Stanford. Solomon Thomas. 2. player. 42. Obviously, the need is there at QB for the San Francisco 49ers but the player isn’t at No. 2 overall. This why there is so much talk about the team trading for Kirk Cousins or Jimmy Garoppolo. But GM John Lynch and HC Kyle Shanahan can get him for nothing at all in one calendar year.. <p>It’s too expensive for the Redskins to franchise him again and he wants to play for the 49ers. Plus they have six-year contracts so they can be patient and build the team the right way.. Meanwhile, we’ll see what Shanahan can squeeze out of Brian Hoyer, who has taken a team to the playoffs.</p> <p>On defense, the 49ers have already started building their front-seven with Deforest Buckner and Arik Armstead. They just nee DE Aaron Lynch to play like he did in 2015 and ILB Navorro Bowman to stay healthy, Shanahan is bringing that 4-3 hybrid defense to the 49ers so they need hybrid players.</p> <p>Solomon Thomas is one of those hybrid players that can play any D-line position except NT. He can go in and make a difference on that defensive front right away, helping the defense improve. If everyone stays healthy that 49ers defense is going to give the team chance to win some games in 2017.</p>. DE
