I figured I’d put fingers to keys about the reading selection today. First and foremost,

Good morning folks San Francisco 49ers T-Shirts , and a happy Sunday to you. Since there’s not much going on, Kyle Madson of Ninerswire put together an informative piece about the important upcoming dates, and how they pertain specifically to the 49ers. Although the major events are spread out, there are enough smaller deadlines in the between that there should be something to look forward to at least every other week. Oh boy.Eric Branch of the SF Chronicle put together an article detailing the NFL’s newest love affair with hiring the young coaches, especially those with connections to Sean McVay, and by extension, Kyle Shanahan. It’s surely informative, but he seems to overrate Shanahan - which is something I can totally forgive him for. Niners Nation alum Jennifer Lee Chan put together a fun little piece detailing all of the former 49ers who will take part in the upstart Alliance of American Football league https://www.49ersfanshop.com/hats , from coaches to players, and even a league executive. I’d recommend taking a few minutes to go down memory lane, as there are numerous “Oh yeah, I remember that guy!” names littering the list.Ninerswire put out a pair of editorial lists that are worth reading, but for different reasons. Kyle Madson’s list regarding hypothetical deals that may see the 49ers drop out of the #2 spot is hilariously bad, a veritable compendium of “Why?!”. However, his colleague Al Sacco put together a good informative list detailing the top 5 edge rushers that will likely enter free agency properly. It’s really well done, and I’m not just saying that because my confirmation bias was lit up by his kind words for Patriots DL Trey Flowers and Vikings LB Anthony Barr. I’d love to see either, or both San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , as 49ers - however, there’s too much uncertainty regarding the availability of Nick Bosa to definitively call for such major investments.If the 49ers were to sign Barr, there’s reason to believe that he’d play the same role that detractors of drafting Josh Allen point to - SAM linebacker on base downs, edge rusher on passing downs. Although, the prospect of adding both Barr and Bosa would, on paper, seem to be an ideal solution in fortifying the defense. On the other hand, signing Trey Flowers could open up a scenario in which the 49ers may be able to safely trade out of the second overall pick, while still being able to find the impactful talent clustered at the top of the draft.NFL teams rush to snap up Kyle Shanahan / Sean McVay assistants | Branch Roger Craig Jersey , SF Chronicle“Alliance of American Football” league filled with ex-49ers | Chan, NBC Sports Bay Area5 hypothetical draft trades | Madson, Ninerswire5 free agent edge rushers the 49ers should look into | Sacco, NinerswireImportant NFL calendar dates | Madson, Ninerswire The Atlanta Falcons made one of the first big moves of the offseason following Super Bowl 53 when they released cornerback Robert Alford. The Falcons made the move because Alford had his worst season as a pro, turned 30 this past season, and was going to have a cap hit of $9.1 million this season. The Falcons cleared $7.9 million with the release, so it was not a surprising move.Alford is officially free and clear to sign with anybody that is interested. Players on an expiring contract do not get to negotiate with new teams until March, but because he was released now https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Deion-Sanders-Jersey , Alford can begin negotiating with all 32 teams.The San Francisco 49ers have some questions at cornerback, and as soon as Alford was released, people started asking if the team should look into him. He had a miserable 2018 season, with opposing quarterbacks connecting with receivers for 849 yards and a passer rating of 138.9. If you think he hit the post-30 wall, so be it. But if you think he can rebound, he’s on the radar.The question is how the 49ers should approach the continued building of their cornerback depth chart. You can never have enough cornerbacks in a growing passing league, so I fully expect the team to add at least one cornerback this offseason. Competition is critical, but how would you look to approach it between the draft and free agency?
