Report: 49ers to acquire Ford from KC, give him new deal

 

[Montalban]

""Ford did his job exceptionally well last season, recording 13 sacks and forcing seven fumbles. Outside of defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, the 49ers lacked a consistent pass rush. The 49ers, as a team, generated just seven takeaways on the season""

Ford was PFF's top rated pass rusher last year. He looked good against the Patriots in the playoffs too but Brady was so good at getting rid of the ball before the edge pressure could get to him.

Dee Ford had a breakout year in his fifth season as a pro, the first season in which he earned an overall grade higher than 65.0. His overall grade of 88.6 ranked 11th among edge defenders in 2018, and his pass-rush grade of 91.0 ranked first. Ford led all edge defenders with 77 total pressures (45 hurries, 17 hits, 15 sacks).

That's where having Buckner pressure the QBs face will help.
