Niners Want to See Tackle Trent Brown Continue to Improve
While the 49ers are busy scouting talent at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, they've already evaluated the talent at right tackle and are convinced Trent Brown will continue to get better.Head coach Kyle Shanahan recently said, "He's the best pass protection tackle I've ever seen in my life." Shanahan said Brown has to continue to work on his consistency, but has the ability to form a great combination at offensive tackle with Joe Staley on the left side. Staley – the perennial Pro Bowler – also is high on Brown's ability. As Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote recently, Staley has compared Brown to "Jonathan Ogden, a first-ballot Hall of Famer."The 49ers want to improve their offensive line this offseason, but their focus is at guard, not tackle or center, where Daniel Kilgore has already signed a new deal.Brown, at 6-foot-8 and 355 pounds, hasn't reported in the best shape the past two years, reported Branch, but Lynch liked the way Brown' season was progressing in 2017 until it was cut short by injury. He's expected to be ready to go for summer training camp."I thought he made great strides last year," said Lynch. "I really did."The 49ers, however,...

Former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh claims to have recently spoken to Brandon Aiyuk, stating that the star player has no desire to leave the San Francisco 49ers.
Aiyuk and the 49ers are currently negotiating a contract extension, aiming to finalize a new deal. Of course, that hasn't prevented significant media speculation surrounding Aiyuk's future, with many wondering if the delay might hint at a potential trade.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a
