- The Keion White trade last season, which some 49ers fans were upset with at the time because it wasn't expensive enough, exposed how simplistic "splash value" deadline talk is. SF has gotten more out of White for a 6th than Philly got out of Jaelan Phillips for a 3rd

Keion White (6th)
Osa Odighizuwa (3rd)

- #49ers vs. Falcons preview with @harrisonrich_: Nearly a year later, Keion White is living a better NFL life than the one he left behind

Wanting the 49ers to trade with reckless abandon isn’t wise. Take this juxtaposition:
The Keion White trade has produced INFINITELY more — both in impact and value — for the 49ers than the Myles Garrett trade has produced for the Rams.
Splash doesn’t necessarily equal success

- Oct 22 David Lombardi (X) The 49ers have made A LOT of offseason trades as well. And they’ve hit on many draft picks and some key FA signings. Consistently top-shelf rosters don’t materialize out of thin air. The 49ers won 13 games with a borderline JV team last season! · Quoting Danny G: In-season trade acquisitions the 49ers have made since 2019: 2019 WR Emmanuel Sanders 2020 DE Jordan Willis 2021 DE Charles Omenihu 2022 RB Christian McCaffrey 2023 DE Randy Gregory DE Chase Young 2024 DT Khalil Davis 2025 DL Keion White Their track record is strong 👍

- For the 49ers, NFL parity is a double-edged sword. They have an exceptional team that stands out thanks to it. But parity also means that most teams believe they have a shot for longer and are therefore unwilling to trade for longer. Needle-threading trades (Keion White) are where team-improving value is most likely found these days
- It was obvious that the offseason drama surrounding the 49ers wasn’t going to affect their actual play — except for the Shanahan accident. The concussion did seem like a threat. But Shanahan overcame the concussion and, as Keion White says, his bounce back galvanized the team · Quoting KNBR: "(Shanahan) started off this season with a car accident and was still out there. If you can see that from him, then who am I to not give that same energy to him." Keion White gives Kyle Shanahan credit for the 49ers' unflappable standard of toughness.

- Oct 20 David Lombardi (X) The 49ers have such a good pass-rushing foundation, which they didn’t have last season when they were extremely Bosa-dependent. They should still keep layering their depth as much as possible. But that foundation is night-and-day better in a remarkable way · Quoting Tej Seth: Another impressive outing from the 49ers pass rush despite the injuries: they generated a 46% pressure rate (+6.3% above league average) Romello Height had a 16% pressure rate, Osa Odighizuwa and Keion White each had a 14% pressure and others got into the backfield consistently as well Data: @SumerSports

May be the most low-key, inexpensive, under the radar, powerhouse trade John Lynch has made so far. · Quoting David Lombardi: Keion White has taken his game to a new level this season. He has played essentially every single D-line position and been productive in big moments on the pass rush

- Oct 11 David Lombardi (X) Without Bosa these numbers are insane. The 49ers have developed a title-caliber pass rush and that's the biggest development of the past two weeks · Quoting Tej Seth: The 49ers defense consistenly got pressure on Darnold and finished when they did get pressure San Francisco had a 97th %ile pressure rate generated. They had 7(!) different players record at least two pressures with Keion White and Gracen Halton leading the way Data: @SumerSports

- Oct 11 David Lombardi (X) Also: Keion White just destroyed RT Abraham Lucas and made him into another roadblock on the play · Quoting David Lombardi: Gracen Halton's get-off is insane here. He not only beat Seattle center Jalen Sundell to the spot, he blasted and dragged him backwards 5 yards in time to essentially disrupt the handoff. And THEN Halton also had the coordination to punch the ball out. And recover it!

- Oct 9 David Lombardi (X) Nick Bosa also had a lot of good things to say about Keion White, who has lined up as essentially every D-line position for the 49ers and been impactful. Good chance the SF defense is fully operational before the bye week

- The Seahawks' O-line ranks down at #26 in pass-block win rate, #24 in run-block win rate. Point of interest: RG, where Seattle is running a time share between backups Christian Haynes and Beau Stephens (starter Anthony Bradford is on IR). Keion White has lined up everywhere for the 49ers — but has been particularly disruptive out of a 3-tech working vs LG (Grey Zabel). Might Mykel Williams supplement White and Osa Odighizuwa with shifts inside to work against Haynes and Stephens at that RG spot? 49ers took notable strides at DE vs Denver. They collectively rushed the passer better than I'd ever seen in a Bosa-less game. Mykel's return puts a bigger spotlight on run defense — and Seattle's ground game has struggled — but pass rushing against the interior, where the Seahawks have questions, will be huge element to determine Sunday's outcome. Because interior pressure leads to takeaways
- We saw a big surge from Romello Height this past weekend. Keion White has been good all season rushing the passer. Those two are playing an outsized role for the 49ers right now while Nick Bosa is out · Quoting DLineVids: Romello Height attacks vertical, jab steps to draw the OL’s hands, then uses great leverage/play strength to long arm through the OL’s inside! Great rush plan by Height. Don’t sleep on his power game! #PassRush #49ers #FTTB

Best game to date for Romello Height. He finished with the 6th-highest pass rush win % among all EDGE rushers with at least 20 PR snaps in Week 4. This is why the 49ers drafted him.
FWIW, Keion White was 13th. They were winning. The ball was just coming out hot.
