Bennett is more end than tackle and that's how they said they envision playing Thomas. So I imagine AA can rotate some but he's largely out of the picture now, Thomas will be the primary 5 tech/ big leo and Buckner will play the same as last year and that's 45% 3 tech , 25% 5 tech, 25% 1. The key is we now have to still find Avril and Irvin.

Well that;s one man's opinion. Problem with CBs, Ss, WRs. QBs, and none was a top 3 or top 5 pick . They were in the top 6-8 maybe, but surely weren't the 2nd best player in the draft. Solomon was...er..#3 pick as we got the #2 pick plus an extra rd 3 and 4, both high, and a rd 3 next yr. And you think that is not the best player/pak we could have gotten? Wow, how we could have done better than that, i have no idea. We done great, a solid A. With the 3 extra picks, make it an A+ Ok, gotta give CHI a hand in making this an even better pick...but great job by Lynch. Great pick, best pick available for us. An IMPACT /all pro potential DL? Cripes you can't turn that down. Terrific pick, incredible valu for the pak.

I love lynch. Great job.

You don't select the best player available when the position of that player is a position that is deep on your depth chart. You select the player as just as good as him but at a position of need. I will never understand this.

Don't get me wrong, if he turns out great I will eat my crow with a smile and a full stomach, but this is one of those picks that seems like an attempt to be seen in a particular image

You select the best player available when you are 2-14....the fact that you are 2-14 speaks that there really are not any areas of undraftable players. Now when you factor in that the best player available is one at an absolute premium position which DL is, then it's a no brainer.

Side Note...I'm not bashing the pick. but piggybacking your thought process

John Lynch has the same amount of experience as Matt Millen too...

Strength? And why was that? We ran a 3-4 Lynch was out for a long time, Armstead and Buckner were young, and we had a incoherent DC. Now please tell me what SIGNIFICANT MOVES HAVE WE MADE TO IMPROVE THIS LEGION OF BOOM IN SF?

So what if he turns out to be on the same level as AA and Buckner then what?

I feel this way. I feel he's gonna be good, but preferred a different position. Our line should be dominant.

Just saw an interview with this kid. Very well spoken, polite and excited to be a Niner. Dline and Oline can never hurt when you are rebuilding. I trust in Lynch and his team.

Yeah, kindergarteners aren't very durable against NFL players.

I wish you were kidding... The secondary was way down on the list of awful things about the team last year. Not complicated. Lynch was out for most of the year along with Armstead, and Buckner was young, but that makes the fact that our secondary didn't get lit up every other play fairly amazing. They hung in and never gave up.

Was our d-line so much better than the other positions that it made no sense to draft another DL, or are AA and Buckner very mediocre? Not sure what argument you are making.
