Kaelon Black - San Francisco 49ers

[Home Jersey]

How ever it shakes out at the next level for all our guys, hopefully they play at least 3 games in 3 different seasons. That's what they need to get on the NFL pension plan.

Your scout is realism and everyone else’s is…what exactly?

It’s true: The scout of media talking heads had Kaelon as a sixth rounder.

But the scout of NFL teams, none of who want to pop for a player they can wait for? We have no definitive answer, but the perennial winning SF 49ers clearly thought that if they waited he wouldn’t have been there for them in the 4th round. THAT is the actual and only evidence.

That, and film.

Well, there’s also the actual team evidence of player interviews that revealed a stellar attitude and work habits.

Oh, and a 4.45 time in the 40.

And a 415 bench.

And a 500 squat.

So those things.

But other than that,

At this stage in the draft, they all basically have the same skill sets -- size, speed, etc.  The difference is mindset, work ethic, and attitude.  I'll take Black, Saratt, et. al. over some of these other clowns every day of the week.
