With the 146th pick of the NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select Scott McKillop, ILB, Pittsburgh

by Fooch on Apr 26, 2009 11:38 AM PDT in Draft Comment 259 comments

Well, that certainly qualifies as a bit of a head scratcher, but I guess not surprising for a Mike Singletary team? With the 146th pick here in the 5th round, the San Francisco select Scott McKillop, inside linebacker from Pittsburgh. Here's a scouting report for the folks who (like me) don't know about Scott McKillop (from late January):

Strengths: An incredibly productive two-year starter who has the intelligence and savvy to make an NFL roster. Did well adjusting himself and teammates before the snap. Very intelligent football player who likes watching film and learning. Fundamentally sound player. By-the-book tackler. Good size. Was one of Pittsburgh’s team leaders. Does a nice job breaking up passes. Had 11 pass breakups over his final two seasons.

Weaknesses: McKillop will be overlooked because he’s not especially fast or athletic. Is too slow to get around the corner on a pass rush. Slow from time to time reacting to passes. Poor hands. Needs to get stronger in his lower body to handle bigger NFL running backs. Struggles at times shedding blockers.

Final word: What you see with McKillop is what you’ll get. He was a product middle linebacker for the Panthers who knows the fundamentals of the game. While he’s limited athletically, he makes up for it in determination and intelligence. Named a first-team all-conference member each of his two years starting.

After the jump I found a Pitt promo video on YouTube.

He does sound like a Singletary guy

by Mr. Nice Guy on Apr 26, 2009 11:38 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I like this pick for us.

As a WVU fan, I’ve had to deal with McKillop at Pitt for the last few years. He is a steller LB who will give us much needed depth. And if we stay in the 3-4, after Takeo leaves, he will be a good player to have lined up next to Willis.

I know some of you guys haven’t heard of him, but IMO, he’s a good pick up, especially in the 5th round. Not the most gifted athlete in the world, but is VERY tough and has a great football IQ. Definitely a Singletary type of player.

by Blank x2 on Apr 26, 2009 11:39 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

He sounds...

… like a player who could develop into a very solid TED. He’s supposedly a little weak at the point, but he sounds physical enough to where maybe he can be taught some technique to effective hold the point of attack for Willis. He definitely sounds like a smart enough player to do that.

seems like we are

drafting based on scheme/philosophy and not BPA.

Crabtree yes, but Coffee and now McKillop, they couldn’t be the BPA at the slots they were picked.

I’m not saying I’m absolutely mad, but I think Meredith would’ve been a great selection, hoping McKillop drops to next pick.

But if Scot is giving Mike guys that he wants, in terms of specific attributes, then I’m ok with the selections. I just hope they know something we don’t about Meredith.

by Andrew Davidson on Apr 26, 2009 11:43 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

You generally draft...

… on BPA in the early rounds (one and maybe two). In the later rounds, the players are so close together, especially in the fifth, that you can afford to draft for scheme and/or need.

by sfgfan on Apr 26, 2009 12:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don't like it

when you could have gotten Meredith to develop and gotten a gritty linebacker later in the 5th such as McKillop or OLB Follett.

With two firsts in next year's draft...

… it makes it a little less likely they’ll consider a QB. But I guess if they like Davis or whomever enough, it doesn’t hurt to bring in someone that can eventually back up whomever their next #1 is (or maybe even luck out and find a diamond in the rough).

Meredith

Just ran across this, and this note jumps out at me:

Weaknesses:
May be a bit of a ‘tweener…Needs to be more tough and physical…Not real stout at the point of attack…Mediocre initial punch…Doesn’t get a great push in the run game…Poor hand use…Not a finisher and lacks a killer instinct…Questionable awareness…Is not a fit for every scheme.

That’s a pretty good reason not to draft him I suppose.

You know I still don’t like it because of who they didn’t take but having a more hard nosed Ulbrich type with more ability could be good for this defense. We have all talked about needing someone that will embrace the role of second fiddle to Willis.

Millen v. McCloughan

In his time in Detroit Millen drove that franchise into the ground. McCloughan hasn’t gotten the 49ers to the playoffs but he (and Nolan in some regards) have gotten the team out of salary cap hell and added talented players. There have been some questionable picks and some bad picks, but I’m willing to give him a lot more benefit of the doubt than Millen.

I think McKillop’s summary over at www.draftcountdown.com is hilarious …

Strengths:
Adequate size … Great instincts and awareness … Good tackler … Decent range and moves well laterally … Is super tough … Competitive and intense … Has a terrific motor … Smart with an outstanding football IQ … A hard worker and team leader … Was extraordinarily productive.

Weaknesses:
Not a great athlete … Average speed … Needs to get stronger … Struggles when forced to take on and shed blockers … Lacks fluid hips … Takes some poor angles … Sub par hands and ball skills in coverage … Can be too aggressive at times … Is not a great pass rusher … Upside is limited.

Notes:
His brother Chris was a defensive lineman at Pitt from 2003-07 … A two-year starter who backed up current Washington Redskin H.B. Blades early in his college career … Twice named first team All-Big East and was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 … Was a tackling machine for the Panthers but just doesn’t have the physical tools you look for in the next level … Not nearly the pro prospect that his press clippings would lead you to believe but he has a chance to make it in the NFL with the right team due to his top-notch intangibles.

Is super tough … Competitive and intense … Has a terrific motor … Can be too aggressive at times … has a chance to make it in the NFL with the right team due to his top-notch intangibles …

ROFLOL – I don’t know why I’m starting to think this is so funny. Singletary’s personality is dominating this draft. You should almost be able to tell by little phrases in the scouting reports who the Niners are going to pick for this team now. Definately noticing a trend …

You’re also forgetting the 49ers would have to give him a contract that probably guarantees him at least $40M over six years or so. I don’t know about you, but a second, fourth, and $40M in guarantees is a lot to give up for a guy who will be learning a new position for the 49ers.

With Crabtree on board, this team is looking at likely having to cut a WR that’s already on the roster. No reason to pick any more of them.

by TheBigLeburnski on Apr 26, 2009 12:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

You have to remember...

… that most of the talent in (probably) rounds four through seven are pretty interchangeable. One team may have a guy rated as a fourth while another team has him as a sixth and another has him as a UDFA. Part of what makes them late picks is lack of physical ability, but also what makes players late round picks are that they contain a more uncertainty in terms of how they’ll transition.

Scouts may be very good at rating first and second round talents. However, once you get to the third, you have to start taking scouts, draft “gurus” and other rankings with a serious grain of salt.

Scout.com says about Nate Davis

“Davis is a smooth, intelligent pocket passer who has a great feel for the game. He sets up quickly in the pocket, shows poise and delivers a strong, accurate ball to his receivers. He has the ability to escape the pocket and make plays on the run; buys time for his receivers. He possesses excellent vision and displays great touch leading receivers downfield and over the middle. – Chris Steuber, Scout.com”

Big Arm

Says Davis won the distance throw in college football last year with a throw of 69 yards in the air. Flacco set the record the year before with a throw of 74 yards. Boom.

Kiper

just called McKillop the best pick of the 5th round on ESPN. Pretty much that means he won’t even make the team right?

Nate Davis

Okay, Nate Davis is ours now. Al Davis loves speed. You love how far a guy can throw. Great. Forget that he comes from a small schoolaand has a learning disability. Plus, we already have a QB, and back up QB that was a first round pick, and a veteran QB. Plus of course next year you’re all sold that we should pick ANOTHER QB. We’d almost be like Tampa at that point except for the fact that Hill is actually decent but no one wants to believe that.

Scotty Mac should be fired right after this draft. STILL no pass rush. We could have taken the top FB on the board in round 5. A good young safety in round 3. The RB pick was mediocre. He just really stinks.
