San Francisco 49ers Use Second 7th Round Pick To Select OT Mike Person In 2011 NFL Draft

in NFL Draft
Email
PrintThe 49ers have now used their second 7th round pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, as they selected offensive tackle MIchael Person out of Montana State. I have to admit, I'm surprised they went with multiple offensive lineman because I thought there were other areas of significant concern. This now leaves the 49ers with one remaining pick to consider everything from defensive line to quarterback to kicker to another cornerback or pass rusher.
As expected there is not a lot about Michael Person in terms of scouting reports, but Scouts Inc did have a breakdown of his abilities, so that's a plus. As to his pass protection skills:
Can absorb and reset when defenders try to drive him back. Lacks lateral quickness to consistently beat NFL edge rushers to the corner. Can overset to the outside and not fluid enough to recover when defensive end shoots inside. Leans and can get knocked off balance Not aggressive enough and makes it too easy for defenders to get their hands up in passing windows. Inconsistent hand placement and liable to getting flagged for holding unless/until technique improves.
As to his run blocking skills:
Quick enough to get into sound position as a drive blocker. Plays with a wide base and can sustain but doesn't generate enough push. Plays too high and doesn't always drive legs once locked on. Not a great athlete but takes sound angles to second level blocks and flashes the ability to cover up linebackers at the second level. Struggled to get and keep helmet on play side of the defender as a zone blocker.
So I guess he competes with Alex Boone in that swing-man role? The team had Barry Sims in that role but he is an aging free agent. The team had Boone on the 53-man last season but he had little opportunity to show what he could do. I guess I'm just a little curious what the team is planning with this pick. I can't say I hate it or like it though because honestly, it's a seventh round pick and maybe they see some big upside in him. Who knows.
Fooch's Update: Apparently he may play guard.

The first time I've ever watched an entire draft...
And after this draft, it’ll probably be my last!!!
I've watched a couple
This one was definitely the most EH…
I REALLY enjoyed last year, loved our picks. This year I’m having to talk myself into them and not doing a great job.
Exactly how I feel!
I watched a big majority of last year’s draft, and liked all-almost all picks. This year, haven’t been thrilled about any of them. Except for the Hunter to Gore comparison pick!
Hunter is a little more like MJD, IMO
Gore is really something else of a RB…

I just don't see him run like Gore, you know?
He picks up like 5 or 6 yards at a time.
Frank Gore picks up like 3, 2, 5, then 27, 30 yards.
Where I see Gore explode through a hole for 15+ yards, Hunter gets dropped for 5.

Again...
I don’t get it. Why pick an DE to conver to FB, a FS to convert to CB, and a Tackle to convert to C, and a Guard to convert to Center? I don’t get it…
Just pick a guy at his spot. We aren’t going to reinvent the wheel with a rookie head coach. Harbaugh is getting a little ahead of himself. Biting off more than he should.
He has his ear for sure
If you think they didn’t talk you are crazy. I’m sure Baalke said, hey I like this guy, what can you do with him? Uh, what is he, a Tackle? I’ll make him a Guard. I can turn water into wine.
Did I say that?
I said, “Baalke… has the trigger.” Duh, of course they are conferring, but Baalke is the chooser.

LONG draft.
I’ve been scratching my head after every pick.
I get it, I’m not a scout, I don’t know as much as a professional organization, but MAN this has been a weird one.
I don’t know if Baalke has built up the reputation to be pulling this kind of shit, trusting his eyes to change every player we pick.
some of them you have a point, but most 3-4 OLBs were former DEs and we Kapernick is a QB
by Andrew9erfan on Apr 30, 2011 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions
I know some are expected
but just a LOT of changing. I’m sure there were better guys that actually played that position in the draft than we grabbed.
It’s a little overzealous for a ROOKIE coaching staff. I think they are in for a rude awakening trying to manage everything.
Maybe he liked those guys better than the actual Centers of FBs?
I mean, I don’t know…
Seems kind of dumb, I know….but I’ll give them a year.
If it fails and they keep doing it anyway in the future, then I’ll be pissed.

Harbaugh and Baalke both know they're not ready to compete for the SB.
And Harbaugh knows he’s got a couple of years given to him. Obviously it’s a boom or bust strategy, and I don’t know how much say Harbaugh has in these picks besides when taking a QB, so it’s tough to judge.
Not really
tackles, guards and centers are somewhat interchangeable. Especially, at this point in the draft.

If that's a serious question
you do it because that’s where you think the value is. Maybe they didn’t like any of the other FB on the board but they thought “hey, this DE, he’d make a pretty good FB, and at that position he’s more valuable than anyone else out there.”
Also, we’re making too much of converting a T to G, or a G to C. Sure, they’re different positions, but those switches happen all the time when a guy moves from college to the pros.

which means that all rookies will be too raw to play when the season rolls around
so you might as well take projects because they’re all going to be sitting on the bench this year unless they truly were polished, ready for the pros guys, but all those guys pretty much go in rounds 1-2.

How long do you think he has to see if it will work out? You want to extend a guy in year 3 becasue he is finally figuring out what’s expected of him at a position he has never played before?
plenty of time to re-up them if they turn out
If they haven’t shown anything after a certain point, you can move on. But these coaches will see them every day in practice and know who’s worth keeping.

There’s some head scratchers, no doubt, but I don’t know how much say Harbaugh has in the picks aside from QBs. I don’t think either him or Baalke believe this team is a contender yet, Harbaugh himself has said it’s essential you have a top-flight QB, which the 49ers don’t have. Given that we’re not ready to compete at a high level, I’m willing to wait and see how Harbaugh develops guys he had a say in drafting.
All in all, a pretty good haul.
Just have to get them coached up. Hope this lockout mess gets taken care of soon.

Honestly
Compared to last year’s roster, we didn’t get ANY day 1 starters. A. Smith will probably end up starting and maybe one of the OC depending on FA, but that’s all!
That's actually a good point
Best point I’ve seen you make all day.
Of course, last year’s team was incredibly weak at the OL and it was easy to just plug in the two 1st rounders.

Thanks for the kudos.
I agree about last year, but drafting two OL was a pretty rash move, too, even with such a big need at RT. We got lucky with Iupati, because if we hadn’t picked him we’d have been in trouble since Heitmann got hurt forcing Baas to move to C.
We’ll see how things go, but right now I’m disappointed with this draft.
I'm not excited either

Well of course.
But we didn’t get better at any position (except QB because all we have is Carr) compared to last year, which is pretty sad.
they reached for sure
When you go right down the list of needs with draft picks, it’s reaching. It doesn’t always line up that easily. There were better values but we kept jumping up for guys nobody had heard of.
I just don't like us
using a 4th round pick, to trade down for a 6th and 7th, then using said 6th and 7th to trade back into 5th round. Seemed like we gave a lot of ground this draft, just to blow picks trying to get back up soon thereafter.
always a good laugh when a causal fan
thinks they have the jump on a team of scouts and football decision makers.

He told me I’d have to put on some weight before camp opens. But I’m willing to play wherever the Niners want me to play."

Is he another 4.3 40 guy?
Not criticizing.
Just curious.

Oh nooo!!!
Why pick him when there so many other great players available who has been passed over by every single team in the league a total of 250 times??? Those other players were soooo good I saw them in a mock draft on the internet!!!

Sigh.
Very, very disappointed with this 7th round.

Are you on Twitter?
There’s a guy on there that covers only non Div I prospects.
Talk to him about how much you dislike small school prospects…

great players can come from small schools
I'm in business of giving the business and business is booming!
Yeah, I know
I said before, I prefer great small schoolers to average DIV I guys

I was Iupati's #1 cheerleader last year
And I like JPP
I am well aware. But the guys we drafted from small schools… They are not those guys.
Gimme 1 round!

1
But took one last year Adams nothing to lose at this point
I'm in business of giving the business and business is booming!
i'm actually surprised by what some might say baalke's 'nervousness'...
dealing out a 6th and a 7th to move up to take kilgore seems strange… i thought
deunta williams
mark herzlich
jeff maehl
terrence tolliver
kendric burney (maybe)
would all add some sort of value with the picks we had….then again,there’s been some wild things go on in this draft…..
I would have liked Toliver
But he really is very slow.

Another CB
I think that’s understandable. I guess the point of late rounders is to pick them and hope they turn out okay.
Okay Mr. Irrelevant
He needs to hear his name called!

He was hurt too?
Too many injured players!

Kevin Mitchell has a black belt in keeping it real.
So according to many on here
we drafted injury prone, division II, space monkeys!!! That would sum it up right?

I wouldn't say that
Just a LOT of projects. Lot’s of raw players. Coaches have their work cut out for them, in a year we may not have an offseason. I think they are being a little overzealous.
Too early to tell, IMO.
But, yeah, what you said is probably an understatement for most people’s rage. All the love Baalke built up by getting Harbaugh is probably out the reactionary window, lol.

Never heard of space monkey . but this is a good band ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
So?
Is he another fast, injured defensive back?

Really hard to criticize these picks
Or praise them either.
The simple fact is that these guys are unknown and we don’t know how good they are, nor have we ever looked at them to see if they are diamonds in the rough
Harbaugh can turn any QB into a great one. He's a QB guru, even if he's only been a head coach at the college ranks.
Holcomb added
that he didn’t think his two broken arms would hinder his development in camp. “I’m confident I can make the switch from defensive back to nose tackle. My mom can feed me until the casts come off,” he said.
but then I have a reading problem...
by Bob In Beaverton on Apr 30, 2011 4:25 PM PDT reply actions
Harbaugh likes to load up on the O-line in some run situations.
They will probably have 10-11 on the active roster.
