The new DC candidate comes from our adversaries the Chiefs. KC DB coach Dave Merritt is the latest guy on the radar. He has been an underling of Steve Spagnulo for years, even with the Giants, and Shanny may be looking to incorporate more of the riks-taking into his defense.
Spagnulo certainly has our number. Hey, he sounds fine. As I’ve been saying, we need to take more risks on defense, and we need to avoid Brandon Staley at all costs.

As far as baseball goes, the Giants are once again doing little to nothing to strengthen the team in any meaningful way. We have 2 starters in our rotation. Is Soler the RH power bat we’ve been searching for? Well, he’s 32 and we will see. He’s better than Haniger anyway. But we still have an anemic lineup full of Yaz’s and Slaters that doesn’t scare anyone, and our bullpen will be a bunch of tired arms by the break.
Oh yeah, that’s when all our IR pitchers will come to save us!
Forty Niners Forever 
DE Eric Watts from UCONN is another guy that impressed –
6’6″ / 274
Ran a pair of 4.6 40s and has the desired wingspan near 36″.
TX Tech DE Myles Cole turned in some good numbers also.
6’6″ / 278
I would put this guy on the list as a potential late Rounder too –
Moved well and has the short arm deficit which likely puts him at the Center spot.

Here’s a smaller school OT that performed well in the drills also.
Not sure how to treat a tall OT with shorter than average arms though.
Pretty athletic however.

Here’s another head scratcher – Curious if Kris Kocurek could resurrect his DT experience? Big kid with what you’d assume are good movement skills as he went to OT.

WAS needs lots of OL. Is Adam Peter’s looking for trades for Jaylen Moore, Nick Zakelj, Spencer Burford borderline types.
We could use ammunition if OT run in 1st rd. Up to 9 could be gone before #31 is called.

Former LB from the Seahawks 34 year old KJ Wright has been named Assistant LB coach/Defense quality control coach.Played 13 years in Seattle giving the Niners fits under Pete Carroll,Dan Quinn, Ken Norton etc..
Love the hire heard him on his podcast KJ All Day and announcing his hire and he’s Stoked being able to work with Warner,Greenlaw and all the other LB’s! Welcome to the bay KJ ❤️💛🏈
KJ always played us tough. I think its a good hire too.

Just do it.
With the 30 mil cap boost many teams looking for WR1 , WR2 can afford a Deebo contract in a trade. Be Walsh and sell now.
The O has changed with CMC and Purdy since deebo’s big year. His short routes and Yac can be replaced. Get oline better pass pro and Purdy use the full field with deeper routes.
Again using WAS , they draft Drake Maye QB at #2 with an oline of rookies and average vets and huge cap to easily afford a deebo contract.
Don’t have a good RB and need a short passing game with an unproven line.
Deebo for the #34 pick
Yer. insane. The Niners would eat $28 mill in dead cap space next year and $6 mill this year if they trade him. No cap relief benefit at all.
Not gonna happen.
He’s the X factor that they can’t afford to lose.
Count me out of the “trade Deebo” routine. When he was out of the line up due to injury the efficiency dropped starkly on O. I know Trent was also out and that’s a definate factor, but Deebo has to be accounted for every down. He was less effective last year but that’s more a function of McCaffrey getting so many touches than Deebo dropping off.
They can sign Brandon without trading Deebo and keep Juan Jennings. That’s tough to counter with Kittle and McCaffrey.
Add something to the right side of the line, for me it’s keep Feliciano and get a new RT.
I don’t want to trade him either he still plays with a fire and the kind of football that is definitely 49er. The only drawback to him is the injury factor he plays a tough game but still gets hammered quite a bit.
No way Deebo goes. He’s a huge cap hit if traded this year. Marathe will find a way to sign Jauan and BA.
He’s a huge part of why this offense is successful.
Curious band. Love it.
