I was mocking him in every mock last year. But obviously didn't come out.

Would love him as a designated rusher

Combine? We already don't have a chance at him now after Senior Bowl week

I think right now we could trade up, after the combined, I don't think that would even be an option.

I see him on big boards in that 30-40 range.

Man, this is such a bad edge class imo. No blue chip talent, and super shallow. The best guys lack elite athleticism, the elite athletes lack everything else, and the depth is full of 34OLB archetypes. Really wish players like Princely and Jasheen had declared and that players like Abdul Carter were eligible.

Thankfully, it's a pretty good FA class.
Brian Burns
Danielle Hunter
Josh Allen
Chase Young
Jonathan Greenard
Zadarius Smith
Bryce Huff
Josh Uche
Leonard Floyd
Andrew Van Ginkel
Dorance Armstrong
Etc.

If I'm looking to go all in and the player is willing, I'm signing Danielle Hunter to a big deal. Zadarius or Floyd are your options for a moderate to large 1-2 year deal. I'd also he happy signing Chase to a moderate contract. But if I want a moderately priced long term option so that I don't have to platoon new cast-offs every year, I'm looking at Greenard and hoping he can stay healthy.

If I'm the Niners, I probably try to go after Smith, Floyd, or Uche. Hopefully we could afford them.

I think the rest will price themselves out.

Smith would be sweet. I've liked him since he first became a FA. Fits what we like at DE.

Uche would be sweet. Brings some explosiveness. Huff is underrated. Like Davenport as well.

I'll bet money we see a handful of guys get cut too.

I feel like Bralen Trice fits the mold of what we like along that DL

Great at setting the edge. Strong hands and thick build. Plays with crazy motor. Good speed to power. Pretty stiff and he's not super twitchy.



IMO he's not a first rd pick. Probably gets overdrafted. He's not gonna be an all-pro, but I've seen him comp to Frank Clark (as a player). I think we'd take that across from Bosa.

Marshawn Kneeland out of western Michigan was killing it at the Senior Bowl.





Id say he's a late day 2 early day 3 guy.

I love Trice. I think he is a top 50 talent for sure.

Kneeland I like some things, I think he's a slightly more athletic and slightly more physically appealing Kerry Hyder. Strong work ethic, good traits. Not very explosive or necessarily a twitchy edge, but he finds other ways to beat you with his hands, power, etc -- very powerful. Any time he hits someone it's an absolutely nasty impact. He would be a nice mid round option.

I'm a fan of Brennan too in the back half. Doesn't rush with any plan, doesn't have good length, but is a high effort guy who has the size and character to develop into something.

I agree, draft class of edge rushers seems weak
