"Alexander is coming off of a torn ACL, but he is one of the best cover linebackers in the league when healthy." Mosher wrote. "He and Fred Warner will instantly make the 49ers defense drastically faster."
Acquiring Ford from the Chiefs was another move that made a lot of sense in Mosher's opinion.
"Heading into the offseason, finding a pass-rusher was easily the team's biggest need. Now, Ford will fill some of that void as he has proved to be one of the league's best sack artists," he wrote. "While he has dealt with some injuries in the past, there is no doubt about his production. In his last 41 games, Ford has tallied 61 quarterback hits, 35 tackles for loss and 29 sacks. Now that he is joining a team with DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead, that production should only improve."
Verrett and Coleman were also tabbed as low-risk moves that could benefit the 49ers greatly in 2019. For Mosher's full comments on the 49ers as well as his other "winners and losers," check out the full article here.
