I started doing an annual 49ers hip-hop preview song called "The Best in the West" back in 2009, before the 49ers actually became that, and I've done one every year since. I don't just rhyme random player names together and try to have fun, but I actually strive to give actual insight, analysis and opinion in a song-based format, but I do have a little fun with it! So, with that in mind, here's a 2016 San Francisco 49ers preview unlike any others you've seen.

Isaiah Oliver discusses strengths, looking to help 49ers in any way

It should be comforting to San Francisco 49ers fans to learn that Falcons fans on social media were unhappy with the news that cornerback Isaiah Oliver wasn't returning to Atlanta. Oliver signed a two-year deal with the Niners and will likely compete for the nickel cornerback spot made vacant by the departure of Jimmie Ward to the Houston Texans.
Oliver has played 77 percent of his 510 defensive snaps in the slot over the last two seasons, per Pro Football Focus.
"I definitely felt much more comfortable in there," Oliver said on Thursday, speaking to 49ers reporters for the first time. "I felt like I was able to kind of play to my strengths a little more. Just being around the ball,

Jason Kelce: 49ers adding Javon Hargrave "not going to make it any easier" for Eagles

Adding Javon Hargrave was a huge (and shocking) addition by the San Francisco 49ers. While it seems like a perfect fit and addresses a significant team need, no one saw it coming.

"[W]hile I am happy for them and their families, I am also sad to be losing some of my closest friends for the last 5 years," tight end George Kittle posted on Instagram, discussing the initial flurry of roster activity at the start of the new league year.
While there were more exits than arrivals, San Francisco added one big-name free agent—defensive lineman Javon Hargrave. It's a move that bolsters the interior of a

Twenty San Francisco 49ers players are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on Wednesday. Three of them are offensive linemen. The biggest name among those linemen is tackle Mike McGlinchey, who will likely garner significant interest around the NFL.
Daniel Brunskill and Jake Brendel are also slated to become free agents. The latter is reportedly garnering interest as well. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, multiple teams are interested in pursuing Brendel in free agency, including the Houston Texans and a pair of AFC teams. Former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans is the new head coach there. Former 49ers passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik is the
