The SF 49ers never got the production from their top pick in 2017, but it still makes sense to re-sign Solomon Thomas in 2021.
Did the SF 49ers get anything close to the kind of desired returns from their top pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, defensive end Solomon Thomas?
No, nothing of the sort.
The No. 3 overall pick in that year’s draft, the first player selected by general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan, fell short of expectations his rookie season before having to deal with the passing of his sister a year later.
