Can we keep Nicks in 4 days?!

He's gone. Question is... who takes his place? Our highest draft picks (assuming that we still have them come April) are going to be spent on defensive players that fit Spagnuolo's defensive scheme. We absolutely will not have the money to spend in free agency on a decent replacement. Who's on the roster now that we can trust with protecting Drew? Assuming of course that he's even our QB when next season rolls around.

resign Bushrod and move him to guard. Put Brown on the outside. Alot cheaper and a good stop gap.

I'd rather see them move Strief to guard and put Brown on RT, but even more than that I'd go with either DLP or Tennant at center and the other one at LG - that is if we are choosing from just the current roster.

But I have to admit that I don't know much about this guard named Nick Howell they signed to reserve/future contract in January, so he might be a "diamond in the rough" for all we know.

Second year pro from USC (6-5, 295lbs), has been waived by the Titans who signed him as an UDFA and then by the 49ers.

His pro-day results from 2010 were: a 5.01-average 40, a 31 1/2-inch vertical, an 8-11 broad jump, a 4.43 short shuttle, a 7.36 three-cone drill and 38 bench press reps.

But no way should they start Bushrod at LG - no way.
