Do you want us to draft a pure NT ...or a defensive lineman that can play both NT and DE ?

Fangio has stated ( I believe) that he likes the smaller, quicker NTs that also hold the POA well. Sopoaga also wasn't 1-gapping all of the time. This day and age, teams are better off with the penetrating 1 gapper. The excellent old-school 2-gappers taking on constant doubles are just rare to find... and the run game has (for the majority) taken a back seat to the high powered pass game.

Me? I don't really care for the 3-4 to begin with. Especially having a RE talent like Aldon.

I want an impure, immoral, perverse, blaspheming, scurrilous, evil nose tackle.

I do NOT care particularly how big he is, but I want him to squash the run, and push the pocket into the quarterback's nose.

Where we draft him is not a critical issue, as long as we draft him. Ideally, we get him in the 7th, and he turns out to be an All Pro.

edit: forgot the not.

Jessee Williams for the win.

Just my opinion, but I think having 3 penetrating D-lineman prevents the O-line from effectively double-teaming anyone, which allows Aldon and Ahmad to do their thing.

The two guys I think fit that bill are Sheldon Richardson and Kawann Short.

Sylvester Williams 6' 3'' 315 13.5 tackles for loss and 6 sacks 42 tackles could play NT and DT or DE on our line we dont just want a one trick pony its turned into a pass happy NFL...i think the Niners trade down 34 to 40 or 41 and pick Cyprien or Reid.
