Brandon Lloyd is saying all the right things, has a nice resume and appears eager to prove himself once again.But how much impact can the 49ers' newest wide receiver – now 32 – have on his new team in 2014?Lloyd, who recently signed a free-agent contract to re-join the team that drafted him in 2003, sat out last season to pursue his interests in acting and music. Now he's trying to make the roster of a team that wants to get more production from a third wideout. The hope is that San Francisco will be able to land a field-stretching speed receiver in the draft that begins May 8, with one of its top picks to join starters Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.But Lloyd – who had 74 catches for 911 yards, four touchdowns and a 12.3-yard average in 2012 with the New England Patriots – believes he can be an impact player in San Francisco.This week, Lloyd said in an interview on the "KNBR Morning Show" that, "I've improved dramatically as a player and a person" and is eager to contribute to a team that has been just a step or two away from winning an NFL championship the past three seasons."Every person wants to say, 'I want to be on a championship-caliber team,' "...

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
By David Bonilla

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.

Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
