Chris Clark, who is a good football mind, although boring to listen to, made a very good point in saying that he didn't think the Worthy pick was a reach from the sense that only 20 something players in the draft were true 1st rounders. But Worthy was a consensus 2nd rounder, top 10 in that round. He really likes the pick and he is normally very critical and logical with a lot of his takes.
And later listening to Andy's presser, it seems the niners were aiming to pick him at 31 so he felt Veach needed to make that jump. Then, Lynch panicked and drafted Pearsall instead.
If healthy, this kid can produce. He is obviously more talented than Hardman and seems intelligent to add to his athleticism.
But the thin frame is a big question mark.
