Not a surprise, but it's official. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-f...-2013-nfl-draft

1 We fire Lovie and the staff 2. We signed CB LeQuan Lewis and let DJ Moore go Lewis is bigger and faster and with special teams ability as a return man. 3. We sign Martellus Bennett TE (can catch & block)and cut Davis and Spaeth who were not good at either 4. We sign Jermon Bushrod LT to replace Webb and move Webb to RT 5. We re-sign Melton & Collins at DT and cut Toeaina 6 We re-sign Bowman in case Hayden leaves(nothing major here)still looking for help at this position 7. We sign Turk McBride just in case Idonije and Okoye dont come back (played for the Chiefs) http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...93-9efbe2fad27e …

The draft will fill some of our roster spots, but other than the first two rounds, how much will you be able to count on them for major contributions. We still have some roster spots to fill that has to get done. We still need a backup QB. I think McCown is the logical choice, due to our comfort zone with him and he will be cheap. Also Campbell could come back but after paying him 3.5 mil last year , I dont see him playing cheap. Unless its a high draft pick, I dont see us getting our #2 in the draft. Other possibilities, Kolb, Grossman, and Brady Quinn. conclusion: Campbell will cost to much and didnt look good last …

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,1799231.story Brad Briggs wrote a article about our cap space that was nice.

A good article on draft and trade values: http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2013/4/17...ft-value-charts Just like what many of us have said, the 49ers look like prime candidates for our pick if they want it. They have the picks and the value is good for both teams. One interesting one would be Miami with 42 and 54, would they be willing to do it, and would we be willing to drop 22 slots for #54. We would then have #42, #50, and #54, which actually seems like a really sweet spot in the draft for value vs performance. To me that would almost be like getting 3 new starters, and even possibly 2 OL.

Predictions for upcoming draft. We will trade down and grab an extra third and 6th.(several trade partners, no need to go into detail.) 2 of our first 3 picks will be defense. We will grab a OLine prospect but not at top of draft. We will draft a WR. I also think we grab a QB prospect in 5 or 6. I have thrown out there the names I like Ogletree, Brown, Minter, Greene, Hodges: Stills, Swope,Boyd,Ausin: Fredirch,Swenke,Jones, Warford,Winters: Banks,Amerson,Ryan,Alford,Hawthorne.

We're only about a month away. Does anyone remember when the official schedule typically comes out? I've got some vacation days to use and always like to hit camp at least once. Weekends are nuts.
