Hey, we signed Eddie Dinero Piniero as well, but I do like the Mike Evans signing. He’s solid, tough, has size and speed, and is a great 3rd down/deep ball/red zone option given his 6’5″ 230 lb frame. Yeah a little long in the tooth at 32, but he’s got some mileage left.
A little surprised the Buccos simply gave up on him as he must lead their team in just about every WR category, but hey, he’s a pro and he should do very well here.
So glad to see a move like this as this will hopefully get the impetus to fix the O line in the draft. Throw Mac Jones into the mix for some good bodies on the O line.
chuck I was thinking of picking younger FA’s. There was a bunch of em to be had and I think their still is. I’ll go look at rotoworld. But I do agree that Evans will be worth it if he plays up to his level this year. My guess is we got him because this is the last year of our window. We shall see.
Vederian Lowe 6’5″ 315 may be our LG if we opt for D with initial draft picks. A 49erswebzone article says he is a swing Tackle.
we can afford this, do it

this keeps Bosa double team away
Winder I get it by getting younger with the WR’s but the 49ers truly need an X factor #1 receiver and Evans is all of that with 10 straight 1,000 yard seasons( 11 straight would’ve of equaled some guy named Jerry Rice?)until last season and at 6’5 230 lbs is a force in the red zone, and now I hear they just lost Bourne to Cardinals and Jennings surely moving on along with Aiyuk who actually helps on Evans 3/60 deal saving 27M on his release.And with only Pearsall, and Shanny’s weird obsession of not involving rookies are2nd year guys Watkins&Cowings maybe they still go after FA Alec Pierce are Romeo Doubs are for sure more WR’s in the draft to sit on the bench..
Kat- We are gonna need to pickup at least another couple of WR’s in FA because i don’t think we can count on Cowing or Pearsall. i like Evans but just not so much at 32 but it does look like he’s all we got.
You can bet he will be double teamed a lot which should open up the run game some but I don’t think McCaffrey is gonna have a year like he did last year especially if we lose Williams. I just hope Evans won’t turn into a seldom used Anquan Boldin.
49ers new OT Vederian Lowe’s stats for 2025: • 165 pass-blocking opportunities • 1 sack allowed • 15 pressures allowed • 95.2 pass-block efficiency • 67.1 pass-block grade • 56.8 run-block grade
start at LG , draft LG backup later or is Zakelj good enough. If Trent leaves team or injured then he starts at LT
63rd out of 89 players at his position. We do need bodies.
It would be hysterical if the VIkes traded for Jones after letting Sourdough Sam skate.
Really sorry to hear the Flap is gone. I was always hoping Craig would maybe just put up one new post a week, then leave it alone, let people just add to it throughout the week, wouldn’t require much from Craig. Or maybe it still does, I don’t know. A lot of us go way back to the Splash, so it’s been many years (decades now, even) that we’ve had a great forum at the Flap. Hard to imagine life without it, actually. Maybe a new venue will pop up somewhere, somehow, by someone….
