We’re taking a look at impending free agents the San Francisco

49ers could target at the start of the league year."General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan enter into Year 3 at the helm of the San Francisco 49ers. With a slew of roster needs and some $65 million in salary cap space Fred Warner Jersey White , the 49ers could be among the more active teams in free agency. In this series, we’ll be taking a look at impending free agents that could be on the team’s radar at the start of the league year on March 13.The 49ers have long been linked to a pass rusher with the No. 2 overall pick. Kentucky’s Josh Allen was the early consensus to San Francisco, but with rumors swirling of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray going first-overall, Ohio State’s Nick Bosa has picked up steam for the 49ers. Even if the Lynch targets a pass rusher in the draft, the team could still benefit from the stability and development of a veteran presence at the position.Among the top defenders slated for free agency is Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake. In today’s NFL, there typically won’t be a robust market for a 37-year-old veteran. Wake is the exception. The long-time Dolphins defender is still playing at an elite level and he’ll draw significant interest at the onset of free agency.In his tenth season, Wake totaled 36 tackles and five tackles for loss. He also added 17 quarterback hits, six sacks and a forced fumble. Wake earned an overall grade of 81.6 in 2018 from Pro Football Focus, ranking 16th out of 113 edge defenders. His 81.1 pass rush grade was even more impressive, placing him among the top 10 at his position. Wake’s 53 total pressures on the season gave him an 18.9% pressure rate Womens Aaron Burbridge Jersey , the second-best out of 73 edge defenders.Wake signed a one-year, $9.1 million contract extension with the Dolphins in 2017. He’s likely to maintain that value, landing a one- or two-year deal with a team that feels they’re a pass rusher away from contention. In spite of a 4-12 record in 2018, the 49ers feel they can compete for a playoff spot with the return of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Wake would prove an effective complement to a young defensive front chalked full of first-round talent and offer the 49ers’ defense a legitimate pass rusher.

Many consider the Ohio State defensive end the best player overall in the 2019 NFL Draft and he has been selected by the 49ers with the second pick. The 49ers pass rush was abysmal in 2018 and it was made clear early-on in the 2019 offseason that John Lynch meant business on fixing the unit. They released Cassius Marsh (after picking up his option) and traded for Kansas City Chiefs edge rusher Dee Ford. That still left the other end for an edge-rusher and Bosa will be plugged in there to fill the void. Bosa is a stout defensive end being six feet Womens Trent Taylor Jersey , three inches, and 265 pounds. His hand technique is nothing short of elite and if there’s anything that may need work it’s his stand-up ability. Don’t let that deter you, Bosa is one of the best players in this draft. His draft card here at Draft Network gives you everything you need to know about him. SB Nation’s FanPulse voters say Nick Bosa is the best player in the draft.A second generation defensive end, Nick Bosa is the the son of John Bosa who was the first round draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in the 1987 NFL draft. The elder Bosa’s career was brief with only seven sacks and two fumble recoveries across 31 games. Nick Bosa is also the brother of Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa who has been a game-changer since coming to the Chargers in 2016. Nick Bosa’sinjury history is concerning as he was sidelined his junior year with an abdominal injury after just three games and he didn’t feel right until long after the season was over. Before that he suffered and ACL tear that ended his high school career. One thing is for certain: the 49ers pass rush needed sacks. The rest of the defense was suffering for everyone not named DeForest Buckner’s inability to get pressure. The 49ers would have a line of Ford, Buckner, Solomon Thomas, and Nick Bosa. If Thomas can take his game to the next level, we are talking about what could be the best defensive line in football in a year or two.
