I can't see any other team plucking him for their active roster.

This is another long shot I'm really interested in seeing first hand. If, and it's a long shot, he can make Juzczyik expendable - conceivably we can do a Breida-like kind of trade and get a 5th rounder as in the Breida to Miami trade. Hope hope. We're going to be drafting late in the first round -- hopefully for a long time, and this is one way to get some extra draft resources.

Juice has the 5th highest cap hold on the team and will be a free agent after next year. The 49ers have to have options which they don't right now. It remains to be seen if Hokit is an option or not.

Well, I"m just hoping he pans out. If he does, man o man will that be to our advantage. Get a younger player at Juszcyk's position, which is kind of a hybrid RB/TE/Fullback kind of position. Ross Dwelly was really critical in the AZ games and to have a bit more depth at TE/Fullback is really a positive. Nobody in the NFL really plays the fullback position much anymore the way Kyle does - most teams are going 3 wide. So I don't think we can get a good compensation for Juice if our UDFA fullback pans out. Just my opinion.

Did a little research on NFL Draft Profiles...here's a few guys with a chance.

CB DeMarkus Acy (MO). Has the size 6-2-195, decent speed, coverage and toughness. Was All-SEC CB in 2018. Needs to work on recovery speed/skills.

S Jared Mayden ('Bama) Blossomed his Sr season after spot playing earlier. He'll need some coaching up, but could be a dark-horse roster candidate. Review said he's not a 1-deep FS guy, but we have Ward for that.

DT Darrion Daniels (Neb) Not as big as it says in 'Zone UDFA Tracker...he goes 6-3 @ 310-315. Needs coaching up, but is a willing defender who doesn't give up on plays. He'll need to learn good techniques then he might be a pretty good player.

RB Ahmed (WA) Saw him play a couple of times. Can impress with speed/cutting abilities, but consensus seemed to be he leaves a lot of big plays on the field. Can catch the ball and return it.

Yeah I'm not talking about trading Juice. But he will be a free agent. According the Athletic, the 49ers did try tight ends at that backup spot. And they worked marginally. Most tight ends are 6'4". Hokit is a FB.

Lorenzo Neal is 5' 11", Juice is 6'1", Hokit is 6'1". Not long limbed. Built like a brick s**thouse and loves contact.

Juszczyk is a fulback and is one hell of a lead blocker for sure. TE's usually don't have that kind of skillset to block from a running start. Having said that, I was impressed with Juszczyk's crafty abilty not only to lead block and blow linebackers and DLinemen up, but his influence blocking was pure genius in the playoffs. That no block that sprang Mostert was pretty halarious against the vikings. I wish we ran more againt KC though.

I really like Jared Mayden. Has experience at CB and Safety, picked off 4 passes in 2019, I think he's the next undrafted player to make the roster.

Will he be free safety or strong safety?

I mocked Mayden to the 49ers back in March, touting the fact that he is a hybrid player who could play either spot, unlike Marcell Harris. I love the pickup because of the versatility. Harris is the only safety on the team who hasn't been able to play both spots. Ward, Moore, and Tartt all have flipped FS/SS based on the schematics we've run, but Harris doesn't have the range to play single high. I think Mayden does.

Yes sir

Good write up

I thought the S from Missouri, Ronnell Perkins, was joining the Niners? Maybe still TBD.

Juice is really on another level. Great hands, extremely smart blocker. He's almost as crucial to our offense as Kittle.

Totally agree. If we can get another Juszczyk as a backup, I think that player would be worth a TE spot. I don't know if the new CBA rules have changed any of the total roster numbers you can have now, but shoot, if we can have two of those hybrid Juszczyk's -- that would be a huge advantage in this offense.

Any news on Salvon Ahmed, he is listed as on the roster on every site except the official site and then they didnt announce his signing with the others, did something happen?

Maiocco just said a little earlier today that he's signing but later today.
