Bosa camp all the way but worried that Zona might choose him pre KK and Kyler. When the KK and Kyler declared, there was a possibility he may fall to us. I still didn't get my hopes high until Kyler puck was in. My backup plan was to trade down and get Burns or one of the next tier Edges. I like Q and Winovich on a trade down scenario aswell if Bosa was gone.

I ain't gonna lie...I was down for a trade down months before the draft, then warmed up to Bosa as draft got close though the injuries were concerning...never was really down for QW because we needed ER more than anything

Bosa all the way-simply cause we had no real DE pass rusher and we had 3 DT. Was not worried about his injury, he didn't rush back. If anything worried he would be rusty. Don't be surprised if we pick DL again since we lost Buckner.

100% Bosa. Easiest decision ever. Bosa had a pro level body, pro level technique, and he filled a need at a very important position. Barring injury (the injury risk was minimal), I knew he would transform our defense right away.

I did NOT want Williams under any circumstance. Bosa or someone else.

There are a lot of silent Bosa haters.

Remember the Mods had to threaten people to stop talking about his politics? Wasn't he supposed to be a bad teammate and a locker room cancer? Didn't he quit on his team? What about his short arms? Doesn't play against OTs with long arms like Oklahoma? Only getting hype because of his last name? Injury prone? Average athleticism compared to QW who is a physical freak?

I was with Q. Thought he was the best player in that draft but it's obvious Bosa has been by far the better fit for us. Bosa is a lot better football player than I thought he was. I'm glad I was dead wrong.

Also I wanted Q because I thought he could replace Armstead or Buck. But with last season's play I am sure we made the right pick

Luckily, we were able to convince the mods(thl?) to reverse the lock and leave the thread to stand in all its glory.

I still remember people ripping Bosa before the draft lol...

Short arms
Slow get off
Struggles vs athletic tackles with long arms
Injury prone
Will hold out like his brother
Doesn't play hurt
Quit on his team
Never even had double digit sacks in college

Did I miss anything?

I think you nailed it.

Fast forward and the image of Nick crying after the Super Bowl loss shows just how wrong they were

I'd rather remember him forcing a fumble off Mahomes and pretending the game ended right there

It should be a reminder to people that injuries are usually luck related. Guys who have never been hurt could tear their ACL in week 1. Guys who have injury red flags could stay healthy their whole NFL career.

After I watched QW hand fight with tackles a few times in college I wanted him to be a niner in the worst way. Bosa's injuries scared me more than just a bit.

O well.
