jreff, man, it's okay to be wrong sometimes. Maybe Landry would play SAM for the 49ers and move to DE in subs, but he's well w/in the weight range to play LEO. His average arm length would likely be more of a hindrance at SAM, where he'd be expected to set the classic rush edge more frequently (albeit against a TE much of the time).

Chubb has the size to play the position all 3 downs, like Myles last year. Landry is not a 3 down LEO.

Huh? Cliff Avril Is 6-3 252 and was their starting LEO for yrs in Seattle. In 2016 he has more snaps than anyone on that DL.

It's not going to happen.

He's damn near the same size as Eli.

This. I can't fathom drafting a defender that can't play 3 downs being drafted at 9. Roquan Smith at 9 and Jeff Holland in the 2nd for pass rush help. We messed up last year by not taking Lawson. I just don't see the value in Landry in the 1st unless he's playing DL/Elephant.

And Saleh has him at SAM.

With all the talk about stopping the run, why would we drop Landry into a full time role at DE? None of our actual DE's are under 270. Keeping Solly at LEO on run downs and then moving Landry to LEO on passing downs makes the most sense.

And Lynch and Shanahan both said they will try Eli at LEO in TC this year...

And we tried AA there last year. Throwing s**t at the wall...

This is Eli's last year under contract. Drafting Harold and letting him take over the SAM makes sense if we let Eli go.

We still need somebody to play the other DE on passing downs long term. So the idea of drafting a true LEO is still there for next year.
