In somewhat shocking news, the Niners trade for Trent Williams of the Washington Redskins for next year’s 3rd round pick, and this year’s 5th round pick. Joe Staley, citing health concerns, has decided to retire. At least the timing was right. Williams, who held out last season with the Skins due to his feeling that the Skins medical staff misdiagnosed treatment of s growth on Williams’ head.
Williams is one of the top-rated tackles in the league, grading out as 3rd best in the league for the past 3 years, behind Joe Staley and David Bakhtiari. So we get a fresh 31 year old tackle who should be able to fit right in and pick up where Joe left off.
Joe Staley of course has been a mainstay for 13 seasons with the 49ers. He led the way for Frank Gore, protected a lot of mediocre quarterbacks, wnet through both of the recent resurgences, was a 5 time pro-bowler, 3 time all-pro and part of the All-decade team of the 2010s.
Should be a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame in 5 years.
Forty Niners Forever 
Somewhewre along the way we lost our pick at 245?
Went to MN.
Aiyuk deal I believe
Thanks.
Sure would of liked for Joe Staley to have gotten a SB ring! The guy was ALL CLASS throughout his long solid career! I think he gets in the HOF …
What do you think of the picks NJ?
And Trent Williams was just a steal from the bumbling Snyder led Redskins! Replace a pro bowl LT with another one and 5 years younger! 3 instant starters, nice maneuvering by Niners!
Concerned about the reports of tendinitis with Kinlaw.
Loved that he made to us but…maybe that’s why?
Crossed fingers it’s not an issue.
Staley also bothers me.
Gotta keep the faith for now.
NFCW got much tougher this weekend.
Hope we did.
He said he isn’t feeling any pain, but hey, it;’s football.
Yeah, I’m down with the moves. I was disappointed at first what with CD and JJ being there, but I think the guy Aiyuk suits their needs nearly perfectly.
The Rams didn’t really do anything but get weaker. They have crashed and burned pretty hard. The biggest move was the fucking Texans giving DeAndre Hopkins away to the Cards.
New thread is up.
