All I keep hearing and reading is that SF is in love with Bosa. You really don't hear any other names linked to SF and Bosa fills a huge need for SF. Wouldn't it make sense to go as far as drafting Bosa to force SF to trade for him? This all assumes that he is the #1 target by SF or other teams. Could this play out like when the Chargers drafted Eli Manning? Could backfire I suppose (if they don't Bosa)

A tough sell as they also need Allen or williams if they cant get bosa.

If Bosa says he won't play anywhere else but SF, then you do what San Diego did with Eli Manning.

Except I just saw their GM saying they would be happy with either Bosa or Q.

I'm wondering if Bosa slides a bit with GM's beginning to question the soundness of spending a top 5 pick on a player with such a recent history of major injury. There are so many sure fire studs to choose from, they have to wonder about the risk with Bosa. BUYER BEWARE.

Let Bosa go to SF.

We don’t play them until Week 9 & 11, so the chances of us actually playing against him are slim.

His only multi-sack game was against a 2-10 Oregon State team.

When the Chargers drafted Eli, they were willing to risk him sitting out a year since they had Brees. The Giants offered Rivers, 3rd rounder, and next year’s 1st for Eli so the Chargers easily accepted that deal

1. We can use him
2. Why would we ever give SF what they need?
3. Better idea : trade with Oakland who would love Bosa.

So - Cards won't have to face after this season?

Didn't know that.

Even if we draft Bosa, they’ll end up picking a defender with similar potential that we’d have to worry about.

With that said, adjusting draft strategy because we’re worried about facing one defender in the draft is ridiculous since players bust all the time and there’s this thing called game-planning

I hate talk of tanking a season to improve our draft position or making a pick solely to shaft a rival.

We should be in the business of winning football games (because we're better) / not playing "Let's Win a Draft.

Nick Bosa doesn’t really scare me. I mean he’s good and all but he’s not a generational type talent

It is a way to force SF to give up draft capital and it has been done before. This isn't unique.

But to my knowledge a trade within the same division has Never Happened maybe the old days but not since they went to this division format

Let the 9ers have Bosa. I am much more afraid of them getting Q Williams. All this talk of Murray and Bosa and the true generational talent is staring is right in the face in QW.
