. . . the less we know. I figured that after the free agent signing period, we would get a better feel for what we do with our #1 pick, but it remains cloudy with a chance of snow. The big free agent move was, of course, Richard Sherman, but the Niners also addressed the center spot by dealing Daniel Kilgore and signing Weston Richberg from the Giants, Jerry Attachou, DE/OLB/pass rusher from the Chargers, and Jerick McKinnon, a fast RB from the Vikings.
So, they addressed the glaring holes at CB, O line, and pass rusher, and addressed the departure of Carlos Hyde with the McKinnon signing in free agency. This of course doesn’t answer the problem of depth, but that is what the draft is for.
And with that, what do we do? The options are many and have been addressed by everyone. Denzel Ward seems to be a lot of people’s picks. And I get it because Richard Sherman is coming off an achilles tear and may not be full strength this season. With all the quarterback frenzy now going on, the draft looks to have 4 QB, maybe even 5, go before the Niners pick, so that could leave a highly coveted guy still available.
Bradley Chubb? No. Saquon Barkley? No. Quentin Nelson? No. Those guys will most likely be gone, but if they are there, we WILL pick one of them. Another interesting name is Derwin James, the safety out of Fla State. With Eric Reid’s likely departure, they may go in that direction despite Tartt, Colbert, McColl, and Jimmie Ward all being available.
There’s also the thought that we could parlay that pick into more by trading down. We could trade down with Cincy at 21 and get ourselves Will Hernandez, the highly rated guard from UTEP. If we could get Cincy’s 1st and a 2nd for our trouble, I’d pull the trigger. Sound good?
Ricky be Ricky….

Tis the season. One of the best LFers I have ever seen. Always wished he was a Giant.
My favorite Ricky quote was when he was told the veterans with tenure get to sit in the back of the bus. Ricky said: Tenure? I’ve got 20 year!
Sherman is basically Draymond Green in football pads. A pain in the as to everyone but his teammates. He garners a ton of respect but a lot of animosity among players and fans alike.
GO TEAM!
WOOF!
Allen Hurns released by the Jags. Good size, decent speed, but he’s allergic to grass! A good red-zone guy.

Allergic to Grass?
Now that’s got me lmao..
The other part was funny to,
“That’s like Joey Chestnut allergic to hotdogs!”
Guess Hurns better sign with a team that plays on artificial turf..,
And what happens when an away game on grass occurs?
I’m thinking Basketball might be a better option, maybe tennis?
Geez….
We play on grass, NJ. And they play tennis on grass . . .
It doesn’t mess him up too bad.
Hurns could switch to Hockey if he’s not allergic to ice..
9ers definitely out Chuck –
As for tennis? He’d have to stick to hardcourt or clay for sure 😀
How the heck did he handle football in the first place?
https://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2018/03/20/49ers-sign-former-first-round-pick-jonathan-cooper-to-compete-for-starting-job/ Sounds more like a replacement for Brandon Fusco.
And Tomlinson.
I think Garnett will start at one guard spot. Gilliam OT and Cooper C/G as the backups. Beadles is a two time pro-bowl guard and an 8 year pro who never missed a game until last year ! I’m not sure what’s up with him . Tomlinson played better last year !
Crazy. I can see where jimi got some of his moves . . .
That was fucking great. He did a lot of good songs.
Too funny! Never heard this one.
chuck- This is most likely where Jimi got his moves
I will stop now
What show is this?
It was one of the blues festivals that they did in England in the early 60’s. I think they did a couple of em.
If you plug in T-Bone Walker on you tube it should take you to the show
Jesus. The line up! Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker Sonny Terry Memphis Slim.
Keep ’em coming!!!
Those unis, man. It was hard to look like a bad-ass with a winking pirate on your helmet.
He should make it to the HOF someday, he was a monster on the field
Was living just south of tampa when Gruden coached these guys to the Superbowl win . Pretty cool ! Lynch reminded me a little of Ronnie Lott when he played !
Yeah, he was a ‘get it done at all costs’ kind of guy. Very similar to Ronnie. Although Ronnie played CB as well as the highest level.
Nobody is Ronnie for sure,he could take over a game. Lynch’s style of play was similar tho, he was fun to watch !
Oh yeah. Being a Stanford guy helped too. Sawe him a couple times back in the day down on the Farm.
New thread is up.
