49ersfan831 started a thread entitled "49ers MOCK DRAFT the future. In it, a reference to walter’s mock was made by Ivang101, later clarified by hellaninersfan and Ivang101, that it "gave" us Jared Veldheer as an OT in rd 2. I was strongly impressed by his performance at the combine, and had done a little research at that time into those results. Thinking that many may be unfamiliar with him, I decided to post those results to that thread. I am reproducing that post here, for those who have not seen it yet: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- re Veldheer First off, he’s huge (6-8,312). He had a GREAT combine: one of only 2 or 3 o-lineman, out of about 45, who competed in every challenge, tied for best result in both the 3-cone and the 20 yard shuttle, tied for 3rd best in the vertical jump, was 4th in the 40 (5.09), #5 in the broad jump, and #10 in the bench press (32 reps @ 225 lbs—this was his worst result yet was still in the top quartile). And, if memory serves, we had a pretty fair country guard from Hillsdale "back in the day" named Howard Mudd, who went to a couple of pro bowls for us. I haven’t seen any tape on Veldheer, and being from a small school with questionable competition, he’s a project who probably can’t start immediately, but he definitely intrigues me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a bit insomniactic tonight, I was surfing and perusing some posts here. I ran across "49ers MOCK DRAFT fixed up", also started by 49ersfan831, in which he was touting LeRoy Vann as a return man. I went to youtube to watch some video of him, and while there ran across this: Jared Veldheer cleans 425 lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZUoHh8gupE Thought that this clip might be of interest to many of you. He's my pick for this draft's ultimate sleeper, though with WalterFootball putting him in the 2nd round, I guess the cat's out of the bag....
