Rate our FA Performance so far

Overspending I get. But you have to spend to be "overspending" or "underspending" or "spending the right amount". If you don't spend at all don't affix the word spend to what we are doing.

The old axiom is the best teams "never venture deep into FA waters". Then Denver does exactly that and wins a Super Bowl.

Axiom Update: "Don't venture deep into FA waters unless you can do it real well".

We can't, so I guess it's best if we bypass.

I do not expect the Niners to land any top FA's if any at all. With Ballke running the show and with the reputation Kelly has among the players in the NFL there is no surprise Niners have not signed any FA's.

The 49ers Championship Legacy has been ruined by Jed York and Trent Baalke.

This team will have to be built through the draft for several years to come. I just saw where Lauranaitis signed with the Saints, not that he is a world beater but with that said that is even worse that the Niners could not sign him. I will say that if Torrey Smith had a redo he would be somewhere else right now.

lol wasn't an option

Incredibly there were 24 freeagent signings since Monday. including knighton Schwartz ramirez. It's amazing but we have completely forgotten about FA here on the zone. Looks like FO just stopped shopping.

We sign a subpar OL for too much money and then no one else. :slowclap:

I can understand not overpaying for players , and crippling our cap for the future ...personally I wanted Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan , but I'm sure Baalke feels Armstead, Williams and Dial can be our defensive line anchors, and bringing in a D-Lineman and paying him much more than them, was a factor in not going after a free agent LB or DE ...Hopefully we draft a stud ILB to run with Bowman , because it was a real luxury to have 2 ILB's that could drop back in coverage , and keeping the blitzing down to minimum and allow 7 to stay back in coverage in a base defense ....this draft is so goddamn important , we need to hit on all of our picks if we are going to be a draft and develop team ...Baalke is a Belichick and Ted Thompson wannabe, and wants to groom homegrown talent , so he better damn well find the right pieces to make this thing work

No evidence that our draft process will focus on actual team needs instead will lose discipline with value oriented reaches.

If we take a player that weighs less than 270 pounds in our first round I will barf.

Good thing we didn't chase pot roast, since our two starters won't be available week one.

More shrewd player management by the yorks.

F+

Why the plus?

Just thinking about this makes one sick. What a waste of a FA season. And for a change it wasn't because we didn't have the money. The more money we have the less we do? That is truly an April fool's joke, tho it happened last month. It continues to be a bad joke, however.

Don't know how anyone can defend Baalke's inactivity.

Like would you rather have devey start 16 games or pick up ramirez for like 1.5m. come on. we p*ssd away more on bush and dockett last season. If we wanted a serious long term (2-3yr) candidate for starter, schwartz. We need khordokovsky to start priming the pump.

I am sure if you ask Jed he'll tell you it's A.
