Supplement Mitchell with Dalvin Tomlinson in the draft and we're good to go at the nose.

I think Mitchell could really elevate this young line with some mentorship and experience.
I already can see some developing cbs on the outside. I like move. EM could be more value to the team than we could imagine. Small move to instantly put our dline into top 5 unit on paper. Good job by the FO.
Thank goodness you have nothing to do with the decision making process.

As depth, possibly playing a lot as DT in nickel, or in base as a rotational Strong side end, or weak side tackle, seems like a good signing. Especially considering the other teams that were interested (Seattle, Atlanta, who run the same D we will, and Denver, who knows D)
If he's supposed to be our 1 techWe still need 1 or two Fat Guys.

Good signing, $16M over 4 years is a good investment, that's $4M a year average wise, not bad IMO.
Should see terms hopefully by Monday, depends on when it's officially signed and submitted to the NFLPA.

that's a bold statement to make.
Very bold. Almost "mark my words" bold.

When you consider how many physical Dlinemen are on the roster already, this move tells me there will be more moves regarding this position and that includes cuts.

Love the signing. I'm sure once the numbers come out it will end up being a 1 or 2 year deal with the team being able to get out of it after that with little dead money hit. I still wouldn't mind resigning Dorsey as well. But I love how aggressive our FO has come out in FA. And based off Lynch's comments on KNBR the other day I get the feeling he's not afraid to do what it takes to get the guys they like wether it's FA or via draft. So expect a lot more additions, maybe some trades and maneuvering in the draft.

I guess. I was under the impression he was a run stuffer so I was excited but now I guess a depth signing in a 4-3 scheme. Dorsey is probably gone and who knows if Armstead will remain healthy. 5.5 sacks sucks. Does he solely collapse the pocket without much production via stats? I don't know lot's of money for depth.

Like? We have ZERO true 1T's on the roster so I don't think this is accurate.

A.Armstead
D.Buckner
R.Blair
Q.Dial
T.JerrodEddie
Z.Moore
M.Purcell
C.Jones
On top of this the guys who are potentially being looked at to transition to the Dline
A.Brooks
A.Lynch
T.Carradine
E.Harold
And now...
E.Mitchell
That's 13 bodies on the Dline and F/A hasn't even started.

Brooks, Lynch, Tank, and Harold play entirely different positions. They'll be at LEO or SAM which isn't the same. Also, Purcell is an obvious cut while TJE and Jones are FA's. Moore was just picked up and is nothing more than a shot in the dark at the moment.
