Some interesting comps by NFL coaches for Iowa's Cooper DeJean. “This is the best DB in the class. He has the rare ability to be a nickel one year, a safety the next and a corner the next. He’ll be a great chess piece... " theathletic.com/5431528/2024/0…theathletic.com/5431528/2024/0…
Acceptable excuses for missing draft crush:
* Have been on international space station
* In a coma
* Car went over guardrail and I've been in a ravine living off of grubs and puddle water

49ers draft-week signals: They probably aren't taking a tackle in the 1st round, they might trade out and things are very much up in the air with Brandon Aiyuk.

John Lynch has received calls, but he ‘wouldn’t anticipate’ trading Brandon Aiyuk (and other notes from #49ers' pre-draft presser ...)
theathletic.com/5437119/2024/0…
Since the NFL expanded to 32 teams in 2002, the 49ers have used a first-round pick in the 30s four times:
* 2004: WR Rashaun Woods (31)
* 2012: WR A.J. Jenkins (30)
* 2014: DB Jimmie Ward (30)
* 2017: LB Reuben Foster (31)
Band name: Jimmie and the Disappointments
At his pre-draft presser, John Lynch tries to head off Brandon Aiyuk questions. He reiterates that he wants Aiyuk back, says "we're having good talks and we'll leave it at that." Says Aiyuk has not been to the facility since the offseason program began.

That Luke McCaffrey had nearly 1,000 receiving yards in '23 and yet still might only be at mid-ascent at his new position makes him one of the draft's most intriguing prospects
On what the youngest McCaffrey son has been doing to accelerate his growth...

McCaffrey did not have a site visit with the 49ers (though they have someone on site who knows him real well).
He did visit:
* Texans
* Broncos
* Steelers

A quarterback who switches to receiver midway through college? Anquan Boldin knows a thing or two about the maneuver.
