Wednesday http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic...aroppolo-jersey , May 29th, 2019 edition of the Golden Nuggets, a daily compilation of San Francisco 49ers links from the Internet"The last time the 49ers were a playoff team, the defensive line had the likes of Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Ahmad Brooks, and company. That line was able to put a lot of a pressure on QBs and caused all sorts of issues for offensives that allowed the defense to excel. Current 49ers GM John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan are trying to build a defensive line that is as formidable as that line. The defensive line has been rebuilding for a few years with high draft picks, but it has not produced consistently other than DeForest Buckner. The offseason was used to add the final pieces that the defensive line needed. The team was lacking pass rushers on the edge, but 2 of the biggest additions should address that need. Dee Ford was signed as a free agent after having an excellent year last season with the Kansas City Chiefs and Nick Bosa was drafted with the #2 overall pick in the draft. If either or both of these players can generate a pass rush and DeForest continues to play like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, this defense can be a top NFL defense. On Tuesday, the 49ers made a set of roster moves. Former offensive lineman Anthony Davis, who is trying to make a comeback, was released as was linebacker Pita Taumoepenu, a sixth round pick by the 49ers from 2017. The team resigned their former cornerback Dontae Johnson. Dontae spent the last year with the Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He left the 49ers after the 2017 season. 49ers linksWas a big need and hopefully it finally produces this season | Defensive front 4 was a priority this offseason (Biderman)Facing better talent will help the 2nd year lineman | Mike McGlinchey going up against a revamped d-line (Smith)Start of the 2nd week of OTAs (Maiocco)Kayvon Webster (Alper)Both spots are up for grabs | Safety battles (Madson)Kayvon Webster in for a workout (Branch)Team releases Anthony Davis (Williams)Anthony Davis seeks reinstatement, cut by team (Madson)Still looking for depth in the secondary (Madson)Dontae is making his return | Pita cut K'Waun Williams Jersey , Dontae Johnson resigned (Inman)Roster moves (49ers staff)Former 49er returns (Biderman)Can Dontae make the final roster? | Dontae Johnson returns (Branch)Joe should absolutely end his career as a 49er | Joe Staley (Williams) An Ohio State perspective on the 49ers first-round draft pick"We can dissect the San Francisco 49ers No. 2 overall pick Nick Bosa all we want. There will still be plenty of details we just don’t know. Patrick Mayhorn of Land-Grant Holy Landwas kind enough to take time and answer six questions about Bosa.1) Kyle Shanahan talked about how Bosa’s teammates felt about him. What was Bosa’s reputation around campus/teammates?Patrick: I can’t speak to his reputation around campus, but by all accounts he was well liked by his teammates at Ohio State. The team welcomed him back with open arms at their pre-Rose Bowl practices when he visited, and he seemed to be pretty popular with everyone.2) I know he came in as one of the highest recruits, but how long did it take for you to realize Bosa was the real deal?Patrick: Nick pretty much came to Ohio State as the player he is now. Obviously he fine tuned his game with Larry Johnson, but he was pretty dominant right away. It took a year for him to see truly significant playing time (though he played plenty as a freshman), but he was ready to go from day one.3) Okay, Bosa can’t be perfect. He had to do something during his three years at Ohio State on the field that caused some sort of concern. What was that?Patrick: He struggles with long, athletic tackles. The best example of this is probably the 2017 game against Oklahoma, where Orlando Brown and Bobby Evans took turns shutting Bosa down. He just doesn’t have the natural athletic ability or length to counter a player like that, so hyper-athletic tackles can cause him some issues.4) Is the comparison to big brother Joey fair and why?Patrick: The comparison is completely fair. Like Nick, Joey came to Ohio State essentially as a finished product, and they had essentially the same career in Columbus. Their skill sets are almost identically, and I’d be shocked if there’s any noticeable difference between them as NFL players.5) What’s the best part Bosa’s game?Patrick: His technical skill is outstanding. He’s an extremely smart player, and there really aren’t many linemen more technically gifted than the Bosa brothers. He has the full arsenal of moves and can use them to break down almost any tackle he faces.6) Bosa has to do what to live up to the hype/his draft status?Really, he just has to keep playing his game. He comes in as finished a product as any player in the draft, and I think he’ll be an all-pro caliber player for years as long as he can stay healthy.
