The SF 49ers’ efforts to trade for EDGE Dee Ford in 2019 haven’t come close to providing the desired results, and the implications are still happening.

If SF 49ers general manager John Lynch could have a redo of moves he’s made since taking over in 2017, he’d probably elect to swap out his top pick from that year’s NFL Draft, defensive end Solomon Thomas, for someone like quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs or quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans.
