We seem to have a lot of high 1st round picks on our roster, I believe we have 11 or 12 all together. I wonder if any other team has as many 1st rounders as we do?

How about we just count the number of 1st rounders that are starters, seeing the Raiders have 14, but don't know how to use theirs

Raiders:
Michael Huff
Sebastian Janikowski
Nnamdi Asomugha
Kamerion Wimbley
Rolando McClain
Robert Gallery
John Henderson
William Joseph
Richard Seymour
Darrius Heyward-Bey
Michael Bennett
Darren McFadden
Kyle Boller
Jason Campbell

its great to have so many first rd picks

i wouldnt take that as a winning team even though 49ers are on the brink of greatness this season its not first rd picks that make a great team its pure drive to greatness and good coaching

for instantce if a team went out and signed all first rd picks and had a team of first rders does that make a winning team
