Great write up. thanks
Jones is a good cornerback on a reasonable 1 year salary and generally these are the players the Patriots hoard. With the youth at the position he would give us the best return if opportunity arises.
In 2019-20, if there is one place you need strength and depth : DB. Would love to have more at DL, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that our backfield was instrumental in the 14-16-18 victories.
Good testing doesn't guarantee good football players. We should remember that when going wide-eyed over watching Ken Webster jump 43" even though I think he has a shot. Good football players, however, almost always test well.
That would certainly be disappointing, considering that they talked about watching Dawson for two years and feeling good about the player. They moved up to take him. I wasn't a huge fan of Dawson, but I sure liked him better than Cyrus Jones. He seemed like a ready made slot player who could provide steady, though not spectacular, snaps for the defense. If he turned into another Jonathan Jones I'd be ecstatic.
Part of me wonders if there are some trade moves to come before the season starts. I could see us packaging a DB + picks (we now have 14 with the Hollister trade) in order to get back a TE, DT, or even EDGE player. Perhaps we'll wait until injuries hit in training camp.
Regardless, it's a good problem to have. We suffered through some abysmal secondaries between the championship years. I'll never complain about adding corners.
Great stuff as always.
I keep thinking Solomon Thomas is the guy we make a push for, and 49ers aren’t exactly deep at corner. Add some other stuff to make it work, but that’s my spitball idea.

Good to see you around, brother. I've missed your contributions the last couple years.
Big fan of adding Thomas. Buy low, see what happens?
Don't worry, they'll be replaced by "the tight ends suck" posts soon enough......Can't wait for the regular “defence sucks“ posts in August.
I think veteran help WILL be forthcoming in the next couple of month. I'm not sure we will be thrilled with the additions, but they will arrive nonetheless.In 2019-20, if there is one place you need strength and depth : DB.

Don't forget a while back we added 2 DE's in July to ZERO fanfare and together they accounted for 20 sacks that year. Unfortunately they were so impactful I forget their names
