49ers shopping Solomon Thomas

Future · Apr 25, 2019

Do the 9ers run a 3-4? I can't remember.

He might be a better fit in Dallas' scheme.

This guy is Taco without the cool name.

Solomon would’ve been the wiser choice.

anybody seen 49ers play a lot recently?.not even sure why they drafted him.

He had classes with John Lynch at Stanford after Lynch went back to school. Both are Stanford Alumni.

He is a "tweener" (see my stupid draft analysis talk post) of a DE and DT. That means he is no good at either. He does have decent strength and agility but his acceleration and explosion is not good for DE and only weighs 273 too light for DT.

As the 49ers prepare to add another defensive lineman with a top-five pick, they could be parting ways with the player who arrived via the third overall pick in 2017.

Per a league source, the 49ers are shopping defensive lineman Solomon Thomas

I'd do Thomas for Taco straight up.

He does? I guess he blew the combine apart?

By measurables, I mean burst and bend and straight-line speed which he lacks at DE.

Serious question: What are these world class measurables he possesses? I really don't see them.

As a DE:
88th percentile in bench press
81st percentile in 20 yard shuttle
88th percentile in 3 cone drill
94th percentile in broad jump
74th percentile in vert jump
83rd percentile in 40 yard dash

As a DT:
80th bench press
87th 20 yard shuttle
92nd 3 cone drill
96th broad jump
85th vert jump
90th 40 yard dash

Good move by niners. They're getting nick bosa.

The idea is to drive the asking price down, not up.

All kidding aside, I don't think the 49ers would want Taco. In this hypothetical, they'd be taking Bosa to start across from Dee Ford.
