Day was literally signed off the street. Guys better than him get cut and signed every single day. He's a depth guy, nothing more. If the 49ers cut him tomorrow, they wouldn't skip a beat. He's like the Cassius Marsh of DT's.
Jones hasn't proven much in the NFL. So far he looks like a solid backup NT. Certainly nothing to declare him starter caliber.
Basically its Buckner at DT, Armstead at 5T for a year and then we all hope that Thomas can come around. Beyond that, a bunch of replacement level players and an unknown ACL project in Street.
Day is a great rotational player and played well when given snaps...Not sure how you could say he couldn't start on say the cards or other teams.
49ers held Jaguars, No. 1 rushing team in NFL, to 3.3 ypc thanks to violent defense like this. Both Reuben Foster and Sheldon Day do something they'd already done before: Crush Leonard Fournette. On the same play. pic.twitter.com/DsTQ1zVRuM

Jones also showed he could play.
Looks like DJ Jones been watching some Rankins film. #49ers https://t.co/J5uZI04t3v pic.twitter.com/mKPNSsrpZR

DJ Jones had a very strong game against Denver and was a key reason why Phillip Lindsay couldn't get much going on the ground. pic.twitter.com/43b02AYJzw

There's a whole video breakdown of Thomas in the NT thread of him at DT.
Man just hating on all our young DTs who played well when given snaps because you love you some Q. He's a great talent but we have a ton of good young DTs.

Dude has been a saint since going to college, yes he shouldn't have hit that women, but I also don't hate the man for defending his sister.
Let him sit a yr, find out what we have with Thomas and we can get our money out of AA for a yr.
Dude was regarded as a top 5 prospect before the injury.
OR we just don't upgrade DT and get quality talent at positions of need to make the team better overall
I don't give a crap if he's been Mother Teresa, when there is a video of you pummeling the hell out of a woman, I don't want you on this team. And that was before the ACL situation.
Smh Do not draft.

But they are, no different than Marsh. They are fine as depth but won't stop you from looking for someone better. High quality DTs don't wind up on the street during the middle of the season.
You think the 49ers would give Day a big money extension?
Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:Marsh had some nice moments too. I think mostly you're overrating some average to below average talent. There isn't a single DT other than Buckner that couldn't be easily replaced. Armstead is fantastic for his role but he's not even really a DT in this defense and will be gone next year regardless of who they draft.
DT's with run stopping ability and minimal pass rush ability are a dime-a-dozen in the NFL. You could cut Day tomorrow, replace him with another FA off the street and be the same.

I agree with Phoenix here. Nobody is lining up to take these guys from us. Thomas, AA, Jones, street. Young guys on rookie deals to keep.
We can get rid of the rest and even one of them mentioned above if need be. Don't forget this assuming QW is starting next to Buck.

Solid is another word for average. If this team didn't have Buckner, DT would look like a mess.

Who says they have to give Day a big money extension? He's a good rotational player that played well when given a chance, same with Jones.
I'm not saying any of these guys are better than Q. I'm saying out DTs group was worlds better than our edge group. You could say out IDL is the best group on either side of the ball.

Thing is with Buckner, Ford and say Bosa you don't need an all pro to make plays next to those guys. Thomas still has a chance to reach his legit potential, who knows how much his sisters suicide affected his play, not to mention the constant out of position snaps he was getting. Getting Bosa let's those guys play where suits them best.
I'm sure people will be ok if Thomas is allowed to move inside and finally plays close to his draft status? I understand you don't want to rely on him since end of the day it may never work out but once again...Buckner is there as well. It's not relying on Thomas to carry the unit. Even if he's just solid with Bosa, Buckner, Ford we're scary. If he comes close to his potential we have the best front in the league.
