What's up fellas.........hope everyone is okay and somewhat over the game on Sunday.  We have a strong team so I'm quite sure our future will be bright. 
 
Anybody who thinks Window is closing needs to realize we will be competitng and in The thick of things for a Super Bowl for the rest of this decade. That's till 2020
 
I don't think we've seen the best Harbaugh-led team out there yet. I think it will be this upcoming one or the year afterwards.

There's a lot of veterans but the key core is made up of younger players still developing. It'll help that a salary cap guru was promoted within too.

Does anyone really think the window closing? We sported the most talented roster in the nfl this year and with 14 picks, cats coming back from injuries and kaep getting more experience, the team is gonna get better IMO which is scary :smokin

Nobody in here I hope not. But I read columns and *** clowns will imply its closing.
 
anybody think Lawrence Okoye will pan out??????


yeah i think there's a good chance especially with them finding ways to keep him around. look at what these coaches have done with players like tramaine brock, tony jerod eddie, demarcus dobbs, alex boone, etc

Str8 overreaction Monday. The window is closing for a couple players like frank and justin though. Both are straight warriors but franks body really can't handle much more. I think justin can play at his same level for at least two more years though.
 
Is it fair to say Ray McDonald is as good as anybody at that 5 technique. Justin Smith is one of the best but Ray never gets talked about.
 
ray definitely a stud. dude was playing with a torn bicep the whole year as well and will have surgery soon.
 
Also I watched the game again and what was Whitner doing peaking into the backfield when, Russell Wilson escaped and threw that deep ball go Baldwin. He has lapses in judgement that are crazy make you pull your hair out. So I'm officially ready to let him walk and draft safety in the 1st round. Have the Ammo to get a Clinton-Dix but that's wishful thinking.
 
Ray has always been underrated, overshadowed by those around him, but appreciated by the faithful. And I thought Dorsey beasted this year. He didn't get much play with the nickel package but he was immovable at times in the run game and played with a lot fire.
 
dorsey has done a good job of what he was asked to do but he's not a real 3-4 nose tackle and i dont know how i feel about ian williams either. i personally hope they grab a NT at some point in the draft.

i think adding depth to the trenches on both sides is always a good thing.

the seahawks kill the niners with zone runs whether it's inside or outside. would be nice to have a real NT that can blow up the gaps, take on the center and the guard to let bow and pat roam free.

He's definitely not a 3-4 guy but we don't really even play a 3-4 d, we just use 3-4 personnel. Ian Williams went down pretty early, he has a lot of potential we did extend him to 2015. I wouldn't mind drafting a nt though.

That's one guy you don't want problems with. Seen him in person, massive dude. Him and Bradshaw used to turn up for Jersey lounges/clubs.

yea but as big as he was, a terrible short yardage back. I've watched him get stuffed on 3rd and 4th and short so many times...smh

Backup QB: Stash Murray, Fales, Gilbert, Pachall without investing a high pick, sans AM11.

C: Besides the three names mentioned in the article...Swanson, Martin, Bodine.

S: Team with Reid. Won't get Ha-Ha. Pryor seems unlikely as well. Could look at Exum for value (injury plagued in 2013), Loston (LSU teammate but takes bad angles), Bailey, or Bucannon. I feel the last name is a possible fit for San Francisco. Deone may not run well but he has a knack for the football, sure tackler, sturdy frame.

CB: Love T-Brock's progress. Dennard is the obvious play if you can secure him (possibly trade up). Physical like Talib. Or Gilbert, Verrett, Roby. Colvin's injury presents value in the middle to late rounds. Fuller, Huff, Gaines if you wait to select a corner.

WR: I believe in Q. Patton. This is a very deep receiver class. Can go early for KB or Evans. Can wait for Beckham or Landry (LSU) guys. Coleman is a big target from Rutgers available in the middle rounds. Moncrief, Matthews, Adams. The possibilities are endless. WR is ripe in 2014.

49ers' offseason financial, WR plans
January, 20, 2014
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN.com

The San Francisco 49ers were oh-so-close to making another appearance in the Super Bowl, but now they are left looking ahead to the 2014 campaign. As is the case with most teams, the Niners are going to have some difficult financial decisions to make during the offseason.

"Running back Frank Gore and defensive end Justin Smith are older and winding down. Anquan Boldin, can't do without him, is a free agent. Colin Kaepernick will be on the last season of his rookie contract," wrote Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle. "Harbaugh will be negotiating a contract extension, and who knows how that will go? Could get contentious, considering that owner Jed York, like his uncle Eddie DeBartolo, does not lose well."

As far as how the Niners should handle their WR corps, ESPN NFL draft analyst Kevin Weidl thinks the team should target a wideout in the draft:


Kevin Weidl
2014 Draft Needs: NFC West
"The 49ers have a strong pair of possession-type receivers in Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree. Boldin is slated to be a free agent and general manager Trent Baalke must make a decision on whether to bring back the 33-year-old who is still giving strong production. Even if the 49ers do bring Boldin back, there is still a need to add a true vertical threat to accommodate QB Colin Kaepernick's strong arm and stretch the field. Florida State's Kelvin Benjamin and potentially Penn State's Allen Robinson (who still needs a full evaluation) could be viable options in the late-first-round range. LSU's Odell Beckham, Clemson's Martavis Bryant and Rutgers' Brandon Coleman would be nice fits in the Day 2 range. Bryant is very interesting and we still need to do a full evaluation on him, but he has loose hips, an extra gear and a very wide catching radius. He comes with some drops and a little bit of baggage, but his game resembles that of the late Chris Henry from the Cincinnati Bengals."


Salary-cap issues for 49ers
January, 21, 2014
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN.com

On Monday, we touched on how the San Francisco 49ers may approach the draft in effort to find talent on the cheap, because rookie contracts are inherently more affordable in the short term than re-signing a veteran or inking a free agent. The salary cap is going to come into play for the Niners both this offseason and next offseason, because other rookie deals are running out.

"[M]any of the 49ers’ young, talented players – who to this point have been playing on relatively affordable rookie contracts – are now eligible for contract extensions," wrote Matthew Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. "That group includes quarterback Colin Kaepernick and several other young, potentially pricey players such as linebacker Aldon Smith, guard Mike Iupati and wide receiver Michael Crabtree. All of those players are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents after the 2014 season.

"The situation will make it difficult for the team to re-sign all of the players in line to become free agents in March, a list that includes wide receiver Anquan Boldin, safety Donte Whitner, cornerback Tarell Brown and kicker Phil Dawson."

Center Jonathan Goodwin is another unrestricted free agent who could be shown the door, if the two sides can't agree on the right price.

As for Kaepernick, ESPN 49ers reporter Bill Williamson expects the young quarterback to get a big payday, which, of course, would impact their salary cap:


Bill Williamson
Kaepernick is going to get paid
"49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has done enough to get paid among the league’s highest-paid quarterbacks. There was question about that early in the season. But there shouldn’t be. Kaepernick has led the 49ers to one Super Bowl appearance and two NFC title games in less than two full seasons as a starter. He is a dynamic player who is not in his prime. He will get paid accordingly."


Could Mangini coach again?
January, 23, 2014
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN.com

Former New York Jets and Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini spent the 2013 season as a senior offensive consultant for the San Francisco 49ers. Apparently, they still see some coaching potential in Mangini, as his role could have been altered, if the Niners' coaching staff had changed this month.

"[Mangini] was considered for a move to quarterbacks coach, sources told CSNBayArea.com on Wednesday," wrote Matt Maiocco. "One source said moving Mangini to quarterbacks coach and promoting quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst to offensive coordinator was an option for coach Jim Harbaugh’s reshuffling of the coaching staff if the 49ers lost offensive coordinator Greg Roman. The source said he does not believe Harbaugh plans to make any changes."

Roman was expected to be one of the hotter candidates to move from coordinator to head coach this year, but that hasn't come to fruition, since he's not believed to be in the mix for the only HC job left (Browns).

What is particularly interesting about this report is the notion of Mangini working with quarterbacks. Yes, he began his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant for one year with the Baltimore Ravens in 1996, but he spent the next eight years coaching defensive players before spending five years as a head coach.

Mangini turned only 43 on Sunday, so it's entirely possible that he could work his way back into a coaching gig, if he doesn't turn his focus to the front office.

Not a fan of Loston. I've seen him look bad in coverage several times. I see Buchanon being able to fill the void a departing Hitner would leave.

Dennard is good but I wouldn't move up for him. Colvin could be a good 4th or late 3rd pickup to stash. I don't see Gilbert or Verrett being had late in the 2nd or 3rd. Roby has the athleticism and speed for the position but his technique is :x. I really like Fuller's game if he can just stay healthy. Just bowed out of the Senior Bowl because of injury. If Culiver continues to develop...

I like Patton and compared to what AJ did for us, he's def on the right track. With that said, one receiver needs to be taken within the 1st two rounds and one later on also. I'd like A-Rob in the 1st if we don't move up. KB is becoming more of a pipe dream. Martavis Bryant in the late 3rd or 4th wouldn't be bad either


If D-Line is the move 1st round, then I'd pray Tuitt would fall to us. He'd be the ideal heir apparent to Justin, strong can set the edge and rush the qb, with tank playing de/olb position and Quinton dial playing anywhere along the line

How could I forget Jimmie Ward for another potential SF safety prospect.

Yeah, I don't love Loston either. Took horrible angles against A&M. The tape doesn't lie.

Fuller played his entire senior season with a hernia.

Stillin (Eagles fan) loves Allen Robinson and he watches PSU a lot. Bryant is one of my sleeper picks. He came out too early because of kid(s). Work ethic and focus are knocks on Bryant.
