btw if we bomb this year, i want scooby wright in next year's draft.
That dudes motor is unreal. How high can an ILB really go? Not sure if he'd be considered a better prospect than Kuechly.

Kuechly continues on the path he's on may go down as best of all time. Just my opinion. With that being said Bowman is a huge part of the defense being successful if he plays a full 16 this year no way in hell we go 6-10.

@dland24 wholeheartedly agree with everything you stated.

-Kaep underperformed last season relative to two things: the expectation that was set when he came booming into the league after taking the reigns from Alex Smith and the expectations that were set once he signed that contract. All things considered, Kaep had a decent season. If he can shake off the "one-read" QB label this season, we're gonna be in the playoffs.

-Back to defense: media is completely underrating our secondary. Brock, Dontae, Ward (expecting this dude to not be buns in his 2nd season) are more than capable. Not to mention, I think our defensive line will be able to consistently put pressure on QBs and wont leave the secondary out to dry. Losing Cowboy sucks, but I'm glad we got Darnell Docket to take his place. Dude was/is a beast. With Tomsula as our HC, I find it hard to believe that our defense won't be stout.


Call me a homer, but I see us winning at least 8-9 games.

Yall really that confident with our ILB's consisting of Wilhoite, Moody, and Bowman coming off injury?

If we had Borland I wouldn't worry but I don't like Wilhoite's game, man.
 
dont forget philip wheeler. i actually expect him to win the starting job. he was a pretty damn good player with the raiders just a couple seasons ago. good enough that he got a big contract from the dolphins. in addition, dont forget he's reunited with his LB coach, philip tarver, whom he had his best season with at oakland.

wilhoite is a solid backup, but moody is trash.

In agreement with you guys, I believe this team is better than what the media thinks. Our team was stacked with depth, now we will see that depth and red shirt picks make their mark. This season still relies heavily on Kaep, however this is still a good 9 to 10 win team this season, and I see them fighting for a wild card.
 
I know this happened a long time ago, but farewell Andy Lee. there were some dark years where he was one of the most important players on this team.
 
The Niners were similar to a beater car. Something was always broken and the moment you fix it something else breaks down and needs replacement. Except for Andy Lee, but that's the equivalent of the radio working.
 
Hate to say it, but this camp/preseason will be make or break for QP. Dude hasn't had a fair shake, but there just aren't enough spots on the roster this time around to justify keeping him around. There's too much competition. Everyone on the roster can stretch the field except for QP(obviously anquan is exempt).

Torrey, Q, Bruce, Jerome Simpson, Deandre Smelter(PUP) and Deandrew White will likely be locks for the 53-man roster. I am not expecting QP to make the roster.

Tight end is another interesting position to keep an eye on. I expect Baalke to keep both of his rookie tight ends, so garrett celek, derek carrier and even vance will all be on the hot seat.

Millard vs Miller at the fullback position.

[h2]10 Rookies to Watch at 49ers Training Camp[/h2]
Before the San Francisco 49ers officially begin training camp on Aug. 1, let's take a look at 10 notable rookies on the roster.

The beauty of this post is that we could be completely wrong about who should be included on this list. In reality, there's always an under-the-radar rookie who grabs the spotlight in training camp and finds his way onto the 53-man roster after four preseason contests.

Case in point, not many scribes were talking about undrafted lineman Dillon Farrellas a roster candidate last year. But we were wrong. Farrell made the team.

This particular top-10 list is not in any order. It's simply a list of players who will be given a solid amount of practice reps based on what was observed in Organized Team Activities and minicamps.

1. Dylan Thompson

Based on who touches the ball the most in training camp, a third-string quarterback is high on the list. The South Carolina product will get plenty of opportunities to spin the rock. He'll get to throw to former college teammates like wide receiverBruce Ellington, tight endBusta Anderson  and running back Mike Davis. Thompson looked impressive in his first offseason. It's no wonder why he led the SEC last season with 26 touchdown passes. In camp, Thompson will have a chance to prove the 49ers should keep three signal-callers on the roster. 

2. Eli Harold

You can never have enough pass-rushing help. Trent Baalke knows this all too well. That's why the San Francisco's general manager picked up Aaron Lynch  in the fifth round of last year's draft and Harold, the Virginia standout, in the third round of this year's draft. Harold has the size to be an pass-rushing problem for NFL tackles. He also has the perfect player to emulate ahead of him on the depth chart:Aldon Smith.

3. Blake Bell

The "Belldozer" is an intuiging player to watch for many reasons. The Oklahoma tight end will be in the mix to be one of the team's top three tight ends this season. Bell also is a unique talent around the goal line. Can he be used as a short-yardage weapon? That remains to be seen. Bell accounted for 40 touchdowns in college, throwing for 12 and rushing for 24. When the 49ers go into goal-line periods, that could be Bell's time to prove why he earned such a sweet moniker.

4. Arik Armstead

We weren't able to see Armstead matchup against the veterans this offseason. Armstead missed offseason practices due to Oregon's graduation date. Even so, the 6-foot-7 defensive lineman has the tools to be a contributor in San Francisco's defensive line rotation. We're most eager to see how Armstead uses his long levers against left tackle Joe Staley  in 1-on-1 pass-rushing drills.

5. DeAndrew White

Out of the six rookie wideouts on the roster, our eyes were fixated on No. 18 during offseason practices. White caught everything thrown his way. Everything. The 49ers used a fourth-round pick on Georgia Tech's DeAndre Smelter, but it's not known if he'll be ready for training camp, let alone his rookie season. So with opportunity for a young wideout to shine, White was able to consistently flash throughout the offseason. Now we're eager to see if that translates to padded practices against the first-team defense.

6. Bradley Pinion

A special teams institution moved on this offseason when the 49ers traded Andy Lee to the Cleveland Browns. Enter the Clemson stud, who left school early to showcase his booming leg on the professional level. Pinion's role will be under the microscope since he's following Lee's decade-long reign as San Francisco's punter. Pinion could even be the 49ers kick-off specialist. The fact that the 21-year-old could impact regular season games in multiple ways means we'll be tracking the rookie's punts and kicks throughout camp.

7. Mike Davis

Easily the most entertaining rookie on social media, this 5-foot-9 bruiser looks to bring his physical style of play into training camp. Davis is used to heavy competition. He took the torch from Marcus Lattimore at South Carolina and became one of the top rushers in the SEC over the past two seasons. With the 49ers, Davis will be in a competitive backfield with the likes of Carlos HydeKendall Hunter  and Reggie Bush. Davis' compact frame and hard-charging style could make him a short-yardage weapon. As for his all-around verstatility, we're eager to see it show itself over the course of the training camp schedule.

8. Trent Brown

The fourth and final retirement of the 49ers offseason means this seventh-round draft pick could be in the mix to start in 2015. With Anthony Davis off the roster, Brown is now competing with veteran Erik Pears  to be the team's first-team right tackle. Brown's size (6-foot-8, 355 pounds) makes him a force to be reckoned with. In the same way we want to see dream matchups like Harold versus Staley; we're intruiged at the thought of Brown squaring off against veterans like Smith andAhmad Brooks.

9. Jaquiski Tartt

Samford will be on the map when this hard-hitting safety gets a chance to showcase his talents in training camp and preseason games. Tartt was drafted by the 49ers because of his rangy cover skills. He also has the ability to play in the box, which gives defensive coordinator Eric Mangini added options with his personnel. Tartt wasn't an under-the-radar pick to those in the scouting community. In camp, the young safety will get his chance to prove he can make game-changing plays on the professional level.

10. Dres Anderson

We close out this list with the Utah product who impressed with his post-reception burst. Anderson had his 2014 season cut short with a knee injury. But after watching him in OTAs and minicamp, it appears as if Anderson is fully healed. Whenever he caught a short pass, Anderson darted up the field like nothing was wrong. Can Anderson supplant a few veterans on the wide receiver depth chart? That's a big question. But if he's able to show his YAC (yard after the catch) skills, it's going to be hard to deny him.

really interested in seeing how Arik Armstead pans out in the next few years. I'm yet to read or see any news saying that this was a great pick, at best, luke warm feelings.
