    He is a role player...he has had his moments...and relatively cheap.
    The TPB makes plans....And Jim Harbaugh laughs...

    Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

      I don't think so....We might have 2 or 3 great dline prospects available to us over the first 2 days...I think Liuget is a backup plan.

        Seems more of a restructure than an extension. I was just reading he'll gget his signing bonus and most guarantees this year. Most of the base is next year.. so this is probably his last year as a Bolt.

        Looks like we're rolling the dice with the WRs we have. Honestly, if Scott comes back healthy and in the form he was showing before the season.. and Henry is healthy. It's probably not a bad call .

          With Henry on the field i really think he will see a lot of the receptions we lose with Tyrell gone. I could see him being really active from the slot. I expect to see Allen in the slot much more as well. With Benjamin and MW on the outside and Henry inline. Benjamin can take the top off a D and then we have 3 big bodies underneath.

            Not necessarily. A mid/late round pick on a burner would be cool now, so dude is up to speed for 2020 when TB is cut. That UDFA last year stuck around for a couple games into the regular season, I believe the team is looking for the next speedster now.

              Agreed. Ekeler too, will not get so dinged up if we take better advantage of his receiving skills,
              and not expect him to bang so much.
              We do not play modern football.

                We are loaded with weapons. But none of them will matter if our OL breaks down again. I think we are doing better than most teams at skill positions.

                Hayward/James
                Bosa/Ingram
                Perryman/Nwosu/Davis/White/Phillips
                Gordon/Ekeler
                Keenan/Mike Will/Henry/Benjamin/Scott

                The best way to make these position groups better is by dominating the interior trenches.

                  Don't sleep on Dylan Cantrell, either. We brought him back.

                    Great speed. Might be the best blocking WR on the field. I think we should trade him to Arizona for a 4th.

                      You think we can get a 4th for a 6th who was injured and didn't play a snap?
                      That is good GMing Fleet.

                        Why would AZ give us a 4th for a UDFA one season removed? But hey I'd take it and draft another WR.

                          I thought we drafted him.
