You're right...we badly needed Ford for that as well as Bosa on the other side.

LOL...what? The dude played 3-4 his entire college career and has zero issues holding point inside. The current film proves that here as well whether inside or outside whether run or pass.

The "too small" theory is nothing but a myth and it needs to stop esp. among 9er fans who should know better.

Why is everyone so enamored with AAs salary? The team obviously has the cap space & wanted to keep AA around another year. He just had the best year of his career, why dump him for a low round pick? He's not a superstar, but Arik Armstead is a solid DL who can play big end, DT and even played well at NT last year.

This crying to have ST play inside (I do it too) and excuses surrounding his lack of production are shocking considering that AA gets absolutely no recognition for the fact he just had his best year, is a versatile, big, still relatively young DL, why do you guys wanna be in the business of getting rid of those types of football players? ST would be at his best inside best Buckner? Guess what? So would AA, so how about we draft Bosa and let the both of them compete to play inside on passing downs and let AA compete at NT in base while letting the better big end of the two rotate in there occasionally also.

I agree, I've been saying any tape you watch on AA, he's always in the backfield whether it's against the run or close to sacking the QB, if somehow he can be more aware and actually make those big plays always he could be a star, to me that's the difference between being good and great, making those big plays when you're in position constantly, he just hasn't done that enough while seemingly in position to do a lot..

Simply put, the Niners aren't going to get rid of AA unless it's for at least the same level of comp pick they'd expect to get out of him for letting him walk in free agency in 2020.

As you said, you don't pay any "solid" player $9M for a one-year rental.

I was one of those who was not pleased with his salary...but I agree with this

It's not really a one year rental if you are getting a comp pick when/if he walks

That would go for a trade as well. At the end of the day, if you don't retain him, it's $9M for a one-year rental. You don't make that move unless you love the player and just need more time to complete a long term deal.
