Who else is left that is average or above average in FA? Are the Niners depending on the draft? Does Kilgore's trade (for nothing) suggest the first selection will be a guard (and not pass rusher even after Dumervil's release)? Do the Niners trade down and select Wynn and (with the extra pick) follow that with Daniels, Price or Ragnow? Or trade down, select Landry or Davenport (whichever is available) and select two guards from the 2nd or 3rd rounds. And start two rookies on the OL in front of Jimmy G?
For now, we have Erik Magnuson backing up Richburg. That's a good thing. And we added back $5.375M to the cap.
Only two decent veterans left in Justin Pugh and Jack Mewhort.
Here's an interesting bit of info. Just a few minutes ago, NFLN had 4 mocks shown across the bottom of the screen. TWO of them had Nelson not going til 10 or later. One had us taking Ward in that case which i think is nutty. If Nelson is there we take him.. and that would take care of us needing two OGs in Draft .We would need only one more, and Mason Cole at #70 in rd 3, would be nice. But we take one long before that, and then may go back and take him also. we would be lousy with OGs all of a sudden.
FTR, the other two mocks that had Nelson taken already had us with Tremaine, and Roquan.
