Re: 49ers FA pickups and draft analysis
[ QUOTE ]
Big Niners fan here, I'll share my take on the offseason. I'm very happy with the Clements deal...he will team up with Harris to give us very good coverage. I like the Michael Lewis deal as well...he does have coverage issues, but if we use him properly I think he will have an awesome year for us. Lelie is pretty much useless...I really hope we go after Horn or Stallworth. If not, we need to go WR in the draft, and I really don't want a rookie WR getting much playing time. I also expect us to make a push for Briggs. We have enough early picks to make this trade happen, and that would fill a big hole at LB. As for the draft, I hope and pray that Branch or Landry will fall to us...since that probably won't happen, I'm hoping for Carriker. He should be the best 3-4 DE avaiable at our pick, and we have got to start getting some sacks. I think we have a chance at the division this year. The 'Hawks still make me nervous, but we could dethrone them if everything goes according to plan. GO NINERS! [/ QUOTE ] Briggs doesn't want to play in a 3-4, besides the Bears probably aren't going to think about shopping him anyways.

Re: 49ers FA pickups and draft analysis
Well, we have Banta-Cain. don't know much about him except that he played in the 3-4 with the Pats, so he can't be too bad!
I hope we don't go after Horn (and I don't think we will ... he's too old!) Hopefully we will draft Paul Williams (big physical WR we need) or Jason Hill.

The 9ers sure seem to be busy. They're gonna blow that whole cap surplus overpaying veterans.

Re: 49ers FA pickups and draft analysis
banta cain could be a good pickup. at the very least, he showed that he was a very good situational pass rusher and special teams player. he has trouble against the run and in pass coverage. i think the second problem could be solved though b/c he never really got the reps in new england to be comfortable in coverage, especially as a former end in college. i think he will always be a bit of a run liability b/c he just isn't big or strong enough to set the edge very well in a 3-4 scheme, but if the 49ers use him on the weak side or mostly on passing downs then i think he could be valuable. also, everybody in new england has always said that he had a really good work ethic.

Re: 49ers FA pickups and draft analysis
Does anyone know what this signing does to the depth chart at linebacker? It seems to me we have 3 good outside linebackers now (Lawson Moore Banta-CaiN), and one good inside (Ulbrich). I want Derek Smith out personally, but I don't know if this signing does that. Anyone know?

He had eye surgery off-season so hopefully he recovers from it nicely. If we draft Patrick Willis he'll step in to start as ILB. In my opinion D. Smith = Ulbrich. Our starting LB corp would ideally be: Starting: Lawson - Moore - Willis - Banta-Cain Backup: Ulbrich, D. Smith, R. Green
