10. There are teams shopping DEs rather than DTs

Not having watched many 49ers games early this season, its difficult for me to make an assessment on Kinlaw's role or his impact on the 49ers defense. If Kinlaw's role is to absorb blockers to free up the LBs and potentially isolate one OL on Bosa, then his impact may not necessarily be reflected in statistics like tackles and sacks.

Word on the street is the Commanders are shopping their two DEs (Young and Sweat), and the Dolphins have Ogbah, who no longer fits into their defensive scheme. None of them are true DTs. I could see the Colts, Broncos, Patriots, Bucs, and Bears all being sellers before the trade deadline.
