QB Nick Mullens was solid again and had a nice touchdown pass to TE Ross Dwelley in red zone. Mullens read the coverage and threw Dwelley open, letting it go just before he came out of his break. The type of anticipation and throw that can go a long way in tight quarters like RZ.

Question though for all. The #2 TE in this offense is usually primarily a blocker. Celek. Toilolo. Does anyone think Kyle might start using a 2nd TE more as a receiver?

Shanahan on Ross Dwelley, who impersonated George Kittle down in practice down the stretch of last year (Kittle was banged up): "He's a legit NFL player and he's gonna help us."

Almost sounds like he's got the 2nd TE spot already locked up, meaning it's a race between Toilolo and Smith at TE3 if they keep one. Both have the blocking and receiving ability but wouldn't get many snaps, maybe even inactive.

It's possible the team see Toilolo as a guy who they could have on speed dial if necessary and then they keep Smith on the roster to prevent him from getting plucked off the PS. That is, depending on the pre-season. If he struggles, he may just wind up being a PS candidate after all.

I don't see anyone plucking Smith and throwing him on their 53-man active roster.

I've been reading that Tyree Mayfield has been the backup FB as well....if Juice goes down they need a FB.

When Juice was out last season Kittle would line up in the backfield. Kittle did not look smooth trying to run block out of an I formation. Kyle then went with a lot of traditional 2 TE sets. So far in his SF career, it seems Kyle prefers having a FB instead of a second TE on the field.

Behind the notable names and the draft pick, Tyree Mayfield flashed with the backups for a big play Sunday, per The Athletic's Matt Barrows:
"One of the longest pass plays of the day came during seven-on-seven drills when C.J. Beathard connected with Mayfield for a big gain down the right sideline. As we've written before, Mayfield, an undrafted rookie from Wyoming, is a sneaky choice for the 53-man squad because he does a little of everything, including playing fullback."

I think it would be a mistake to cut Toilolo
