Arik Armstead Jersey , April 23rd, 2019"*Editors Note from Kyle*These are up a little later this morning as I was locked out of my computer last night and couldn’t get to these nuggets. Ikaros was kind enough to do the nuggets for this morning and it’s silly to waste this!John Lynch held a pre-draft press conference where he addressed a wide range of topics from the passing of area scout Reggie Cobb to learning from mistakes like the drafting of Reuben Foster and Joe Williams. One thing that was asked during the press conference is when Robbie Gould is expected to report. In short, John Lynch doesn’t know. He just knows that Gould will be there for the season opener. While the lack of a return date does make one worry, I think you have to consider Gould’s veteran status and the trust that the 49ers have in him to be ready to step in whenever it is that he does show up.https://www.sfchronicle.com/49ers/articl...4.php?psid=rzIp | Eric Branch, San Francisco Chroniclehttps://www.nbcsports.com/bayar...l-return-kicker | Matt Maiocco, NBC SportsAnother topic that was brought up is what went into scouting Nick Bosa, specifically referencing things done on social media. Lynch brushed off the social media stuff and spoke about how well he gets along with teammates. Personally, I doubt that Bosa is racist. I just think he’s young and a little sheltered from the crueler side of life.https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/...-media-activity | Matt Maiocco, NBC SportsWatching the press conference, I really got a feeling that Lynch has Bosa at the top of his draft board, but he was quick to heap praise on Quinnen Williams. It could be smoke to maybe influence the cards to take him so Bosa falls Womens Jerick McKinnon Jersey , or he genuinely wants to draft the guy. I don’t know, I just think it seems a little superfluous to even consider drafting him.https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/san-fr...e229553639.html | Chris Biderman, The Sacramento BeeAlong the lines of hyping up prospects, here’s an article about Lynch’s views on Kyler Murray.https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/...-2019-nfl-draft | Jennifer Lee Chan, NBC SportsAnd a couple more articles about topics covered in Lynch’s press conference.https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/04/22/4...covered-monday/ | Cam Inman, The Mercury Newshttps://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/sa...e229556914.html | Chris Biderman, The Sacramento BeeJoe Staley had a chance to talk to the media recently.

Taking stock of the 49ers after Day 5 of training camp." San Francisco 49ers News49ers Training Camp 2019Stock report from Day 5 of 49ers training campNew,26commentsWho’s up and who’s down? Taking stock of the 49ers after Day 5 of training camp.PDTThe San Francisco 49ers were given Wednesday off after four consecutive practices. The team returned on Thursday for Day 5 and were greeted by their first red-zone practice, with two out of the three final sessions taking place inside the 20-yard line. Kyle Shanahan’s offense took control early, getting the better of a defense that’s been the star through four practices.Here’s our stock report after Day 5 of the 49ers training camp:Stock up: Red zone offenseThe 49ers capped off Thursday’s practice with an 11-on-11 red zone period. It was a session dominated by the offense. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed five passes in six attempts including four touchdowns. Dante Pettis (twice), George Kittle and Matt Breida all reeled in touchdowns from the 49ers’ franchise quarterback. It was a solid step in the right direction for an offense that's struggled to establish any momentum against an impressive 49ers defense. Stock down: QB CJ BeathardThe battle for backup duties behind Garoppolo, while hopefully inconsequential, is one of the more heated battles of 49ers training camp. Former undrafted free agent versus third-round pick, Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard has been given sparse reps through the first five practices. Mullens has played well and seems to have established a lead in the competition. It’s an advantage that may have increased after Beathard’s performance on Thursday. The third-year quarterback only completed 2 of 7 passes during team drills and was one of five during the red-zone period.Stock up: WR Dante PettisPettis stock fell a bit on a previous report. His drops have become a steady issue through the first four days, a problem that wasn’t present on Day 5. Pettis was the 49ers’ go-to target during the red zone period of practice. He caught two touchdowns from Jimmy Garoppolo during the final 11-on-11 portion of practice Womens Deion Sanders Jersey , and one from Beathard. His highlight came during 1-on-1s while matched up against cornerback Richard Sherman. Pettis beat the veteran to the corner on a fade from Garoppolo, leaping up to haul in the pass before turning and getting his feet in for the score.Stock down: CB Ahkello WitherspoonWitherspoon’s been having an impressive camp so far, but he looked off on Day 5. He was victimized during the 1-on-1 portion of red zone drills, dropping reps to both Marquise Goodwin and Deebo Samuel. Witherspoon looked frustrated, which is odd considering his high energy throughout the first four practices. His performance on Day 6 will be one to watch.Stock up: DL Sheldon DayDay’s stock went up in our last report. He’s earned another mention. Day was the most disruptive defensive lineman during the team portion of red zone drills on Thursday. He racked up two sacks, and an impressive run stop while receiving additional work in DeForest Buckner’s absence. Day was a waiver claim two seasons ago; now he’s a significant factor among the 49ers’ talent-laden defensive line.Stock up: WR Richie JamesJames earned a stock increase much earlier than Day 5. It’s on me for not including him sooner. James has been one of the 49ers’ most impressive receivers through five practices. He’s earned the respect of all three quarterbacks. James’ highlight play of camp so far came on Day 3 when he reeled in a deep pass from Garoppolo over the coverage of safety Adrian Colbert, sprinting into the endzone for the would-be score. Given his ability on special teams, James’ chances at a roster spot seem very good.
