This appears to be moving week around the NFL in the run-up to the open-negotiating period and the start of the new league year. No word, yet, on any 49ers' activity.

Big news in the NFC West with the expectation of the Rams acquiring CB Trent McDuffie from Kansas City for the No. 29 pick in the draft.

On my news feed, Rapoport got it on social media 10 seconds before Schefter, and both posts had accompanying photos of McDuffie.

He is a wide receiver, so he does not play defense. But he does catch passes and blocks.

It was the greatest atmosphere I’ve experienced as a fan. Gonzaga came to Moraga for the final time as WCC rivals of Saint Mary’s. Mikey Lewis scores 31, and the Gaels win their fourth consecutive regular-season conference championship with a 70-59 victory.

Kenyon Sadiq of Oregon runs 4.40 on his second attempt at the 40-yard dash after going, you guessed it, 4.40 on his first try at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Vernon Davis ran a 4.38 in 2006, and the 49ers took him at No. 6 overall.

TE Kenyon Sadiq of Oregon runs a blazing 4.40. Whoa. Will he be there at No. 27? Nope.
