Info on the SF 49ers pick

A.J. Terrell CB
CLEMSON • JR • 6'1" / 195 LB

4.42 40 Yd Dash

Terrell is hoping to be the ninth corner drafted from Clemson since 2010, ranking among the top programs in the country. It is no surprise Terrell has thrived with the Tigers, as he was a five-star recruit and top-15 overall prospect after excelling for Atlanta's Westlake High School. He played a role as a key reserve on Clemson's defense as a true freshman, posting 15 tackles, intercepting one pass, and breaking up seven others. Stepping into a starting spot for all 15 games of the team's 2018 national championship season, Terrell earned third-team All-ACC honors (54 tackles, two for loss, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles). His biggest play of the year was his third and final interception, which he returned 44 yards for a touchdown against Alabama in the title game. Terrell finished his career as a first-team all-conference player for the FBS runners-up, starting all 15 games and recording 37 stops, two interceptions, and six pass breakups.

Overview
Long, press-man cornerback with thin lowers, but good overall size. Terrell has the foot agility and patience to pedal and mirror the release or jab and ride on it aggressively. He's an above-average athlete with quick burst to close out space in tight quarters, but he's not a classic click-and-close talent from off-man and issues with balance prevent sudden stops to shadow at the top of the route. The size and ability to hound 50/50 balls deserve recognition, but he lacks ballhawking traits, which could cap him as an average future starter.
Strengths

• Played in high-leverage matchups in the postseason
• Has ability to grind on receivers from press
• Punches inside shoulder and leverages release outside
• Backpedal is low and steady
• Adequate foot agility to mirror
• Patient allowing release to develop before declaring hips
• Maintains feel in early stages of the route and is quick to crowd the receiver
• Hip flip from pedal is twitchy and relatively clean
• Reads quarterback's eyes from Cover 3 shuffle
• Plays into receivers in tight quarters, disrupting catch timing
• Springy jump-ball challenger with plus body control and soft hands

Weaknesses

• Took on water in National Championship Game against LSU
• Could face concerns about handling jump in competition
• Leggy, with thin lower half and high center of gravity
• Struggles to gather and remain in phase with comebacks
• Pops up tall and false-steps driving downhill from top of his pedal
• Angles to the catch-point need to become more aggressive
• Loses focus from Cover 3 shuffle, allowing receivers to get behind
• Recovery speed appears to be very average
• Needs to fill and support run with better consistency
• Takes angles of an arm tackler

Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia

This is a big mean dude, standing at 6'6, 350lbs with 35 1/2 arms. Will be the RT of the future to pair with Jonah Williams and could be used as a guard till he's ready. Upgrading the line and protecting Burrow is priority #1

With Pick 36 of the 2020 ROD Mock Draft the New York Football Giants select ...

Austin Jackson OT USC

NFL teams are always looking for dependable left tackles who can help keep their quarterback healthy given the importance of the passing game. It can be very difficult to find left tackles with Jackson's natural size, speed and athleticism, so he is an intriguing prospect for the next level.

There are a lot of natural strengths to Jackson. He has very quick feet and innate athleticism that allow him to get depth in his drop and neutralize speed rushers. He should be an asset to take on the fast edge rushers, because he can get off the corner and prevent them from running the loop around the edge. With his quick feet and an ability to bend at the knee, Jackson doesn't have to reach after rushers and is not a waist bender. He is light on his feet and does a nice job of mirroring defenders around the corner to keep them from putting heat on the quarterback. There are occasions that Jackson allows speed rushers to get upfield from setting up too far to the outside or inside. Thus, he will need to work on that. For the NFL, Jackson could be very valuable to protect his quarterback against fast edge rushers.

There are a lot of raw elements of Jackson's game for him to improve, including his hand placement, his setup, and his balance. At times in 2019, he would get away with some mistakes because he is so athletic and can compensate for errors, but in the NFL, it will be harder for him to get away with that. Proof of that was provided in the bowl game against Iowa's A.J. Epenesa. Jackson could have issues in the NFL with powerful edge rushers, so he has to get better at sustaining his blocks and maintaining a hold on defenders. Strong bull rushers could give him problems, and that is a point of emphasis for his improvement at the pro level.

In the ground game, Jackson fires out of his stance to engage edge rushers. He is quick to the second level and is able to pull well to hit blocks to the inside. If Jackson adds strength, it would make him a better run blocker by letting him pack more punch at the point of attack.

Team sources say Jackson is a good kid who will interview well in the leadup to the 2020 NFL Draft plus will work out well because of his excellent skill set. Earlier in 2019, Jackson took a leave from the Trojans in order to donate bone marrow to his younger sister, and he played well upon coming back to the team.

For the NFL, Jackson looks like a future starting left tackle, and he could develop into a Pro Bowler if he can get stronger and refine his technique. If he adds strength to be able to anchor and get better as a run blocker, he could be a special player. Still, Jackson is adept at blocking on the edge and matching up against speed rushers. Thus, he should be an asset for protecting a franchise quarterback and would be a good fit in a passing offense that throws the ball a lot.

In speaking to some team sources, they believe Jackson will be a first-round pick with the potential to be a riser throughout the draft process. Some other team evaluators say they graded Jackson as a late first-round/early second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.


Player Comparison: D.J. Humphries. Jackson's skill set, including a rare combination of size, quickness and athleticism reminds me of Humphries coming out of Florida. Humphries (6-5, 307) also needed to get stronger for the NFL, and while it took some time, he hass turned into a solid pro. In the NFL, I think Jackson will be a better version of Humphries if he lands with quality coaching.
