Not much to do now other than speculate about our draft picks and listen to the blather around BA and his imminent contract signing. Or not. I do like the Mustapha signing. He looks like the real deal ..read more

Well, after all my bitching and prevaricating about their 1st round pick, the 49ers pretty much did what I wanted in these first 3 rounds. Get offensive line help, corner help, and WR help. They just didn’t do it in the order I preferred. Pearsall sounds like a solid WR, Green seems to be a guy who has improved markedly every year he plays, and Dominick Puni gave up 0 sacks in over 700 snaps in college. Sweet. Really like the Puni pick. Trent Williams is great but we need a backup. Puni looks like the real deal. These draft grades are not worth the vapor they are printed on but this looks good ..read more

Hmmmmm. Consensus is all over the board on this Rickey Pearsall pick. The guy sounds very good, he played against Purdy in HS, Brandon Aiyuk loved the pick, and he immediately jumps to the 2A WR option. Obviously this is bad news for Danny (the) Grey (ghost), our speed guy who has done nothing in his 2 year career. 13 games, 7 targets, 1 catch. So he’s likely on the scrap-heap with Dante Pettis and Jalen Hurd. My thoughts (stop me if you haven’t heard this 1,000,000 times) are we need offensive line (mainly tackle) depth and cornerback depth. O line, because Trent Williams isn’;’t getting any ..read more

Gunny, the closer we get to the draft, the less and less the pronostispewers go away from the 49ers drafting an offensive tackle. a few sites have us even taking a DE. This after spending the free agency period addressing the defense, the defense, and the defense. They also seem to think we are weak at safety as the Niners were supposedly ‘disappointed’ in Hufanga’s play before he got hurt, and rookie Brown’s after. But sure, depth would be nice. However, they did mention the CB position and how bad things got by the playoffs. That IS a concern as we were down to a journeyman . Mooney is a stu ..read more

Well, there is this. Brock Purdy apparently saved a newscaster and her dog from getting attacked by a coyote in the Bernal Heights neighborhood where Purdy was filming (surprise) a John Deere commercial. “We’re shooting this commercial on a hill on the outside of the city,” Purdy said. “I see this thing trotting by that has a big tail. I was like, ‘That looks like a mini wolf.’ No one else was gonna scream, so I screamed, ‘Yo, there’s a coyote!’ That thing went running off. It could’ve been an ugly day on the shoot, but we saved her.” Turns out it was CBS News Bay Area anchor Sara Donchey ..read more

Well, nothing. Fuck OJ. Word on the street is we are looking to extend the contract of . . . Deommodore Lenoir!! Aiyuk? Well, still negotiating I suppose. At least the chatter has slowed. Just get the shit done. Anyhow, hearing reports that the Niners might ‘surprise’ the league and trade up for a tackle. REALLY?!? No shit, guys? The weakest part of this team is pass protection. Do something about it. I’d be happy if they drafted 5 linemen with their 11 picks. Anyhow, just wanted to get OJ’s mug off the blog. Have fun in hell, Juice. We shall meet soon ..read more

OJ Simpson died yesterday at the age of 76. Dead of cancer. The feel-good story out of Potrero Hill and CCSF who became a Hall of Fame running back for Buffalo, the first back to rush for over 2,000 yards (in a 14 game season no less), the first black spokesman for a major US company (Hertz), had a pretty strong acting career (Capricorn One, Roots, Towering Inferno), and hit comedy highs with Leslie Nielsen and the Naked Gun series then became a pariah for getting away with murder and ultimately doing time for the armed robbery of what used to be his memorabilia left a crazy legacy as a specta ..read more

Nope. No Brandon Aiyuk trade bullshit to bandy about here. Like all the hooraw around Nick Bosa last year, and Deebo the year before, this is all a media-fueled frenzy of steaming bullshit. They will sign him. I will say that my beef with those other signings is the fact it took so long. Why fuck around? Get the shit done in a timely manner. Both Deebo and Bosa suffered at the hands of the dragged-out negotiations. Do the deed and shut up about it. That way, this Twitter-Facebook-Instagram shenanigans will stop. 3-4 guys have restructured their deals, we have room, and Purdy doesn’t need to b ..read more
