I legit think it's just the common thought that black athletes tend to be more athletic and white guys are more technical. Well time to get with the times fellas...white guys can be fast and athletic and black guys can be super technical as well.

Bosa isn't on the level of Myles Garrett or Von Miller in terms of speed or explosiveness but he's plenty fast for a DE and this idea that he's going to just get engulfed by big OTs due to his short arms and lack of speed to beat them around the edge is silly.

He's not perfect. He's got his flaws but he's also young and like ANY prospect he can be coached up more and improve from his college days. It's like because he's already technically sound that people think he's got no room for improvement.

That's crazy talk. He can develop more moves, work on his strength and speed, work on his agility, flexibility and improve from his college play.

This is a great post Genus, well done.

AA and ST will have no bearing on drafting Bosa. You take the BPA and the rest will sort itself out.

AA and ST would not be on the edge in sub packages and obvious passing downs. They liked AA at 1T in subs last year and Thomas is also seen as a guy who better fits inside in subs, so no effect on Bosa.

If Bosa is their pick should he be there, he will play opposite Ford and won't be required to be the LEO.

Honestly I know what they said, but isn't Ford a tad small for every down Leo?

What I mean is they draft Bosa if he's there and now they can scheme them all over. Leo, big end etc. would be great.
Lunch and dinner have him tell AZ he won't play them. Dude wants to be a niner

The love child of Howie Long and Justin Smith.

Am I the only one worried that, if chosen at #2, Bosa's gonna hold out like his brother did with the Chargers? Is that a valid concern?

Possible. But the Chargers had a reputation for pinching pennies on rookie contracts.
J. Bosa basically wanted a bit more earning power (double dip if he's cut after 4 years or signing bonus front loaded).
The rookie slots are set and this FO seems fine with front loading signing bonuses. So, I'm not sure if it'd be a big issue.

Also if I understand correctly the things Bosa wanted were pretty much standard procedure on rookie deals.

Lynch has been enamoured with the bosa family not surprisingly at all

San Diego were being Scrooge with those contract negotiations, they had to try and be different than everyone else. Saying that I do not see Bosa as a Top 3 pick.
Please not another DT for our first pick Lynch . Based on Maddog's draft board, this year's draft is pretty simple, there are 3 top edge prospects in the top 6, all we need to do is to pick one. If we pick another DT and all 3 edge becomes a pro bowler, John Lynch will be forever remembered for missing an easy layup.
On the radio, Papa said it's just one meeting with Bosa today fwiw. He said it's a late lunch/early dinner.

He's the voice of the Niners now. I'm sure he has some connections.
