Ahmad Brooks is a solid pass rusher, but he’s not elite. Last season, he had 7 sacks and 40 pressures, solid stats, but he’s really just a good #2 pass rusher and not a #1 type guy. That’s what he is for the 49ers because they have Aldon Smith opposite him. Given that, I think they overpaid a little giving him 6 years, 37 million, but they didn’t give him a lot guaranteed (8.25 million). I don’t love this move, but I don’t hate it.
