所罗门·托马斯是一个热门的名字，钉住了49人和他们的第二整体选择在即将到来的NFL草案。

斯坦福防守的<a href="http://www.authentic49ersshop.com/shop-by-players-arik-armstead-jersey-c-1_7.html"> Arik Armstead Jersey </a>队员可能是第二好的与Myles Garrett预期可能首先去克利夫兰。但如果旧金山击中托马斯，它不会是一个无缝的合适。

这是因为49人在前两个选秀中使用了防守队员Arik Armstead和DeForest Buckner的第一轮选秀，他们被选中在球队的3-4面前进。旧金山在2017年正在过渡到类似海鹰的4-3，使用3-4人，而阿姆斯特德和巴克纳应该擅长。

Thomas played in a 3-4 at Stanford, tasked with disrupting opposing offenses from the interior against guards, much like Armstead and Buckner during their college careers at Oregon. Thomas is redundant, which might not necessarily be a bad thing. Depth is good.

The question becomes, if the 49ers think Thomas is the best pick at No. 2, how does he fit with those other two? And if the fit is questionable, is he skilled enough to transcend it and allow San Francisco to worry about the fit later?

Thomas is a tweener who might not have the length and explosion to consistently pressure the quarterback along the edge. He’s 6-foot-3 and 273 pounds with 33-inch arms, which isn’t prototypical of a pass rusher going against offensive tackle – particularly a pass rusher drafted second overall. San Francisco’s right tackle Trent Brown, for example, has 36-inch arms and would be able to get his hands on Thomas before Thomas could reach Brown.

But Thomas is also some 20 pounds lighter<a href="http://www.authenticbillsstore.com/shop-by-players-charles-clay-jersey-c-1_8.html">Charles Clay Womens Jersey</a>  than most interior defensive tackles in a 4-3, which would indicate he’d have to gain to weight to play against the run in base – making it less likely he could rush from the edge. J.J. Watt, for instance, can play all four spots along a defensive line. But he entered the league at 290 pounds in 2011.

Thomas realistically plays the same position as Armstead, which would be as a three- or five-technique along the interior, allowing longer, more natural pass rushers like Aaron Lynch and Ahmad Brooks to play the ‘Leo’ and ‘Sam’ positions on the edges. Buckner figures to be an every-down player if the team added Thomas or not.

4-3在防守前锋在基地将看起来类似于3-4前锋队在过去十年中运行的更好的部分。现在，它可能看起来像这样：

基础：

狮子座：Aaron Lynch（Tank Carradine）

DT：Arik Armstead（所罗门·托马斯？）

DT：Earl Mitchell（Quinton拨号盘）

DE：DeForest Buckner

Sam：Ahmad Brooks（Eli Harold）

子：

DE：Lynch（Carradine）

DT：Armstead（Thomas？）

DT：Buckner（表盘）

DE：Brooks（Harold）

托马斯计划成为一个三人下来的球员，<a href="http://www.authenticbroncosshop.com/shop-by-players-brandon-marshall-jersey-c-1_27.html"> http：// www .authenticbroncosshop.com / shop-by-players-brandon-marshall-jersey-c-1_27.html </a>意味着49人必须弄清楚Armstead是否值得拥有兼职，传球的角色，或者如果他在贸易市场上有更多的价值，一个运行他的自然3-4的团队。

新总经理约翰·林奇最终必须建立长期最好的名单。起草的需要，而不是采取最好的球员可用，往往会导致错误。需求被定义为时间上的快照，并且可以在练习或自由球员添加期间随着伤害而改变。此外，总是可以在草案后面讨论需要。

在防守线上有太多的破坏性球员永远不是一件坏事。但49人需要帮助上下的名册。他们在四分卫，自由安全，接力，线卫和边缘传球冲击，这将是更审慎的，当团队带过阿姆斯特德和巴克纳过去两年后，有洞。

旧金山的花名册不适用于<a href="http://www.authenticsaintsshop.com/shop-by-players-drew-brees-jersey-c-1_14.html"> http：//www.authenticsaintsshop 。豪华选择，如托马斯，为已经有天赋的位置增加深度。除非，或许，如果Armstead被交易。

像最近几个赛季的公羊一样，投资有价值的第一轮选择在同一个职位组有长期的风险。49人不应忽视名册上的其他地区 - 除非他们能确保托马斯会是一个每一个下来的球员。
