It was hard to tell what was bigger on Monday: The cast on Nate Palmer's left hand or the smile on his face.

Palmer has moved ahead of Carl Bradford, a fourth-round pick last year who also transitioned from outside linebacker to the inside. Joe Thomas, a practice-squad player last year, and rookie fourth-round pick Jake Ryan also worked some at Matthews' inside linebacker spot, while Andy Mulumba got a good portion of Matthews' snaps on the outside.

Good...as has been reported elsewhere, it sounds like Bradford continues to disappoint (I was really hoping he'd be something)...we need someone to step up there.

But that might not have anything to do with it... 3-4 OLBers are edge defenders just like 4-3 DEs and Palmer might not have the power/physicalness for the edge. So ILB might better let him use his skills if he has the instincts for LB.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed when they drafted Bradford over Aaron Lynch (who had some off the field questions, but I thought could make a very good OLB) and Lynch had 6 sacks in his rookie year with the 49ers.

Joe Thomas is one of my guys to watch at ILB. Really liked him last year in the limited time I saw him. That UDFA has a legit shot. Can't wait to see him in preseason games.

Palmer seems more on the Brad Jones side of things than Desmond Bishop.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
