So do you all see Balmer beating out Soap at DE or will he bulk up and beat out Franklin at NT? or DE-Balmer, NT-Soap, DE-Smith?
I think our best front 7 would might be in the 4-3: DE-Oliver, DT-Balmer, DT-Soap, DE-Smith, OLB-Brandon Moore, MLB-Willis, OLB-Lawson.
I just hate that we passed up on so many good players at 2 of our 3 biggest needs in 1)a pass rushing OLB and 2)a quality WR.

There are a few LB’s like a Henderson, Highsmith that could be guys to bring in too.

There seems to be a decent amount of talent that didn’t get drafted to atleast take chance on. So Way it seems Colvin pretty much just come in. So figure on maybe 6 more coming in then.
Who wasn’t drafted that Nolan an Co. Coached at senior bowl. Or who they had brought in for visits.

Mike…I’ve been thinking Colvin for a while now. Almost seems like a done deal with him coming in as a UDFA.

Nolan said they’ll look to add 6-7 UDFA’s.

I forgot all about Colvin. He could most def. come in if not drafted. We seemed to show a lot of interest in him.

Disagree Nashville. Balmer will start, Wallace as well just not sure when, good thing with that pick is Heitmann can move to guard if ever needed. Morgan will probably see time returning the ball.

Maybe a Drew Radovich OG from USC if he isn’t drafted and wants to stay local. Would be worth a look atleast.
Also a few others I hope don’t get drafted that we can go hard after once draft is completed.
QB- Paul Smith, Sam Keller
WR- Urritia, Bess, Grice-Mullen, Monk, Reynuad
OG- Young, Sosa, Radovich
DT/DE- Eric Foster(I would love to have him sign he has such a high motor and never quits on a play, would be a backup end in our system.)
S- Jamie Silva(had a slow 40) but is a straight out solid football player and a gamer., Marcus Griffin
K- Art Carmody(just for competition maybe guy go on practice squad and eventually take over for nedney)
These are all hopes on guys if they aren’t drafted I would like to see us go after anyway.

The 49ers draft in a nut shell:
Backup DE, Backup OG, Backup CB/starting FS?, Backup Center, 5th string WR w/character issues, and utility LB(with LB’s still available).

Mike is Cameron Colvin isn’t drafted, I say they bring him in. Apart from that maybe look at some of the Senior Bowl players coached that didn’t get drafted.

if it is to happen should be sometime this week. Going into the draft I heard that if they didn’t draft an inside linebacker, they’d make a run at Spikes.

Question now is with all of our picks gone. Who can be projected not to be picked in rest of draft and who are some of the undrafted free agents that we push hard for to sign right after the draft is completed.
