This is a very good RB. If he falls to us it would be a good thing

I'm sure numerous GMs get the majority of their information off sportwriter articles.  Maybe they pay $ for Mel Kipers mock too.

Agreed. There are some good back out there for the 3rd round. But that might mean a different player falls to us.

Pace might go HB in round 3.  But who plays safety in 2020?  Ha Ha is a FA and so is Devin Bush after next season.

Per Twitter, Lynch re-signed for 1M base salary, plus a signing bonus of 250K or so. Bargain.

Houston-Carson and Sclaes re-signed for 3-year vet minimum...around 720K.

Bears still have roughly 17.7M cap space.

I could definitely seeing Pace going cornerback in round 3.  Prince Amukamara turns 30 soon...and there's the salary.  Plus you can't have too many good CBs.

Lets pave the way for Robbie to come back:

The 49ers used their franchise tag on kicker Robbie Gould, but a report indicates that they may be looking in another direction at the position.

Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com reports that the team is interested in Stephen Gostkowski. The longtime Patriots kicker became a free agent at the start of the league year last month.

Gould has not signed his franchise tag and the team could and likely would rescind it if they were to strike a deal with Gostkowski to take his place. Gould expressed some interest in exploring free agent opportunities before the 49ers opted to use the tag earlier this year.

49ers General Manager John Lynch said last month that there was still a chance of striking a long-term deal with Gould, although interest in Gostkowski would suggest that things are not progressing all that quickly on that front.

A report last week indicated that talks between Gostkowski and the Patriots about a new deal haven’t heated up. There’s been no word of other teams making a run at the 13-year veteran.

Gould has a high salary and Pace has to be careful with money considering several starters are coming upfor contract next year.
I wonder if Gould would give the Bears a break to play where his family lives.
