Whether it was an overall positive would depend on how much they could upgrade elsewhere on defense with the money saved. Again, Clark is the safe, albeit expensive, option.You don't think having an actual NFL starting caliber WR on the team helped open up the team's offense? I guarantee that the 49ers dline last year was good enough that they wouldn't have slowed down much if Armstead was off the field. He's a good player, but they have so many good players on defense that one more doesn't mean as much.People starting to look at teams are beginning to notice that what tends to matter most for winning is the number of weaknesses on the team, not necessarily the number of strengths. Being amazing at 2-3 positions groups but weak in 5-7 is worse than being great at 1 position but weak at only 2. Something to think about.</blockquote>
