49ers Trade Their Punter for a 7th round pick

[Popeyejones]

It's also being reported that the 7th round pick that the 9'ers acquired from the Browns just retired.....

"Being reported" meaning you ripped off your post from the second post in the webzone thread from minutes after the trade first leaked and didnt attribute it?

That kind of "being reported"?

Well if it was from the zone it must be true correct

49ers fans are serious about things like this, we wouldn't want to think a Seahawks fan scooped them now would we ?

Very resourceful.

That's a tactic that has helped launch many an enterprise.

Good Show.

Sad to see Lee go, but writing was really on the wall when Pinion was drafted. As Popeye said, I'm surprised they got anything at all. I thought Lee would lose out in camp and they'd let him go and get nothing.

Niners have been going younger at ST positions. They let LS Brian Jennings go a few years ago after HE was the longest tenured 49er.

Lee was a great punter, but he has fallen off a bit the last few years. His punting average has declined in each of his last three seasons.

Also helps ALOT that Pinion can handle long field goals/kickoffs for Dawson as well.

Ain't that the truth.

We will just have to see how Pinion turns out . . . Andy Lee was pretty steady, ranked in the Top 10 in punting every year by PFF, and was ranked sixth in the league in gross average (46.80) last year. In the almighty words of Rick Neuheisel, "punting is winning!"

49ers saved a little over a million dollars with this draft choice/trade, but they effectively moved from a 2015 5th Round pick (which they used on Pinion) to a 2016 7th Round pick (in exchange for Lee).

If I were a 49er fan, I would not feel that comfortable with this move. But as a Seahawk fan, I like the uncertainty it creates for them. Hopefully Tyler Lockett gets an opportunity to take some of those rookie punts to the house.

Actually, it was a 2017 7th round pick in exchange for Lee. Check that out on the value chart.

Since you seem so comfortable with numbers, I put it to you. Are there still humanoids running the show down there. Or, could it be running via software programs? Are the 49ers still a football team? Or has that program been reduced to so many zeros and ones?

Food for thought.

Pinion is also almost 12 years younger and playing on a rookie contract. I've never seen the guy kick so I can't even profess to have any idea how this will work out, but they liked him enough to draft him in round 5 and let a Pro Bowl Punter walk.

The continuing saga of firings, purges, and defections ...... so who is next?

That list of returning incumbents has really shrunk?

I guess we'll find out next Friday if there is more to come.

Maybe. But the number of punters and kickers who go undrafted and make it in the NFL is high enough that you can't tell me the Niners couldn't have had their pick of the litter if they hadn't drafted him. At the very least, a team that was suffering from the number of losses they have had in this offseason surely could have found more value for a 5th round pick than at a position that was already a strength for them.


Unless, they were worried Lee's aged foot would fall off from all the punting they expect to do this season. :stirthepot:

With all the punting they're going to do this season, maybe they should have kept two punters. With only keeping one of them, Marv and company will have something to crow about this year because their punter is going to lead the league in punt yardage.

Well we have seen what happens when you cut ties before a Kicker or a Punter has seen the live fire of a NFL game, it's much faster, with all the new players coverage and speed of the rush along with how fast he has to get the ball off and his steps. Placement, hang time, and then yardage. When your a team that the 49ers appear to be a Punter is the defenses best friend as well as the safety net of the offense.

The reason so many punters and kickers have long careers is because it's hard to replace them with good consistent mentally tough players.

Punters and Kickers are often playing will into their late 30's and some into their 40's, You say he seems to have lost something the last few years, changing stadiums, field position, types of Punts needed, or a direction from his coaches to hang more and give coverage time and less return yardage etc. You have to admit a lot of stuff went wrong and changed the last couple of seasons in S.F/S.C.
