Just myopic.
Bosa, Ford, Bucker, and Armstead are all good players.
I'll even give you Bosa being better than Clark this year and likely going forward.
But Chris Jones is better than either Armstead or Buckner. Jones outproduced Buckner in pass-rush counting stats this year despite missing 3 games (and basically 4) - and had just one fewer tackle for loss. Roll it back to 2018 and it's the same story.
Armstead outproduced Jones by one sack and 3 TFL this year, again despite playing 3 more games. Armstead wasn't even in Jones' ballpark last year.
Jones tracks to 12 sacks, 27 QB hurries, and 11 TFL if playing a complete season. Just so you know what we're talking about here.
And as for Ford and Clark... as already stated, Clark has outperformed him as a pass rusher. And he does more than just rush the passer. He sets and holds the edge. He plays the run. He plays through injuries (both have been injured this year, but Ford - as usual - sat his bitch ass out every time he had a hang nail).
Charvarious Ward would be the second-best CB on your team. So would Breeland. Either would start.
