49ers waive DB Dre Kirkpatrick

I'm unclear on your feelings on this. He's better than DJ.
Solid move. Better than adding Sherman
He didn't play that well but I will give him some credit, last year in limited time he got 3 interceptions on the cardinals. That's the only silver lining I can provide
Ugh. Desperation signing. Dre can play in a pinch but will get burned if he has to play the majority of the season.
We got E-Man and Norman to be our starters, hopefully this signing is to replace #27.
Cant believe they didnt find an all pro for the vet minimum

This is the right mindset.
I agree Dres a minor upgrade to DJ I just think there's better CBs still available. Ones with upside that might improve.

We went to the SB with Eman and an old and fading Sherman

JV would have been a luxury at CB this year

At this point we just need competent DBs

Eman was gosh darn good tho

Yeah, much better than Sherman.

Dre ain't great but saying he's only a minor upgrade over DJ is flat wrong. DJ is terrible. It felt like Goff didn't even look at any other receiver, other then whoever DJ was covering because it was damn near an automatic completion or penalty every throw.
Well, we need bodies, what would you expect?
why didn't they trade for stephen gilmore!

I hope Norman isn't starting over Lenoir once he's active
