ROTB Poll: which team has added the most talent this off-season?
It would not be a stretch to think that the Cardinals and 49ers have been feeling more than a little envious of the way the Rams have, in very quick fashion, bolstered their defensive line with significant talent, primarily through the NFL draft.
The Rams’ Fab 5:
- DE Jared Verse —- R1 2024
- DT Kobie Turner —- R3 2023
- NT Poona Ford —- UFA LAC
- DT Braden Fiske —- R2 2024
- DE Byron Young —- R3 2023
The Seahawks under 2nd year defensive-minded HC Mike Macdonald, have been fast at work to try to create a Fab 5 of their own.
- ED Demarcus Lawrence —- UFA DAL
- DE Leonard Williams —- Trade/NYG
- NT Byron Murphy II —- R1 2024
- DE Jarren Reed —- R2 2016
- ED Uchenna Nwosu —- UFA LAC
This off-season, the Cardinals and 49ers have taken significant effort to improve their defensive line talent.
Cardinals’ Fab 5:
- ED Josh Sweat —- UFA PHI
- DE Walter Nolen —- R1 2025
- NT Dalvin Tomlinson —- UFA CLE
- DE Darius Robinson —- R1 2024
- ED Baron Browning —- Trade/DEN re-signed
Note: Plus, the timely additions of UFA Calais Campbell and 2025 3rd round pick ED Jordan Burch.
The 49ers’ Fab 5:
- ED Nick Bosa —- R1 2019
- DT Alfred Collins —- R2 2025
- NT C.J. West —- R3 2025
- DE Jordan Elliott —- UFA CLE
- ED Mykel Williams —- R1 2025
Note: The 49ers have now acquired edge rusher Bryce Huff from PHI to reunite him with his former Jets’ HC Robert Saleh.
