Rumor is he was the strongest player on the entire team.

Cave was the strongest player on the team. He is not the most athletic of linemen. Last year ended early due to foot injury. His level of play was higher before the foot injury than an at any point this season. He is an interesting late round prospect. He can also play guard.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
wow he is listed at 6'3 303 lbs, but it appears to be very good weight, and he looks bigger than that. Looks like a gym monkey to me.

I think he'd certainly provide a different look from the slot position, though I'm not sure he'd make it as an everydown, outside receiver.
I'm warming to the idea of a short extension(3 years) of Boldin to reduce his cap number and keep him around.
He's probably not going to be a number 1 receiver but on a team with Torrey and Boldin he can essentially be Wes Welker on steroids; he's got all the quickness underneath that is impossible for LB's to cover and he also has the straight line speed that Welker doesn't have to get deep. I'd love to add him as a 3rd WR.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
In terms of WR in the Senior Bowl practice today, the two guys who stand out are Quinton Patton and Tavares King. King in particular is tall and would fit the deep-ball offense. He is running very crisp routes for a tall guy and creating separation.
Quinton Patton is an all-around solid receiver. He fights the press, has good hands, and is solid all the way around. I would like either of these guys drafted, if Boldin is cut.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Lane Johnson is rising quickly as a LT prospect. Everyone is projecting him as a true LT because of his height and arm length. He's a guy who might shoot past us at 32 but if he drops he's a good bet to get picked by us.
He's improved every single game he played in college at OU.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Remove my previous post about aboushi, he looks out of place at LT.
Lane Johnson however looks like a player.

Lane Johnson is going to be a top 20 pick...no doubt about it. Matthews and the kid from Michigan staying in school totally killed any chance of him or Fisher dropping to us (Along with us going to the Super Bowl and it's resulting low draft position :beavisnbutthead2:)

Aboushi struggling is bad news for us.

I was hoping hed show some kind of base so he could be had later but still be a viable option with some coaching his feet are bad his bend isnt good and he doesnt seem strong. Mayock saying hes a G but i think hell need work even for that.
I liked lane johnson a lot, but im assuming hes going to be much higher than 32.

Didn't like him vs. Purdue, but I'm okay with C/G guys. They are invaulable IMO...assuming the draft value fits.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Sounds like Cave had a really bad Monday.
