On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, it’s a free agency frenzy! Should we expect Richard Sherman to be the same player he was in Seattle? (6:20) Why did the 49ers choose to add a center in free agency rather than a guard? (20:54) And is Jerick McKinnon really worth paying as a top-five running back? (37:30) All that, plus why the 49ers hate everyone you wanted to sign, the value of a pass-catching RB, and whether Lynchahan has a blind spot for players at non-premium positions.

Watching Richburg and it doesn’t take long to see why Shanahan would like him. Centers often have to make tough, key blocks on outside zone. Richburg has the movement skills to make them. pic.twitter.com/khuWEEICD5
