2011 NFL Draft: San Francisco 49ers Select FB Bruce Miller
by David Fucillo on Apr 30, 2011 2:33 PM PDT
in NFL Draft
Email
PrintThe San Francisco 49ers have brought in a fullback to compete with (or replace) Moran Norris in the form of seventh round pick Bruce Miller. The 49ers have four 7th round picks in the 2011 NFL Draft, so it is not surprising to see a pick like this. Who knows whether he'll actually do enough to take the starting fullback job; after all he is a seventh round pick.
The folks at Big Cat Country put together this pros/cons scouting report
PROS: Very high motor player with good hustle. Great production in his 4-year career with over 30 sacks. Will be a versatile player that could fit as a situational pass rusher at defensive end or potentially a stand up linebacker in a 3-4. Does a lot of good pass rushing work with second effort. Smart player that knows his assignments and scrapes down the line of scrimmage well.
CONS: Doesn't have a true position in the NFL yet. Might not be explosive or strong enough to rush the passer with his hand on the ground. Overall speed may not be good enough to play full time stand up linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Needs to work on his pass rushing repertoire and can get engulfed in the running game.

Uhhhhh ... you know like ... four of them have been drafted, right?
And the talent gap from the third and fourth to now is almost non-existant?

*nevermind I see you meant in general, thought you meant by 49ers over the past few years
they could have drafted an NT at some point, they have no backup, they haven’t drafted one since switching to 3-4.

no the 49ers put him there because they have no one else

I don't think so
and if he could, he has a long way to go. Needs to get stronger and better in technique.
I agree
BUT I think he could be a great DE

Oh he's good
But due to the idiot Snyder giving Haynesworth the keys to Ft. Knox defensive lineman are insanely expensive to franchise.
Does anyone really think from the business end that Franklin is going to accept a crapton less than he would make than if we just had to tag him again? (assuming a tag is in place).
If we don’t he’s gone.
How did the Tag go up so quickly
Haynseworth was signed last year and Franklin’s tag didn’t cost 13. Or did it?

Combination of
Haynesworth’s cap number being almost 25 million and Seymour being designated as a DT despite getting DE franchise money.
Averages are pulled up quickly with small sample sizes and distant outliers.
How much is the Tag?
7 million for a Nose? He’s easily worth that

Franklin was the best 3-4 NT, the 3rd-best DT, and the 5th-best DL in the NFL with respect to stop rate against the run. Specifically, 93% of the Franklin’s tackles in the run game resulted in an inefficient (aka unsuccessful) gain for the opposing OFF.
So Franklin, who plays a position in which the purpose of life is to stop the run, is the most efficient run-stopper at that position, and he doesn’t go to the Pro Bowl? Even after they were down to 15th in the pecking order? Thankfully, as you’ll see shortly, this egregious omission was remedied via another Niner’s Pro-Bowl participation

"in the NFL with respect to stop rate against the run."
not , best in NFL in general.
That’s like saying the WR who had the most receptions, the position whose number 1 purpose is to catch the ball, is the best WR in football.

It is to hold a spot and to collapse the pocket
he does it well, but not the best in the NFL

by whistlingmountain on Apr 30, 2011 2:42 PM PDT up reply actions
He did it great, actually. Without him, Willis and Spikes don't look as great.
2009 he was third at worst in eating up space, and first in stopping the run. If you can find me a nose tackle who was first in space and second against the run, I will relent and admit that Franklin was not the best,

Dude,
are you seriously tryin to tell be Aubrayo wasn’t the best NT in the NFL in 2009? He was our best performer in 2009, ahead of P Will imo. He was absolutely outstanding. Clogged space, stuffed the run… Did everything.
I'm not saying Aubrayo wasn't the best NT
But your reasoning is messed up. Just because he was better than Willis in 2009 in your opinion, has nothing to do with how he rated vs. other NT.
I never said because he was better than willis he was the best NT
We’ve been discussing how he was the best NT in 2009 for like 20 comments beforehand.

Davis … hell yeah. I hope he sets the record.

so you’re talking about the difference between top 10% and top 50% which is a huge difference.
Except for the fact that I fight with people constantly about doing that. I do not have 49ers goggles. These are stats and you’re just trying to backpedal instead of, you know, admitting a mistake.

Football Outsiders
We were 5th against runs between the gaurds in YPA.
Chicago, Philly, Pittsburgh, Atlanta.
One of those teams runs a 3-4. I’d say Hampton and then Franklin. I’m not saying Franklin isn’t one of the best two or three NT’s in the game.
But I’m sorry I started all this.
I just wanted to say from a team building and salary cap perspective, all the other NT FA’s have been re-signed, and Franklin is the only option for anyone who still wants one.
I don’t think we can afford to give him the contract he wants and build a successful pass defense with what’s left.
Sure we can
Casey Hampton only got a 3 year deal at 21 million.
We can do that easily to sign Franklin for 3 years.
nose tackles last a long time too.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
SaberCats Examiner | SB Nation Bay Area | Niners Nation | Twitter
I wouldn't be worried about 3 yrs at 21 million
But with Franklin being the only available option, I’m worried that might go to 3 yrs at 33.
Lesser players get paid more all the time due to the way contracts leapfrog each other.
I can't imagine it being that high
given that neither Casey Hampton or Vince Wilfork got more than that. Wilfork’s deal was for $8 million per
Last year
It will be significantly higher unless there is absolutely no interest from other teams.
Franklin is much better than Wilfork. Not quite as good as Hampton who is very underrated, but close.
So even if we push it to an average of $9 million
Give him three years at $27 million with $15 million guaranteed.
Well let me put it this way...
If you’re a DE and you lead the league in Sacks… You’re generally considered the best DE in the league that year.
NT is the polar opposite of that position. If you’re the #1 run stopper in the league as a NT you’re the best NT in the league that year.

lol?
Franklin was easily the best NT in 2009 – did you watch the niners?
He was the biggest pro-bowl snub of that season
He was easily the best NT – stuffed the run superbly, with soap playin pretty average that season. Soap was a lot better last season when Aubrayo started badly
Unless you’re named Justin Smith or Richard Seymour

"I come up with something when I’ve got nothing, and it’s always brilliant. Always. So I reject your logic." -Grant
yep, and imo
Justin deserved to be in the pro-bowl for 3 years before that as you mentioned, but funnily enough, I felt Aubrayo was more deserving to go to the pro-bowl that Justin in 2009
that is credit to those two players for being so elite
also, smith gets sacks so gets more recognition
Justin Smith had been getting snubbed for a LONG time

I agree that I’m lashing out, but it’s hardly defensive, I don’t have personal stake in this guy. It’s just ridiculous, first people are saying Aldon is Lawson. Then Kaepernick is Smith. Then people said it was a negative that Aldon had to convert to OLB, which 95% of OLBs have to do. Now people aren’t aware that people convert linebackers into fullbacks.

my take on the OLB/DE thing is that if you can find an actual 3-4 OLB who’s NFL caliber, snap him up but they are few and far between
by Andrew9erfan on Apr 30, 2011 3:33 PM PDT up reply actions
That's because there's probably less than 10 schools
in all of NCAA (you could probably go DIV 1 and DIV 2 as well) that play 3-4.
just doesn’t happen. You want to assure yourself a draft spot as a LB or D-lineman? Go to a school that plays a 3-4
Von Miller
Is probably the only highly rated pass rusher to actually play OLB in college…
…but he’s going to play in a 4-3 now

Linebacker and Fullback
Are very similar positions. The players on most ironman teams who play fullback also play the mike. Centuries ago I did. =P
Just keep in mind...
Most of us are a bunch of amateurs who like to spout off anything and everything regardless of accuracy or context so if you legitimately know what you’re talking about most of the time you’re going to be frustrated dealing w/ the NN masses.

I think his issue and mine with the FB thing
Is could we have picked an actual FB? How about an actual CB? Just seems like we are trying to pick these guys and changing everyone. Getting a little ahead of ourselves I think. This year, with the possibility of losing OTA’s is not the year to try to change a guys position.
Solid point
I agree w/ that—this draft does have the coaching staff’s hand prints all over it. It’s like all the coaches were allowed to have a slot where they got to take a player they think they can ‘mold’ to fit their scheme. We’ll see how that works.

I know that this guy is also a FB, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to trade for Marecic. We know that Harbaugh loved him, why wouldn’t they want to get him?
Why would the Browns trade?

It would depend on what we would offer
I don’t know if it would be worth it for us, but it would not shock me for them to look into it. I wish that they would because Marecic was a beast at Stanford and would be good.
They're not trading him
No chance.
They would ask for a 3rd in 2012 probably (because future picks are worth very little)

CONS: He’s rubbish. He probably won’t ever start a game in the NFL. He’s so lame we can’t even be bothered to finish writing this scouting repo

miller, to my knowledge, hasnt played FB at the college level. That pick is all projection and hard to argue with in the 7th round.

I certainly like it for the cowboys in the 7th round to find out.

Spikes has been awesome for awhile. You could perhaps be concerned about his age, but I think he has another couple seasons of high level play left in him. Particularly if he’s playing beside Willis.

Hope we resign him. He definitely seems like he wants to be back, and Willis has already said that he wants him back alongside him. Just need this damn lockout mess to end.

I thought they were gonna move on to showing the '9ers picks...
I guess we can say we got a QB…….but we reached for everyone else, except for maybe Hunter!
Smith wouldn't have made it to 13.
If we had taken Prince nobody would say anything, and he fell way further than Smith would have. But most of them beside Smith, Kap, and Hunter are head scratchers.
After the 4th round you can't really call anything a serious reach
It’s all a crap shoot at that point. The draft boards for all the teams and prognosticators are so different that any type of consensus ranking is largely pointless.

Person
6 foot 5 inches, 299 LBs. First team all Big Sky.
Person earned First Team All-Big Sky Conference honors in 2010, starting all 12 games and helping lead MSU to a Big Sky Conference Championship and the FCS Playoffs.
A two-time All-Big Sky choice, Person graded out at 90% in 2010, and didn’t allow a sack. The Bobcats led the Big Sky in scoring offense, total offense, passing offense, and first downs.

maybe they don’t understand that just because drafting a 7th round talent in the 3rd round doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the reverse

err, was supposed to be drafting a 7th in the 3rd is a bad idea

Person is prospect from the FCS ranks with the intangibles, work-ethic and football smarts to become a backup offensive lineman. However, lacks the foot quickness and body control necessary to start or protect the blind side. While he did not allow a sack during his senior year and shows the ability to thwart the bull rush, should have problems dealing with speed rushers. Doesn’t play with great pad level or blow defenders off the ball but does a good job getting into position as a run blocker. Consistently recognized for his leadership and effort in college. Person could hear his named called late on Day 3.
sounds like OG or practice squad player
I'm in business of giving the business and business is booming!
BOLD PREDICTION
He beats Chilo in camp and starts day 1. Gives up 15 sacks on the season but is still better than Chilo
Gimme 1 round!

So 2011 is different from 2010 solely because of the coaching staff?
Because on the field, I don’t quite see any difference. We’re bringing Alex Smith back as well.
I feel hoodwinked. Harbaugh and Co. don’t add 6 wins to this team.

Cool don't bother going after someone who might actually made the team.

Starting to think last year's pick's had alot more to due with Scotty then Baalke ... Baalke does have the HMMMM factor ...!!

There goes Stanley Havili to the Eagles
Maybe best FB in the draft
The Chargers FB is about the same as Havili

Hester, and he's listed as 235, which is probably right.
Of course, it’s not out of the question Havili puts on some added weight, but at 227, his role is limited.
shit
what makes it worse it’s the perfect fit for him

Smarter than he looks. Needs to gain mass. But was a deparate need for a team with only 17 OGs. Great upside if he would only stop standing upside down.

Grinders
Sounds like the Niners are drafting a bunch of hardworking ‘grinder’ types from reading the descriptions of these players. Definitely jives w/ Harbaugh’s image. I hope they can play.

For taking Marecic in the 4th.
Remember that thread. Called it as a certain 4th round pick.
