Yeah, the whole DL sounds insane right now.

I don't know who will start at LDE on early downs...probably Ebukam since he's really good at setting the edge. Then Omenihu slides inside, and a platoon of Jackson, Turay and Hyder at LDE in pass rush situations.

Not sure how they keep everyone honestly.

I think Willis and Givens will be odd men out

Ebukam has a cap of 6 million or something ridiculously high

He may be traded or cut if Turay looks anywhere close to him in camp

Yeah his hit is sizable, but he came on strong last year and by all accounts has carried over to OTAs. They seem to really like him so I would be surprised if he gets cut

Turay has plenty of speed and pop...as valued as pass rushers are, it was a little surprising nobody bit on him before the Niners did. At any rate, happy to have him. Agree, our DL and overall pass rush should be at or very near the tops in the league. We now have the quality depth at every position. Under Coach Kocurek's tutelage the sky's the limit.

It's nice that we seem to have a lot of talent at edge. Too bad it isn't spread around a little more.

This was my first thought when we drafted Jackson.

We're going to have to cut one of these DE's and they all belong on an NFL roster.

I believe we're thin at DT but our DE room is stacked.

if it would be ann coulter or jodi arias in that video. that would be awesome!!!

No holes on defense except for nickel corner and Hufunga at safety. Why we let shark walk when he would complete this defense unit.

im still pissed as hell at tartt but I think we should get him back

Shark was one of the reasons the Rams beat us.

He can't cover the slot corner

While I wouldn't necessarily call it a hole, I do think the interior DL is a bit concerning. If Kinlaw isn't ready to go, the 49ers are extremely thin up the middle. I'm not worried about our interior pass rush because Kocurek will move guys around and put edge guys inside. But the wide 9 and the way offenses attack it in the run game puts a ton of pressure on those 2 interior DL to hold up against a barrage of doubles. If Kinlaw isn't ready to go, we could see the 49ers could struggle against the run.

It'll be interesting to see how Turay, Ebukam, Willis, and Hyder do in camp. I can't imagine we keep all of them. I'm assuming Jackson's a lock.

Based on being a 2nd rd pick no way Jackson is cut, he got his first 2 yrs GTD, while Hyder & Turay got significant GTD money, so neither are going anywhere, if someone outplays Ebukam, he probably gets cut or traded, but I think he starts opposite Bosa.

Fair take. Run defense, prior to last year, has been pretty insignificant for us since moving to the W9 though. IIRC, we were giving up 1,800 yards annually with Buckner and it never really cost us in the W-L column.

And who runs anymore? Seattle?

That said, if Kinlaw's knees fail, so far, there are really good reports on Hassan Ridgeway as a wide bodied, early 2 down run stuffer.

But there isn't a D.J. Jones like player inside right now unless AA just takes off.

It's definitely something to keep an eye on esp. if we make the playoffs and match up against a team that can run very effectively. It's all about matchups.

There are only about 4 In nfl that can cover kupp. He's an above average slot corner and Denver got him relatively cheap.

No chance Givens gets cut. I don't know who does but it wont be Givens. Has there been any update on Hurst and if he will be ready for TC
