I have. It was nice.

And I like the signing.

if you guys read my posts..you may be shocked to know i was totally calm after missing out on three guys yesterday. this is a great great signing. he still has to beat out kilgore and sure i liked the iowa center but in a real position of need it makes so much sense to get a vet and not a rookie here in this important spot.. i know jimmy liked kilgore and i am sure he will be a respectable back up. but jimmy should love this signing. good job

Weston Richburg started off as a guard for the NYG, he moved to center and stuck there because of an injury. The 49ers were direct about planning to start Daniel Kilgore at center after his extension. If that holds true, Richburg would fit at guard.

So most likely, Kilgore moves to G, where he was originally sloted coming out in the draft...?

Kilgore lacks the athletesism needed for guard.

Kilgore also lacks the power to run block...

but as long as he's still between the QB and the dlineman, Jimmy still has a chance to get the pass off.

I think Kilgore is going to be a good solid backup. He's not good at any one position, but he's not bad at any either.

Oh okay, that's a little concerning, it'll be interesting to see if he can move passed the concussion issue.

The Giants were tanking and basically banished him.

i heard that to. he was not being treated the way he thought he should be. maybe thats just blather but i will gladly take him.

Um yea, about that, I was jus thinking the same.

I think that whole team was terrible, but I trust Kyle to pick his guy. I didn't think Goodwin would amount to anything, and i was wrong.

To be fair they were terrible because he was missing. He got a concussion early after two years injury free. It seems they handled it the right way and sat him for the whole year so hopefully it doesn't lead to future issues. There were rumblings that he was among the future elite at the center position before he went down. It seems like Kilgore has increasing odds of being a back up center and starting guard...but I imagine camp and the draft still have a lot to say about that.

Nice to have two NFL proven centers. Both have OL flexibility which is great.

Not necessarily. Richburg is a C, not a G.

i think if anything. my draft crush, the center from iowa is off the board but oh well.. you need a quality vet in this key position. ask brodie spurrier and plunket in the forest blue days

Maybe there's an out in the Kilgore contract (in regards to guaranteed money) and he may get cut after training camp/preseason if he doesn't play well.
