The 49ers primarily run a wide-9 attacking front that utilizes athletic defensive linemen who can two-gap and penetrate.
Armstead can be an immediate starter as a strong-side defensive end who also offers valuable interior pass-rushing upside; his ceiling is a dominant two-gap end capable of consistently collapsing the pocket.
He would be a poor fit in a true 3-4 two-gap system where his pass-rushing athleticism would be underutilized in favor of pure block consumption.
Armstead projects as a versatile defensive end with the size and athleticism to excel in a gap-penetrating or two-gap scheme, particularly with the 49ers' wide-9 front.
Selected #17 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of Oregon.
