If it's "the" greatest ever, then I think just one person should be picked for each number. Also, a punk like Deion Sanders who was only on the team for one overrated season should not be mentioned anywhere near a "Greatest 49ers" thread!

And I would put Eric Wright over Deion or Gore for #21. William Floyd way above Fred Beasley for #40! Bill Romanowski over Bowman for #53.

#30 - Lance Shulters. #43 - Dave Waymer. #49 - Jeff Fuller. #56 - Chris Doleman. #65 - Ray Brown. #66 - Kevin Gogan. #75 - Kevin F*gan.
