First round draft pick Patrick Willis agreed with the 49ers on a contract at the beginning of training camp.  Willis was the last draft pick that the teams needed to sign and they got the deal done so he wouldn’t miss anytime of training camp which is always good for rookies.

Willis (6-1, 242) saw action in 45 games with 22 starts at Mississippi and finished his career with 355 tackles, 11 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception. In his 22 games as the team’s starting middle linebacker, Willis had at least 10 tackles in 19 of those contests. In 2006, he became the first player in Ole Miss history to win the Dick Butkus Award, which is awarded annually to the nation’s top linebacker. Willis also earned first-team All-SEC and SEC Defensive Player of the Year as a senior.

The San Francisco 49ers announced Monday that they have signed fourth-round draft pick Dashon Goldson. Terms of the contract were not announced by the team yesterday.

During his three season career at the University of Washington, Goldson had 194 tackles, four interceptiosn, four fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, and 18 passes broken up.

The 49ers have now signed five of their nine draft picks.  Will the others get signed before training camp? Time will only tell!

The 49ers sixth round draft pick, Thomas Clayton has signed a four year contract the team discussed yesterday.  Terms of the deal have not been released however.

Clayton played for the Kansas State Wildcats and rushed for 322 yards last year and three touchdowns on 67 carries.  He only played about half of the 2006 year so that is why his numbers look so low.

I don’t expect Clayton to see much time, maybe some snaps in the preseason but we all know that Frank Gore is the 49ers running back now, and in the future.  So unless there are some freakish injuries I don’t expect Clayton to get much of an opportunity.

The 49ers have signed their first round draftee Joe Staley to what is thought to be a five year contract.  Terms of the contract have not been disclosed as well but I would think Staley will be getting some decent money.

The 49ers have officially signed three of their nine picks. They’ve completed deals with outside linebacker Jay Moore, nose tackle Joe Cohen and cornerback Tarell Brown.

The 49ers have also agreed to terms with two free agents to join the team for training camp next week, according to league sources.  The 49ers will add tight end Zach Hilton and cornerback Markus Curry to their 80-man roster. The moves could be announced as early as today.
