The 49ers are putting a ton of faith in Aaron Banks and Javon Kinlaw. If these 2 guys don't become impact players we are going to look back at this offseason and wonder what Lynch was thinking.
We drafted him that high knowing he had knee issues. This pick has mega bust written all over it. Even if we can somehow manage to get one or two good seasons from him, how long can those knees hold up?
Yeah just cause Gore was a HOFer, not the norm with bad knees.
What knee issues? A couple teams said he
might have arthritis down the road. Not a single team took him off their boards or failed Kinlaw's physical from what was reported. I believe he missed one game in his college career.
He legit hurt is knee in the Dallas game, turned out he tore his ACL and the clean up he had last off season wasn't the proper procedure to fix it. Sounds like he's finally 100% and got everything done correctly. He's still got work to do in the development department as a pass rusher, I expect strides to be made though. That talent and skill set is sky high.
