“There’s no doubt in my mind I’m going to play this year, and I’m playing 16 games,”

Making a Bid for Brooks
By Erickson | at: 6:44 am, filed under: 49ers News.Matthew Barrows of the Sacramento Bee is reporting that the 49ers will consider making a bid for former Virginia linebacker Ahmad Brooks in the July 13 supplemental draft, personnel director Scot McCloughan said Tuesday.
Last year at this time, Brooks was being mentioned in the same breath as A.J. Hawk—picked fifth overall in last month’s draft—when it came to the nation’s top linebackers. But the junior’s status soon plummeted because of injuries and questions about his maturity.
Healthier Look for O-Line

Moments earlier, left tackle Jonas Jennings completed his first practice since injuring his shoulder in October. And though center Jeremy Newberry won’t engage in any of the OTA that takes place over the next three weeks, he ran off the field with neither a knee brace nor a limp.
The 49ers’ offensive line could be much improved this year with Allen rounding into shape, Jennings returning from last season’s shoulder surgery and Newberry’s possible rebound from last year’s microfracture operation on his right knee.
