    Clemson fans favorably compared him to Mike Williams. In the NFL, the comparison continues in both positive and negative lights.

    John Middlekauff, who used
    To be a scout and 49er beat writer for the Athletic said that he’s hearing that Houston is gonna be a very coveted destination for FA. One we have a QB and head coach that players wanna play for (he’s been pimping Demeco all year from the moment we hired him) but also that we play in the AFC South which has no state income tax In Fl, Tenn, TX and very low state income tax in Ind.

    If you don’t know when a player travels to play in another city they pay that states income tax for that game/salary. So that’s more money in a players pocket.

    We need to hit a home run in FA and the draft. Our schedule is going to be really tough. We have to improve or add depth at WR and Safety. If we don’t re-sign Grennard then we have to get a difference maker at DE. More weapons for DJ and resign Singletary.

    How about a Derrick Henry as backup, if he comes cheap? Yes he's older, but could still be a 3rd down back or red zone back. Again...if he can come cheap.

    Again I have to defer to those who can figure out how the fit in Demeco's system. I would have thought Pierce would have been our star RB this season but he didn't fit as well as Singletary. This doesn't mean it can't change.

    Calvin Ridley is going to be a FA next year, should the Texans sign him (if he sign for cheap, instead of big money to Mike Evans?

    If you watched Achane tonight

    Then checkout Bucky Irving. True difference maker can probably be drafted in the 3rd rd. Speed kills runs hard and will fit the ZBS like a glove. Good in pass game too and decent in pass pro.

    I wouldn’t waste FA money on rb or wr, unless it’s a trade for a true star (jefferson). Focus on the oline and dline, build from within. If stroud is protected any decent wr will produce

    A lot of post about upgrading oline. I think the online is good. We have 7+ Olinemen on IR and CJ is still doing pretty well. Plus, two were rookies this year. A full offseason to get healthy and learn the reads, we will be fine!

    Dline could use a better starter next to Rankin but they did break the record for most sacks in team history

    No! Get a healthy draft pick to start next year with Singletary. There are plenty to choose from.
