In this day and age in the NFL, there are two positions that are on another level beyond the rest in importance: quarterback and the EDGE position.
The San Francisco 49ers have one of these positions locked down, in the way of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But if the 49ers want to make a serious playoff run in 2018, they must address the latter.
Over the last few years, the NFL has become more and more of a passing league.
Players are bigger, faster and stronger than they have ever been, and it’s creating a “big play” product on the field.
