Los Angeles Rams’ activity in this nigh madness that is the NFL trade deadline. They traded a 2019 third round pick and a 2020 fifth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars to secure the services of Dante Fowler. That makes the Rams defensive line Authentic K'Waun Williams Jersey , which was already one of the best in the league, even better. It also makes the Rams not only push their chips all in, but take shoes off, dig through couch cushions, pawn the watches, and anything else to add to their all-in plan for 2018. The Rams now have four picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. They have their first, fourth, fifth and sixth round picks. They have Jared Goff on a rookie contract Authentic Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey , and given the rate at which rookie deals are increasing, their window to win a Lombardi Trophy is now.Before you go nuts wondering why the San Francisco 49ers didn’t make a trade for Fowler, remember, they are 1-7 and that’s Dante Fowler. Fowler is not Jimmy Garoppolo and his (Fowler’s) contract is up at the end of the season. A quarterback and a defensive lineman—especially one like Fowler who comes with question marks—are two completely different scenarios with that contract status. The Rams now will have to dig into the bank once again to pay Fowler some money if they want to keep him around, while bracing for the future huge contract Jared Goff will command. If they decide not to pay Fowler (and given Fowler’s background and slightly disappointing play thus far, they might) they just gave up two more draft picks to win a Super Bowl in 2018. If the 49ers wanted Fowler they probably could make a play for him in free agency, but he might not be worth it. He’ll be a nice commodity, but he also comes with some off-field issues and not living up to the third overall pick of the 2015 draft. The Rams want some more insurance with that defensive line to get their Super Bowl win. The 49ers want to get out of 2018 while mitigating further disaster. If the Rams hold onto Fowler Authentic Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , it’s more salary cap money that is sapped away and it’s two less draft picks for when those cap hits catch up with them. If the Rams don’t win a Super Bowl this year, they just burned more of their future for a guy who might not be around 10 or so games from now. The 49ers are 1-6 and have lost five-straight. They now travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals for the second time in four weeks after a 28-18 loss at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers committed five turnovers in that game and gave the Cardinals their first and only win on the season. It’s safe to say that this feels like a must-win for Kyle Shanahan’s squad.Here are five players to watch when the 49ers battle the Cardinals on Sunday:WR Dante PettisPettis makes his anticipated return against the Cardinals after missing nearly four games due to a knee injury suffered during a punt return in the opening minutes of the 49ers’ Week 4 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. In three games, the 49ers’ rookie reeled in three receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown while averaging 32-yards per reception. Pettis seemed like a big play waiting to happen during limited action.Veteran receiver Pierre Gar莽on (shoulder/knee) was ruled out Saturday, increasing the likelihood we see plenty of Pettis against the Cardinals. The 49ers’ receivers have underwhelmed so far this season. Perhaps a healthy Pettis will add a new dynamic for struggling quarterback C.J. Beathard. LB Reuben FosterAll eyes with be on the 49ers’ second-year linebacker when he takes the field Sunday. Foster was the topic of discussion this week after fighting through a shoulder injury that’s plagued him for weeks. Both Shanahan and coordinator Robert Saleh acknowledged the injury that Foster said won’t require surgery after undergoing an MRI.Foster’s struggled so far this season, grading out as one of Pro Football Focus’ worst linebackers through seven games. It’s unclear if the shoulder is the sole cause for the massive drop in production, but it’s impact is evident on the field. We took a more in-depth look at Foster’s struggles here. Keep an eye on the 49ers’ second-round pick Sunday as he looks to regain his 2017 form.DL Solomon Thomas28 picks before the 49ers selected Foster at No. 31, they drafted Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas third-overall. So far, Thomas has underwhelmed in his limited role on the 49ers’ defensive front. Thomas’ success at Stanford was along the interior of the defensive line http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/ahkello-witherspoon-jersey , but he's been relegated mostly to defensive end with the 49ers - until recently.Thomas played more snaps along the interior of the 49ers’ defensive line against the Rams in Week 7 than he has in any other game this season. The results were a step in the right direction, receiving the third-highest game grade (77) of his career, per PFF. Thomas’ usage and alignment will be worth watching against the Cardinals.QB C.J. BeathardBeathard boosted his stock after an impressive Week 6 performance opposite Aaron Rodgers in the 49ers’ 32-30 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Unfortunately, Beathard followed that up with an abysmal afternoon against the Rams at Levi’s Stadium, completing 15 of 27 for 170 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and two fumbles. The 49ers’ 39-10 Week 7 loss to their NFC West opponent is currently the low point of the season.Beathard’s worst game of the season prior to the Rams was against the Cardinals, also at Levi’s Stadium. He’ll have a chance to redeem himself as the 49ers head to Arizona for a rematch just three weeks later. Shanahan is already fielding questions as to when we may see the debut of backup quarterback Nick Mullens. Beathard must put together a respectable showing if he wants to maintain his leading role White Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey , and more importantly, give the 49ers a chance at their second win.CB Richard ShermanSherman missed the 49ers’ Week 7 contest against the Rams with a calf injury. He’s remained questionable to play against the Cardinals all week, but he is expected to return to action on Sunday. Sherman’s calf injury has cost him three games so far this season.Despite some missed time, Sherman has been everything the 49ers’ hoped for so far in 2018, essentially shutting down an entire side of the field for San Francisco’s secondary. His veteran presence is a welcome addition to a secondary that’s struggled with missed assignments. Sherman’s already said that if he plays Sunday, he’s unsure if he’d be able to go against the Raiders the following Thursday. His ability to maneuver on Sunday will be worth watching.
