Definitely a positive that Wisnowsky can also kick-off, but even if he didn't we wouldn't use another roster spot? The PK would do it.

It was an early grab...but the dude's a stud. #1, he's an Aussie, #2 he's a beast that can boom it and run pretty fricking fast, #3 it looks like Staley and McGlinchey have a new drinking buddy.

In our defensive scheme, the LEO (Dee Ford) is geared for the most sacks. The Big End can get sacks, but that isn't really his main role like the LEO. Although Bosa can still win defensive rookie of the year, should he be the favorite?

The Big End has to play the run well, so hopefully Bosa can hold his own in that area? Everyone will expect a lot of sacks, but he has other responsibilities too.

Bosa is clearly best at big end because he can kick inside and take on guards if you want to scheme dudes. Ford is the so-called Leo, and that's simply how it should be....period.

"For as good as head coach Kyle Shanahan is as a play caller, the 49ers regularly stumbled inside the 20 last season. They scored touchdowns on 41.2 percent of their trips to the red zone last season – the worst mark in the league. A healthy Jimmy Garoppolo should help in this department, but so should the addition of wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who’s very good at creating separation in tight spaces. Jalen Hurd, a third-round pick in this year’s draft, is a weapon who can be deployed in a variety of ways in the red area. Sixth-round tight end Kaden Smith is also a big target who might get some looks near the goal line. Free agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews is also a dominant red zone threat if he winds up making the roster. The 49ers identified this weakness and added a slew of players who should help them improve on it immensely."


Yes, they addressed the RZ too and unfortunately, something else had to give. That 'give' was the interior O-line and Defensive secondary.

Wouldn't helping on the O-line also help in the red zone. They added four players to "help" in the red zone but at least three in Samuels, Hurd, and Matthews. They should have added an OG instead of one of the three they added.

Again, you have four areas of concern and you have to decide which ones to address FIRST? You don't have four 1st round picks so you make a decision. Looked at this way, i agree you address pass rush first, and RZ second. These two areas are more priority than secondary and interior O-line.

I'm not defending the fact we didn't help the O-line, i'm saying you have to decide what to address first. Easy to complain but also easier said than done. You are better off explaining how you'd do it instead, not keep on complaining.

I agree the 3rd round pick could've gone to secondary or O-line, but it isn't as bad as first thought. If you watch Grant Cohn's video breakdown, Hurd makes sense all over the field. I agree a 4th rounder on a Punter isn't good value, but we didn't have a Punter. Do you draft a back-up OG in Round 4, or draft the best Punter prospect by a wide margin?

I'm not really complaining I'm stating a fact the interior O-Line is going to come back to haunt them. They could have addressed it instead chose to draft a green WR that could be used all over the field but is less likely to be highly involved this year or draft a guard in the 3rd capable of starting. Three or four O-Linemen were drafted that had the potential to start after they drafted Hurd. Free agency also offered a few with the ability to be starters and upgrades over what is on the roster. The interior of the offensive line was one of the three major issues they had done.little to nothing to address leading into the draft and still have done nothing. They added a CB, Safety (Ward), LB, Edge Rusher, RZ WR Matthews is actually good in this area when healthy. All of the players they added at these positions.can have an impact. No one they added on the O-Line will make an impact.

poewelch84 said:

It is a fact that they didn't improve the interior of the offensive line or do you consider that up for debate?

It is also a fact that they could have and didn't or do you consider that up for debate?

I don't consider that complaining just stating the truth I can't really spell it any clearer for you. Not improving the O-line is going to cost them a chance at the playoffs and they had every opportunity to do it.

deep9er said:

the truth is you can't fix everything at once, truth is you're ignoring the fact they addressed two other pressing needs FIRST. truth is you're citing "O-line" as though it is one position they could've easily drafted a starter.

Anyway, here is the definition of "complaint":

a statement that a situation is unsatisfactory or unacceptable.
"I intend to make an official complaint"
synonyms: protest, protestation, objection, remonstrance, statement of dissatisfaction, grievance, charge, accusation, criticism;


you have more than enough posts fitting this definition, trust me.
