This one is a no brainer. Of course this is always a favorite among players because it’s a lot of fun but drills like this aren’t safe for head trauma.

Re: 2019 Off-season
Jimmy Ward broke his collarbone diving for a ball on OTAs. I’d laugh my ass off if this wasn’t expected. It was so expected. Dude has done nothing but prove he’s made of glass. Now go sign Tre Boston or something. Ward is a wrap.

Re: 2019 Off-season
You've got to be f-ing kidding me. Obviously it's not a surprise, but I figured he'd at least make it to the season. Thank god we didn't tap into this fairly deep (if not very top-heavy) safety class. Cause hey, it's awfully hard to beat out a guy like Jimmie Ward to make this team.

Re: 2019 Off-season
It's not the easiest to go find a safety who can beat out [DB] Jimmie Ward or [S Jaquiski] Tartt or the two guys that we drafted in the last two years with [S] Marcell [Harris], [DB Adrian] Colbert and [DB Antone] Exum [Jr.], who stepped in and did a good job for us, who's played on other NFL teams, too.
Damn you to hell, Kyle Shanahan.

Re: 2019 Off-season
Jimmy Ward, inured? Wow, I am so shocked. I wanted him gone two years ago. Last year was supposed to be a one year prove it deal and he ended up on IR again. I am totally baffled why they brought him back this year again and expected anything different. Even if this injury heals up by season opening he will end up on IR by week four with something else anyway

With Jimmie Ward I don't have any expectations beyond one week, even just OTAs

Team sources also told Rapoport that Ward will be out for eight weeks but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
If you were hoping a veteran would be signed as a result of the news the fact they expect him ready to start training camp probably puts (or should?) a damper on that for you.
And, if Ward's career continues to play out like many think it would, not making a medium or larger sized move now, if you think there's one that could be made, probably just means they'll be pressed into doing so later if/when Ward does suffer something that ends another season for him.

This is the worst part of the news for me. The fact they think he can come back and be relied upon stops them from signing Tre Boston as an insurance policy. SIGH

Didn’t we have a chance to get Nasir Adderley in the second round? Damn I would even have liked to take a late round flier on Dionte Thompson. Bummed knee and all...!

Taken in a stretch of picks that I think could be a nightmarish scenario for the 49ers when they look back at that round years from now and what it does/did to further separate the competition from the 49ers:
2nd
26. Cowboys - Trysten Hill
27. Colts - Parris Campbell
28. Chargers - Nasir Adderley
31. Chiefs - Juan Thornhill
32. Seahawks - D.K. Metcalf
Omissions: Taylor Rapp (29. Rams) and Andy Isabella (30. Cardinals). Two picks I cheered at for player evaluation/value perspectives that I think could help the 49ers out. Thankfully, both of those teams are in the NFC West. Unfortunately, the Seahawks may have hit a home run at that point (goin' down with the ship on him). I don't see the Rams getting much out of Rapp defensively and Isabella could be a part-time pain nuisance at best but I didn't like the value for them there.
Teams I know that already are better than the 49ers who also separated themselves in that round but much earlier: Joejuan Williams (Patriots), A.J. Brown (Titans).
Teams in the 49ers neighborhood that may have gotten a long-term player I liked from that round: Cody Ford (Buffalo), Dalton Risner (Broncos), Ben Banogu (Colts - on the high end value wise).
I also feel somewhat better about Byron Murphy (Cardinals), Rock Ya-Sin (Colts), and Mecole Hardman (Chiefs) now that I know where they're playing and who they'll be playing for.
That was a sad, sad round for me even though I liked Deebo the player a little - just not until it became a round 3 or 4 discussion. The 49ers lost too much ground in that round IMO.
