Football Outsiders went through each team in the NFL to determine which position is the biggest hole on every roster. For the San Francisco 49ers, they chose edge rusher.
Think about the players who the Niners have on the edge. Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, Samson Ebukam, and Arden Key. On paper, how many teams in the NFL are better? We have to add context here, though.
Bosa is coming off an ACL injury and likely won’t look like “Bosa” for a few games until he gets his legs underneath him. Armstead wore down in 2019 after playing too many snaps.
