  1. Razor,
    Thanks for the 53M chart.
    UC,
    Youth and speed were essential for the 49ers and they addressed that in April. Let's go!

  2. I think the roster will look a little different by Thurs. I would love to see the 49ers pick up Cole Strange off of waivers. He would free up one spot. He could replace both a back up C and OG

  3. I understand that cutting Morstead was just roster move and they will resign him later this week. I think he is terrible, I hope they are looking around for another punter

    1. That was genius. I suspect the new CBA will change that rule and name if after Shanahan.

  5. Cutting Sebastion Valdez is interesting considering he has reportedly played better than anyone else in camp to date. I understand favoring draft picks but meritocracy has to matter at some point.
    That said few have access to the practice field on a daily basis.

    1. Meritocracy bit Zakelj finally.

    2. I'm with you on this Shoup.
      Gut-wrenching if we lose Valdez. I have seen him make more plays in preseason than for eg: Robert Beal Jr.

      Plus Beal has 2 years on his rookie contract while Valdez will have 3 years and one more year as an RFA. So I don't understand. Maybe coaches have more info, but I just hope we get him to PS and then at some point get him to the 53.

      Zakelj had two things going for him...I believe Adam Peters said that he was as close to a Gold helmet designation as could be and was Purdy's roommate. So I guess the coaches were hoping for the Chemistry to develop organically. But it was not to be.

    3. Shoup,
      Regarding Valdez. Lombardi reported that Valdez was practicing with the 1st team on Monday which could have been interpreted in many ways. I took it as a vote of confidence. But in any event hopefully the kid passes waivers and the 49ers bring him on the PS. It was obvious that he outplayed others as you mentioned.

  6. Marques Valdes-Scantling is deciding whether to sign with the 49ers or the Steelers.
    I'm a hard no on the 49ers signing Valdes-Scantling. He's far too inconsistent as a pass-catcher.
