Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

4-3 DE might of fit Brooks skill set better, but 49ers have use top picks in 2015, 2016 and 2017 all on DL... and signed Elvis Dumervil to a cheaper deal and have Aaron Lynch (if he's not suspended), so the 49ers didn't need Brooks there.

While Packers are asking him to continue his 3-4 OLB position.

Brooks is the only guy where we paid to improve. The rest we just paid less to replace.

Would also add...REUBEN FOSTER is that young guy. That is the player we had a shot at, in a miraculous development in Round 1, but declined, traded down, and took Kevin King. So so disappointing.

Had we taken Reuben Foster, Brooks isn't here, IMO. Foster looks to be a very very special player.

Reuben Foster is not an OLB in our defense. He'd have taken the place of Jake Ryan thus having no effect on if we needed to bring in Brooks or not.

If you want to say Kendricks then I would have to agree based on the low paid garbage we had at that position. So, YES!...we paid to improve backup TE. I stand corrected, musccy.

King over Foster has a real chance to be much worse than Bulaga over Dez.

If we would of taken Foster he would of bitched about not attempting to improve CB enough...
If they take the CB he bitched about not getting another player that's doing well...

It doesn't matter what they do, there is a way to complain about it.

Ted's going all in!

As good as Ted is, filling the many holes through the draft just isn't doable.

Zero2Cool (16h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
