Just when you thought things were going too well with Jimmy G and all the positivity, Reuben Foster was arrested for domestic violence, assault, and a weapons charge for allegedly possessing an assault rifle in Los Gatos over the weekend. Right. This makes the pot bust look like a puff of smoke. For a kid who dropped out of the top 5 of the draft board because of character and injury issues, it looks like he didn’t get the memo that this kind of stuff matters. Duh. Looks like the 49ers intend to hold on to their league leading 17 arrests since 2012.
John Lynch is instantly put under the microscope for signing the guy in the first place. He said they did their due diligence regarding Foster and he was assured that Foster wasn’t going to go off half-cocked so to speak, but the thing is, this is the latest of many infractions big and small. Foster failed (diluted) a drug test last year before the combine, he was sent home from the NFL combine after nearly getting into a fight with a guy trying to draw his blood, and of course the pot bust last month in Alabama.
The only good news about this is the 49ers have time before the draft and free agency to make the decision to cut him. As they gather more info, they probably will.
So, that coin flip with the Raiders look VERY important now as the Raiders have their eye on Roquan Smith from Georgia who looks to be the 1st ILB drafted and we are suddenly looking for an inside linebacker. Dumbass.
Forty Niners Forever 
Berger, I think I’ve talked myself into a consolation option to Quenton Nelson –
Only because I’ll be shocked to see him in our slot when Draft Day arrives –
Saw this kid at the Senior Bowl and was impressed –
He’s an OT that just doesn’t look big enough to translate to the position in the NFL.
I see him as an OG. Here’s the numbers comparisons I’ve dug up –
Coincidentally, they’re going to be going B2B in the drills. OL26 & OL27 😀
Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame Height: 6-5 Weight: 330 40-Time: 5.25 (OL26)
Joseph Noteboom, OT, T.C.U. Height: 6-5 Weight: 322 40-Time: 5.00 (OG) (OL27)
One caveat to Noteboom having played on the edge in College, would suggest better Pass Pro.
Nelson is a Grade A Mauler inside.
My consolation for not getting Nelson is Price from Ohio St if he is there for us in Rd 2.
While I’m at it….Curious whether this kid can convert to OC?
He looked good in Mobile also.
Kinda small at 6’2″ for an NFL Guard?
Again, these numbers I’m seeing will all get corrected in Indy.
Can’t wait 😀
Isaiah Wynn, OG, Georgia Height: 6-2 Weight: 302 40-Time: 5.30 (OC) (OL48)
I like Wynn too NJ
Kiffin took FAU’s defense from 124th to 37th and comes with a good background.
He’s related to former Buccaneers great Monte Kiffin who coached the Bucs all time great Superbowl
Championship defense.
Guessing Chris will work with the LBs Rob.
See what they do…
Likely he’s replacing Tarver (OLB Coach) who left for Vandy a week or so back.
yup NJ he’s pass rush specialist … whatever the heck that means !

Free agent wish list
#1 CB Rashaan Melvin
#2 G Justin Pugh
#3 WR Donte Moncrief
” Pugh has experience at tackle adding to his value. Otherwise, he’s a notch below Norwell after having a down season in 2017. He dealt with injuries after being among the league’s better guards the previous two years, when he was one of the top-20 run blockers. He has the athleticism the 49ers will covet for the outside zone scheme requiring guards to kick out and block in space.
He would be significantly cheaper than Norwell but still offer long-term upside. He’ll be 28 in August.
Melvin checks all the boxes. He’s 6-foot-2, has long arms and should have a few years left in his physical prime after a promising contract year with Indianapolis. The former undrafted rookie, who bounced from Baltimore to New England, looks like another late bloomer that could excel given the opportunity.
Per Pro Football Focus, Melvin’s passer rating when targeted (60.3) ranked 12th among 126 corners with at least 150 coverage snaps. He allowed just a 52.7 percent completion rate.
” Moncrief is an intriguing combination of size (6-2, 221) and speed (4.4 at his combine in 2014). But the production hasn’t been there with the Colts, which could speak to the instability along the offensive line and Andrew Luck’s rash of injuries. Moncrief averaged 38 catches for 469 yards and 4.5 touchdowns over his four seasons in Indy.
The Ole Miss alum might be more of a deep threat than Robinson, but his athleticism plays all over the field, including jump balls in the scoring area. He’s not as trustworthy as Pierre Garçon, but he offers an intriguing skillset that hybrids between Garçon and Marquise Goodwin. His talent should lend itself well to Kyle Shanahan’s offense.”
Moncrief is certainly worth a look. That kind of speed can’t be taught. =, and if Garoppolo can make Goodwin look great, Moncrief can look even better. If all these guys can be gathered up on the (relative) cheap, then we’re cool.
New thread.
