For a conditional 7th rd pick. Another Baalke pick gone

And it's actually a top headline on ESPN because he was one of the guys that kneeled.

Like that had any impact on them trading him whatsoever.

That's something of a surprise. Harold was a disappointment, but I figured he'd be our starting SLB this year and has played pretty well against the run. He developed into something of a poor man's Manny Lawson. Who starts at SLB now? Lee? Watson? I would have said our depth was better at MLB and WLB than SLB.

This adds to the very disappointing truth that our pass rush is going to KILL US this season....

Lynch and Shanahan on Eli Harold.

I think Harold was playing fewer snaps. Unfortunately he was useless as a pass rusher
