The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up the 2017 season and have begun their work to prepare for 2018 free agency and the draft. We’ll be breaking down plenty of what that means, but in the meantime, we wanted to take a look back at the season that was for the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo captured our imagination, but the 49ers rebuilding process was extensive last year. We are going to take a look at every notable addition and provide a forum for grading how that signing, trade, or draft pick worked out.
Solomon Thomas, defensive lineman
How acquired: Drafted in the first round (3rd overall)
The 49ers were connected to Thomas for much of the pre-draft process, but it felt like a smoke-screen.
