Free Agency
QB Brian Hoyer 2 year deal - Hoyer is brought in to be a veteran backup. His stats have been solid the past 2 seasons (17 games, 4000 yards, 25 TD's 7 INT's)
RB Jacquizz Rodgers 2 year deal - A versatile back who did a solid job filling in for Doug Martin this year. We all know Hyde's health history so having capable backups is crucial.
TE Martellus Bennett 3 year deal - It's no secret that McDaniels incorporates a lot of 2 TE sets and he values them very highly. Bennett knows his system and provides another weapon for our QB to utilize.
NT Bennie Logan 4 year deal - We have a huge hole at NT, Dorsey is solid but more a rotational guy. Logan will help plug up running holes, allow Buckner and Armstead to make more plays, and make it easier on our ILB's like Bowman and Ray Ray to stop the run.
OLB Connor Barwin 3 year deal - Barwin is likely to be a cap casualty for the Eagles, they have Curry and Graham at DE already who are younger, cutting Barwin frees up some cap space. For us, Barwin is most effective and productive as a 3-4 OLB, high character and a veteran presence. Notable upgrade over Brooks. Credit to GEEK for pointing out Barwin most likely being cut.
Trades
49ers trade 1st round pick to the Jets for 2017 1st and 2nd round picks, and 2018 2nd and 5th round picks. (Jets get their Franchise QB in Trubisky and don't have to give up multiple first round picks for him)
49ers trade 2017 2nd round pick (from Jets) and 2018 2nd round pick (whichever end up being lesser value between ours and pick we acquired from Jets) to New England Patriots for QB Jimmy Garappolo.
Draft
Round 1 - Mike Williams WR Clemson - It's been a long time since we've had a true bona fide #1 WR, Williams becomes that instantly. Garappolo will have some very solid weapons to work with.
Round 2 - Takkarist McKinley OLB/DE UCLA - We haven't been able to get much pressure on opposing QB's, we add another talented pass rusher in McKinley here. Barwin, McKinley, Lynch, Harold, Buckner and Armstead. Our pass rush should be much improved.
Round 3 - Anthony Walker Jr ILB Northwestern - Love Bowman but 2 big time injuries? Will be tough to come back close to 100%. Ray Ray looked solid for us but is still a question mark. We need depth at ILB, 2016 definitely taught us that.
Round 4 - Ryan Switzer WR North Carolina - Switzer has Edelman/Amendola written all over him, similar size, very shifty, hard to bring down and most importantly reliable hands. Often a go to for QB Mitch Trubisky.
Round 4 comp pick via Boone - Brady Gustafson QB Montana - Goes to Montana? Has the name Brady in his name? With those coincidences we would be fools to not draft this guy. But seriously, we draft him as a young QB to develop, who could be a nice longterm backup to Garappolo.
Round 5 - Nick Linder OC Miami - Kilgore while solid was arguably the weakest link on the o-line, give Linder a year or so and could challenge for the starting spot.
Round 6 - Kendell Beckwith LB LSU - I know I know, an ACL pick, but in the 6th round Beckwith is worth the risk. Once a solid 3rd round prospect, we get Beckwith in the 6th who could very well end up starting alongside Bowman/Walker/Armstrong in a couple years. Beckwith probably spends 2017 on PUP/IR but we have great depth at ILB going forward.
Round 7 - Weston Steelhammer S Air Force - How do you not draft a safety with the name Steelhammer?
What do you guys think?
