Good morning everyone, Ninjames here with your Nuggets for the day. Yesterday, a good portion of the league made their roster cuts to trim down to the league-maximum 53 players. The 49ers, though, made their cuts the day before because Mike Singletary evidently doesn't like to wait around for deadlines and the like. Not a whole lot went down for the 49ers yesterday. Maiocco was reporting some snippets about Brit Miller, Tukuafu and other players. Still scratching my head over some moves but a lot of my skepticism has faded to the background. Now I just can't wait for the Seahawks. I'm so excited for that game it's not even right, I won't be able to go, but if I could, Quest field is the away game I'd go to. Anyway, let's get to your links, folks..

Will the 49ers season be smooth sailing? Was this a rocky camp and an odd preseason amongst a division that's become known for them? Should be good to go now, right? (SacBee.com)
The moves the 49ers made on the roster were made for the future. That's nice, I was under the impression we wanted to be a playoff team now. (CSNBayArea.com)
Here's a season forecast from the Sacramento Bee. One I don't agree with at all. (SacBee.com)
Why not, another season preview for you guys, this one from ESPN. (ESPN.com)
You'd think they should spread out these posts, but whatever. More from the Bee on season previews and the like with a 49ers scouting report. (SacBee.com)

from the last link:
MM reports that Will Tukuafu, not Mitchell, will make the [practice] squad if he passes waivers.

When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
yeppp
We covered that a bit yesterday. Also reported that the team wasn’t interested in signing Miller to the PS.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Why yes???
Are you happy that Tuk is going on the PS? (I agree) or happy that Mitchell is not? (I disagree).

Agreed just wondering
Do you consider Mitchell not PS material? Yes given the choice between Tukafu and Mitchell I’d choose Tukafu but I’d choose Mitchel over some others.

Sign Rolle to the PS.
I like him over Maragos. I think we need to drop a DB and pick up a DL
I like him over Maragos and Taylor.
I like Maragos over Taylor, though. Just saying.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Have to agree with you...to a bit..still vacillating
Taylor is good and Maragos has upside…hmmm

Did Ansah make it thru Dallas cuts?
If not then he would be a good pickup at CB I feel and can play CB and S. Put him on the PS if he was cut. Imagine him and Rolle on our PS.

Brandon Jones is already cut from the Seahawks
With Hill cut and Wilhelm, I consider the coaching staff here more credible. I was wondering how long they would hold on to Robinson, he can’t play running back. Special teams is hard to make a carreer out of. When we as fans look at the cuts and say, hey there’s some good players in there, that’s a good thing. Especially considering who we have left on the team. My favorite thing is Pete Carrol is over there cutting out TJ to save money, trying to bolster his team with everyone’s leftovers or problem players, and getting hit with an injury to Okung. I can worry a little less about the Seahawks now. We should Draft a QB maybe look for a better F.A. next year and think about dropping Davis and Carr. I think we have enough stability everywhere else and enough youth to make it a priority. I also hope Alex is really good this year so we can have time to develop a QB. This Pre-season is in the books now and all we have to do now is execute what we’ve been learning, and make plays. I wonder if Drew Brees is going to try to put one in the back corner of the end zone at the last to beat us second like Favre did last year? What happened to Mark Roman anyway?
A question for all of you
As I look at the 49ers roster and ask what do we need that we don’t already have (or have potentially as a development project player), I’m not sure of the right answer(s). Which position(s) should we be trolling for among the waiver wire players? I can see another ILB for depth (or can we assume McKillop will be back next year and that Briggs is there for an emergency while we speed dial Wilhelm)? If we assume the coaches know what they are doing (and I do assume this), we may have our two potential CBs of the future incubating on the current roster (Adams and Brock)—-but I too would like to see Myron Rolle get a good long look for the PS. Where else position-wise should we be looking for promising rookies or discarded veterans?
We have a nice right tackle
his name is Davis, Anthony Davis, our pick at #11 in last year’s draft.

And another nice right tackle in the incubator
His name is Boone, Alex Boone, an undrafted free agent last year now on the 53-man roster and developing.

Oh LOL well ummm...yeah..kinda agree LOL
I’m cautiously optimistic about Chilo. He’s both shown some “game” and shown some screw ups.

What I see as our possible "needs"
I put that in quotes because I think we’re pretty ok right now.
I would like us to get some more DB’s Rolle and Ansah (possibly gone soon from Dallas) would be good choices. Both are Safeties but could play some CB at least I feel.
DE would be good. NinJames mentioned a guy that was let go and he is possible.
There’s not much around on the NT prospect though I’d like to get one. That is for next year’s draft there a few possibilities there. Also we have Mitchell (if he makes PS)
Love to find some ST guys to fill in for what we lost. But not sure how that will work out.
