I'd certainly make the call. But if I am gonna play in the $15 mil+ ballpark, I am gonna go Reader, Wilkins, L. Williams, and Onwenu first.

But opening up #18 is appealing to me. But I also think we may not get a better look at a RT prospect in the Burrow era: Latham, Fuaga, Mims, Guyton. Just pick one..

Thank you, I agree with you.

Bradley Bozeman is now available

He allowed 8 sacks last year and posted a 62.2 PFF grade.  Karras who is not a great Center allowed 6 sacks and posted a 67.4 grade.  Unless we can find someone significantly better than Karras, we should keep him at center.

Yikes, those sound like Kyle Cook sort of numbers...

Arik Armstead’s 85.6 pass-rushing grade (PFF) last season was a career-high and he ranks 10th all-time in #49ers’ history for sacks.

One of the NFL’s most versatile DL hits the open market. https://t.co/nqrOgbsmsd

Yes please to Arik Armstead.

BTW, as much as Bfine likes to act like he is better than Volson, his best game of his career was against Armstead.

Shows Volson has upside even if most want to write him off.

[The D.O.Z.]

Isn't Armstead often injured though? I seem to remember us wanting him the last time he was available but the gripe on him was he couldn't play a whole season?

If so, noooooo thank you!

[THE PISTONS]

I could see us signing a Samuel or Mooney at wr.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Armstead is certainly up there with Williams & Wilkins.

No more so than Tee Higgins from what I know.

I would not prioritize WR in FA. It is a deep draft. Rd 2 or Rd 3 easy. Plus  Jones and Iosivas are already here. 

But if a great value is staring us in the face, maybe. Or if ee have $$ left over or whiff on DTs.

Same here, get OL and DT in FA please.

We can draft WR and RB.

Armstead is good but it would have to be a team friendly deal.

For sure. I like how Katie does deals. I have faith.

Welcome to the AFCN Russell Wilson. He’s heading to Pittsburgh per Adam Schefter. The Broncos are paying most of his salary so it’s a Steeler friendly q year deal

It won't be that team friendly. He was due $17.6 and SF asked him to take a cut. He said no. They cut him. 

He is gonna want arount $17.6, I'd say. Though, there is like $10 mil in dead money.

Don't think we'll be players for him then. Maybe his former teammate Kinlaw tho??

If Tomlin can get to 9 wins with the QB’s he’s had Steelers a lock for the playoffs already with Wilson. So that is that. 6 more slots open in the AFC.

I think Wilson will struggle with AFCN defenses.
