For weeks http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-justice-hill-jersey , it’s been presumed that, if the Cardinals take quarterback Kyler Murray with the first pick in the draft, the 49ers will take Ohio State pass rusher Nick Bosa. But G.M. John Lynch acknowledged on Monday that the team has considered taking Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.Why would they do that? Lynch was asked on Monday.“Just because he’s an excellent football player,” Lynch told reporters. “The season he had may have been as good of a college football season that I’ve ever seen. He was just dominant. To think that that was his first year playing nose tackle.“It’s a great story. He went to [Alabama coach] Nick Saban and basically says, ‘I want to play nose for you.’ He’d never played in there. Nick kind of goes on to tell him what he would have to do to make that happen. It was gaining a lot of weight, doing so in a good fashion, and the kid did. What a season he had. He’s a spectacular player. When you look at how your roster is currently comprised, when you have an opportunity to take a talent like that, you certainly look at every avenue to improve your team.”So where would Williams play on the San Fran defense?“He can play anything, that guy,” Lynch said. “He’s special.”So special that Lynch said he’d have no qualms about adding Williams, even with DeForest Buckner on the roster.“If [Williams] ended up here there’s room for all those guys,” Lynch said. “We really feel like that. The one thing we’ve tried to do is take some versatile players that can have the flexibility to play inside, outside. And I think that gives you flexibility in who you bring in. Philosophically Ben Powers Jersey , like I said, coming in waves. We like having strength in numbers and strength in the quality of those numbers.”Whether it’s Bosa or Williams, the 49ers could end up with a special defensive line. Lynch acknowledged that it has “an opportunity to be dominant.” Apart from quarterback play, that’s the key to winning consistently in the NFL. DETROIT (AP)Jim Caldwell’s cool and calm demeanor was on display in what might’ve been his last game as coach of the Detroit Lions. Caldwell chatted with each of his players as they stretched before the game, as he always does. And after it, he didn’t seem to give anyone an indication his future with the franchise was in doubt. Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes and Detroit beat the turnover-prone and short-handed Green Bay Packers 35-11 Sunday in a matchup of teams out of the playoff race.Article continues below ... The Lions (9-7) finished with a winning record in consecutive seasons for the first time since doing it three years in a row from 1993-95. That relative feat, along with a 36-28 record and two postseason appearances over four seasons in Detroit, may not be enough for Caldwell to keep his job. ”I’m not done yet,” Caldwell said with a slight grin. Detroit linebacker Tahir Whitehead said Caldwell didn’t look or sound like he was coaching him for the final time. ”He’s the same guy, win, lose or draw. Same tone,” Whitehead said. ”That’s what you’ve got to love about him.” The Packers (7-9) have a losing record for the first time since 2008, which is also the last time they didn’t earn a spot in the playoffs. Their chances this season were crushed by Aaron Rodgers missing nine games with a collarbone injury, Green Bay http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-iman-marshall-jersey , without several banged-up players, gave away its chances to close with a win by turning it over three times in the first half to help the Lions lead 20-3 at halftime. ”The way we took care of the football today was unacceptable, and obviously had a big impact on the game,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said The Packers surprised Detroit by opening with an onside kick they recovered, but didn’t take advantage because Jamaal Williams bobbled a pass that was picked off by Jarrad Davis. They did take a 3-0 lead on Mason Crosby’s 41-yard field goal late in the first quarter, but Detroit tied it on the ensuing possession and took control in the second quarter. Stafford threw a go-ahead, 54-yard pass to Kenny Golladay. After Green Bay’s Donatello Brown allowed a punt to hit him, the Lions recovered to set up Stafford’s 3-yard pass to Marvin Jones to put Detroit up 17-3. Stafford threw a 71-yard TD pass to Golden Tate late in the third, giving the Lions a 27-3 lead. Brett Hundley threw 17-yard TD pass and 2-point conversion to Randall Cobb to pull the Packers within 16 early in the fourth period. Hundley was 14 of 24 for 172 yards with two interceptions and a fumble. He was replaced by Joe Callahan late in the game. ”We had a lot of opportunities,” Hundley said. ”We just stopped ourselves.” Stafford was 20 of 29 for 323 yards without a turnover. He caught a 2-point conversion pass after Ameer Abdullah, who had just run for a TD, took a direct snap and pitched it to Tate, who easily connected with Stafford in the end zone to put Detroit up 35-11 midway through the fourth quarter. HE SAID IT McCarthy may make changes on his coaching staff this offseason, but he refused to talk about anything not related to the season-ending loss. ”I’m here to answer questions about the game Trace McSorley Jersey , so let’s not waste each other’s time,” he said. STAT-STUFFERS Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, in the last year of his contract, had three sacks for the second straight week to give him 12 this season and 44 in his five-year career. Detroit cornerback Darius Slay, who started Week 17 leading the NFL in interceptions, picked off his eighth pass of the season. TAKE A SEAT Detroit rookie tight end Michael Roberts was inactive because of conduct detrimental to the team, Caldwell said. INJURIES Packers: WR Geronimo Allison left in the first quarter with a finger injury and returned to play for a banged-up team minus receivers Davante Adams, who signed a contract extension Friday, and Jordy Nelson because of injuries. CB Damarious Randall, TE Richard Rodgers, G Jahri Evans and RB Aaron Jones were also inactive. CB Davon House had a shoulder injury and Williams was evaluated for a concussion late in the game.
