  1. To see Evans take a deal for $14 million a year from the 49ers - 60 cents on the dollar from his last Bucs contract, before incentives - makes me think he wanted out and Tampa Bay wasn't going to be able to re-sign him. They could've matched or exceeded that without any heavy lifting. Brock Purdy checked the, Elite QB box and Shanahan checked the elite play caller box. Mike Evans is going to get fed in this offense!

  3. Roman Hemby, RB, Indiana is the UDFA RB I'd target. He's a one cut runner with speed and natural receiving skills.

  4. Are the 49ers going to make any FA signings on day 2 ? Trey Hendrickson, Jaquan Brisker, Rasheed Walker, J. Bosa, Cam Jordan. Are they done with their big signing? How about trades? I could see them trading a couple 4th round picks. I don't see them liking 4 different players within #127 and #139.

    1. I'm not entirely sure, but I read somewhere that they can only talk to five players during this time.

    2. I'm curious to see what they do at DT. They clearly wanted Franklin-Myers, so see a need for an upgrade with a penetrating type DT. Options are pretty slim in FA though.

    3. If they make any signings at all I think it will be one of the 3 DEs I listed. Does anyone else think they will trade a couple of 4th round picks?

    4. Yes I think they'll trade at least one of those 4ths as well Coach. Could be for anything though - package to move up, to move back, or for a player.

  5. I think it's safe to say Shanahan felt he needed an X WR after attempting to trade up for TMac. Mike Evans was my #1 F/A target and Shanahan has the best X WR in the league.

    1. They've added more blue chip talent, so I'm happy.

      Now just need to start finding some young blue chippers as well.

    2. What type of WR do you think he's going to draft? Gotta be an X right?

    3. I think they can go whichever direction they want. Evans will take the bulk of X reps, so not a lot of room for another X to see the field a lot unless they have some versatility. But no harm planning ahead. But I think a guy that can play all 3 would be more useful in 2026. I think Boston has that versatility, as do Cooper and Bernard.

      I think it does mean they don't need to go WR at 27 now. Still could, but don't have to.

  6. Mike Evans - good stop gap signing if he stays healthy... likely a1 year deal. He should be a good pairing with Ricky. Solid signing... not amazing but these are the type of moves that make you a solid team. Does this make KC Concepcion/Germie Bernard type receiver more likely? I would expect so.
