He was horrible in Miami, pretty solid in Oakland. We will soon find out which version we are getting.

#49ers sign seven-year vet Philip Wheeler to compete for a roster spot at inside linebacker.

Seems like a good coverage LB more so than a run stuffer.

Wonder if that really does mean we don't like the top ILB prospects and we are happy letting Bishop and Wheeler compete for the 3rd spot. That or we don't trust these rookies and they might not start until next year.

Good depth signing.
Makes Baalke that much more unpredictable in the draft

I like it. He's decent, nothing special, but we need reinforcements at ILB. Wilhoite still the favorite to start next to Bowman, but its not set in stone. I'd like an upgrade eventually.

Now I think Inside linebacker in round 4
CB in round 2
WR in round 1
DL/OL round 3
CB in round 2
WR in round 1
DL/OL round 3

I wonder why they did the signing now. if they truly aren't that impressed with the ILBs in the draft, isn't it better if the other teams think they might draft one and trade ahead of the niners to beat them to the player?

We can definitely now go with a later-round ILB like Ben Heeney, Bryce Hager or Martrell Spaight.
