I saw he was released by the Browns and was really intrigued because I loved him coming out of WASU. But then I looked at some PFF grades and saw he was rated very poorly in the run game. But I think he'll be solid depth behind Buckner with some versatility to play 1-6 technique in certain packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So we didn't put in a claim for Desir. Disappointing. Looks like this was our only claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's a little bit disappointing, I liked @Fureys49ers idea of going after Dorian Johnson on waivers. I guess he did clear waivers so we could still sign him (Johnson). I'm not seeing the upside with Xavier Cooper personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I wouldn't have minded putting in a request for Desir as others have mentioned. Heck I probably would have put a claim in on Kaaya (CAR) before Woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big9erfan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've been feeling for so long that we'd be jumping on the best CB to get cut, maybe even a good safety would allow us to put Ward back at corner. Are there no good corners available after 1000+ guys just got cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 1/2ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think DB could have been addressed better but I gotta say I think we crushed it this offseason with the changes we made to our roster. I know a lot of you are nitpicking just for the sake of talking about the moves that have happened this past week, but this has met my expectations for this team moving forward. Who cares if we didn't sign some guy cut by a team in the last couple days. Question: can we sign a guy like Brad Kayya, Brandon Allen or Kyle Sloter to the practice squad or do other teams have priority over us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys49ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think we can sign them to practice squad because I'm fairly certain that's what the Panthers just did with Kaaya. I agree with @48 1/2ers, I love what we've done this offseason and am just being picky right now with these possible waiver pick ups. The reality is unless we previously had an in depth scouting report on some of these guys or previous experience with them i think it was a long shot that these guys were improvements over what we already have. Plus you factor in the time it would take for these guys to get adjusted in our scheme and our coaching staff to learn each players individual playing style, strength and weaknesses and it's just more of a project than what you want to take on headed into season. Unless the player being added offered an obvious upgrade of talent to a position, it's probably easier and wiser to ride with what we know. With all that said, unless I'm mistaken none of the guys I previously mentioned have been picked up yet so there's still a chance haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they clear waivers, I believe that they can sign with any practice squad (I asked y2 the same thing), however we have already signed Mullens to the PS, so I don't think it's likely that we carry two quarterbacks on there (though Brandon Allen was somewhat impressive for Jax this preseason - wasn't aware he had been cut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I don't really care about the waiver...those are all young guys that you're essentially signing with a hope and a prayer. I do find it funny that with all the good teams cutting players, the one guy we claim is from a team that will likely be as bad as us lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fureys49ers Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So now there is Williams, McNichols, Mullens, Nwachukwu on our PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW21 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 McNichols is a win. Hopefully he get in his playbook and is ready to work with Breida when Hyde has his yearly injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
