So unfortunate for AA to get injured again, but it does open up his spot to others to make an impression. I"m with you on getting as much depth at D Line and Cornerback. Specifically if we can bolster the edge rusher position with more depth, if not more talent, I'll be really happy with that.

when someone goes down for any reason.. you always look to see who can take advantage of the opportunity. still trying to figure out how craig dahl stayed all these years

Taylor is an upgrade over the bust Armstead. This is established already.

Unfortunately, Saleh will probably still start AA once he comes back. Just mind blowing to me. Do not understand what the point is anymore

I think they want to play him so they convince themselves if he's the future or not.

If this allows the team to move DeFo to outside on passing downs then this can only be seen as a positive. If AA and Thomas shore up the middle effectively then they can move him (Buckner) outside more often and create more mismatches

The only guarantees on the DL are that Solly & DeFo are starting. It's not even a guarantee where they're even lining up, lol

This is spot on.

Arik Armstead might not be a starter in 2018... I would wager that if the team gets the opportunity to trade him, they take it, especially if it's a 3rd rounder.

Agree - he won't be a starter - especially if Solomon can be an attacking force on the inside and Day, Blair step up.

Unfortunately, I can't see anyone giving us a 3rd for an ineffective, injury prone guy.
