Just a swap. New face. That's all.

Tom Compton's salary-cap hit is projected to be a bit bigger than Mike Person's was, so the 49ers ran a guard swap here. Compton is a Shanahan guy: Washington drafted Compton in 2012 (Shanahan era) and then Compton joined Atlanta in 2016, when Shanahan was there. https://t.co/2dwykBvGU0

Lol so true. Every year there are these types of signings and yet there we were in the super bowl.

Wonder if the team saved any money? This is a Kyle move right here.

I wish that Lynch and Shanahan would just use the 31st pick, our perhaps trade it for a 2nd rounder in ordered to get a quality guard whose specialty is pass protection. He needs to think about his QB and keeping him upright.

moves like this tell me that is what the plan is. this guy although being paid starter money is almost surely not being planned on being the starter in a year where we need an improvement there. they are planning on using a higher draft pick on the starter. either pick 31 or a high second.

We literally know nothing about how Compton will play. Just like you didn't know how Brunskill would play. Chill out. It's $500k. lol

Just swapping depth. Still, need a starting G.

This looks dumb on the surface but based on Paraag's and Kyle's knowledge there must be a reason they did this. They either know something we don't or they just felt Person wasn't going to be in the picture. Just because they signed Compton doesn't mean they keep him. They'll take a look and cut him if they don't like what they see.

We paid and extra $500k for a worse player lol. Why pay more for depth when you have the same s**t on your team

It's not end of the world or anything it's just a dumb move that wasn't necessary. Like I keep saying outside of getting the 13th overall pick they haven't made this team better then it already was AND they have fixed any issue (actually made it worse) OH and they actually created more issues moving a blue chip player

Now that we have 2 first round picks Lynch and Shanahan are in a good position to score some great talent. At 13, I don't know where the need goes? BPA if we're able to resign Sanders, and WR if we don't.

We need to get a good guard, like we were saying, at 31. Having a guard who is actually good at pass protection next to Richburg would really help to solidify the OL.

Pretty big G 6'6 315
Was a starter for the Vikings in 2018
played in 14 games last year of which he started 5 games ( he finished the season as a starter)
He has played every position on the line except C
He is better at Run Blocking than Pass protection
It appears he is a very solid Backup
I agree that at this point Brunskill would likely have the upper hand to start over him
