Like to know what Buffalo paid their guy, he was ranked number 2 C. 

4 years, $52M.

Not sure what Dan's plan is with C but he's playing with fire.

Maybe he can talk Matt Paradis out of retirement.

Yes, this is a bad draft for a can't-miss Day 1 center.  However, look how closely these guys are clustered in rounds 4 and 5.  Keep an eye on the Duke kid, Parker.  Apparently he looked really good at the Senior Bowl.

For ILB, maybe we are stil targeting high, but could take a smart value-based approach.  

Lloyd will get around 20, Tremaine or Okereke may get around $10 mil but the rest of the group has value for what they bring.

Examples: Leo Chenal, EJ Speed, Singleton

I’ve been saying Matt Milano at value and draft a guy. Should give us immediate upgrade at two spots, and give the rookie a year or two to glean wisdom from a vet.

I know he is good. The age though. At some point the damn breaks. 
I wouldn’t revolt but I’d like to shop around a little first. 

Again, purely a stop-gap, mentor and locker room leader.  He knows this is probably his last contract. That being said, he shouldn't be a bank buster.

I saw something about him maybe going back to Seattle.

It would make sense on a "retirement" deal.  Plus, he's a west coast guy.  If we get real young in the middle of the LB corps, the growing pains could be substantial.

On a side note, I've heard a large shipment of exercise bikes is being sent to the 9ers training facility.

CMC and Mike Evans on the same team, especially if Kittle comes back 100%...wow! If they can stay out of the medical tent, that's some fire power.

damn thats not bad

I said all along he will not get 30M a season. I said we should have offered him 12 per but it looks like Miami wanted him pretty bad. That's not a bad contract for them.
