Silverback

 

The 49ers are opting NOT to exercise the $10 million option bonus in Trent Williams’ contract, per Schefter. Williams’ salary cap number now will grow to close to $47 million, but the team is not overly concerned about it, and it still is planning to rework his contract before next month’s NFL Draft.

  1. Updated cap room, $28.9M after the 49ers declined Trent Williams' option bonus, before knowing Kirk & Waitman's terms, still expect a deal to get done with TW.

  2. Oh well, so much for the artificial deadline. Nothing to be any more concerned about today than yesterday, but sure wish they'd just get it sorted.

  3. If the 49ers are intent on keeping Trent, why wait until April before the draft? Will some current players be cut to make more room to satisfy TWs asking price? Just show a good sign of faith by working out a mutual agreement by taking care of him a.s.a.p.

    1. They're likely working on a new deal right now. As long as they're confident that he'll show up for training camp, there's no reason to not do a deal.

    2. Hopefully they work out a deal but I think this means they draft a LT this year.

    3. I only see one LT in this draft and that's Lomu.

  4. Just for fun, decided to do a draft where I only took guys I like more than where they are predicted to go in consensus.

    1. De'Angelo Ponds. Yeah, he's short. Yeah, he'll get beat in the NFL at times because of it. I don't care, he's an elite cover man and as feisty as it comes. Going to be a good one.

    2. Keylan Rutledge. Tough, physical mauler that can move. Type of interior OL that tends to be good.

    4a. De'Zhaun Stribling. Nice size, good speed and acceleration, nice release package. Been productive since his freshman year. Also an excellent blocker.

    4b. Eli Heidenreich. RB/WR that provides nice versatility and toughness, and someone that can replicate some of what CMC provides.

    4c. Mikail Kamara. Yeah, he's undersized and lacks length. But he's all effort all day, with nice hand usage and a good first step. Type of guy that's underappreciated for 10 years.

    4d. Devan Boykin. Ok, maybe I like Indiana players too much. But again, another guy that plays well above his tools. Instinctive NCB/S that knows where to be and makes stops.

    1. Boykin is being rated too low by the draft gurus in my opinion.

    2. Stribling enjoys blocking as much as Kittle.

    3. I think all those guys are currently underrated.

      I really like Stribling. Surprised he doesn't get talked about more.

  6. My first mock. I am doing this one a little differently. In rounds 1 and 2 I am taking the highest overall rated player from WRs, OL, Edge and S.
    Trades Pick 133 to Wash for picks 147 and 187
    Round 1 Blake Miller OT Clem
    Round 2 Gemmie Bernard WR Bama
    Rounds 4-6 I added DT and TE to the targeted position
    Round 4 #127 Chris McClellan DT Mizz
    Round 4 #138 L.T. Overton DE Bama
    Round 4 #139 Zakee Wheatley S Penn St
    Round 5 #147 Joe Royer TE Cinn
    Round 6 #187 Vincent Anthony Jr. Edge Duke
