This gives you 4 credible threats to rush the passer. Solly may not be quite the menace Buckner is inside, but if we scheme him a chance he'll get plenty of pressures.

Even if we use him as a "plugger" he can do very well in that role because that plugger's job is to shadow the QB in the A gap and Solly is plenty fast at DT to do that. That leaves QB's no where to go. Can't go up the middle, can't go outside annnnnnd sacked.

you missed

Ford-QW-Buck-Arik

it just makes no sense to me . they get williams when they have a pro bowler in that spot. unless they are doing the nutty professor thing and saying we can move buck to the outside

QW would replace Earl Mitchell, in my opinion. Not Buck or Arik or Solly

Any scenario that is not last year is a win.

It's hard to think of a team that has upgraded the edge as much as the niners might be in one offseason. From Marsh and Blair to PFF #1 edge rusher Ford and Beast Bosa.

Complete with the usual Armstead omission and Thomas invitation to the party.

I'm on the Bosa bandwagon. Yes QW is probably the better prospect but if we look at the metrics, that position has less value because it's easier to replace.

This! Which is why Buckner said he's fine with picking williams

Base Downs: (~1/3rd of downs)
QW - Buckner - Kent Street - Armstead

Nickel: (2/3rds of downs)
Ford - QW - Buckner - Maxx Crosby (D3-4) (or Armstead or Street)

Also rotate in: Blair / DJ Jones / Day

Trade Solomon for a D3-4
