LG- Andrew Norwell, Carolina 6'6, 325
One of the best guards in the game. Plays in a zone scheme in Carolina. We up the contract that Kevin Zeitler got last year from Cleveland to make him the highest paid guard in the league. PFF has him ranked as the 4th best guard with an 87.5 rating.
5 years, 62.5 million, 28 guaranteed.
RB- Dion Lewis (NE) 5'8, 195
He has had an excellent year in NE as a part time back with 803 yards with a 5.2 AVG and 5 rushing TD's as well as 26 catches for 174 yards with an 11.6 AVG and 2 TD's. I think this guy is ready to break out as a full time back. PFF has him at the 2nd best RB in the league with an 89.8 rating. I think he would have a Charlie Garner type of impact here when he signed with us where he averaged 1200 yards rushing and 550 yards receiving in his 2 years.
3 years, 13.5 million, 7 guaranteed
CB- Jonathan Joseph (Houston) 5'11, 200
Experienced vet. Brings stability to a young secondary. Still able to play at a high level.
2 years, 13 million, 7 guaranteed.
WR- Allen Robinson (Jak) 6'3, 211
He takes a one year prove it deal like Alshon Jeffery did to play with Jimmy G. He could immediately slot in as our #1 and give us a fearsome group with Robinson-Garcon-Goodwin-Taylor and give us a nice red zone weapon.
1 year, 10 million, 5 guaranteed.
RT- Austin Pazstor (ATL) 6'7, 308
Experienced backup OT.
2 years, 4 million
C- Ben Garland (ATL) 6'4, 300
3 years, 6 million
**We sign 2 legit starters (Norwell, Lewis) 2 guys who offer huge potential (Joseph, Robinson) and 2 talented backups familiar with this scheme (Garland, Pazstor)
LOSSES:
-Trade Arik Armstead for a 2019 5th round pick
-Trade Eli Harold for a 2019 7th round pick
-Carlos Hyde - Free agent
-Daniel Kilgore - Free agent
-Aaron Lynch - Free agent
-Dontae Johnson - Free agent
-Jimmy Ward - Cut
-Zane Beadles - Cut
**I like Armstead but we dont have a fit for him. He will be traded to a 3-4 team. Ward and his 8.5 million salary are gone. Hyde is a good back but simply isn't a fit. I hate to say it but he would be perfect in Seattle or Oakland for what they want and he will do well there.
RE-SIGN:
- Jimmy Garappolo 5 years, 125 million, 60 guaranteed
- Marquise Goodwin 4 years, 28 million, 16 guaranteed (extend)
- Jaquiski Tartt 5 years, 25 million, 15 guaranteed (Extend)
- Eric Reid 3 years, 9 million, 4.5 guaranteed *I like Reid and hopes he comes back. He can compete with Tartt at SS or Smith at WILL LB.
- Brandon Fusco 2 years, 9 million *Another nice guy to have back. He has played well and at the very least will offer value as a backup.
- Tank Carradine 1 year, 1.5 mil
- Brock Coyle 2 years, 4 mil
- Cassius Marsh 2 years, 2.5 mil
Draft:
1.10- Marcus Davenport, DE, USTA 6'7, 255
He is a legitimate 3 down LEO. He reminds me of Aldon Smith minus the meat-head stuff. He gives us a scary, SCARY D-line that is going to do some damage. Davenport is a former receiver with excellent speed off the edge. He destroys double teams. 4 years in a row drafting D-linemen? Oh well. This line is going to win alot of games for us and make our secondary 10x better than they are and will help to create turnovers. Davenport is only scratching the surface of his potential and when he fiqures it out he will be one of the best pass rushers in the league.
2016- 67 tackles, 10 losses, 6.5 sacks
2017- 55 tackles, 17.5 losses, 8.5 sacks.
2.58- Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas 6'5, 320
Immediate starter from day 1. Tough. Physical. Mobile. Leader. Love this guy.
3.70- Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama 6'0, 185
The best boundary corner on a stacked Alabama team. Lights out man coverage ability. Learns from Jonathan Joseph and is ready to start in a year.
2017- 40 tackles, 2 losses, 1 INT, 7 passes defensed.
3.71- Jeff Holland, SAM LB, Auburn 6'2, 250
Was Carl Lawson's backup last year and took over for him this year and was even better. Lawson has 20 tackles and 4 sacks this year as a 4th rounder for Cincinatti but I think Holland will provide more. This kid can play.
2017- 43 tackles, 11.5 losses, 8.5 sacks
4.128- Dalton Risner, RT, Kansas St 6'5, 300.
Smart former center. Mobile and fits this scheme.
5.132- Damon Webb, CB/S, Ohio State 5'11, 95
Great senior season with 56 tackles, 4 INT, ans 3 PD. Experienced and versatile
Rounds 6-7 TBD
ROSTER:
QB- Jimmy Garrapolo / CJ Beathard
LT- Joe Staley / Dalton Risner
LG- Andrew Norwell / Laken Tomlinson
C- Frank Ragnow / Ben Garland
RG- Josh Garnett / Brandon Fusco
RT- Trent Brown / Austin Pazstor
*I am hoping Garnett works on his physique and comes in ready to battle in camp. If he is stronger and more mobile he can be a great fit for us. If not, Fusco slides in and does a steady job at RG. Im not sure we extend Brown this offseason. If we want we can do it during the season depending on how his shoulder holds up. Pasztor has experience in this scheme and can start if needed
