Honestly, I think I would rather bring back Arden Key who is still available then Ebukam

Imo, the other DE position should be more a hybrid DE that can defend the run better and more suited for a base 4-3.

Drake should be our DE on passing downs. Unless the coaching staff just doesn't think he can be that guy opposite of Bosa, there's no need to pay for that position. I wouldn't mind bringing back Hyder though since he can play both inside and outside and that's what we need there.

Also hoping we use one of our picks on speed rusher in case Drake underwhelms.

I mean Hyder can be brought back for peanuts. Same with Willis. You can get those run defenders on day 3 of the draft.

We need another guy on the outside that can legit rush the passer. Bosa goes down any time, we're f**ked. They need a rotation there.

Fair point.

Looks like there's still a decent amount available that can be productive. There's gotta be a player or two that didn't get his contract and we can get for on the cheap, just gotta wait it out.

Good luck. Drake should have those reps this year. Need to find some more quality depth guys. Need to draft another guy to develop

You've got to trim someplace and Ebucam was the right place. No way were the 49ers going for those prices. They will find someone cheaper and nearly as good.

9 mil a year? That's crazy. Good for him I guess, but he isn't worth anywhere near that. He's an above average player.

I don't even really understand what the Colts are doing.

Hiring commentators to be their Head Coach. Giving kickers the biggest contracts in history. Releasing their only QB even though they still have to pay him. Their owner in strangers' bathrooms doing God knows what. Now giving Ebukam 9 Million a year. I don't know what is worst. Lay off the Drugs Irsay.

Let's be glad. That's another comp pick coming. We lost Jimmy, McGlinchey, Ward, Mosely, and Ebukam. One of those cancels out due to Hargrave but thats at least one third and three others. Not to mention a couple more for personnel. We need talent on rookie contracts.

Congrats. Now get this thread out of here. You are either a Niner or not.

When you realize Omenihu was a 5th round pick, Ebukam a 4th, and Willis a 3rd, makes me confident we can draft and develop some edge guys. Hoping we double dip at edge.

Yannick is the guy I wanted before fa started. He's perfect for our scheme. He's dog poo at defending the run but you throw him out there on money downs across Bosa and hed be a great compliment rushing the passer.

Very Avg at best. Losing Omenhiu was a bigger loss. I hope we can add Yannick as a pass rush specialist
