Center. We need a center. Not much there in the FA market at this point.

Well, with Chris Paul back at LG, that leaves Allegretti at Center OR ideally Coleman who should be starting somewhere on the line. IF Brandon Coleman can become an effective Center (he played some in college I hear) then the woes of Allegretti are gone. However, I heard Keim indicate he spoke with someone who knows line play outside the team who didn't think there was a huge dropoff from Badass to Allegretti, primarily due to leadership and asserting the right calls, of course physically he's not as good. So, having Paul back has a domino effect of flexing Brandon Coleman to Center as a new possibility. Although I bet they still draft on in say the 5th round, where they can still be found. I think I am ok with where they are at Center now. My main worry is WR2, WR3, CB2, RB1, then maybe Safety and more Edge and Kicker.
WR2 is a legit gap that MUST be resolved, the rest we can survive another year if need be

I'm starting to think about who's out there for WR2, most of these guys have attitude concerns, including both 49ers guys. Deebo is fine though, so he should be an option. Keenan Allen is 32, but he's a big dude and can play the slot and outside. I can see a world where we sign him for a year to be our #2. I know he is not 25, but neither is anyone else worth a crap who is available. Other guys are either small slot only guys, or have some sort of legal trouble or curse guys wives on the field (jennings)
Deebo doesn't do that crap. Having a good teammate is more important than another 100 yards receiving in my opinion.

Why are all the remaining available WR head cases?

Or should I ask, why do NFL GMs not immediately sign highly talented WR who have a chip on their shoulder, to the point where they get arrested, or assault, or bad mouth, or refuse to honor contracts..I mean what the hell is up with these primandonas?
Give me Art Monk 2.0 please.
Deebo is looking better with every passing day

Yes I heard Keim say the same thing so it does look as though it'll be Allegrettu and Coleman battling it out for the starting job and, as you say, drafting somebody in the 5th or 6th
