moves Colin Kaepernick Jersey , but will any under the radar moves crack the top 4?"The San Francisco 49ers took a few risks this offseason with some of the players they added. Linebacker next to Fred Warner was a position of need, and they went out and signed a player that likely won’t be ready for the season-opener. The team also seems to be depending on a player that has all the talent in the world but hasn’t played a full season since 2014.The 49ers added plenty of talent this offseason, though. Here are the four best moves John Lynch made this offseason.Addressing the offensive line from a value standpointI’m in the camp that you don’t have to spend big on the interior offensive line. I get wanting to protect your quarterback on edge. Selecting guys like Joe Staley on Mike McGlinchey early makes sense. I love that Lynch rewarded Mike Person for his toughness with a three-year contract. The deal is only worth $8.25 million, and is team-friendly, like usual. Is the likelihood of Person regressing to journeymen status high? Sure. The contract felt more like a culture-building deal.Aside from that, the 49ers scoured the waiver wire for offensive lineman that has played all over the line. Since January, the team has signed seven offensive linemen, not counting Person. In Kyle Shanahan’s system, the emphasis isn’t on the interior guys, as he runs a lot of stretch zone and play-action. You need competent guys. The team should be able to find at least one capable body that fits what they want to do.Adding athleticism to the rosterOne area that stood out when watching the 49ers was the lack of athleticism on both sides of the ball last year. There are plenty of athletic players. There weren’t players that are big-time athletes. That’s why taking chances on a Kwon Alexander, or a Jason Verrett makes sense. The trade for Dee Ford. The two wide receivers drafted, even Tim Harris in the sixth-round. The Niners needed to inject some athleticism on the roster Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , and they did. You’d see defenders in space last year, and there wasn’t much confidence that they’d be able to finish the play. Flip that around to the other side of the ball, and outside of maybe three players, I didn’t see a skill player that could consistently get a big chunk. Tevin Coleman, Deebo Samuel, Jalen Hurd, and getting Jerick McKinnon back should change that.Covering your basesSpeaking of Coleman, one thing that the team did, save the safety position, is cover their bases in the event of an injury. At safety, a guy like D.J. Reed Jr. or Antone Exum can fill in at either spot. Jordan Matthews is a prime example here. He can play early if one of the younger guys isn’t ready to take the next step. The Niners added some lesser-known names at defensive tackle and linebacker as well. The addition of Coleman could help in several ways, too. The depth chart heading into this year looks a lot more promising than it did one year ago.Addressing your biggest needBelieve it or not https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jaquiski-Tartt-Jersey , teams go into the offseason with a significant need and enter the season with the same need still a question mark. A couple of weeks ago, Richard Sherman said “we needed guys that could hit the quarterback. That was not the case with Lynch. The 49ers couldn’t get after the quarterback or generate turnovers. Lucky for them, they had the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. Nick Bosa is going to be able to solve both of those issues. It wouldn’t be fair to pin that all on a rookie.The trade for Dee Ford was criticized by many. In the Niners position, this is a gamble you take every time. A future second-round pick, and a contract that doesn’t handicap your team for several years. For a player that is coming off a career year and will remain in an environment where he’s not asked to do it all? That was a no-brainer. ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Two defensive captains have been cut, a respected veteran retired and the team’s No. 1 receiver was traded away.The losses for the Oakland Raiders have been mounting on and off the field in recent weeks as a season that began with optimism has fallen apart at the midway point.After four straight losses, including a blowout by Bay Area rival San Francisco, have left the Raiders (1-7) tied for the worst record in the NFL, it’s time to start looking to the future.To that end, coach Jon Gruden called in his rookie class Friday following the 34-3 loss to the 49ers and delivered a message to the group.“He was just telling us he needs more from us rookies,” defensive end Arden Key said Monday. “He needs more Mike Person Jersey , more, more. He said we’re doing pretty good but he needs more. We need to lead the league in effort and we’re not doing that as rookies. … It was a wake-up call and we answered.”Little has gone right of late for the Raiders, who have been outscored by 85 points during a four-game losing streak. The team has also cut captains Bruce Irvin and Derrick Johnson during that span, watched cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie retire, and traded receiver Amari Cooper to Dallas for a first-round draft pick.That follows the trade one week before the start of the season that dealt star pass rusher Khalil Mack to Chicago for a package of picks, including two first-rounders.Oakland was last in the league with seven sacks before cutting ties with Irvin, who led the team with three. Only rookies Maurice Hurst (two sacks) and Key (one), along with Clinton McDonald (one) have sacks among players on the active roster.That’s why Gruden wants more from his rookie class that also features defensive tackle P.J. Hall.“I know right now the maturity level on this team has to rise up,” veteran defensive lineman Frostee Rucker said. “We just have to be a complete team and do the little things better. That’s what we’re starting with today, trying to do the little things better.”The Raiders also added some reinforcements Monday, signing defensive linemen Jacquies Smith and Kony Ealy to contracts.Ealy had 14 sacks in three seasons with Carolina from 2014-16, including three in a Super Bowl loss to Denver following the 2015 season. He was traded to New England in 2017 Patrick Willis Color Rush Jersey , got cut by the Patriots and then signed with the New York Jets, where he had one sack in 15 games.Ealy spent training camp in Dallas before getting cut by the Cowboys on Sept. 1.Smith was originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and finally got his first chance to play in 2014 with Tampa Bay. He had 13 1/2 sacks in 27 games his first two seasons with the Buccaneers before suffering a major knee injury in 2016.Smith has played just seven games the past three seasons with Tampa, Detroit and Arizona, recording three tackles and no sacks in seven games. Smith was released by Arizona in September.Smith worked out for the Raiders in recent weeks and got the call Sunday, a day after Irvin was released. Smith said he feels as healthy as he has since before the injury and is eager for the chance to show what he can do.“It’s been very frustrating,” he said. “Obviously, I have a ton of confidence in myself. Obviously, I’ve made a ton of plays in this league. Just getting back and getting that opportunity to do that. I’m very confident in my ability. Obviously, these guys see something in me to give me a shot.”NOTES: The Raiders waived James Cowser. … LT Kolton Miller didn’t have a helmet at practice after re-injuring his right knee last Thursday. … LG Kelechi Osemele participated in practice despite injuring his knee again against the 49ers. … RB Marshawn Lynch stopped by practice for the first time since undergoing surgery on an injured groin last month.
