Here's my updated offseason after the combine. The most likely scenario involves us keeping Crabtree and only bringing in Royal as a FA WR. We give him one more offseason and an actual training camp and preseason to improve. To get both the players we'd want in the draft, we need to get another 1st rnd pick and I think we'd target NE's at no 31.They love to trade down and acquire future picks.
FA:
Resign:
Alex Smith 3 yr 7mil/yr and full of incentives
Dashon Goldson 5yr 6mil/yr
Ahmad Brooks resigned
Josh Morgan 4yr 3mil/yr
C. J. Spillman resigned
Blake Constanzo 3 yrs 1mil/yr
carlos rogers 4yrs 8mil/yr.
Larry Grant 2nd rnd tender
Adam Snyder 3 yrs 2mil/yr
Gone:
Chilo Rachal
Moran Norris
Brett Swain.
Justin Peelle
Reggie Smith
Madieu Williams
Ted Ginn
Cuts:
Shawntae Spencer
Restructure:
Parys Haralson salary cut down to 1.2 mil/yr
Sign:
Carl Nicks OL 6yrs 8mil/yr We set up a dominant OL. We will be able to convert in short yardage and run the ball in the redzone and to close out games. Alex will get more time in the pockets to allow the Wr's to get open. He loses field vision when he starts to look at the rush coming. Hopefully, he'll come here to play at home and with his friend Goodwin.
Eddie Royal WR - 4 yrs 3mil/yr We get a great return man who can also play WR, get open and catch the ball. Hopefully, he'll want to come play with his old college teammate Morgan.
possible: Laurent Robinson WR- 4 yrs 5mil/yr We only sign him if we trade Crabtree. Another possibilty is Pierre Garcon if his rumored 7mil a yr demand is wrong.
Trade:
We trade our 2nd rnd pick and our 2013 1st rnd pick to NE for their 2012 1st rnd pick at 31.
backup plan to move up: Michael Crabtree- We trade him to Dallas or Houston for a 3rd round pick. If we sign Robinson, Dallas might want a 3rd WR. Better yet would be to trade him to Houstan and and eliminate them taking a WR in the first rnd. I don't see him being happy in this offense long term. Trade our 2nd, this 3rd and next year's 2nd to NE.
Draft:
1stA Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford -redzone threat, harbaugh can run 3TE offense
1stB Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech - Tall fast WR on the outside, endzone threat
3rd Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State - physical north south RB.
4th Josh Norman, CB, Coastal Carolina - small school big corner, slow speed at the combine
5th Jacquies Smith, OLB, Missouri - backup OLB
6th BPA
7th small school BPA
