Becht Visiting 49ers

"Former Rams and Cardinals tight end Anthony Becht is visiting the 49ers, the team said, and I think he could fit.
The 49ers drafted and then released blocking tight end Bear Pascoe in 2009. Unable to find a suitable replacement, the 49ers carried only two tight ends on their roster all season, one fewer than expected. Vernon Davis excels at blocking and receiving, with backup Delanie Walker more in the H-back mold.
Adding a tight end with Becht's blocking credentials could provide the 49ers with more options from a power running standpoint. Becht played about 40 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps last season, more than I would have expected. He is an unrestricted free agent."-ESPN
got this off of the ESPN FA Blog. I would like having Becht signed because he's just like adding another OL for running downs and could give Gore bigger holes. And Becht has good hands and could catch all those dump passes Alex Smith loves to throw. Not a huge signing, but a good one to help the team.
