Another player I think would be a great addition, and might be the biggest steal of FA is, Eric Reid. I haven't heard one zip of his name throughout the entire FA period.
He also graded out fairly well last season.
Patrick Chung is aging, and Reid remainds me so much of him, just more athletic. Could be a great way to replace the SS postion with another steal of a singing.
Also, lets not forget, when bill drafts his younger brother in the 1st, they could play together. lol
A lot of people forget how good he was at LSU. Was part of the "DBU" era at LSU When Tyrann Mathieuu, Patrick Peterson, and him all played together. He is 6'2 215lbs with good speed (4.52), and eye popping, 33 3/4 inch arms, 40 inch vert, and a 6.85 3 cone. His early career years were wasted in SF. He's never had any major injuries and is just 26 years old.
As of right now, he might be my #1 target.
Something like 3 years 18-28million, with 10-12 Guaranteed. I could easily live with that. Word is, he's not drawing interest because his anthem protest. #steal
This is what BR NFL 1000 scouting had to say about him.
Eric Reid was good everywhere. The fact he still lost his starting spot tells you how good Jaquiski Tartt was. Reid excelled in the box. He was aggressive against the run and didn't miss too many tackles. He had no problem going out wide or playing in slot coverage, either. Look for the impending free agent to have a big impact for whoever he plays for.

The 49ers asked Reid to play a host of roles in 2017—everything from "moneybacker" to deep safety—and he took every challenge with aplomb. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh had Reid at the line of scrimmage a lot, where he could blitz, shoot the gaps to stop the run or drop into curl/flat coverage based on the defense. He has become one of the NFL's more versatile safeties and would be a major asset for any team looking to expand its nickel and dime coverage looks.
