Addressing your San Francisco 49ers comments http://www.49erscheapstore.com/nick-bosa-jersey-cheap , questions and concerns in our NFL free agency edition of the Niners Nation offseason mailbag."NFL free agency seemed like it was over before it began on Wednesday, with the vast majority of deals reported during the two-day negotiating period. The San Francisco 49ers made their fair share of splashes, most notably trading for Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford and signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander. After holding a brief question and answer session on Twitter, we decided to bring some of the discussion over to the site for your viewing pleasure.So we’re back in this week’s NFL free agency mailbag. You’re welcome to drop questions in here for our next mailbag or tweet me @Rob_Lowder.What’s the thinking of signing another running back?Ben asks a question that everyone wants to know. Jerick McKinnon is coming off a torn ACL - a tough injury for any running back. Matt Breida struggled with an ankle injury and Raheem Mostert broke his arm. Shanahan was eager to add another healthy, familiar running back to the mix. Oh, and Tevin Coleman is really good. Not to mention Coleman has tremendous value in the passing game. With McKinnon not having any more guaranteed money on his contract, I can see why they wanted to add more insurance.Why did the 49ers add two linebackers?Camaro wanted to know why the 49ers, with a slew of roster needs, added two high-priced linebackers this offseason. Fortunately for the roster, not all linebackers are created equality. Dee Ford and Kwon Alexander are both listed as the same position but their roles differ greatly. Alexander is off the ball, likely slated as the team’s WILL linebacker next to Fred Warner. Ford is currently slated to be the team’s LEO on the defensive line Cheap Nick Bosa Jersey , tormenting opposing quarterbacks on all three downs.Will the 49ers add another receiver in free agency?On Wednesday, Kyle asked if the 49ers would add another receiver in free agency. The likelihood was strong given the lack of competition among the group.Some names I offered were Donte Moncrief, Chris Conley, Jordan Matthews, Dontrelle Inman and Ryan Grant. On Thursday, the 49ers signed Matthews (6-3, 215) to a one-year contract. He adds a size and scoring dynamic that Shanahan’s recieving corps currently lacks. The former Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills receiver racked up 16 touchdowns in his first two seasons.Is Jerick McKinnon in danger of being cut?The 49ers signed former Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman to a two-year deal on Thursday. Eddie addresses the elephant in the room that is Jerick McKinnon, who suffered a torn ACL before the 2018 season. Does this put McKinnon’s spot on the team in jeopardy? Not really. Shanahan still has admiration for McKinnon’s abilities and will be eager to see him in action. We saw last season that you can’t have enough running backs. The 49ers can now give McKinnon plenty of time to recover from his torn ACL.Will Jason Verrett be competing for a starting spot?Absolutely, Doug. Former Los Angeles cornerback Jason Verrett, a former first-round pick in 2014, will be competing for the starting role opposite Richard Sherman this offseason. Verrett has struggled with injuries after a promising start to his career. In five seasons Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , he’s played in 25 of 80 games due in large part to a partially torn ACL in 2016 and a torn Achilles tendon in 2018. If Verrett can stay healthy, his one-year, $3.6 million deal could be a steal for the 49ers and their struggling secondary. Where do you think the 49ers add a receiver? Draft? Free agency?Kameron knows the 49ers are in need of help at wide receiver. The team may have added Matthews, but they’re very likely to target a receiver in the draft as well. Day 2 seems like the sweet spot for a new 49ers receiver. It’s a talented, deep class of pass-catchers. I’d keep an eye out for A.J. Brown, Deebo Samuel, Hakeem Butler, N’Keal Harry and others that may fall into Round 2.Tre Boston or Ha-Ha Clinton Dix?Drew’s question became a bit easier on Thursday when the Chicago Bears signed safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Even before the signing, I was leaning toward Tre Boston. I wrongfully assumed Clinton-Dix would command a big contract, something the 49ers had already dolled out several times this offseason to Alexander, Ford and Coleman. Clinton-Dix only ended up with a one-year http://www.49ersfanshop.com/Nick-Bosa-Jersey , $3.5 million deal with the Bears. Boston is still available. He’s coming off a productive season for the Cardinals and was only making $1.5 million in 2018. The 49ers are still in need of an upgrade at free safety and Boston is a solid blend of value/impact at this point in free agency.What’s the starting front 7 look like with the current roster?Allen asked what the 49ers’ front seven on defense would look like with additions of Alexander and Ford. Here’s what I expect to see on passing downs:RDE: Dee FordDT: DeForest BucknerDT: Arik Armstead/Solomon ThomasLDE: Cassius Marsh (Bosa? Allen?)WLB: Kwon AlexanderMLB: Fred WarnerDo the 49ers draft a safety in the second or third round?Buddy’s mind is on the 49ers’ secondary, which was among the team’s weakest position groups in 2018. The free safety spot is one of the most critical positions in Robert Saleh’s scheme. The most obvious target was always former Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, who essentially wrote the book for what the 49ers need on defense. Thomas signed with the Ravens. It’s safe to say the position will be on the 49ers’ radar throughout the draft. Names like Alabama’s Deionte Thompson, Mississippi State’s Jonathan Abrams and Delaware’s Nasir Adderley come to mind as late first-round, early second-round picks.Best possible trade partner? Raiders?The Oakland Raiders have been on fire this offseason. They traded for former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, then signed former 49ers tackle Trent Brown, defensive Lamarcus Joyner and receiver Tyrell Williams. General manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden may look to keep things rolling in April for the draft, and trading up with the 49ers to land a coveted player is one way to do it. The Raiders currently hold the No. 4 pick and a pair late first-rounders at 24 and 27. Perhaps dealing one of those picks to jump up two spots would be the play, as Guy suggested. It’s definitely something Lynch would consider if they’re not completely sold on their target at two. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — While Jimmy Garoppolo recovered from a torn left ACL, his backups took center stage during the 49ers‘ minicamp.The 49ers coaching staff allowed Garoppolo to participate in seven-on-seven passing drills but not 11-on-11 team drills. So backup quarterbacks C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens split time with the starters.Those two are competing to be the 49ers’ No. 2 quarterback behind Garoppolo next season. Of the two Nick Bosa Color Rush Jersey , Beathard has played particularly well this offseason, said coach Kyle Shanahan.“C.J. has had a hell of a camp,” Shanahan said Wednesday. “You can’t fully know how much better he has gotten until game time when you know they can tackle him, but C.J. has gotten more and more comfortable, more automatic. He knew the offense right when he got here and now, in his third year, he has a lot more reps than he did last year.”Beathard started five games in 2018 after Garoppolo tore his ACL against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 23. In five starts, Beathard threw eight touchdown passes, seven interceptions, passed for 1,252 yards Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , posted a quarterback rating of 81.8 and lost all five games. During his fifth start, an 18-15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Beathard injured his right wrist and did not play the rest of the season.The 49ers traded up to take Beathard in the third round of the 2017 draft. Through two seasons in the NFL, he is 1-9 and his passer rating is 74.6.Beathard said he believes the quarterback competition during minicamp has brought out the best in him. “I really do,” he said. “Anytime you have competition, especially from good players, it makes you better.”Mullens has responded to the challenge, too.“The biggest thing is just playing decisive football,” Mullens said. “How quickly can you make your decisions? How quickly can you skip a read to get to the next read because you know it’s going to be open? That’s one thing that helps me play my best. Throughout camp, I’ve just tried to be quick on my decisions, and I think it has helped.”Mullens signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2017 and became their starting quarterback after Beathard injured his wrist in 2018. Mullens started the final eight games of the season Joe Montana Color Rush Jersey , passing for 2,277 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He posted a quarterback rating of 90.8.Of all the quarterbacks who have started 16 or fewer games in the NFL, only Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield — the first pick of the 2018 draft — had a higher passer rating than Mullens last season. Mayfield’s rating was 93.7.“(Mullens and Beathard) have both proven they can play in this league,” Shanahan said. “We’re going to have to make a tough decision at the end of preseason to which one we want to give that No. 2 job. You don’t get to compete much during the season. There’s not enough reps. You hope Jimmy stays healthy so it’s irrelevant who’s the No. 2 guy. But the No. 2 guy does get a lot more reps in practice (than the No. 3 guy), so that’s going be very important for them.”The 49ers expect to keep all three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster for the regular season. So the competition may continue after training camp.Beathard and Mullens like competing against each other. They even golf together every weekend.“A little weekly tradition,” Mullens said. “We’re always having fun. Competition is fun.”
