Well, I guess since ol’ Pete used to sign everyone off of our FA wire, we are doing the same with their coaches. The Nijers recently signed KJ Wright, a stalwart member of the Legion of Boom, to be their assistant LB coach. Throw in new DC Nick Sorensen, he himself a member of the Seahawks coaching staff for 8 years, previous DC Robert Saleh was an assistant for 3 years there, Richard Sherman, and there you go. The Seattle Solution.
Hey, whatever works. Seattle has been nothing less relentless on defense for a long time, so I like that direction.
Other than that, the combines are over, and we still need to beef up the O line. The Niners have 11 picks, so they should be able to work toward someone they like down the board. Tomlinson is out there. He’d be a solid backup should he so desire to be one.
Gonna be quiet for a while football-wise though.
Giants? (Got to keep Dj Loo interested!) Well, they signed Matt Chapman, so I wonder when JD Davis gets traded. I’d love to see us be able to find someone better than Slater in the OF. Got to live with Yaz I guess. The SS spot is suddenly weird with Fitzgerald, Luciano, and now Nick Ahmed vying for ABs. The rest is a mish-mash of platoonies and young guys. The pitching is about 6 guys from being good.
Still waiting for some kind of trade involving JD, Slater, Bart, and Villar for a bag of balls and 3 fungo bats.
Forty Niners Forever 
Well so much for getting anything for Davis, we just put him on waivers.
Maybe someone will claim him and then a trade will be arranged…?.. Kind of odd. The team needs to be careful with this, considering Chapman is likely here for only 1 year….
I think once on waivers he’s fair game for anyone. I just can’t believe they couldn’t get a kid from AA or A ball for him.
Yeah, I don’t know the exact rules, but I think I remember that if another team claims him, Giants can pull him back off waivers and then they can arrange a trade if the other team still wants him. Agree, Davis is really one of the only players who would seemingly have trade value, I’m guessing they’ll get something for him. Unless they’ve changed the waiver rules.
Paul&Winder I’m bummed how the Giants have handled the JD Davis situation a solid player but obviously not as solid as Chapman.Still u can never have enough power bats!
To my understanding if Davis goes unclaimed a real possibility since teams are unwilling to give up prospects are pickup his 7 mil contract,the Giants could potentially release him and only be on the hook for a prorated portion of his salary.Because Davis beat the Giants in an Arbitration hearing last month,his full salary is not guaranteed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement..

Looks like a run on OT and IOL this draft class . If we don’t trade up then here is Zakelj ‘s combine to compare against 2nd and 3rd rd potential picks..
From a small school he may have not prepared enough to get his data better.
Looked up some combine on Spencer Burford. 6’4″ 300 34 3/4 arm and 5.19 40 dash.
Right oline the foremost liability and needs to keep Purdy healthy. First two picks need to be RT then RG. Use FA this week for OC if needed.

Also Kingsley Sumataia has similar combine. Per mocks looks like top 6 OT are gone by 20 picks and a trade up would use 2025 1st. So next two are Jordan Morgan and Kingsley Sumataia
Both seem to be better than McKivitz but can they be future LT? Do we want to trade up in 2nd for best RG.

6’6″ 306 33.75 arm 5.35 40 drafted 2020 3rd rd
So our RT and RG seem light but slow and not good f[r outside zone runs.
Yeah, AK, agree they seem to have handled Davis a bit awkwardly. In the early days of this offseason, I was in favor of picking up Chapman and moving Davis to primarily DH, with some time in the field. Once they got Soler, getting Chapman obviously meant they had to do something else with Davis. They had a lot of time to think about that. I’m actually surprised the Chapman signing didn’t include a nearly immediate trade of Davis, which would have reduced some of the “awkwardness”….
Probably should have traded Davis before they announced the Chapman deal. Teams waiting it out so they could just pay his salary and not give up a player in a trade.
Now I’m wondering if SF should open with Bart (no options) and send Bailey down (options) until they can work out a decent trade for Joey.
Before they went out and acquired a backup catcher (don’t remember his name), I even thought they could open with Bart along with Bailey, give Joey some playing time. Good catchers are not common, can never have enough good catchers. If Bailey went down with an injury, they’d be kinda stuck. But you’re right, Joey probably isn’t long for Giants world.
The backup catcher is Tom Murphy(32 years old but has power when healthy, how many times do we hear that)who played with Seattle last year.Giants signed him to a 2 year deal at 8 mil? So Bart like Davis is toast with this team
Wow I just heard the 49ers are releasing Arik Armstead that’s fucked up! Well I guess as usual for the umpteenth year in a row the 49ers will be drafting an DL instead of OL first again.
No, we’ll get an FA interior lineman. DJ Jones should come back.
As far as Bart and JD Davis go, I think the league is onto the fact that neither of those guys are anything more than middling to low-level talent at this point.
I mean really, Bart isn’t even all that good defensively. If he can’t hit .250, 25, 75 RBI, then he’s not on anyone’s radar. Davis is the same. He has moments where he’s good, but gives you 6 weeks of scuffling in between.
New thread is up.
