@DylanMacNamara: Not cool to tweet ****, man. RT @PFF_Sam: Sherman is a man-coverage stud. Stevie J beats him at the line... One more cos I'm in the groove. Sherman is a man-coverag... on Twitpic someone will post this gif for us

Also look at the bright side Ward will be practicing against Stevie Johnson now so he's bound to improve by the end of the year.

He isn't the top corner if he isn't grabbing your jersey half way down the field.

I'm just surprised the Niners couldn't have bullied Buffalo into throwing Spiller into the trade for an extra 6th round pick or something.

As a Cards fan, it's our turn to get some of Buffalo's stars for squat. SF gets Johnson, SEA gets Lynch...no fair.

Stacked core

Crabs
Boldin
Johnson
Patton
Lloyd
Baldwin
Osgood

Do we draft another and let him battle it out with Lloyd and Baldwin and maybe Osgood if he can match his ST play. Odds are we keep 6 WR.

Roman and kap have no excuses. Get it done this yr.

Lynch was kind of a bust in Buffalo, he certainly wasn't the player he is now.

Which obviously means Johnson is going to turn into the next Jerry Rice! Yahoo!

This trade, much like our draft pick yesterday, covers two different potential problems that the Niners have moving forward.

Right now, he automatically makes our 3-WR sets extremely dangerous with his ability to play either in the slot or outside. But he also protects us in the event that Crab leaves as his contract is VERY workable and he is controlled over the next three years.

at $5M or 6 a season in 2015 and 2016, can't see us keeping all three NEXT season?

You justed added more talent to your secondary, the Rams defense looks like it just got tougher, so we can use all the help we can get.

 

[deep9er]

warm up that arm Kaep! Crabs, Boldin, Stevie J, Lloyd, Patton, VD and McDonald...yikes

yep, it comes down to Kaep, but it always did.

[JMedlock5186]

Wouldn't be surprised to see us draft another WR today.

Us taking on Johnson contract makes it look like the writing is on the wall for crabs. And Boldin will be closer to retirement next year. We could easily draft someone today. Could be Johnson Boldin Patton and draft pick this year for next year.

 

[Dodub]

Solid pick up for the 49ers, I would have rather went after someone like Lee or Matthews though.

Its going to be tough to draft another WR unless we really think Patton isn't going to be good.

 

[deep9er]

Johnson isn't young and has been dinged up, can he continue at his level for THREE more seasons?

 

[Rathman44]

how much of his contract is guaranteed???

 

[CalamityX11]

Lloyd is NOT making this team LOL... stop that please hahahahahaha

Crabs, Boldin, Stevie(needs a 49ers nickname), Patton, Baldwin(could be gone), Osgood.... one more WR available IF we go 6 deep....

actually including Osgood that's 6... so Baldwin is a goner as well or Osgood doesn't count towards the WR group.
