He's just a special athlete and I can't help but plug the Chiefs to draft DT every year in the 1st to help him out, but the risks are just always going to be there.

You mention Kinlaw - if there's a 5th round pick sort of trade to be made for him, I'd make it.
Kinlaw just rotating in for Jones on a few downs/gm; lets say 15-20, would be a damn fascinating experiment. Especially if some of those downs have Jones at DE.
But ultimately I don't think the 49ers dislike the guy - he just can't stay healthy. And usually that means they'll keep him and hope he can stay on the field. It's the work ethic/scheme fit guys that typically get dumped. Kinlaw doesn't seem to present any of those problems.
