Conner Heyward

Watching the Combine and Conner Heyward...If we would take him in say the 7th round and cut Watt...What would the cap implications be?

He's athletic, moves around like a hybrid but, would we not even use him like Watt?

 

LoL. I was actually pondering the same thing.

 

We would not use him

But then again minus Balt who does use a FB.... that being said. In not drafting him... but UDFAv bring him to camp

HACK

 

The 49ers use a FB, I think their FB is the highest paid in the NFL.

 

49ers use everything.
I think the equipment manager has a few plays designed for Him. LoL

 

I can see the value of a fb if you use him right, problem is we don't use him enough or even correctly to justify that salary.

 

Derek led the team in special teams tackles, that's his main role.

 

This is why I think Canada's offense will use a FB next year. Without Ben more plays under center with a FB.

 

Me 3 lol

He performed well.

 

I noticed he is listed as a TE. Is he too small to be a TE? Looks like most TEs are around 6'5"

With Ebron out the door they definitely need another TE, but does Heyward's 6'0" frame put him on the outside looking in for TEs?

 

I would be all for using a late round pick on Heyward. The kid is a football player. Play him at running back and he can be the next Fuamatu Mafala.

I am only halfway joking. I wouldn't mind having a bruiser dot the I as a backup to Najee.

 

I’m not sure he gets drafted....might be a udfa

 

The Dreaded H back title. LoL

 

He's 5'11" weighs 233 and is strong as a bull. He exploded into the blocking sled last night and drove it back much further than a lot of the TE's that were bigger than he is. Fullback is his natural position and he has good hands.

 

A poor man's Derek Watt?

Pickup Heyward, cut Watt, and save 4 million?

 

Cameron's brother? Hell yeah go get get him.
Probably not related but that was my first thought or James and Cameron were hanging out.

 

It's Cams Bro

 

Heyward is built more like his dad Iron Head than Cam.

 

Hmmmmmm...Right again...Disco knows Football

 

Right now I’m patting you on the back in cyberspace

I bet you feel all warm and fuzzy now

 

Is it worth his salary

 

Well I heard last year(by a lot in here)they didn't run plays with Him because Ben didn't want 2 run those plays.....So by that account I guess We should see a bunch this Year...No???

 

I just think, If Conner makes it...Watt is surely gone, They're not gonna keep him AND Watt

 

Too bad we're already paying $3mm a year to another fullback sibling we never use
