Limmer played more G in college than C.
I think most teams saw him as an undersized G and not a C, which is why I think he fell.

I was surprised he fell. If you watch his movement skills at the combine you can see how smooth he looked. Add his strength and he seemed like a sure 3rd round pick to me. He played center at Arkansas.

I wasn't familiar with him.
When he was drafted I was like, "ehh".
When I started watching film and digging into the pick he quickly became one of my favorite picks of the draft.
Steal.

Yes.
But, once scouts, player personnel folks form their opinion they are often married to it.

Same with fans, even more so with fans. There were scout that said Verse could only be a 4-3 end with his hand in the dirt. And some around here ran with it. Everybody makes mistakes.

We've all done it.
I certainly have.
When I don't like a pick or a FA signing, I do enjoy being proved wrong.

Fiske also looking like that move up was more than worth it and we can all celebrate that gamble paid off!
JACKPOT!!!!! The gruesome twosome work so well together and they have continued to grow together at the NFL level.
Also having Turner and Young, it's almost not fair!
Alright, this is a 49's thread. Purdy out and their season is over. The rat is aging before our eyes. He looks burned out and is on the hot seat.

Same here and when I'm wrong next it won't be last last time I'm wrong even today. I did have a very good draft though. Verse was my guy. Fiske was one of two DT I wanted in the second. I mocked Whittington, Limmer and Kinchens to us as well. But I was wrong on Bowers, still glad we got Verse instead but Bowers is a beast I just didn't want.
