Per Keim today talking about the OL:
"A lot more needs to be focused on the TE blocking. Improve that and you will see a more consistent run game. this is the details of the game; not all is placed on the OL."
Keim reading chico posts again. Ill say it again, its time to move on from Vernon Davis and Reed as TE they give us zilch in the run game

We save 11M against the cap if we cut them before June 1 (2M more if we cut/trade Reed post June 1). Seems like a no-brainer to move on from both of them, given their recent level of production (or lack thereof).

trade back in the first round and pick TJ Hockenson TE..... Gronk 2.0... good blocker and receiver

Not dissing the player but we have far too many other needs to draft a TE in the first round. Its a position that can be filled in free agency and in the later rounds relatively economically (compared to other positions) and we need to be smart about where we allocate money due to the dead money committed to Smith. Cooley has RAVED about Sprinkle more than any TE I can remember. I think we would be just fine going with Sprinkle as our starter and then backing up the spot with inexpensive FA or late round pick/UDFA

They need receivers and a TE that can stretch the field and BLOCK will help both the passing game and running game. Even if Sprinkle can block, they need at least 2 TEs. Also, the extra pick (2nd or 3rd round) can be used anywhere.

IMO TE is a need, just like pretty much every position on this team. Name me one position where we don't have a need? When we pick if a d-linemen was BPA I'd take him. We have needs at every position.

I think they need to resign AP, Ha Ha, Jonathon Cooper, Jamison Crowder, and Maurice Harris. Focus on the power running game and play action as the focal point of the offense. Sign Mike Iupati for LG, Landon Collins Safety. I would draft Devin White ILB, Tyree Jackson QB, and the fastest WR in the draft and move forward.
If we win great... if we lose, be in the position to draft Trevor Lawrence.

You cannot be serious. AP will not sign for a minimal contract again. LOL on HaHa. No thanks on Crowder or Harris. Or Iupati and Collins.
And Lawrence will not be eligible for the draft.

We have no idea if AP will get legit offers or not. At least if he comes back here, he knows he will get carries behind Guice. Might not be too many teams interested in signing AP to a feature role, and if that's the case we have as good a chance as anyone plus the bonus of familiarity. I'd bring him back if the price is right.
Haha will get something decent in FA if he walks, but again, coming off a weak 2nd half of the season with us he might not get the offer he wants. If that's the case, look for him to possibly bet on himself with a 1-2 year deal with us with an opt out. I'm sure he'd like to see what he can do with an offseason to study and learn the D.
Crowder I'd bring back if the price is right.
Harris might get squeezed if we upgrade at WR, which should absolutely be a must fill this year.
Iupati? No idea if he's still good or not but if he's healthy I would say he's definitely a better option than Lauvao.
Enough with Mo Harris already, he hasn’t done shit
