Unfortunately Solly hasn't lived up to his first-round billing. He's a fine backup/rotational piece, and if he were a later selection the whole "bust" label wouldn't even be a conversation.
Right now at $9m he has the 5th largest cap hit on the team behind Jimmy G, Dee Ford, Sherm, and new signee Trent Williams. (Armstead's contract extension doesn't really start costing the big bucks until next season.)
Agree that some team - maybe the 49ers, maybe not - will still want to sign him for a short deal at a couple million a year after this. $9m for a rotational DL isn't exactly great ROI, which is a bummer. But hey, at least they're not paying Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks $33.5m to play for other teams!
