4) Veach is a guy that's ALWAYS looking for upgrades at every position. He never stops looking and never stops evaluating positions, even if it looks like they are set.
When Reid said that the plan was to move Niang to LT, really signaled that Williams negotiations sticking points were the long term contract the 49ers were offering in comparison to a short term contract the Chiefs were presenting not wanting to face competition for 1st string in the second year of the contract [Reply]

He'll probably be a top 10 pick....in the 2nd round. [Reply]
Devonta Smith at 166 pounds is going to slide. No GM in the top 15 wants to risk that. I think Mahomes, Veach and Reid would all love a premier third pass catcher. Go get him. [Reply]
Couple of injury notes from the medical combine per GBN:

Unfortunately, Jeremiah did not get into any specifics on the issues, but it should be noted that Marshall was sidelined for a month with a broken foot as a sophomore in 2019 and also suffered a season-ending leg injury in his senior year in HS that carried over to his freshman year at LSU. Meanwhile, it came out at the Giants pre-draft presser earlier today that Miami DE Jaelan Phillips, a top 20 prospect for next week’s draft, apparently was not at the follow-up medical testing in Indianapolis earlier this month. Phillips, a one-time blue-chip recruit at UCLA, actually retired from football a couple of years back because of concussions, but made a successful comeback after transferring to Miami. Needless to say, the health issue has been something of a cloud over Phillips’ 2021 draft prospectus and one would think that teams would have been hoping that he received a clean bill of health at the Indy medical testing.
I think they trade away a player and picks draft day to move way up. OT, just do not know their favorite. We will definitely draft linebacker and a wide receiver. The only way to make Hill or hardman concentrate on catching balls is to stiffen the competition [Reply]
I am all in on Dyami Brown. You put that guy on this football team and the offense is doing whatever the hell it wants to ANYBODY unless several injuries occur.
Goddamn just give me Dyami Brown and Payton Turner with our two 2nd rd picks and I will be absolutely thrilled [Reply]
