it should be done. Also, it means the niners can get rid of Cade McNown and his injured shoulder.

 

[TONE DOG THE 01]

The 1st round pick on an OT was an excellent move and we still got 2 real good WR in the later rounds! Ya'll must not keep track of college football! We need to beef up our O-Line and Kwame Harris is aguably the best Tackle in the Draft!
