I focus on TE. I also think Hunter Henry is gonna get franchised as well, so I focus heavily on Jonnu Smith. I believe he would be a perfect "safety blanket" for Lawrence.

I'd love to go after Leonard Williams either as a 3-4 DE or as a 4-3 3 technique. He might get franchised, we'll just have to wait and see. I'd also go all in on Trey Hendrickson, but I don't see any way the Saints let him go. He will almost certainly be franchised.

Safety is most certainly the area we have to fix in free agency. We have terrible Safeties. I sign a starter in free agency and hopefully, we draft another starter. There are several guys we could target. Justin Simmons is my choice, but we could target Anthony Harris, Jalen Mills, Marcus Maye or Marcus Williams. Any one of these guys would be a HUGE upgrade over the guys we have.

I'd love to add a veteran FA CB to start opposite Henderson. I don't know if Patrick Peterson makes it to free agency, but if he does I drive up in a brinks truck. I'd like to re-sign Sidney Jones as well. He is a good cover guy when healthy, but he is always hurt and can't be relied on, so he'd have to take a modest deal. I'm also intrigued by younger players like Kevin King and Desmond King. Neither of them should cost that much and have some upside.

With what money? The Saints are 100M in the hole. I’d gladly take Hendrickson and Marcus Williams from the Saints since they won’t be able to afford either.

I’ve read that New Orleans might not even be able to keep Ryan Ramczyk long term. I’d seriously consider offering a high draft pick to them for Ramczyk and move him back to LT.

I would easily give up a first and a 3rd round pick, if that's what it took to get Ramczyk. I wanted to draft him instead Leonard Fournette. People said I was stupid, because he could have been had much later in the draft, but just look at him. He's an All-Pro OT. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Trent Williams can't be franchised by the 49ers..

I didn't know that. I did read where the Niners are scrambling to try and get him re-signed before free agency and he apparently wants to stay in San Francisco.
