He does make a good point however regarding the 49ers ahead of us. Anyone who thinks we will easily trade away our 1st to move down to nab an extra pick easily needs to realize the 9ers are in a much better position to do so. [Reply]

Plus, his 40 time was a horrific 5.07.
Maybe a team is desperate and might take him in the 1st but man, he looks like a 4th to 5th rounder with those numbers.
Iowa intentionally does not emphasize the bench press and uses other strength categories. The OT prospect Wirfs did not impress on the bench press either, but had one of the best combines overall.
I'm biased, but he will be a steal at the end of the first round. He is a hybrid DE/DT that can outmatch interior linemen. [Reply]

He’s definitely a gamer, and he will fall in the draft, but we don’t really have any needs on the DL. Especially if they do like they should and keep Jones and Pennell.

He’s not good at running the 40 either. I saw his horrible technique doing that. His 2nd foot wasn’t even off the ground when the clock was already at .41 :-)
He ran a 7.34 3 cone which is exceptional. His hand usage and burst is very good. He’s really good at using his speed.
AJ Epenesa's hands are stupid. His technique/strength/size combination is incredible, the reason why he should be considered the No. 2 edge defender in this class.pic.twitter.com/cqmbIdk2sZ
