I think Icky is the best possible player for us to draft. He’s good enough in pass protection. But Darnold is gonna be turning around and handing the ball off a good bit to the backs and Icky is elite at run blocking. 
 

When the Niners use Trent Williams to pull….it’s unstoppable. That’s what we’d get in Icky.

I think that it's possible he goes 1 overall due to just that.

Jax is gonna want to run the ball to take some pressure off of Trevor...Icky could certainly be the pick for them.

I'm a UNC fan but man it would be AWESOME if we drafted a guy who is from Charlotte and then went to college in NC and he became a stud at LT, would be such a great story. Rooting for this kid no matter what honestly

wow this guy is a fuging genius

This thread was started early October, I was super-stoked about him even back then.

I warmed up during the process. Neal was 1, Ickey 1b. Hard to get upset. 

I did see his game vs JJII, I thought JJ won. That needs to be posted on the main board but wait cause its only good vibes.

I am fuging geeking still

This OL has a lot of potential, and if we're moving towards a power run game then we couldn't have picked a better prospect. I hope that McAdoo gets Tremble involved more to take advantage of the power run game.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
