Mock offseason

Wilhoite has been dependable and durable. He's worked his way up from the practice squad. I doubt you could draft someone to come in and immediately replace him.

I completely agree..but the thing is we won't pay what other teams will..he's a great player who has been seen now...teams will pay for him..

Disagree, Wilhoite although may be a hard worker, he's just not starting material. Great player by no means, is a liability in coverage, has a hard time disengaging from his blocker.

And is it so hard that a rookie can replace Wilhoite, I mean if you think about it a rookie came in and did just that. Borland has outplayed Wilhoite from his first start. I've seen Borland not only around the ball more, but has also played coverage better too.

With that said, I don't think the 9ers need to take an ILB in this draft, I'd rather see Shane Skov get the reps and be the one to develop. The talent is there, there's a reason he was projected as a 2nd-3rd round pick.

Well Wilhoite and TJE are restricted free agents - so we can sign them on the cheap. I envision the 49ers trading both in pre-season similar to how Parys Haralson and Colin Jones were traded. If we can get 6th round draft picks for both, then we increase our cap space and get more late round picks.

Wouldn't e dissappointed if Wilhoit left.

BUT Boreland isn't just some rookie we found - he's outplayed many starters on other teams also.

Agree on Skov.

You're NOT going to get a Cheaper and Better replacement for Martin.

Better - oh yeah!

Cheaper - Probably.

Better and Cheaper - I really don't think so.

Smart move - I like your thinking.

Like what you did with the WR's. Torrey Smith and DGB would be great pickups.

I would keep Wilhoite around because of his experience and he will not be difficult to resign as a RFA. Gore on the other hand, needs to go at some point.

You are right about Marcus Peters. He will be gone in the first round. You definitely took some risks except for Mannion which is good. Good draft overall.

I could get down with this...not sure how I feel about grabbing another injured RB with our 1st pick (I know his injury isn't anything like lattimore's but still)

I am on the DGB bandwagon the talent is too great, not sure if he is going in the draft this yr and I wonder if a 2nd rd pick is to high?

Doubt SF can grab Smith in FA... I would like to see what they have in Patton and Ellington anyway ( Plus they don't spend big money on FA anyway).


One big thing you forgot in your mock off season is who will be coaching next year that's the big ?

No way we let Cox go

We currently need to find our balls and never let go of cox.

Not bad hard to predict the draft this early but dgb and peters are both going in the first. Would also trade/cut vd and let gore walk. It's business vd can't cut it anymore and would rather let go of gore a year early than late. Wilhoite is restricted so he is coming back. But if we get a new coach and fangio goes with Harbaugh and roman we may get a 4-3 coach and all this s**t will be void.

Yeah I´ve mentioned Torrey Smith a few days ago in the Free Agency Section.

1. Veteran in his prime

2. He would he give our offense a much needed speed element.

3. Anquan Boldin

"I think the good thing about him is that he''s a guy (who is) real inquisitive. He wants to get better, loves to work. He comes to me all the time and asks questions. He' is like my little brother. He comes to me for a lot of advice both on and off the field."

Smith was PISSED the way Baltimore handled the whole Anquan situation.




Do it Baalke.

I hope fangio stays..what I'm hearing is if harbaugh is fired fangio and tomsula are candidates..so the d would stay..wish harbaugh would just let roman go..
