LOL Key is training at the same place as Solly. Key looks lean, which I think is good. He was a better pass rusher when he played around 230-240 lbs. His game revolves around the speed rush, but when he was bulked up, he lost his first step and ability to close. If the 49ers see him as a situational pass rusher, being that light shouldn't be an issue.

It's kinda crazy how those guys are out there training and our boy Bosa is just doing recovery and burying his bone in his girl and will be 100,000,000,000 times better than those guys next year.

Swapped Thomas for Key. He's definitely an upgrade at edge.

Is he though?

1 sack = upgrade

Same sack numbers since Key was drafted. Thomas had 3 as a rookie.

Key: 3 career sacks
Thomas: 6 career sacks

I'm surprised at this. If he was good why would the Raiders release him? I saw great potential when I watched him as a rookie, but there was a huge issue with consistency.

I'm fine with taking a swing, but this had better not stop us from drafting an edge on Day 2.

Raiders cleaned house this off-season. Total speculation on my part but I think there was locker room problems and Gruden just wasnt gonna deal with it.

Bite your tongue! He may be the next 49ers head coach if Shanny and Lynch screw up the #3 pick!

Just the fact that he smacked down Russell Wilson and Matt Stafford I'm good with him on board.

Good point!

Corner and guard have to take priority. Still could go edge but I'd honestly prefer two OL and a corner.

I agree

Offensive line and defensive backs have to be addressed rather early
