This makes a lot of sense. we could only keep one of AA and Buckner. It was either Buckner at a cost of 4-5 million a year more or AA at 4-5 million a year less plus getting the # 13 overall pick in the draft. Yes, We have to hit on that pick for this deal to have been good but that pick is extremely valuable.
The 49ers saved $11.703M by trading Buckner, this is due to a player taking his spot on the top 51 rule.

You can say that for every DT not named Donald. He's in a class of his own.
Whether you felt he was dominant or not his play definitely freed up others to get sacks. My concern now is how much this loss puts on Bosa carry so much of the load especially with Ford's durability in question.

The foundation of our team just got weaker.

Wrong! AA already proved he was deserving of an extension and Buckner proved he was trade meat! Dynasty!
Over 1 year where a guy had good production on his contract year? Buck has been solid and consistent since day 1. AA has not.

If anything this changes things for Armstead. But Armstead was already better at beating double teams than Buckner.

Exactly. This is my biggest concern as well. There's no doubt that the trade was a good move, but now you're depending on Nick Bosa and 2 guys who have barely been able to stay on the field, especially Dee Ford. I don't expect him to play more than half of next year's games.

Can't sign them all. We took the cheaper guy and got premium picks for Buckner. I'll live with that.
It's time to see what Solly can do at with his natural position with no double teams.
It'll be a heavy rotation inside anyhow including AA on passing downs. A number of DL always get let go too like Linval Joseph.

Once we drafted Solly and Armstead balled out, we had to alleviate our logjam inside somehow. Props to Lynch for selling Buck at a high point and the getting a #13th pick in the process.
Damn impressive considering Hopkins only got a 2nd and Calaias Campbell a 5th.
