Kawakami: The 49ers’ trade for Chase Young is a triple-down on everything they already are
New York TimesHaving a bad day? Let’s say this about the 49ers’ decision-makers in the wake of their acquisition of defensive end Chase Young from Washington at Tuesday’s deadline for a compensatory third-round pick: Shanahan and Lynch are consistent, they are committed, they are intently and very specifically focused and, yes, you can say that they’re more than a bit predictable. He hasn’t been perfect in his first 49ers season, but Lynch and Shanahan are signaling that Wilks will look a lot better with Young blasting over the right tackle every passing down. 61 in 2022 And if you count last offseason’s huge free-agent addition, Javon Hargrave, who was a 2016 third-round pick, the 49ers have eight defensive linemen who were drafted in the top 100. If, after giving up so many premium picks in the McCaffrey and Lance deals the last few years, the 49ers were unwilling to part with next year’s second-round pick and only were dangling one of their upcoming comp picks, it was going to be for a defensive lineman every time.
