Red Bryant Information

I thought that you guys would find this interesting. A fellow SB Nation blog, Niners Nation, is doing some NFL Draft work. Today's piece focuses on Red Bryant.

Here is a sample of what it says:

I've been looking over various options for the 49ers second round pick in the mock draft, and of course in real life, since that's what this is all about. During my research, Matt Miller over at Mocking The Draft said he's turned into a big time Red Bryant fan. Red Bryant was the nose tackle at Texas A&M this past year and Matt's convinced he could be one hell of a nose tackle for our 3-4 for the foreseeable future. I know there has been some discussion of Frank Okam, but I wanted to get people's thoughts on Bryant.

and

While I can see why people would like Bryant and how he could slot in at nose tackle, there seem to be a lot of questions marks. I have not watched nearly as much film as the scouts so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. While I don't know how recent the ESPN scouting report is, there are some similarities between it and New Era's report to make me think twice about some of those weaknesses. I'm pretty sure of who I'll grab with the second round pick, but I wonder if the 49ers feel the same way.

good find

it is nice to have one our players actually being talked about in the draft. I've heard that Bennett won't even go in the first 2 rounds. mistake leaving early?

I hate to say it,

but I don't think that is the question that MB will be asking himself if he isn't drafted in the first two rounds. I am afraid it will be more along the lines of: "Mistake to attend A&M?" Fran killed what was the most gifted TE recruit in the country.

I too have a scouting report on Bryant

I'm the Jacksonville Jaguars blogger for SB Nation.

You can check out my version here.

I think Red is an awesome prospect, so much in fact that if he was available in the late 2nd round, I'd be all in on the Jaguars taking him. He seems like the sort of DT that would make everyone else on the line better.

Not to mention stop the run like woah.
