Damn. Really like that. MAYBE could've used a third year

WOW NICE! ;)

Ok- don’t know anything about this guy- he any good?

Would've liked to have seen more term but I understand why he may have been reluctant to do so.

Seems like we're taking all the risk here paying him like a starting LT without him having proven that he is one, but that's just the nature of FA.

Buys us a little time.

LOVE IT!!!!

15 per? Seems like a good deal. Folks, learn me up on this man

Chiefs went out of their arm length range for this one. Very interesting.

Love the price at least. Andy, help him out some.

Crow will be pleased!

They are going to draft at tackle and bring him along slowly

This is the guy i wanted

Draft is going to be defense heavy.

Perfect move.

Not a crazy contract. Doesn’t stop you from drafting an improvement.

Also, opens the door to extend him long term if he works out.

I much prefer this to Dan Moore, who you know is like the 24th best left tackle. May be more to tap into with Jaylon.

We will upgrade at RB, Veach said he’s always going to find ways to upgrade weapons for Pat.

Based on what little I know of him, it seems like a solid move.

He came in and did some great spot duty for 49ers in backing up Trent Williams

12 career starts at 27 years old…swing tackle….

Had to get someone but I’m in total wait and see mode, not exactly hyped…

Moore and Kingsley on the left side….yeesh.

How are you all getting this news when Twitter is down? Pat mcAfee just said on his show a lot of fake news going around

So, besides Mahomes, who is getting restructured?

Nice. I'm just happy LT is addressed immediately with a young ascending player.

:facepalm:

It feels like Veach is having a hard staggered timeline with our signed players and when they are receiving their big cap hits.

Jaylon Moore has some solid PFF grades

overall - 74

pass - 73

run - 70

Yep - I see a RB at pick 63 or 66...or packaging those picks to get a guy.

Solid move. This is what we needed. The vision comes together.

i mean... the plus side is when he did play in SF he looked good.

the problem is he didn't play a whole lot at all. it's definitely a gamble but i'd honestly rather this than overpay for some scrub who will hamstring us for the next 5 years.

at minimum he provides a baseline which is something i think reid can work with. im fine with it all things considered.

The opportunity in front of him is absolutely insane.

I mean if Williams doesn't go down last year, he's probably going to be bouncing around looking for a 1 year deal as a backup somewhere.

Now he's looking at being one of the most publicly scrutinized OTs in the league as Mahomes blind-side protector. And if he does that at an average or better level, he's in a position to cash in massively for the next 3-5 years thereafter.

I mean if that kid isn't busing his ass this off-season, he's not paying attention. This isn't the end for him - this is a beginning and it's the sort of thing that could bring him a $100 million contract someday fairly easily.

Any advanced stats to give some context on this guy?

I couldn't care less about his run-blocking. Can he help keep Pat from getting antsy after 1.5 secs every play?

Schefter on Threads

27yrs old - former 5th rounder- PFF grades him overall at 75... Seems a pretty solid contract for a solid LT. Not likely going to the ProBowl but I'd think we did good here given our options.

The Chiefs REALLY do not want to rely on a 1st rd LT from this class

HELL YEAH

His new name:

Silverback Jr

Stepped in for the GOAT and did an acceptible job. Will hopefully stabilize the position and by then we have an up and comer.

If he really blossoms here then extend.

Yep. Of all the options that actually made it to the tampering period he makes the most sense, given the caveat that teams are apparently sick of Cam Robinson for reasons.

Thanks for reminding me about threads. I refuse to join bluesky

This means our 1st rounder will almost certainly be DLine, right? Like 75%?

He was apparently the highest rated Niner hitting FA:

Meanwhile, Moore was a solid fill-in at left tackle, surrendering only one sack and 10 pressures on 154 opportunities

I'm cautiously optimistic, but please pair with a draft pick by the end of the 3rd. I think last year proved how important depth is and we need a development option for long term.

I know the common thought is DT in the 1st (please no DE), but if Burden or Egbuka are within range of 31...

It opens them up for looking (again) at developmental guys in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

And this draft isn't any better/worse than any others for those guys on the 2nd day.

Where you get yourself in trouble is if you start looking at those guys as 1st day players and they simply aren't.

If Milum or Williams or Ersery or Jackson or Mbow; maybe Belton or Grant -- hell, even that absolute giant out of BC, Trapilo, is there at the late 2nd or into the 3rd -- go ahead and give 'em a look.

Now you have some time and now you can start looking at the upside they might have long-term.

4 sacks allowed and 0 penalties in 681 snaps across 3 seasons

Well, he'll surely be in line for the HoF now that he's a Chief.

Tell em Clayster

I found out from the comment section on RedTube

PFR says that he's made a dozen starts on the offensive line over his career, but they don't say whether those were at left tackle or some other position. Do you know how many starts he had at left tackle, or how many snaps?

On a related note, I've started reading heavily about the draft, and I'm not seeing anybody who projects high or even mid-round as a left tackle. Every review of a tackle says something like "will probably move to the right side" or "could be a solid right tackle". Who is even available in the first three rounds that we would draft as a left tackle? That Trapilo fellow is almost the only one I've seen other than low-round developmental guys. (I haven't looked at guys expected to go in the top half of Round One, by the way. Not any of my business.)

ROFL

Overview

Athletic tackle/guard prospect who is at his best when he's allowed to play on the move and utilize his athletic ability to create angle advantages in space. He's fluid and consistent on play-side climb-ups to seal the linebacker and has the potential to help create back-side tracks for one-cut runners. He has huge hands and adequate length but needs to win early with those hands or he can be overtaken by stronger defenders. If Moore can eliminate his leaning, he has the technique and traits to be competitive as a blocker. He might need to prove he can offer tackle/guard roster flexibility in order to garner and maintain a backup role.

Strengths

Three-year starter.
Rockets out of stance as run and pass blocker.
Pass slides are quick but quiet.
Foot quickness to handle mirror duties against active rushers.
Heavy hands with pinpoint placement when he's first.
Possesses massive 11-inch hands to clamp into opponent's frame.
Lateral agility is a strength.
Can make all the move blocks on play-side and back-side.
Smart player with solid technique and feel for angles.
Centers up blocks and runs feet to secure.

Weaknesses

Sets up narrow in his pre-snap stance.
Needs to work on keeping feet under his pads.
Defaults to forward leaning to brace against the rush.
Falls forward and out of the play when hands get wiped out early.
Results much more erratic against stronger foes.
Power players display ability to dislodge him with leverage.
Would like to see more consistency as block finisher.

Does this mean our 1st round draft is wide open?

I’m thinking RB now?

Is he anyone good?

I assume you found this by searching "Jail and More"?

Kaleb Johnson from Iowa... Kareem Hunt clone if you watch him play, but seems a little faster.

Im assuming most of his starts are at LT since Silverback was out 8 or so games this year

1 sack and 10 pressures on 154 opportunities, BUT you guys need to keep in mind that he was protected in Rat Jr’s offense.

They run the ball and that’s the first thing defenses attack when they play the 49ers. Andy has got to help this team by getting a legit threat at RB and going back to the 2017 offense when Kareem was a rookie and helped balance the offense.

Threads isn’t something I have ever used but will check it out

Nobody with a penis uses bluesky. I find it hard to believe there’s sports news on there

Gotta be an improvement. Let's hope it is.

I'd say best player available unless it's a position we absolutely don't need. Probably not drafting a QB, guard or center with the 1st pick.

Everything else should be considered.

RB?!? After what the Chiefs got w/ Pacheco in the 7th round? No way, need to fix pass rush or if a monster BPA drops to 31 we draft that. Also, if a stud WR is there need to draft that. This signing really frees up the draft.

I definitely agree RB needs to be drafted just not in 1st round

Something about a stepsister getting stuck in a washing machine

That's not entirely true. The wannabe chicks with dics are on there.

Cool, thanks. They're showing him with five starts last year, so that would make sense if it was at LT, and that's enough for Veach to study, I bet. In the three previous years he got two or three starts per year. I don't follow 49er line injuries, so I was wondering where he played. PFR is not perfect, but they list his position each year as either "T" or "OL", not "LT".

49ers webzone is reporting it as reported by Albert Breer of SI.

He’s solid and will be available based on his health track record.

That’s what we need. A high floor. I think this will do.

It’s a one year deal with a team option.

100% agree, we need a MUCH stronger running game and a firm commitment to it even when it isn't working great, best thing Pat can have as a QB is a great run game

Noticed something real interesting about mahomes’ contract. He has very high guarantees the next 3 years. But he has low base salary virtually unguaranteed the next 3 years.

I feel like every year we’re give Mahomes the option to guarantee a back year of his contract. For example you could move $20m to 2028 and guarantee that he’ll get paid about $50m when he’s 33. And then repeat the same thought the next 2 years. Clever way to build in some flexibility.

That being the case you’ve got tons of flexibility with mahomes’ contract since his back years are so light.

And by all accounts he was MUCH better at LT than RT.

So the aggregate stats aren't as good because he struggled in his brief stints at RT.

He should be better than all the beef slop we put out there this year

Don't know what either of them are

According to the 9er fans online, Shanny game planned giving him help and scheming around him. And was a bum when he played rt for them.

I don't know that he has a high floor because of how different SFs offense is than ours.

We don't know how he can do the vertical sets we utilize. If he struggles with that transition his floor is possibly the bench or LG.

Woah woah woah woah woah - WHAT?! You mean it's possible to do that?!

I think at this point looking back we really ****ed up not keeping Orlando Brown Jr.

I don't know enough to have an opinion. Such a low sample size. Gotta be better than we got and he's pretty cheap.

That was Orlando’s fault. He was offered way more than he actually received, and then out of spite left.

Well, the Chiefs are going to find out for themselves now, hopeful he pans out better than the J. Taylor acquisition

Brown signed for less money

Maybe in allowing Trent Williams to go to SF. We ended up with Thuney though, so hard to say.

Maybe. We did win a SB without him and made it to another. He's been kind of MEH in Cincinnati.
