JIllg Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 9 hours ago, Forge said: Okay cool, I was about 5 off. Was already subtracting for rookies. That's still a good amount of space, even with front load on the contracts Whenever I did an offseason simulation, I couldn't utilize the space fully, even with front loaded contracts and sometimes including relatively unreasonable signings. I think that we are all aware that it is such an abundant resource that it must be used wherever possible to help supply us in future years when cap space will be a scarcer resource and with 1 year overpays that improve the team's depth and ceiling. Jimmie Ward isn't happening without it. Prolly not McKinnon, either (though Juice's contract may invalidate this line of thought). Getting to push a ton of money into this year's cap allowed for a silly overall deal that got a skillset that we were starving for without touching scarce resources. This includes the scarce value of draft capital because it also frees up one of our first 5 round picks, as we no longer NEED to select a pass catching RB or a versatile secondary player for depth in order to not be caught with our pants down. We can just go get the guy that we think has the best overall value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2lamanaki Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Maiocco wisely hedging his bets on where he thinks Richburg plays: The 49ers have not tipped their hand, yet, about where they envision Richburg playing. He is currently listed as a center/guard. He has not played guard since his rookie season, so it would figure that center would be the spot for him. The 49ers reached a contract extension with Kilgore in the offseason. He started every game last season at center. He might get a shot at guard. http://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/after-filling-needs-first-day-heres-what-expect-49ers-offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Let me ask you this, would you pay someone over 40 million to play a position they haven't played in like three or four years? And a position where they didn't have much success at? This is why I never understood the Richburg to G talks. Shanny must have liked how Richburg fared at C and wanted him there. Now, at times you draft tackles and draft them at guards and vice versa, but rarely does a big FA signing change positions. I think if we trade down, Wynn is a real possibility to be the starting RG.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Sure, but the odds of switching the position of a guy you pay THAT much money are slim to none. Unless you are a completely inept organization, which I would hope we are not lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Well, with Kilgore traded to the Fins, no doubt anymore! He is our C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the FO or Shanahan hasn't stated anything, but come on. Richburg will be the C. Signing Kilgore was a precaution. Signing Richburg is an upgrade. Knew it.

Staley-Garnett-Richburg-?-Brown So who will start at RG? Kilgore? Tomlinson? Magnuson? Rookie? Called it. LOL, now lets all start quoting @Forge's posts in this thread for the laughs......

In fairness, never said I thought he was going to play guard, only that the possibility existed. I said in the other thread, I have to wait until the dust settles and we know where he's playing. I just wasn't going to assume that he was going to play center though, that's all. MM certainly didn't help me, scaring me to death like he did. MM is a man of LIES!!!!! LIES I TELL YOU!
