The Good and Not So Good from Day 2 of the 49ers-Raiders Joint Practices

Henderson, NV -- Here's who stood out on Day 2 of the San Francisco 49ers' joint practices against the Las Vegas Raiders. Keep in mind, I ate a bagel and cream cheese before practice, so I wasn't fazed by the Raiders' horrible hospitality or offensive media access. I took it all in stride.

THE GOOD

1. DT Javon Kinlaw.

Won all his reps during 1-on-1 pass-rush drills, which is extremely impressive, because the first three seasons of his career, Kinlaw typically won none of his 1-on-1 reps. And that was when he was healthy enough to participate. He played three-technique defensive tackle, rushed against the starting left guard (Laken Tomlinson first, then Aaron Banks), and lost. Now during 1 on 1s, he's playing nose tackle, rushing against centers and making them look silly. Give credit to new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks for finding a creative new home for Kinlaw, who has improved as much as any player on the team this offseason.

2. DE Kerry Hyder.

The 49ers' most successful defensive end during 1 on 1s (Drake Jackson is injured and Nick Bosa still hasn't shown up to training camp). Hyder seems like the frontrunner to rush the edge opposite Bosa on third downs this season.

3. LB Oren Burks.

Nearly intercepted Jimmy Garoppolo's first pass attempt of 11-on-11 team drills. Burks seems like a favorite to start the season at Sam linebacker.

4. CB Samuel Womack.

Broke up a long deep pass in the back left corner of the end zone. Womack consistently has extremely tight coverage, but he doesn't always make a play on the ball. This time, he did.

5. TE Brayden Willis.

Got a rep with the 49ers' first-string offense and caught a 20-yard pass over the middle from Brock Purdy. Rookie seventh-round picks rarely get reps with the starters, so Willis must be doing something right.

6. TE Cameron Latu.

Caught a touchdown pass from Trey Lance in the end zone during 7-on-7 team drills. Any time Latu doesn't drop the ball, I'm shocked.

THE NOT SO GOOD

1. The starting defense.

It let the Raiders offense drive down the field and score touchdowns repeatedly. And it didn't matter who the Raiders quarterback was -- Jimmy Garoppolo or Brian Hoyer --- the 49ers couldn't stop them. And sure, Nick Bosa isn't here and the 49ers have a new defensive coordinator, but they're supposed to have the league's best defense. It didn't look elite today.

2. DE Robert Beal Jr.

The 49ers' fifth-round pick still hasn't taken a rep during 1 on 1s this season due to injury. Today, he was suited up for practice, but stood and watched during 1 on 1s. Disappointing.

3. HC Kyle Shanahan.

Called a quarterback draw Brock Purdy, which is a good call during practice when no one can touch the quarterback. I can't wait to see Shanahan call that run between the tackles for Purdy during a real game just a season after getting Trey Lance's ankle broken running him between the tackles against the Seahawks.
