The tricky winds at Levi's Stadium can give placekickers ulcers, but Robbie Gould has a stomach of steel. The new 49ers kicker's strength comes from spending 11 seasons employed in Chicago fairly well-known nickname: In 2005, Gould, in his sixth NFL game, was part of a 17-9 win over the 49ers at Soldier Field that featured gale-force gusts. (Defensive tackle) Anthony Adams still gives me a lot of grief for it. The 49ers' Joe Nedney made 3 of 4 field-goal attempts ("Probably the best kicking performance I've ever seen," Gould said), and Gould made 1 of 2 tries, missing a 39-yarder. [...] his impressive resume explains why the 49ers could seamlessly transition from his predecessor, Phil Dawson, who signed with the Cardinals on Friday, the same day Gould was signed by the 49ers. Both were undrafted and spent part of their first NFL season with the Patriots, where they learned from Adam Vinatieri. Dawson, who signed with the 49ers in 2013 after 14 seasons in Cleveland, was the 2015 team MVP and made 86.1 percent (99 of 115) of his attempts during his tenure.

NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah unveiled his fourth and final mock draft, projecting the San Francisco 49ers to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy with the No. 31 overall pick.
While many anticipated the 49ers bolstering their offensive line in the first round, Jeremiah's choice may raise eyebrows. However, with seven offensive tackles already off the board, he opted to provide third-year quarterback Brock Purdy with another explosive target.
"This is my favorite fit in the first round," Jeremiah explained. "We saw what Tank Dell did in a similar offensive system with Houston, and we know what Mike McDaniel has been able to build with so much

With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
