So from the presser it sounds like Harbs had a guy that he really wanted the whole way through:

this year it was Ben Cleveland

although i find it funny that the last 2 years, the guy Harbs has wanted had the nickname Big Country (after Tyre last year and Ben this year)

sounds like cleveland's a guy harbs has wanted for a couple of months and that's why they were all so happy when he was still there at 94

He also wanted duvernay really badly

in 2019 wink wanted Ferguson

It’s early for Phillips and duvernay, and Cleveland could end up a really good G for us, but I think it’s about time Eric tells the coaches stfu on draft day if this one doesn’t pan out lol

Ya im gonna have a grand ole time watching this guy pancake SEC defenders.

just looked at his pro day numbers and only 30 reps is surprising but they said he seemed to run out of gas at the end. Did run a sub 5.0 40 tho..

He’s very long in the arms too, which is very taxing on your endurance when benching. Like it makes a massive difference. If he had 30 inch arms like a lot of the short and stocky guards he’d probably put up 50 with ease lol

he was happy we got duvernay because the guy before him was also called devin and he was pumped that the pats didnt take "our" guy

the guy he vouched for, that they drafted for him last year was Phillips

he doesnt have super long arms - 33 inches - but he's not short-armed like a lot of the interior guys

and apparently part of the reason he only hit 30 was because he wanted the record so started fast and ended up gassing himself

I saw 2 clips where they say he could play right tackle. Have you guys heard anything about that? He's got the height and arms length for sure but does he have the agility and foot work to play the position? That would mean Powers at RG, Bozeman at center and him at RT.... Don't know if FO have that in mind.

I doubt it. Has great size but does not have the feet or lateral agility. Decent at moving to the second level in the run game due to pure brute strength, but just not agile enough on the outside.

i dont think he's got the lateral agility to play tackle and survive in pass pro

It's bad enough for the rest of the division that we have one of the, if not THE, most potent rushing attacks in the league with our o-line this past season. Now we just added this guy, LMAOOOOO, 2019 running game.....here we come!

Saying no when Harbaugh wanted to trade up was a type of stfu
