Today is center Weston Richburg.PDTShareTweetShareShare49ers 90-in-90: OC Weston RichburgKyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsWeston Richburg was supposed to this 49ers team what Alex Mack was for Kyle Shanahan’s Atlanta Falcons — a talented and smart (and expensive) free agent center who takes the complicated offense from sputtering to explosive. Instead, he was last year’s biggest FA disappointment —- underperforming as he struggled through injuries. Pro Football Focus ranked him the 33rd best center in the league -- below starter level, virtually, with a 51.9 rating.In January, he had knee and quadricep surgery, which will keep him limited until training camp. Hopefully, he’ll return, fully healed, and live up to his expectations (and salary). If not, he may be battling LB Malcolm Smith for the title of the Lynchahan era’s biggest FA flop.Basic infoAge: 27 (he’ll turn 28 on July 9)Experience: 5 seasonsHeight: 6’4”Weight: 300Cap Status: Last year the Niners signed him to a 5-year deal for $47.5 million, with $16.5 million fully guaranteed. As of April 1, his base salary of $5.5 million became guaranteed for this year. The team is not going to cut him — they don’t have much else at center — but if they did (after June 1), they would save $475,000 and have $7.36 million of dead money. He has nothing guaranteed going forward, though, as long as the team cuts him by April 1, 2020.What to expect in 2019I’m optimistic about Richburg’s recovery. He’s at his physical peak and already played through his injury last season, so there’s no reason to think that he was permanently damaged.I don’t think anyone believes he is as talented as Alex Mack, who is a superb football player and did a fantastic job portraying a teenage girl with special powers on Nickolodeon. But if he can return to the form he showed with the New York Giants before his November 2017 concussion, he will be a significant upgrade for this offense.Odds of making the rosterIf he can walk into training camp Weston Richburg Jersey , he will be on this roster. The 49ers have no real plan B. I mean that literally — Richburg is the only player listed as a center on the team’s official roster on their website). Erik Magnuson can play the spot, in a pinch — but he’s also the guy whose bad snap cost the Niners a chance to tie the game against Arizona last year. So book it. Let’s take a look at how the 49ers did in the 2019 NFL Draft this weekend."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences & Conference CallsSan Francisco 49ers News2019 NFL Draft: 49ers picks, mock drafts, news, rumors, analysisWinners and losers from the 49ers’ 2019 draftNew,116commentsLet’s take a look at how the 49ers did in the 2019 NFL Draft this weekend.PDTShareTweetShareShareWinners and losers from the 49ers’ 2019 draftDouglas DeFelice-USA TODAY SportsAfter all the pre-draft evaluations and mock drafts, the San Francisco 49ers finished the weekend with eight new draft picks. Here’s a list of the players that John Lynch and Co. selected during the three days:1 (2). Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State2 (36). Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina3 (67). Jalen Hurd, WR, Baylor4 (110). Mitch Wishnowsky, P, Utah5 (148). Dre Greenlaw, LB, Arkansas6 (176). Kaden Smith, TE, Stanford6 (183). Justin Skule Cassius Marsh Color Rush Jersey , T, Vanderbilt6 (198). Tim Harris, CB, VirginiaBefore these players suit up for San Francisco in training camp, let’s take a look at some winners and losers from this weekend.WinnersPass RushThe 49ers needed to upgrade their edge defense this offseason and did they go ahead and do that. After signing free-agent Dee Ford to a large contract, San Francisco doubled up on the position by drafting Ohio State’s Nick Bosa with the second pick of the NFL Draft. Considered as the draft’s best pure pass rusher, Bosa will bring a much-needed threat to the edge. With the likes of DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead and Solomon Thomas already lined up along the defensive line, the addition of Bosa this weekend should only strengthen this group.Wide Receiver CompetitionsTraining camp and preseason this year is going to be an absolute dogfight for a receiver spot, given the additions of wideouts Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd during the second day of the NFL Draft. With a group that already features Marquise Goodwin, Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis and newly-signed Jordan Matthews, a spot on the roster won’t be easy to attain. With not much consistency from this group last season, Lynch and the front office did well to add more skill players to the mix.2018 Defensive Backs’ Room49ers’ fans pounded the table for a defensive back through the first five rounds of the draft. With every corner taken, fans wondered why the 49ers’ brain trust passed on that specific player. While corner Richard Sherman locked down one side of the field last season, the opposite side was a swinging door. Corners Ahkello Witherspoon, Tarvarius Moore and Jason Verrett will compete for that final position, but most people surely thought the 49ers would prioritize the position in the draft. Given that the only player that Lynch chose was Virginia’s Tim Harris with their final selection of the weekend — it’s safe to say that the 49ers really believe in their young core already on the roster.Mock DraftersMost people had the 49ers’ first two selections nailed right on the head. Since the Senior Bowl, San Francisco has been linked to wideout Deebo Samuel https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Brock-Coyle-Jersey , given his route-running abilities and quickness off the line of scrimmage. The 49ers’ coaching staff was one of the Senior Bowl staffs, so the connection made even more sense. Since quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s injury, 49ers’ fans have been pounding the table for Nick Bosa and that became a reality on Thursday. While the 49ers’ first two selections were highly predictable — the front office hit it out of the park.LosersTE Garrett CelekWith the emergence of tight end George Kittle last season, Celek fell into a Robin role, primarily as a blocking tight end. The 49ers added Stanford’s Kaden Smith on Day 3, who was utilized heavily as a blocking tight end during his collegiate career. Given the addition of Smith, that likely could signal the end of Celek’s run in San Francisco.If Smith shows up to training camp and can outperform the veteran, he will likely end up on the final 53-man roster, leaving no spot for Celek. Punter NaysayersThe immediate reaction once the 49ers’ fourth-round selection was announced was a brief moment of shock, followed by ridicule on social media. A few years after the 49ers chose punter Bradley Pinion in the fifth round, San Francisco outdid themselves by choosing Utah’s Mitch Wishnowsky in the fourth round. In recent seasons, the 49ers chose defensive lineman Kentavius Street, running back Joe Williams, corner Rashard Robinson and tight end Blake Bell in the fourth round. Given that those players don’t contribute on the football field, Wishnowsky sure looks a lot better. While most disagree with the pick, choosing a special teams’ player that could potentially be a 10-year starter was worth the Day 3 selection.
